Patriots Pregame Thread Week 12: 3-8 Patriots at 4-6 Dolphins (-7½)

[PatsFan2]

We haven't had a WR put up a 100yds receiving in a game all season...any week now.

We haven't had a WR put up a 100yds receiving in a game since December 2022...any week now.

FIFY.

Pats have only gotten 100+ yard receiving games 7 times since 2020. Meyers has three of them.

Brother, Drake have to do everything himself. Baker can't even get in the offense Marcus has more snaps on offense then baker does.

Baker has Six Games remaining: we know Polk will be just about Inactive the rest of the way. So if Baker doesn't show some of what he did in TC I'm talking about the good things... his time here will be very short.

That is what's puzzling.. Polk was the best WR all training camp and we couldn't understand why he's not with the first team offense In the pre season games..

Baker has all the tools you want in a WR.. I don't understand what exactly it is that he can't see time over inactive players. I don't want to write them off because they are rookies.. I want them both to show something the rest of the season.

I see they are giving Rookie TE Jaheim Bell some run he has talent: former RB and all he could be a Deebo type for us at TE with Drake next year.

I like that idea.. I want my guy gibby to start being utilized correctly or I'm sure he will want out.. I really like bell.

Shutting Polk down might be a good thing it's mental with him now. Let him get a fresh start next year...that said I all for Higgins and Diggs in FA: imagine those two with Maye.

I see your point. I was just thinking about he and Drake having that on field connection to have going into next season.. but wow diggs and Higgins.. Diggs may want to go back to H town you think?

Polk and Baker both need to work their @sses off this Offseason: their NFL futures depends on it.

Finally it seems like Kendrick Bourne is back his last two games were encouraging.

 

[Thelonious]

I think the talent gap will tell the tale, and we do not have a head coach who has the knowledge or imagination to do anything by way of compensation.

I agree. They both from what I heard are hard working guys i haven't heard anything about thier work ethics.. baker it's maturity issues.. wich it's pretty much expected from rookies..

Dugger was a major liability last week. Let's hope he's gotten his legs under him, or the staff realizes that Hawkins is better in coverage (or maybe overall, dare I say?) Hawkins has seemed to have better chemistry in a team D than Dugger - who's always been inconsistent and a freelancer.

Mia had Huntley 7 weeks ago, but we had Brissett - so hopefully the edge goes to Maye over Tua.
Rham ran pretty well against them - with a worse OL. And Bourne had his first few snaps in 1 year.
If we can get some pressure on their D with Pop & Marcus using some speed, it could keep it competitive.

But our D has become THE flaw in this years team - who knew?

I'm having a hard time imagining us keeping this within even two scores much less one. Dumb penalties did us in last week: if we can't play a clean game against Miami this one will be over very early. I know Maye is a gamer but he can't do it by himself: we need a player or two on Offense to step up. It would be nice if we could get a Turn over on D I forgot what those look like.

Rejuvenated Waddle, Smith, Achane, Smith, hill, all = speed. DC of the year covington will devise a masterful game plan.. gonzo on Smith, dugger on hill and Marcus Hobbs on Waddle.. this game will be over in the first quarter.. the couldn't even stop the Miami back up QB.
