1/1/23 Dolphins @ Patriots pregame thread

[Ross12]

I think they started to find a groove in the second half last week. They put the clamps on Burrow, Chase and company even with a depleted secondary and the offense was looking pretty decent. Tua is no Burrow, and the Miami WR group is a lot smaller than the Cincinnati WR group. If they can get Mills and/or Jack Jones back this week and build on that second half from last week they've definitely got a real shot. Maybe Damien Harris comes back as well to keep Stevenson fresh since I don't think they can run everything with Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong quite yet.

season on the line AGAIN....how will Bill's team come out of the gates? asleep at the wheel like last week? win and your actually very alive next weekend playing for spot in the tournament; lay another egg at home and you've notched your second sub .500 season post Brady it's time, let's show we have balls and win an effing game

Easy win for the Patriots. Tua is under a lot pressure to perform in Miami even if he hasn’t lost to the Patriots yet, there is a first for every thing. I think both Qb will be bad but I think Tua will be the worst of the two.

Marcus Jones et Jo Jones will matchup much better against Hill and waddle.

The playoff will depend on if the Bills are playing for the 1st seed or not.

And who's paying you to think??

And Mac is a tier lower than Tua. (Check the numbers )Tua's coaching is about three tiers above Mac's. Once the Competition Committee approves rocketry as a valid technique on offense, we should be fine.

Tua is in his 3rd year, Mac in his 2nd year. Not an accurate comparison as it is common for QBs to take a jump in Y3. If Mac is still bad in 2023, then that is a different story.

I DESPISE Ian "SCUMBAG JETE HONK" Eagle with a 20 year vengeance...may he eat feces and croak like the diminutive green toad he is...oh, and Happy New Year, Pats fans!

Probably. Punt returns and covering Tyreek Child Abusing Hill are the two main reasons I was excited we drafted Marcus Jones.

 

[PatsFan2]

We need Parker for this one we lost two strange games without him.

And how many games has Tua lost vs the pats?

This week will be his first, but I think you already knew that.

So basically we got screwed by the refs again:

I said it during the game and afterwards. The forward progress rule is squishy and open to interpretation by the officials. Not sure why the defense had to “control” Rham,which was Wolstad’s explanation for not blowing the whistle, since his forward progress had stopped and he was corralled by a defender. Odd call.

Ash let's just hope we don't find third way to lose a winnable game. Pretty hard to make up another losing scenario.

Don't forget the Viking game, another one we were robbed

What an adjustment in the second half the GOAT made on defense....

Tua needs a Big game Sunday to silence the critics they started out well and seems to be fading towards the end. Wouldn't surprise me if Miami goes after Jimmy G in FA if they don't feel Tua is not the answer. The young Miami HC is familiar with Jimmy G. Throwing to Hill and Waddle couldn't be any easier.

Pats will win next two because “its hard to beat a team twice…”

Bill beat us 3x last season like we stole something!

Yeah I remember we need D Parker back for this one our Offense misses him.

 

[Real fan 02]

God i hope not. dont want another prime time game especially if we are going to turn up on offense like we do

With our high octane offense we easily should be able to out score the dolphins, wait!!!! .......Is hill, Waddle and gisekci playing?

Twice I think we won the three pass game.
