Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Pats @ Dolphins

[Tunescribe]

In the absence of definite proof to the contrary, changing a career-long strategy because of a terrible record is an indication of desperation, regardless of the parties involved.

I was just in Miami this past week, and even though technically it wasn't that hot (low 90's), the combo of the humidity, surprising effects of increased solar elevation, (and a couple of drinks before breakfast everyday) made any outside physical activity rough.

Glad they went down there ahead of time to acclimate. They should be okay at this point (or at least on the same level as the Fish), especially since it's been a hot and humid summer here in the Boston area.

Hopefully our guys refrain from drinking before the game

Did Tavai inherit those compromising pics of his head coach?

CBS just discussed New England v Miami. Not a single word about New England in the discussion. McDaniels humor, Miami offense, running game, Tyreek and Tua were discussed.

Seeing that weather forecast, wow. That’s really rough. 103 is bad for our guys. Sometimes you can do nothing to overcome this stuff.

Matt Patricia is being dragged and ridiculed all over the NFL. We’ll see if being universally denigrated makes him lock it down even more.

103F, eh? About right for nice cup of Fish Chowdah!

Is there still a game day chat room?

In about 7 minutes give or take.

2001 there was a commercial about the upcoming playoffs and the Pats were the only team in them that wasn't mentioned.

Yes, just opened it

Yes, just opened it

Or in 17 seconds....

Or it is just changing things up to try something new to see if it works. Desperation means that Belichick has all but conceded this game to be a loss and that coming to Florida early is a Hail Mary hope that the Pats might get lucky and sneak out a win. There is clearly no evidence of that. This wasn't a desperation move.

That's not what desperation means.

Offensive Coordinator for the Dolphins? Frank Smith. 1st game as OC ever. Who gives a rat's ***?

A 3-4 defense against that Miami passing game tells me that we’re putting a premium in trying to knock Tua on his ass because the coaching staff/BB doesn’t think our corners can hang with their receivers in man. I’d be shocked if we stayed in a 3-4 base the entire game, but if it’s featured more than we’d expect, that’s probably why.

Scott has been wearing so long hes ready for a new pair. Hes worn them out.

 

[upstater1]

Tyreek is going to get his. Just have to contain him. With Waddle opposite him, it's going to be difficult. Waddle was excellent without Tyreek. This game should open up for him. Need 4 guys just to contain both. Our LBs will be crucial in this game. They must tackle and get to runners

Field crew was probably just trying to dodge bullets.

That's not what desperation means.

It is exactly what desperation means.

Say what you will about Belichick, but acting out of desperation is not one thing you can pin on him.
