I'm having difficulty processing the fact that if the Patriots had managed not to self-destruct just one time in the prior 2 games, we would have clinched a playoff spot before the last weekend.

If the refs actually blew the whistle for forward progress.

Yes, that sack on fourth and whatever was epic clutch

Your tears are delicious. They will keep me hydrated for the rest of the week.

Give them credit for handling a number of injuries and hanging tough. The same can be said for the Dolphins, so this was a nice win today.

2 Tds and a field goal by the offense is not good enough. Offense looked terrible for 70% of the game.

Things I never want to see
Screens to myers

Yes, that’s why they lost right?

Sucks to suck Miami. 5 straight losses

LOL, I think @One-If-By-Sea called it ahead of this one.

 

[sb1]

8-3 to 8-8 and near elimination. That’s quite a collapse

Playoffs start in 7 days

I’m not encouraged at all given the lack of progression on offense although there has been an incremental improvement from Mac recently.

Still I’m happy that we are playing meaningful football all the way to the end of the regular season. Wasn’t so sure after the lateral disaster.

Great win Pats!
Love seeing the Dolphins lose.

Any chance Buffalo rests their starters next week? Probably not since the Queefs held on today.

It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. Great job by the defense!!!! We win next week and we're in the playoffs!!!!

That's all we can ask for. Offense needs to improve, punting needs to improve and we need to stop making special teams mistakes.

This team doesn't quit though!!!!

Hopefully we can get a little healthier this week. It's nice to start the New Year with a win.

Let's discuss!!!!!!

Despite what some others posters have said,I think you need more exclamation
points

Bye bye Dolphins

Glad that the Dolphins could contribute to BB's pursuit of Shula.

Still felt doubtful of the outcome even with only 2 kneeldowns to be executed.

Mac was decent . Offensive Playcalling left lot to be desired. Stupid screens to Meyers needs to be eliminated. If you wanna do screens do to Jonnu or Bourne or Marcus Jones . Nobody else .

I’m laughing. Win. And a lot of disappointed negative Nancy so-called fans.

A lot of them if the GDT is any judge.

I am pleasantly surprised by the win. Very happy the defense was able to step up and take control of the game in the 2nd half.
I'll say that I was flumoxed that Miami didn't have a bigger lead by the 2nd half. I thought for sure that they'd have a double digit lead with the issues the Pats have at CB and facing the likes of Waddle and Hill. Even with Bridgewater in there.

Kyle Dugger almost went from hero to goat. He's the one who gave up the TD to Gisecki.

Like many, I didn't understand the Pats NOT going for the FG late in the 4th. Even a miss would have meant worse field position for Miami than a 10 yard sack on a play where Onwenu got owned. but wasn't helped by Mac rolling to that side allowing the defender to slip Onwenu easily.
