Post Game Thread- Dolphins beat the Pats

[Ross12]

This board didn’t fall apart on one bad @Ross12 post. It took several bad ones to get here. Gotta make those post and today we didn’t.

My post is the tripping Gronk in the total sum of a Patriots board meltdown

I’m still pissed

SIX points in the second half.

Agreed.

And yet, it's still the defense that lost the game.

 

[Ross12]

Nope. I quoted ross post saying i disagree with his presumption that some of us cant over react without it being our sole reason for ****ing existence.

I wont apologize to him and I assume he wasnt offended because frankly, it's not a God damn big deal.

No, I don’t care dude. You don’t need to apologize. Didn’t mean to offend you or anyone.

 

[WhoaDirty]

lol so you're putting words in my mouth now and not reading what I said? STFU man. Just stfu.

And maybe learn what the word literally actually means.

I straight up quoted you, how is that putting words in your mouth??

I hope you understand that "We should have won easily" means the exact same thing as "The game should have been easy to win"?

2 point conversion would have had us at 35 so would have been a tie

Oh right! My bad!

Use it and do some workout. Channel it into something productive..

Crapstatic loss. I can’t think of a regular season loss that ended like that to be honest. Maybe the one in 04 in the same building.

There were a few losses in 2015 that felt similarly wtf-ish in the moment to me, but none ended in such inexplicable, absurd fashion so you're probably right

 

[ivanvamp]

Gronk instead of Melifonwu? I don’t get it.

Or Devin McCourty. He wasn't on the field on that last play either. Inexplicable decision to have Gronk out there on what couldn't possibly have been a Hail Mary play.

 

[luuked]

Agreed.

Not really.

Let’s see how they respond.

Historically, it’s the worst loss since before the 1970 merger. No team has given up a 69 yard winning TD with no time on the click since then. So yeah, the Pats made history.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

The key to this season and to making a run in the postseason will be the offense being able to play more than 2 quarters of great football. The defense is what it is and will not win you a game but if the offense can play up to the talent level it has also not solely lose you one.

The offense put up 33 points, really 37 with the 4 that ghost left on the field. Hard to ask more than that (aside from brady’s awful decision to end the first half).

Do you enjoy being illiterate?

It’s happened many times before.

We did not have the game on here - just brought myself to view the final play. That was one big clusterf**k. Miami did not even run a decent play. The 2 laterals were in the same direction. Everyone on the defense looked clueless. No way that play design should have come close to working.

No it really is not hard to ask for more than 6 points in 30 minutes of football. Not with all that talent on offense.

This will be the highlight of the week and I will never hear the end of it from phin fans.

 

[moejr]

I had us going 12-4 or 11-5 at the beginning of the season. Hope I am wrong about 11-5

I agree the Pats still have a chance at getting a bye going into the playoffs. Is that scenario likely to happen? I don't think so. The Jekyl and Hyde defense is scary and will probably be exposed in the playoffs. In the past, the Pats could come up with a big play on defense or a TD to break open a close game but that has not always been the case this year. I was shocked when BB didn't go after defensive players early in the draft (like a run stuffing DT or a quick LB). Shelton is obviously not the answer to the first draft need. Injuries have also hurt. I would love to have had Hill available for runs up the gut in the red zone, where there is no one now. Also, losing Bentley hurt a lot more than I thought it would. Hightower is slowing down and the pass rush has become a joke, and will get even worse if BB can't re sign Flowers. There are so many holes that retooling will probably be a multi-year task. We Pats fans should be thankful for the long streak of excellence produced by the team but there may be a few lean years before the Pats get back to the SB and, when they do, there will probably be a new QB and head coach.

Your point being ? They get a pass for scoring only two field goals in 30 minutes because in the past this was enough to win games ?
