I feel like I watched a completely different game.

Pats lose that game with Brady imo.
Biggest question would be how quickly Brady would get frustrated at his receivers and start pouting, and how that would affect both teams’ point totals.No.
I mean if they ran that offense and asked brady to run 15 times, sure, but that defense wasn’t holding brady and the patriots to 10 points.
I still like Cam over Tony EasonThere is a lot of praise for Cam and how the offense performed on here.
I feel like I watched a completely different game.
- Playing one of the worst teams in the league last year, the offense had 7 points going into halftime, and 14 points through 55 minutes(!), despite the defense getting two interceptions which put them in Miami territory off the bat.
- Cam's passing wasn't bad, but it was very little substance. Nearly all short throws. He had 2 passes all game that were in the air further than 15 yards.
- It was all his legs. I'm not against running but keep in mind that Miami was DEAD LAST (#32) in the league last year in passing defense. They gave up 39 passing TD's last year and 4,200 passing yards. Yet Cam couldn't squeak out more than 155 yards, 0 TD's and a 79 QBR?
I was big on Cam before he signed in NE. My buddy who is a Panthers fan said "don't be". And I'm starting to agree with them. 14 points in the first 55 minutes play is not cool - especially against the Dolphins.
I guess I just don't understand where all the praise is coming from. I didn't think much in that game deserved praise (from the offense).

You want to see newbies abused? Check out Sons of Sam Horn. It's like a middle school cafeteria...The sort of abusive, loudmouth, blowhard posts you see here from the site's "in crowd" are exactly why I rarely come here.
I wouldn't blame this recent joinee, who had an honest point to make, for giving up on this place completely, as I mostly have, thinking the place is infested with a@@....... If he were to think such thing, he'd have a point.
This place could be great, but it isn't, and you few pathetic souls who abuse newbies - or anybody else who hasn't been blithering here for years - are the reason. The decent folks here, the majority, should toss you out.
Pats gave up 11!
Which is absolutely true, but NO team had a pre-season.
Seahawks scored 38
Packers scored 43
Vikings scored 34
Bills scored 27
Washington scored 27
Ravens scored 38
Raiders scored 34
Panthers scored 30
Jags scored 27
Saints score 34
Bears scored 27
Falcolns scored 25
It's not like there was a lack of scoring around the league.
They all didn't play a pre-season.
They still did more than 14 points in 55 minutes.
you do realize that he is a troll poster... he made the op and the subsequent posts in order to foment arguments, Think what you want about the people who post here, but dont be so oblivious and naive (or act so holier than though - you just shit on a lot of people) as to think the op was created for "constructive" conversation. It was a troll job 1000%The sort of abusive, loudmouth, blowhard posts you see here from the site's "in crowd" are exactly why I rarely come here.

Yup ignorance often triggers my disgust.Triggered much?
did you watch him last season? Without rose colored blinders?
A win is a win
That's the missing piece in the entire discussion. This team is built to rely on defense and special teams play with the offense complimentary. Teams have limited resources to expend with a salary cap and will build the entire team with certain attributes based on what their strategic goals are for the entire season.
Does the OP think that this season's team was built to emphasize offense and offensive production? ....
I tend to take a similar results based approach. That said, sometimes, like the butt fumble game, the extra stuff does bring a wider smile to my face.

This place IS great.
No. He didn't "have an honest point to make". When even the DECENT folk are calling out his schtick as trolling, it's a sign that you're statements are as bubkiss as his was.
I went back and looked at some of your posts and it's amazing how they are filled with complaints about others more than actual football talk.
Not sure what Utopia you've been at, but this is truly NOTHING compared to what the ESPN boards used to be like. And there are plenty of boards that are 1000 times worse.
Yeah. The ESPN board was unreadable from the trolls and the mods couldn’t care less.
No clue what you're talking about but ok.Pfft. You guys see trolls where there are none, which greases the skids for your bullying. Very convenient for ya. (That you is collective for both you and your blowbuddy ilk.)
What I see here in the CYA responses to my post is the classic bully gambit: Abuse somebody until they react, then mock and bully more. Gimme a G, gimme an F, gimme a Y.
I'll continue to come here occasionally to read some of the excellent posts, but as a "community," this place is sick. Think it over.
