Dolphins @ Patriots discussion.

[BradPittsEvilTwin]

Texans and Titans D isn't chopped liver either

Um... yes they are. The Texans are especially horrid.

 

[Manster7588]

What's the spread? I'll take NE.

The D isn't bad it's the offense that kills them on the field too long.

Haven't seen it yet. If I had to guess...NE -8

 

[FlyerFinFan]

If you want to go there who have the pats D played against lately?

Either way, running up points on them is not difficult.

1. I'm not claiming the Pats have an elite D. They are good, improving and getting the job done.
2. The Pats D is superior to either Houston or Tennessee.
3. 6-0 is 6-0. The D works well enough to win. 20ppg is top 10.
4. They figure out how to stop the opponents best weapon. Today the Jets figured to run wild... they didn't. Force Fitz to beat you... he didn't.

3 weeks ago they couldn't score 16 on a high school team...its progress.

I think after fattening up on AFC South giblets for 2 weeks the Dolphins might find the Patriots a tougher bird.

Not that Miami doesn't look better.

I think the edge in coaching and QB will be the difference. They patched together something of an offense line against one of the better front lines in the league, ran for 16 yards and threw against a 50 million secondary over 50 times and got a win. They are a well coached team.

I agree. I'm just disputing the notion that either Tenn or Hou has a defense that would be considered good (or even average). They are below average and horrible respectively.

But I absolutely agree that Miami has made great strides since Campbell took over.

I'm not so sure give those D's the pats offense playing with a lead not so difficult.

No doubt

Well yeah. The Patriots offense is clearly the best in the league every year. They are open to changing the gameplan to win games. One week the are powering running out of I formation and 3 TE formations. The next, they are spread out with 3 and 4 WRs. It's quite a sight to see.

Are you really arguing that the Texans, who gave up 4 TD's over 50+ yards today alone, are equal to or better than the Patriots D??? Really????

No just saying they aren't as bad as their stats give them an offense and the Texans aren’t a horrible team.

All undefeated teams must eventually fall! Except for the 72 Dolphins of course. The ultimate anomaly. This will be where the Patriots slip up!

I agree at some point the Pats will lose a game, but I don't think it'll be at their house. With the way their playing I see an 8-0 record at home.

Not this year!

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Not this year!

I like your confidence! I don't have a horse in this race so i'm hoping for an entertaining game. Best of luck to both teams.
