Or maybe not…

will be interestng to see if pats offense was better becaause they played a zone defense or they improved. a man to man team like miami might present more challenges

But all the motion and RPOs stress a man defense more than a zone defense.

Certainly going to be interesting which WR other than Boutte is going to be inactive. Reagor is the closest we have to a Thornton replacement - Thornton pretty much got benched last week after he ran the wrong route and failed to sit, instead running an out into coverage.

Welcome back Jalen, glad to see that ligament is finally stable enough for you to get a few plays in. Be careful on that thing. Okay, here’s your coverage assignment this week. Some kid named “Pop”…

If he plays he'll be on Bourne or Parker.

I think the Jets beat the Giants at home. That means, Pats must win this game or it's over.

Even air can defend Parker.

But what about Juju, Thornton and Parker?!

Realistically Thornton can rotate in easily enough and he’s still getting right returning from injury so not knocking him yet. Juju I have no clue what to do with. Parker might just be a package play guy.

Air can probably put Parker on IR.

They say he's doing normal cheetah things today, whatever that means. Purring at teammates and chewing zebras or something.

Side note - one of my favorite cat videos (slow motion of cheetah at close to full speed):

They already beat us.We are not perceived as a threat to their playoff seeding. KC is. If they beat KC and finish tied W-L it could be a tie breakah.

Crazy to think if Pats win, mia and buf will be 1-2 in the div while the Pats will be 3-1. This game will be important for mia for the 2nd / div tiebreaker assuming they beat buf for the 2nd game.

Patriots, just play like you did against Buffalo and let the chips fall where they fall. Mac, good footwork and frame fundamentals, O-line and backs cover the blitzes, TE and wide outs get open, defense, put the pressure on, slow down hill and waddle. Done.

Guarantee you that BB has this all drawn out on the whiteboard in the meeting room.

at the very least i want them to play well and compete.i doont expect a win. We never do well in miami in the heat. a poor performace and i cant take more mediots talking again and again about who to trade and BBs contract. its been exhausting.

On Bourne. They'll just put their own version of Myles Bryant on Parker and call it a day.

To have a chance, Trent Bown has to be almost healthy and has to play every down.
