Patriots #TBT: Brady’s 82 Yard TD Bomb To Troy Brown To Beat The Dolphins

So since Dolphins aren't fish, how about Trample the Mammal?

...or rather "Trample the Mample".

They need to start selling a remake of that '86 Patriots shirt

how about pummel the porpoise?

As much as we like to mock and ridicule Jets fans (and even Buffalo fans), Dolphins fans are more delusional than both fanbases combined.

That heat will go to your head. Dwayne Wade slowly become more and more of a dbag when he got there. Scientific proof.

Just one quick point to start the football conversation.

The Phins defense does present on interesting problem we haven't seen yet, at least on the surface. With Wake and Vernon as 2 accomplish speed rushers from the outside along with Suh pressuring the middle the Pats are going to have to come up with something different in their game plan.

This is very simple but I don't know the Dolphins' personnel well enough yet to go deeper, and we'll have to go fast as the game is in 2 more days. But on the surface, my instinct is to run right at Wake. To a lesser degree use the same game plan we used vs the Jets. In other words, against NJ we decided we wouldn't be successful with the run (for a number of reasons), so why bother and thus eliminate a strength of the Jets. Wake is a big asset to the Phin defense as a pass rusher, but is a weakness against the rush. Every time you run right at him, you are not only eliminating a strength, you are accentuating a weakness

Of course that will depend on who is available on the OL and at RB this week. It must be a big temptation to sit all the banged up brigade and allow them the full 1o more days to fully heal. At any rate this is a start, but we really need to start checking this team out. Adding Suh was the only reasons so many mediot had the Dolphins as a legitimate threat to beat the Pats for the division.

BTW- an interesting stat. Every team in the AFCE has at least 3 wins. Do you know that 3 wins would get you at least a tie for first in 2 of the NFL's divisions.

Longest touchdown pass ever (any further back and they'd have been snapping from the endzone!)

Good ole Wes. Wish we could have had Danny, Jules, and him at one point. Could have had some crazy movements presnap.

I'd love to see Mason come back and watch him trapping and pulling. Wake isn't very good against the run as it is but Mason would obliterate him and make for some wide open running lanes.

Slammy Miami.

White Wes! Anyone have Tedi's TD in 2003?

 

[KoolAid]

Miami is 30th in the league for rushing YPG, so I doubt Brady will need to throw 50 times in this one.

Highly doubt Mason we'll be back for this one given the reports from practice last week. If it was on Sunday and they had a full week of normal practices i'd say there was a chance but this being a Thursday game just don't think he'll play.
