The official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

I have not watched every Pariots game since Brady started but have seen quite a few of them, and I gotta say: a statement game of what it means to have Tom Brady as your quarterback.

It wasn't a matter of getting over the pressure or handling it, we know Brady's done that his entire career. It was getting over the frustration. To keep that kind of focus despite such a frustrating first half is just...no words.

One of the most impressive wins I've seen from him. Congrats. If this is the type of mental toughness this team has this year, ring #4 is within reach this year. Patriots are playoff ready and more.

Hope Ridley is the starting back next week, he's so much if a better runner right now than green ellis or woodhead

Sanchez sacked in the end zone ...

Jet's Insider suicides right now.

yes.. Gostkowski sucks so bad that he hits the 42 and 45 yarders and puts almost every kick in the 2nd half through the endzone.

You tools need to grow up..

Nice comeback by the Pats..

After my hissy fit and turning the game off, I turned it back on, and seems the team decided to show up!

Not a game we want to watch!

28-14 Giants ... I am so happy.

Jets win next week and they're probably in the playoffs.

I apologize for earlier, Pats look like crap all half and Gost shanks one, I was angry.

However, you calling me a fair weather fan was uncalled for, and you need to stop thinking you're better thn others.

The comeback is nice but that doesn't change the sluggish starts which have plagued us in many consecutive games. That wont work out in the playoffs.

Great win that shows character, love it. Now the Jets are going to lose, what a great day and Happy Christmas every one.

Great comeback win guys. I don't know how you can be anything but proud of your boys. This is just the type of mentally tough win, like in 2000, that will carry you threw the hard times in the playoffs. Proud of you guys.
Congrats

To be fair, though, there's a very good reason for the Pats' sluggish start on O this week, at least.

I won't speak for the D, though.

As bad as the Patriots looked in the first half (one of the worst halves of football I can ever remember them playing....well, since the BB/TB era), they looked that good in the second half. The offense got rolling, the D made big plays. Just a great, gutsy win.

And the Jets lose. Another beautiful (if a bit stressful) day of football.

And a Sancherception seals the Jets loss.

so...let me guess...the first 500 or so posts were all about fire Belichick, Brady is all done, this team $ucks,blow it up,etc etc etc....instead of naming names, let's just refer to these cretins (imagine, on Christmas Eve no less, spending all their time spewing volcanic eruptions of negativity ,trying to infect the rest of this great fanbase with their hateful brand of gameday "fandom") as this------------------------>

Exciting comeback though I wish the D had been able to hold the Dolphins on that last drive. This victory showed grit and mental fortitude and reminded me of the old days. The defense got turnovers but was still extremely porous in pass defense but the D line managed to get sacks. The exact opposite of last years D.

Why ppl here are sorry for their complaints in the firts half? the patriots sucked in the first half, the win dosnt change the fact that every singel player on the team played bad. kudos to them for stepping up, although the D made my heart stop every phins drive.

good win and a very good second half, but i hope BB would talk with them about that, in the playoffs against a better team that comeback will be almost impossible.

the histrionics going on at the Jets Insider MB is a GREAT Xmass present!!

Ask the 2006 Patriots about that.
