Agreed...If the Pats can't beat the Fluck Fo's in Foxborough, then there's no hope for them.

You say the Dolphins have improved.

Maybe Fuller (who is suspended), sure, but where? They lost both Van Noy, Karras, and Godchaux to the Pats. Their pickups were minimal - Brissett after losing Fitzpatrick, for example.

Are they really improved?

Looks to me like they've improved at WR, NT & DB; same or worse at QB, RB, TE, OL, DE & LB...

And without Fuller for a few weeks (and will he be the same without the juice?), that's a maybe...but probably improved when he's back at WR. Not for week 1, however.

I don't think they've improved at NT.

And overall? I don't see them as an improved team. Not just saying this as a Pat homer, but when you're saying a team has improved in the off-season, show me how and where.

It's easy to do with a roster like the Pats, of course - comparing this year to last ON PAPER is a joke.

Yeah to say the Doofins have "improved" can be rationalized to a degree, but they really haven't in any overall significant way that should prevent the Pats from beating them Sunday.

I am not under estimating the dolphins,

if we do not shut down the running game, we are cooked.

If we cannot shut down Miami's running game - which sucks - then our whole season is cooked.

What is Roberts crying about that was clear as day
