The official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

Can you believe that BB DRAFTED Gostkowski in the 4th round?!!

Still, a mediocre kicker was by far his best pick in 06, lol.

Well the second half play cant be worse then the first half right? A quick score will change everything.

When it rains it pours.. 4 OL Starters OUT. Not sure how ANY offense can do that..

Pats need to go hurry-up to start the 2nd half..

And on a final note, I hope the moron officials figure out that when a ball is uncatchable (be it too high over the head of the receiver or the receiver is running away from the ball) Pass Interference is NOT the right call.

And I think it's time to get rid of Ghostkowski, we can pay a kicker 1/10th of what he makes to be an average kicker

No doubt. No doubt!

Brady looks terrible, the line sucks, the secondary sucks, Matt Moore is torching the PAtriots secondary....how on earth do some people think this team's gonna turn it around in the second half????

God I hope they make some adjustments on offense cause im sick of seeing the same **** on every series. Its messed up when I know what they are going to do before they even line up.

On the bright side, at least this is not a playoff game.

You DO realize the ball travels better in the cold right?

I've been told that stats are for losers, but here are the stats anyway (as I type):

First Downs
Mia - 12
NE - 5

Passing
Mia - 10-19, 179 yds, 2 td, 0 int
NE - 7-19, 87 yds, 0 td, 0 int

Rushing
Mia - 20 rushes, 83 yds
NE - 9 rushes, 33 yds

Time of Possession
Mia - 19:04
NE - 10:56

Absolutely brutal first half performance. Even when they do something right (the long pass to Branch at the end of the half) they do something wrong (utterly incomprehensibly stupid of Branch to not go out of bounds).

So far so crappy. Got some linemen missing today which really shows. I'm wondering what kind of blocking scheme they come out with in the 2nd half?

Defense is getting mangled right now. Man for man their WR's are better than our secondary. The outside pressure has been good for the defense but need more inside push so he can't scramble away like he has. Right now I think we need to see more stunts and blitzes and just sell out if we can't score in our first possesion of the 2nd half.

I think we can pull this one out if the right adjustments are made and the team comes out fired up.

The stupidity has spread to Deion Branch. What the hell is wrong with this team. And why not try another out pattern with 8 seconds???? This team and coaches are a ****ing mess right now. Inexcusable.

Clearly you are drunk because I can't fathom another reason for your blathering on Gostkowski.

A 50 yarder in the COLD is not an easy kick. You thinking otherwise is just you being ignorant.

Tell the O-line that:

1- They'll be fined their weeks wages,

and

2- They will be in tomorrow watching game tape instead of eating Christmas dinner.

This just shows how VITAL the OL is to any quarterbacks success (ESPECIALLY brady).

It is funny because everyone was dissing on aaron rodgers during the chiefs game, stating how he cannot do anything when his starters are missing and he is overrated etc etc.... he was missing half his OL and he fared MUCH better than brady has thus far.

Yeah i can i can also believe it must be tough to watch a team go 42 years without winning anything.

Gost has been stinking the joint up all year.

I'm dreading the media Monday after this debacle is over...Felger and Massarotti will be in their glory....dbags....

Honestly, I prefer a stinker now than in 3 weeks when the divisional rounds start..

on a positive note - Sergio Brown actually had a productive safety play/help on a long pass

Nah, nice try but not a Jets fan. I'm always rooting against the Jets on these game threats.
