I’ve got “The Patriots will have over 175 yards rushing or rush 30 or more times”.

I I had to choose just one I’m going with Patriots leading the league in sacks after week two.

The Dolphins O-Line stinks, they’re already beat up, our defense should be finished with goofy week one mistakes and they’re currently tied for the third most sacks. The more our front play together the better they’ll get at running stunts.

Chaisson had a sack so I’m one for one on pregame polls.

It will not be a good look if the Pats lose again Sunday. Coaches were thrown under the bus by fans and media last season which have been replaced. In fact, this has been a narrative used as an excuse since Bill's final years. Lots of money has been spent in FA the last two years and they had high draft picks only to have the same results. The @ Miami game couldn't have come at a worse time.

Don’t want to derail the thread, but I’m curious how many seasons it will take until there is no residual blame of Bill for whatever current team is on the field. Only 2 years removed now so it’s still fresh, but will it be 5+ when it’s no longer a reference point?

If they lose to Miami these coaches and players responsible will deserve whatever comes their way.

At least Tua isn't playing well and the Phin's are in turmoil.

Yeah, we'll get killed definitely.

Next is Pittsburgh and Rogers hung 4 TDs on the Jets.

The blame on Bill has been a bad argument. This isn't Madden football where championships are flowing year after year - especially when you lose your once in a lifetime QB. Mayo was wrong for blaming Bill for the roster and now Vrabel was recently complaining about it. It is not Bill's responsibility to make sure the roster was stacked or else Bill would still be the HC. But to answer your question, it will end when they are competitive again.

If they lose to Miami these coaches and players responsible will deserve whatever comes their way.

I can live with a loss if the offense can show they can put scoring drives together and keep up with the Dolphins. If it's the same story with them scoring early and let the other team take over, I expect the media to start questioning things. Many people want to baby Maye, but he's not facing gauntlets like it was back in the day. Raiders are a very mediocre team with many no-namers and they came out flat at home.

At least Tua isn't playing well and the Phin's are in turmoil.

Things can always change when you're at home and it was only week 1 where people overreact. Pats defenses has struggled against Tua's offense. If Gonzalez doesn't play, I'd be concerned. Speed has been the Pats achilles heel for many years.

I really, really debated the Woodson picking off Tua. He's always good to throw you a couple.

If he's shaky like he was against the Colts...yup. I think Woodson is a ball-hawk. I could see it.
