The Official Patriots at Miami Dolphins Week One Game Thread

Have to question the Kelly move....

Kudos to Miami. They adjusted to what the Pats were doing. The Pats on the other hand didn't adjust to what Miami was doing in the second half. I wonder who is at fault for that?

Somebody will take the bait & turn this into a #Mankins thing. I rewatched the line pressures. Lotta 1-on-1's lost unrelated to anything LM

Chatham's talking out of his ass, and I'm sure he knows it.

Are you talking about on the Patriot's 3rd down? I was looking for a flag too.

Yup that was what I was talking about. What a disappointing game! Poor taclking, poor o-line blocking. And when they were Brady/receivers not in sync or bad throw.

Changing my profile picture to Christian Hackenberg. Brady is to old and Bil is to outdated.

Some of them are fans taking this way too hard.

A few, including @Bhelmet, are trolls who deserve to be banned.

No, put his performance today had nothing to do with age.

It does have to do with talent erosion, I seriously think it's time. Manning behind this terrible line makes the game closer

Maybe...Maybe not... I think it's too early to say either way.

Come on Luck, spank Peyton in Denver tonight.

We got the 19-0 monkey off our backs. I smell SB win #4.

Bill, please trade 2nd rounder for a competent o-lineman

PLEASE

Our D is still as pathetic as ever and TB is back on the everything gets thrown to Gronk wagon. Not too surprised as we did nothing to get TB another legit receiver. We're 0-1 and well the last time that happened we won the SB so we can look at it that way.

What good is a deep threat if he cant throw the deep ball accurately anymore?

It's not even an accuracy issue. It's a pathetic arm strength issue. You can see it on the out routes as well. He is diminishing rapidly, and a second round pick on a QB was a result of that. Unfortunately, that pick won't help a D that couldn't slow down the Dolphins.

He's 37 and not getting younger. Manning is the exception playing well in late 30's the rule

You are the worst poster ever. Like, Manning into his 30's worst.

Let's put it this way: If the Dophins hadn't gifted the Pats the first half this would have been an epic blowout. The team has a lot of work to do to get competitive. This loss should put high expectations on the back burner for a while. In no phase of the game did the team excel. In no phase of the game did anyone stand out. In fact, in most, if not all, phases of the game, the team was woefully sub par.

On the other hand, there is nowhere to go but up.

Bhelmet is just some loser. He can go and take the idiot iapatriots with him. Free Ted Williamns is still an idiot too. I am sure I will have some more shortly.

I'm more concerned about the teams in our division after this one.

I think it is safe to say that Kelly and Mankins are better than the player we had on the field today, but they are young players so it is possible they could be better by the end of the year when it matters. I would hold off on concluding if personnel decisions were poor or not for at least 5-6 more weeks. See how things play out.

Has anyone else had technical issues with today's game thread?
