Official Post Game Thread - Pats shut out the Phins

This was the game that my dream 59-0 had the best chance of happening. My dream has been crushed. We do play them again at home so my dream is still alive!

Probably 0, it was suggested as a way of saving cap room to acquire Trent Williams.

May as well ask your dog how much cap room exists. His answer would be more informative and closer to correct than Eli.

After reading BB's PC I wish someone could put names and faces to the people who asked so many stupid questions.
Everyone knows how BB will answer AB or injury questions but some still persist.
Do they do it just to feel good about themselves that they were the ones not afraid to ask the tough questions?

Not to mention that Gostkowski has always had issues kicking in Miami.

That may bite us in the ass in the Super Bow

Collins clearly gives himself up by taking a knee. Refs ruled it correctly

OK. Originally looked to me like he was down as a result of catching the ball, not intentionally.

Let's not forget the 2004 defense..
That being said, this team has so much potencial, we are discussing if he can be better than the 07 offense and the 03/04 defense at the same time

Had Law and Poole not got injured, they would’ve picked up where 2003 team left off. Keith Traylor was also a beast in the middle taking over for the departed Ted Washington.

I don’t include them due to injuries and BB was using smoke and mirrors to keep it together. They didn’t have much depth either.

I just quickly scanned through a 83 reply thread at Finheaven entitled 0-43, thoughts?
I counted 20 plus fire Flores posts.
There was only one post that gave anything close to crediting the Pats play and that was the Pats slept walk thru the game.

Flores probably doesn't recognize 10-20% of his roster considering how many guys just got there. Even the players that are there are bad. Their WRs/RBs were just trash at times. Easily bottom 3 roster w major OL issues.

They're not close either imo.

Apparently we should call their fans TuANKers?

Sweet Revenge! NO doubt about it, talk about playing for 60 mins.

Fixed it for you. Their D wasn’t that great in ‘07. They were old and didn’t have depth like this team does.

The '07 team's defensive stats were inflated by the offense making opponents have to play catchup for the whole game.

That is exactly what it is.

Why is Jeff Darlington doing patriot recaps?? Where is Reiss

You do have to sorta love the questions just for how it may get classic BB answers. For example there was a Q that started out noting it was the tenth shutout of BB's Patriot tenure and "...how proud are you of the defense?". BB's answer: "...good. If you don't let them score, you can't lose".

BTW, just on a random note . . . I was searching the Twitter to see what was being said about Winovich when I ran across this gem (I'll just post the relevant part):

@steelers
to-do list

4: Trade Matekevich and Chickillo for Winovich

Yes, because there's nothing Belichick would love more than trading a promising rookie for two less-talented, higher-paid players to solve another team's problem. . . .

I feel like we have to teach them fairly basic football concepts on a regular basis. On another note, Big Ben will almost certainly play the injured card on more than one occasion this season. I can practically guarantee it.

Well, that shouldn't surprise any of us. Even taking away any drama factor, Roethlisberger is the one QB among the five aging elites (Brady, Brees, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Rodgers) who's game strategically included escaping the pocket but still taking the hits in order to lengthen plays, as well as standing in against the rush while in the pocket. And, when you add that to what is obviously the least rigorous of the health regimens among that group, it would be surprising if Ben wasn't breaking down.

I don't know. I think that might be meant as kind of complimentary.

Ben 'Jabba the Hutt' Roethlisberger not in fine shape?
