Game Day Thread 2023 Week 2 OFFICIAL Game Thread: Patriots vs Dolphins

[PatriotSpy]

There have been a LOT of asinine comments on the GDT, but this one belongs in UGH hall of fame

You like this? Were you a fan when bill was in his prime? It wasn’t like this.

 

[Rob0729]

You can count on one hand the Patriots players who played what you could even call "not horrible" in that first half.

 

[PWRxWLF]

This Pats team plays so ****ing slow. The entire offense has been a mess. Im going to give him a break due to amount of time missed but at this moment, Cole Strange looks like a jag out there. Screens that are read by everyone. Receivers that can’t get separation. Costly mistakes yet again. This story has got to change quick,

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

This isn't on Mac.

Much of it is though. He limits the offense so much. You don’t score a lot of points needing to convert and third and short all night.

 

[Guts]

How is this possibly a Kraft issue?

With the whole cash spending to stay in cap

 

[Ian]

Yeah, but our offense just can’t seem to even close to score TDs…Dolphins are moving the ball at will and easily able to score touchdowns.

They have to figure things out asap and that starts with the offense being able to score TDs.

Certainly can't turn it over or make untimely penalties. Put together one of their better starts and that definitely changed the momentum early in this one.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

With the whole cash spending to stay in cap

Oh right…he should be spending way over the cap. Nothing to do with Bill’s cap allocation.

 

[Nunchucks]

Dolphins get the ball and put the patriots to bed. Can't run and the receivers can't hold onto the ball.

When Wade and Bryant are your corners, you have no shot.

The offense is limited because of how mediocre the talent is.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Well if thats the case there should be 3 game changing wr’s coming out who will go on the top 10 this year. They can finally be in line to use a high pick on one.

I don’t trust bill to draft receivers. He’s a defensive guy. That is now past his prime.

 

[patfanken]

3 points - and looked like we had to work hard to get them- vs a defense that got clowned last week. Good stuff.

Interesting - the Pats had some luck running the ball outside early on and then we've gone back to running inside when the defense is aligning with the 3 inside OLmen covered. Almost like the old Eagle defense (named for the alignment not the NFL team) I want to see US start to stretch them and let the RB's make a cut.

I really like what BOB is doing with the passing game. I'm not sure I like the Run game much

 

[DOGWARZ]

Maybe if we tank we can get Marvin Harrison JR.

 

[BennyBledsoe]

Offensive line is killing this team's chances. Constantly playing these quick patterns got predictable quickly. And they can't runblock for anything.

 

[203Pat]

Mike McDaniels is a cool cat

“Well, I haven’t done anything”

Dude looks like he’s heading off to 7/11 for more Doritos and Dr Pepper for his bong hits and Fortnite.

Growing up in CT you could generally always spot a Yalie. I would never guess McDaniel is based on his persona.

 

[Wax Frog]

I actually adored his face when it looked like it did at about the 2:30:40 mark of a very different Pats-Fins game. Sweet dreams!

 

[sb1]

Feels like we have to put in so much effort and work really hard on offense to get points. It’s excruciating to watch so I’m sure it’s the same to play that way.

 

[Love The Drake]

Our Tyreek Hill is on IR.
We need Bill Obrein to call the game of his life.

 

[Guts]

Oh right…he should be spending way over the cap. Nothing to do with Bill’s cap allocation.

Haha I don't know necessarily how it works but the teams that push the cap down the road the owners have to pay the $$ upfront

 

[Rob0729]

Much of it is though. He limits the offense so much. You don’t score a lot of points needing to convert and third and short all night.

But that is the game plan. The Patriots are doing quick passes because the o-line is so bad. They can't go down the field that much. Mac doesn't have the time.

Fair point.
