Official Post Game Thread -Pats @ Dolphins

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

IMO, Tom looked sick. That’s just my take. Several guys in the locker room were sick this week so it’s a real possibility. Gillislee was inactive due to illness.

I am not buying it. I just think he sucked tonight and also i wonder about that achilles. Wouldn't shock me if Pittsburgh doesn't comeup with some blitz packages.

 

[Ring 6]

Good point. Too bad the team won’t elaborate.

Why would they?

 

[luuked]

Scary part is, if we lose to Pitt and Jacksonville wins out, we won’t be getting a bye.

Not good.

What is scary about that ? Nobody in the AFC playoffs has a better overall team than we do. I guess it is panic time again for some people here for no reason at all.

 

[supafly]

Hopefully the Richards whiff isn’t the equivalent of the Harper fumble.

That’s pretty much where we lost the game, right there.

 

[catent]

... maybe Brady just had a bad game?

Or is that not sufficiently savory speculation?

 

[PatsWSB47]

I have hope. This loss doesn't define them, but Brady is 40 and if he takes too many hits it won't be well.

If Brady played like Brady today, I think we have a shot. I think he underthrew and overthrew many times if I remember right.

Brady played like Brady does in Miami a good part of the time

Pittsburgh is going to hurt this team next week, and if by some miracle we make it to the SB the NFC is gonna clean our plates.

Should have franchised Jimmy as insurance.

Damn. I think you just won @KontradictioN 's ****ty post of the year competition.

Looked like preseason game #4 (w Brady accidentally starting and blending in): slug-huddle, off timing, vanilla .. commentators struggling w names of players..

Please do that and watch how we totally shred their garbage defense.

That was a complete dumpster fire that was painful to watch. The only guy who seems to have shown up was Ryan Allen.

Oh well, we're onto ****sburgh.

 

[Ross12]

No reason we shouldn’t win out and be the 1 seed. Ultimately this game will be meaningless.

That’s what I find silly. People freaking out over a game that’s ultimately meaningless. Half the team is hurt or sick. Perhaps NE knew the game was meaningless and didn’t play like the season counted on a win (since it doesn’t at all). Play hard but try to get out healthy, reload for the important one next week.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Brady is almost certainly injured. He elected to spend much of the weak receiving treatment, presumably for his Achilles. There is no drive into the ball and much less velocity than usual. Sorry to state the obvious, but that that was not the Tom Brady we are used to seeing.

Well it won't get any better. That's gonna be an issue.

 

[luuked]

What a bunch of crap. We lost the game through the entire 60 minutes and not on one damn play. This brainless scapegoating of individuals has to stop when the entire team lays an egg.

There isn’t no need to create excuses. They got beaten. Good teams play bad games. Good teams make corrections and don’t strung together bad games.
They will be fine.

[bormio]

If Brady is hurt, they should not be taking him off the injury report every week which they have been doing. I think he looked like most of the energy was gone all night.

Something was up today. I don't want to overreact. We are 10-3 and if we win out then we still lock up #1 seed. Brady looked very odd tonight though. Injured or sick or I don't know.

I say we win out, but if Brady looks like this next week then its not just a bad game.

 

[juny]

Offensive line was terrible
WRs could not get open at all
Defense missed flowers and van noy badly

This is the once a season WTF games the pats have losing to an inferior team

How's it meaningless? Had they won they wouldn't have to win out. Now they have to win out.

Damn. I think you just won @KontradictioN 's ****ty post of the year competition.

Avocados Gronk is in serious decline and plays like a 75 yr old grandma should also be in contention.
