Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread - Miami @ Pats

[Deus Irae]

The Jarrett Stidham era starts today!

I'll be as positive as possible, and quote a famous Boston scholar and movie star:

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uche inactive...arghh...

With Cunningham inactive, none of the OL backups have ever played in an NFL game (2 rookies, 1 redshirt rookie). Suppose it's easier for a rookie to backup now since there's 3 backup OL so they don't need to know as many positions on the OL right away.

 

[SBLIII]

Is Uche down the depth chart?

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Lets hope this team outperforms its expectations.

Temperatures expected to be around 70 degrees, with no precipitation, for Patriots-Dolphins opener. Light wind. About as close to a picture-perfect day as possible.

Hi Ashley! Thanks for setting this up!

That propaganda piece was pathetic.

#Patriots ILB coach Jerod Mayo was just putting his group through a warmup. It consisted of just three players: Ja'Whaun Bentley, Brandon Copeland, Anfernee Jennings. Hard to believe we went from the boogeymen to that in one offseason.

Think that is the first position that's going to get attacked in FA.

Hopefully Bentley takes a step forward though.

They will. People are sleeping on them and to me, there is no good reason to.

Hope u are right ....with no preseason and only some brief camp footage this is first year where I have no idea what to expect

 

[Uptown]

nope, because that was a banged up, fire had dimmed team, to the point some had quit (looking at you Collins and Van Noy) . The post implied Flores gave the Pats fits in a 43-0 loss, he's the one that said "talented roster' Secondly, Flores doesn't have an idea how a Cam Netwon led Pats offense will be and you can say the offense ain't talented but Netwon got to the SB with a team that had Ted Ginn, Jericho Cotchery and Devin Futchess as his WRs and Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert as his RBs.




You clearly stated Flores gave the Pats fits when they were talented. A 43-0 loss isn't giving a talented team fits.

So if you play that game, then what about a first time head coach taking over a terrible, talent-less, injured football team, starting off with 4 extremely talented and/or championship-experienced teams (BAL, NE, DAL, LAC?) Hell of task, don’t you think? Then, mid/late in the season they got much much better & kicked our asses when it mattered most. Facts.

Time to find out who ran outta town like he who doesn't matter anymore.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

what are realistic expectations for the Dolphins? Is another 5 win season disappointing for BF and puts his coaching into question?

 

[SammyBlueCat]

I am vigorously scratching a wood post!

 

[Foxypats]

So excited about this season, so many unknowns , will be very interesting to see it all unfold !

 

[doctahwhodat]

LFG!!

 

[festy1986]

Man. Uche gonn N'keal Henry me?

Tight ends better show some promise today.

 

[Uptown]

Minutemen are a healthy scratch. Totally blindsided by this move. We definitely could’ve used them, with the lack of overall talent out on the field today. I trust BB/JMD will scheme around that..

 

[Vindicate]

I hope we find out today that Mayo is a really good coach and not just we had an amazing LB corps last year lol.

Fingers crossed. I think they can get the job done.
