Our offense was never the same once Edelman went down. he’s really the heartbeat of the team.
Fabulous player for years, who’s slowed a tad (minus one crazy performance this season). I would be surprised to see him return next Fall. But it’d be nice to see a player like him return to finish the season (his Pats’ career ?) on the field.
 
First time against them Pats had 19 pass attempts and 42 rushes. F it - let's see the opposite with some 00/10 personnel and empty backfield! Have the pass set up the run. Jump balls to our WRs (who have been pulling them down the few times we've seen it - Izzo/Meyers/Harry). Wildcat TD to Cam.

Oh fine realistically more 21 personnel... sigh
 

Looks like no Gesicki since he didn’t practice Wednesday. McCain being out is of no consequence, IMO, since we didn’t have the passing game to take advantage of his loss anyway. Looks like Parker, Van Noy, Grant, and Breida will all go. If Fitz was starting, I’d say this would definitely be the semi-annual L we take in Miami, but maybe we can confuse Tua into a few turnovers to give the offense a short field. Otherwise, I’m not sure how we consistently move the ball on them.
 
This is not a great match up for us. I think Miami runs and runs like the Rams did. Not sure what our offense does vs this D this time around. They are playing much better.
Why would a terrible running offense be a bad matchup if you are concerned about run defense?
 
Actually more confident in this game than recent Miami games. Probably due to the fact that BB somehow always manages to confuse/rattle rookie QBs.
 
Time to take a wrecking ball to our AFC East rivals hopes starting this week.

The Dolphins ended any SB chances we had last year. Time to return the favor and knock them out of playoff contention.

Then do the same to the Bills who are overlooking that game because they meet Miami in week 17 and make them sweat for that one.

Then at 8-7 the table is set to ruin the Jets plans to get the first pick overall. NOW it's ok to tank. Throw the kitchen sink at it, call up the practice squad and play everyone who wouldn't be on an NFL roster to squeeze the Jets to a win so they fall out of the top pick.

That's what I call a successful finish to the 2020 season.
 
I have no idea which way this will go , a game in Miami against an improved Miami team coached by an ex Pats coach. It has a Miami win written all over it. So for that reason I am going for a Pats victory....lol....Pats to win by 2 touchdowns
 
My favorite soccer club just lost playing fecking bad this makes me mad the next two days so i hope we win and reduce their playoff Chances
 
I don't understand why the Pats practiced in the cold and snow today. I'd head in the bubble and crank the temp up to 80 with high humidity to match what they'll be playing in on Sunday to get a little heat/humidity acclimatization in. If this is what they do before going to Miami every year, it's no wonder we keep losing there in Dec/Jan.

Losing Harris hurts. It is amazing how he has given our offense an identity of toughness all by himself.

but facing 8 men in the box as much as he has takes a toll!
