Official Patriots vs. Dolphins Post Game

[Leemo]

Another game decided by the refs. First with the non-call for holding on the 4th and 5 by the Miami receiver to allow Clay to get the 4th down. Then on the TD pass where Jones got yanked from behind right in front of the Ref. And then twice on the Pats final drive where players were clearly interfered with and the refs don't call it.

It's bad enough the Patriots are battling so many injuries, but having to battle the horrible officiating as well just makes it nearly impossible to win games.

Thats the most biased **** i've ever heard. We lost the game, we could have won the game just as easily. We did well considering all the injuries, it seems all you glory hunters just don't understand we cannot win every game.

Stop giving Pats fans a bad name by blaming every loss on the refs. Yes, they probably screwed us over in New Jersey and Carolina, but this time Gostkowski, the defense, and Brady choked. EDIT: Amendola also choked.

Brady choked? lolwut? Brady had two nice passes that should have won it, one was dropped the other one was obvious pass interference.

 

[TomPatriot]

Oh Come on.

The D sucked.

Amendola choked.

We lost.

The D stops Miami if Sims doesn't hold Ryan on 4th and 5. They had that sniffed and stuffed.

Brady choked? Are you ******* blind? Brady conducted a masterful drive DESPITE everyone else. If receivers could hand into the ball.... granted Gostoswki choked too but if they call that PI we win period.

 

[SaCaCh]

No not a ref thing this time. Good game by Miami. There are only so many pieces you can take away from a team. We have done pretty well considering.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

Amendola choked? Please. Actually watch the game before you make stupid comments. I guess Hooman choked too. And Brady on that pick at the end.


The defense is to blame as well as Gost for kicking the freaking ball out of bounds. He's had a great season, but he sucked today.

 

[Tunescribe]

Oh Come on.

The D sucked.

Amendola choked.

We lost.

How did Amendola "choke"? He played a good game. If you're referring to the end zone throw, it was a tough catch and well defended.

 

[stelfans]

They're too injured. It's amazing they're 10-4 right now but the holes in the team are obvious. Sucks that they are missing so many key guys in a year where the AFC is godawful.

Ad now is Solder.
With the beating Brady is about to get he'll probably be the next to get injured.

 

[ausbacker]

Obviously a very disappointing loss, but that was a terrific football game.

The Wallace TD at the end of the first half and failure to make the play on 4th and 5 were the difference.

I'd like to suggest that it's difficult to make a play on 4th and 5 when you're the closest player to the ballcarrier and you're being held.

To anyone saying Amendola choked, how exactly do you propose he pull in that circus catch with a man draped all over him? He made a helluva play to get that close to the score.

 

[fnordcircle]

Did this game convince anyone else that Brady would throw for 8,000 yards and 80 TDs with Manning's weapons?

364 yards 2 TDs, kicker and Amendola prevent 30 points scored with the worst weapon core in the league.

Simply isn't fair.

Amendola had a great game, I'm going to chalk up your cross-thread tirades about him to momentary ******ation as the result of watching that game or something. That drop wasn't on him it was a good play by the defender.

 

[SoCal Pmen]

Had Brady won this game, he would have elevated his opportunity for MVP not that its important to him or the team.

 

[ThatllMoveTheChains!!!]

They faced a hot team at home two thirds of their team... blame isn't really needed. That closing sequence is exactly why the call last week must be made.

 

[DaBruinz]

Oh Come on.

The D sucked.

Amendola choked.

We lost.

Sorry, but we lost not because of Amendola. Only people who are clueless about what is a penalty would believe that. But then, I'd trust the judgement of a 2 year old over you any day of the week and 1000 times on Sunday. You'd blame your mother for the loss if she farted in the room while someone happened to try and make a play. Doesn't mean you are right.

 

[BKBroiler]

Not sure why people are killing Amendola and saying he choked. He made a great play on that ball to even have a chance at catching it. Problem was the defender made an even better play to knock it away.

Also, refs missing obvious PI / holds league wide is getting ridiculous. The DB on Edelman wasn't looking for the ball and outright grabbed Edelman. Who cares if it was the first drive or last drive of a game. A penalty should be a penalty no matter what point in the game.

Well Brady doesn't have those weapons. He's doing the best he can with what he's got. Hell even the O-line is complete crap. It's a miracle that he's still standing.

 

[chasa]

team had a chance to win it AGAIN on a last second 4th qtr pass.

Expected a tough dolphins team, and got a tough dolphins team.

Really agitating when the patriots get a pass interference call every freaks out, and then when there are no calls people are like "yeah it was probably pass interference BUT not right now because its the end of the game. Its bull****, and results in another controversial finish.

Where did boyce go? he was looking good and then he was out of the game.

The defense needed to hold them to a field goal, that last touchdown was a back breaker. Cant expect brady to drive the field in 60 seconds every single week.

Rough loss,

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Let's not either get too high or too low...they played ok and are playing as well as can be expected. This team, even though they may not want to hear it, are a banged up team. They are holding their own. They get another shot at the division next week in what will be a tough game.

They are in this thing and that is a good thing.


Back to work on tmr, 2 big games coming up...

 

[JackBauer]

I watched the game.

He dropped an easy TD in the endzone.

Choker. Great contract.

Take a step back from the keyboard. You're overreacting.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

The Ghost did not help our cause in this game.

Yes, life would have been easier if he had made that earlier kick, but he has no control over where he kicks from, and a 48-yarder is only about a 70% proposition.

 

[DaBruinz]

The Ghost did not help our cause in this game.

You mean the FG that passed over the top of the goal post? The one that was called a FG twice last year against the Patriots, but has yet to be called one for them.. Yep. Such a bad miss
