Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Dolphins @ Pats

[Triumph]

Jones has hit two of those today. 24yds to Thornton, 29yds to Henry.

Miami is bringing pressure now.

First quarter goes well, when they actually throw on first down, and stretch the field. But, then, they get worried their offense will work and make Mac look good, so better dial it back and run it and only throw WR bubble screens (which the D is waiting for).

As bad as this Miami pass defense is, a 7-point output is pathetic for the offense. Fatt outsmarts himself again.

 

[aluminum seats]

Bourne caught 100 yards and 1TD last game. And now Missing in Action against Miami.

Patricia's brain just doesn't work like the brain of a normal OC. I've stopped trying to fathom the depths of his stupidity and pettiness.

The comparison to Butler is striking

Reporters should push Belichick on this stuff, but they've all pretty much given up with him at this point

 

[Ian]

That’s great. Look at the score.

Context. Look at the offensive totals in the first quarter and third quarter for the season vs the second and fourth. Tells you the plan to start and the plan coming out of the locker room at the half work, but Patricia having to adjust and figure it out from there is where the issue lies.

 

[JMC00]

I know it's been stated ad nauseum but patricia has to go that 3rd & 1 pass call was idiotic, your qb just took a sack 2 plays before and it was erased by your rb getting 18 yards, maybe running is the better option there

 

[Dingleberry]

Right ....

Wait, does this say that the Browns D is better than the Dolphins?

I was told the Browns D was the worst ever, and any QB could light them up. How odd.

 

[Jlaff]

The sad part is that he just wants to play, but Patricia keeps benching him for unknown reasons! FESS up fat matt, did Bourne run over your dog or something, cos this vendetta against him makes ZERO SENSE!

Bourne probably ate the last piece of pizza.

 

[Thelonious]

I don't know, it's week 17...yet we still sort of don't know much of anything.

The coaching has been so bad that we don't know anything one way OR the other. It's like asking a guy to run hurdles with a millstone around his neck, then complaining about his time.

 

[NE_Zealot]

this is UNACCEPTABLE

[VJCPatriot]

He needs to demand new coaches.
I want to keep Bourne.

I'm pretty sure that BB has plugged his ears with cotton to avoid hearing all the complaints from offensive players. His company line response will be the same, "Our coaches are fine. Our offense is fine. We just need to execute better."

Just doing what's best for the football team.

The ball needs to be in the best players hands on offense.

The NE RBs.

thenn patricia would have ate bourne, chess vs checkers

Nothing new here, his play calling has been an ongoing dumpster fire all year long.

Should've been a day 1 starter. Bourne trotting out on the field when asked is just enabling the Coaching staff to do the same old sh*t.

Conversely, Fins haven't even attacked our corners. Look for that to change in the 2nd half.

 

[Dingleberry]

You don’t watch college ball do you?
Kid makes all the throws.

That was Hacksaw Jim Duggan giving the thumbs up to Max Duggan.

I live, breathe, and eat football. Sometimes I shyt football and even make sweet love to it too. Of course I watch college football.
