Official Game Day Thread- Week 17 Pats @ Dolphins

[ashley]

Would be great to start the playoffs on a nice wining streak. Please no injuries and let's wrap up the number 1 seed today!!!!!!

So, Patriots aren't deactivating starters. Dont'a Hightower and Matthew Slater return

Memba when Slater was "a stupid ST pick" ?

3 WR (Edelman, Hogan, Floyd)
4 RB (Blount, White, Lewis, Bolden)
2 TE (Bennett, Lengel) active today.

I see Floyd having a big day and maybe White at WR too.

Good to see Slater back and healthy. My usual request for a Pats game, a W and no injuries and head back to Fort Foxboro for play offs.

 

[goheels22002]

Williams, Jenkins and Maxwell inactive for that Dolphins defense is good news, especially with those backups at both safety positions. Hogan and Bennett should have big games today.

What happened to Mitchell? I havent been paying attention to practice reports this past week. Why is he inactive?

Knee injury. Doesn't seem too serious.

A lot of BB's picks are stupid to certain members of the fan base who know better.

 

[mitsudriver]

Hoping field conditions aren't a factor in a player injury today. Pats get out of the game healthy I'll be happy and ready for the playoffs.

Fun fact: unlike years past (e.g., 2013, God help us all), per Jeff Howe, the Pats have had at least three healthy scratches every game this year.

May that trend continue for another 5 weeks at least.

Good to see the starters still active. I think Bill takes the 1 seed very seriously this year. He'll have the guys press against Miami early and try to get a nice lead, then play Jimmy for the second half if they're up by at least a couple TDs.

Great to get Floyd the reps, though. Hope to see him make plays.

Nice to see you participating in the game day thread again Ross

I posted this in another thread but will again here:

This is both team's totals from the 13 games they've played against similar opponents. The Pats dominate just about each category except for offensive rushing yards.

I expect to see the Pats overwhelm the Dolphins in all three phases.

Solution: field turf. And no Bowl games 24 hours before a game.

Worry about the lolphins taking some cheap shots.
