PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Beat the Dolphins 33-27

[Zoomnbyu]

Had me on the edge of my seat, misses said "stop shouting at the TV"

I made the Uber driver jump.

To offer the counter point, the throw from Hooper came from a long way away while under pressure, and Rham was being covered closely when he made the catch and there wasn't really anywhere else he could have put the ball.

Yet it's amazing how the same guy can be a zero last week and a hero this week in the eyes of the fans. We had threads kick off last week about how terrible his mechanics are and that means he's lazy. We won't see those threads this week, but he's still the same guy he was a week ago.

Last week we had all these posts about how great JJ McCarthy was, how we should have took him in the draft instead, etc. Not gonna see those posts this week, are we?

Fans in general should listen to the advice above: lighten up Francis! There's a lot of football left to play.

The Lighten Up Francis meme should be one click on the nav bar on this site. @Ian can you fix that?

Ehh Hendo had a subpar game yesterday, but it was his very first game in Miami as a rookie. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Just don't drug test him, please.

Bad throw by Tua but I think Mapu tackles the TE before the line to gain if Tua dumps it off. Still a better play to dump it but not a sure 1st down.

We do???..

With the abysmal “tackling” we did yesterday, that might be a stretch…

All QBs miss open receivers. It happened to Maye last week & it'll happen to him again.

A look ahead..


Attack the middle of the field. Heck, it may be a battle of attacking each other’s LBs in coverage.

Obviously, but this was with the game potentially on the line.

Mac had a pretty good game for the Niners today and won. Brings back Belichick's poor 2022 coaching decisions.

If Mac could have hit a couple check downs things would have been different. He was a mess.

Who or what is an Ehh Hendo?

 

[p8ryts]

He was always open...in preseason.

Again, open receivers aren't an issue on this team, 2 games in a row. If Chism were a linebacker, I'd understand this reasoning, but they barely used a pure slot receiver today.

I like Pop and Chism. Miami was clearly a game planning decision. Doesn't minimize their potential but the focus was rightly on bigger receivers. Just win baby, I don't care who plays as long as we win. Apart from penalties, the offense looked really good. Hope that means the light is on for them. Surprised Maye didn't get a game ball.

“Ehh” is an expression. How old are you?

I was even thinking he should run. That TE could have been his lead blocker.

Also they probably should have just punted like Vrabel did and got criticized for last week. If it's 4th and long and you can still get the ball back with a punt it's worth considering because anything can happen vs one play and game over. As evidence by the fact even after the interception it still wasn't game over they managed to get it back.

What is a Hendo? I am an adult and post like it. Either you are a jr high nerd who makes up names and snort giggles at his own creativity that no one else understands because its not even in basic English, or you have the onset of dementia and just assume everyone understands you. So again, what is a Hendo? Why does a poster mention a drug test in relation to your post?
