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

[Brady to Maye]

I'd say much of what's broken would be easier to fix if they had a full-time DC

Yeah, the man is sick. I hope he recovers but what should they do fire him?

This team will make the playoffs

We will know after the Browns game. The only tough games are at the Bills and possibly the Steelers. If they are 5-3 at worst by this point, they'll make the playoffs.

And I keep reading by some posters this team has the "worst roster in the league". That crap needs to end. They currently lead the league in sacks and Landry is tied for the league lead. Williams is also in the top 7. Gonzalez will eventually return.

Offensively, they are 14 in yards and points when they were among the worst last season.

 

[Uptown]

Get Gonzalez back, hope the LB play AND tackling improve & bank of the development of our young safeties.

 

[Brady to Maye]

The rookies outplayed the vets on the o-line today. Moses with his penalties, Bradbury with his muffed shotgun snap, and Owenu seemed to struggle a times.

They had a win today in a tough place to play. I am happy with that. Sure there are a lot of thing to fix but the Maye look good in part because the OL was better and they called a number of roll outs.

Just pay attention, I will educate you.

Not a snowball's chance in Hawaii. I don't need old delusional, repetitive rants. Run along little NEMmy.

I have no answer on what exactly they should do or the ethics involved. I just feel at this point it's hurting the team having their DC be such a limited participant. The guy subbing in (Kuhr) is said to have potential, but he is as green as it gets. The whole situation is unfortunate and I think it's being reflected on the field.

You are a slow learner, but I promise if you pay attention, I will teach you the game. You will thank me for it when you mature.

Hendo is a party before a wedding.

Not familiar with that term, is it like Hen-do (bachelorette party)?

Thanks for the education

This reminds me of an old joke:

What do you do when a bird poops on your windshield? Dump her

 

[UrbanCowboy]

Its not photoshopped either.

Vrabel was actually keeping up with Gibson down the sideline.

totally, that was the hilarious part. Gibson had a funny quip saying that he needs to speed up if vrabes was keeping up.

 

[Triumph]

The media is so lazy when it comes to man vs zone coverage. They always complain one way or the other. I also think we played a lot more zone than man yesterday. Bedard sucks.

Makes sense.

Fast, shifty guys like Hill and Waddle would have a field day with NE playing too much man without Gonzo. You still play man, but it's a cat and mouse game to confuse Tua.

Vrabes was so excited like he was a fan.

It was a huge damned play. It's nice to see a coach with some genuine emotion. It sure beats the hell out of 'Once they're in between those white lines there's nothing I can do for them'.

 

[Triumph]

Imagine having Hill and Waddle who are 2 of the top WRs in the NFL and still losing? Archane is a good RB too. Tua is being paid like super star QB.

250 million over 5 years, is what he got.

 

[mgteich]

I really thought our CB depth was going to be better. My apologies to the people who rightly called for trying to find more CBs during camp when Gonzo went down.

the cap led the pleading for more CB depth even before Gonzo went down.

 

[n1997y]

And their legs are even synchronized.

Being in sync with the HC is the goal, right?

 

[TheRainMaker]

Trading and paying for Bradley Chubb was idiotic. 4chan is not a bell cow back. Tua being paid was like Purdy in SF. Too many mediocre guys are really cashing in during this era of the NFL. However, had Miami drafted Herbert, we might be having a different conversation about Miami.

 

[rogerthat]

The defensive line most definitely did not suck, particularly in the 2nd half. Carlton Davis did not suck - 1 catch for 4 yards. Additionally, the defense only gave up two TDs. There's problems in the secondary and with tackling, but the defense doesn't suck.

Yes Davis played well and I also thought Marcus Jones played well. Other than that, generally speaking, Miami was able to do whatever they wanted and drive down the field at will. That's not going to be nearly good enough against good teams.

You can never have enough corners. I was ok with our first 4 but we had nothing to speak of beyond that. While there may not have been star vets out there to acquire there were competant ones to compete for cb5 and cb6 spots. We missed the boat on that.
Every organization and personnel teams makes roster building mistakes, it’s inevitable, you can’t operate as if none of your 90 players are reliable. This was one we made, and not the worst one.
