I cannot believe they OVERTURNED that touchdown to wallace. I can see calling it as it stands on the field, but no way was there indisputable evidence he had possesion.
 
Or they could just put Revis/Browner with Safety on him... But hey
Then who do you put on Landry? Who do you put on Clay? You're idea is to have 3 bad match-ups?
 
Anyone else sick of these nomore.org commercials?
 
Reading the last few pages you'd think the Dolphins were 30 points up!
 
Somebody wake Pats Up tell'm what's at stake here. Whats with play calling, no Blount running from git'go and Gronk with NO catches yet?
 
Yes, because Belichick told McDaniels to do whatever he wanted. And the Dolphins were getting the ball back with 20 something seconds with no time outs. The draw plays were not the problem here. The fact that the punt coverage sucked only slightly worse than Butler's coverage on Wallace.
Meh. If you're trying to defend those three straight draws, not sure what to tell you. Might as well have taken 3 knees at that point. Passive and "playing-not-to-lose" strategy to end the half.
 
Kiss homefield goodbye. 2nd straight year at the hands of miami because McDaniels doesn't want to establish the run and for some reason refuse to give Gray a shot. But ya keep lining up in shotgun and handing off to Vereen because that has worked out so well this year.

The Vereen TD is because of Gronk and Vereen's quickness, not the playing calling.
Dude...we have the lead. just get our heads out of our asses and we will win.
 
They, the Pats, better get things going and win this game. Buffalo isn't easy picking it's 10-10 against GB. Jets always wants to rise to the occasion when playing the Pats. Get aggressive Pats.

Yeah, I didn't understand the thoughts on the "easy" schedule for the last 3 games. In my opinion, divisional games are always tough no matter what the record is.

Not saying that they shouldn't win, but I think a lot of us are looking ahead. Hopefully the players are not making the same mistake.
 
Put the blame on the offense where the blame belongs - On Brady. Brady has been awful this game and it isn't McDaniels' fault for that. Brady is letting his balls get batted because he is staring down receivers and his passes are off when he does get the ball beyond the line of scrimmage. I blame Brady for the offense today.

Oh, I agree. The failings have generally all been related to execution, and this has certainly been Brady at his absolute worst. Just saying if you're going to blame McDaniels for something...the final series is where I'd direct my ire.
 
Overall, the o-line has not been that bad. The reason why Brady has had so many balls batted at the line is because the o-line is keeping the d-line at bay.

The play calling hasn't been great, but Brady has been awful. So has most of the execution on both sides of the ball at least at times.
When a team can't run or pass and they have no time for either the o line is to blame.

Brady is playing awful, but the o line is equally as bad.
 
Terrible half of football and we are still up by 1 point. I'll take it, but we gotta turn up the heat.
 
But is he as well known as Wallace in this league. He is the third receiver behind Wallace and Hartline.
What freaking difference does it make who 'is well known in the league'??
 
I didn't see the block in the back. But Butler was burnt on the TD even if it was a great catch.


I can't BELIEVE the defensive play calling on that play.. They should have had 3 deep safeties to protect the big play... instead, they had SINGLE HIGH SAFETY covering the entire deep part of the field and McCourty was late to get over and help BUTLER who was ONE ON ONE with MIKE WALLACE...


WHAT THE HELL!?!?!
 
No, he's not. This shows that you don't know the opposition. Landry is their #2.. He's passed Hartline.
Okay fair enough. I really didn't know the opposition. I didn't care about the fish at all. It's not like I would go and look at the depth chart of a team that I don't care for.
 
The Patriots can't choke the #1 seed to Miami AGAIN. Tom and the offense just aren't getting it done right now. Those draws at the end of the half are pathetic. Stop defending McDaniels when he deserves to be criticized. We can't run because the O-Line is playing terribly. That's not on MCD. Running the ball KNOWING you can't run is extremely on him.

LOL! Some McDaniels bashers are killing him for not running the ball enough and you are killing him for running the ball.
 
Kiss homefield goodbye. 2nd straight year at the hands of miami because McDaniels doesn't want to establish the run and for some reason refuses to give Gray a shot. But ya keep lining up in shotgun and handing off to Vereen because that has worked out so well this year. And no shotgun handoff to Vereen is not establishing the run game.

The Vereen TD is because of Gronk and Vereen's quickness, not the playing calling.


Game over yet bud?
 
Vereen is getting snaps because there are no lanes up front on the plays. He's the only guy on they have who can bounce it outside or hit the backside cutback. The line is having an awful game.
 
Come out 2nd half with ball with some urgency get a TD.
 
That first half was gutless football.

Offense has had no positive impact whatsoever. An interception to Miami's 10 is the only reason this team has a one-point lead.

Tipped balls and Vereen draws are the story of the game so far.
