I don't care what those talking head douchebags think but I am glad that BB had the Pats down in Miami sooner then they normally are.

 

[redseat]

I was in Alaska at 75 below, several months after being in Needls at 124 above.
Never had a problem with either after the initial shock!

Practice today was at Div. II Central Atlantic University.

25 Minute ride from the hotel.

Mo media interviews because they were beside an airport and the transmissions could affect air traffic.

BB moved the practice an hour earlier due to severe weather predicted.

BB ordered the team in shorts/tee shirts and helmets.

According to reports on 98.5, Felger & Mazz, the main focus of the entire two and half hour practice was third down efficiency on offense
and third down mixed coverage and five and six man blitzes on defense.

According to reports, players said that the field wasn't bad. Every player said that have played on worse. Media appears depressed because players are saying that anything the coaches to help them win is fine with them.

Several Miami reporters expressed concern about how rough the Pats defense was without pads against their own offense.. What does that say? They're worried about how hard the Patriots will hit the Dolphins when they put on the pads??

BigKen doesn't agree with the experts on two of three.

Bills have not played well on the road over the past three years and one had to wonder how McDermott will magically change that, especially against the Champs in game one. Rams 38 Bills 20.

Bills looked better than advertised. Definitely the team to beat in the AFC.

Or the Rams looked like crap.

Rams read too much about themselves and certainly didn't look like they are ready to defend anything.

Bills looked good and Allen looked like he's ready to go. Like I've said for the past two years, "You have to get to Josh Allen right away and make him get rid of the ball as soon as he thinks he's under pressure." I'll give the Bills credit for doing exactly what they wanted to do and give the Rams zero credit for even showing up.

Or the Rams looked like crap.

I don't know. There were times last night that the Bills offense looked eerily similar to last years playoff game against the Pats. They just kept moving the chains at will.

If Kupp were to ever go down the Rams would be in serious trouble. 3rd and whatever you know where the ball is going.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Once again... the Bills didn't punt the ball one time.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Once again... the Bills didn't punt the ball one time.

For obvious reasons. They attempted to change the position to rapist.

Man.... I already forgot about the "Punt God".

Isiah Wynn practiced today and said he plans to play RT on Sunday. Looks like someone apologized to Bill.

 

[BigKen]

Report from practice today. Appears that Mac Jones ran close to 50% RPO today. 80% of the snaps were in the Shotgun and half of those were 'hurry-up'..

Man.... I already forgot about the "Punt God".

That's kinda crazy shit. I'd like to believe the guy is innocent but man o man it seems not.

You've eluded to this several times now. What did Wynn do? I haven't seen or heard anything.

He took the last wing and BB hadn't eaten yet

 

[cheerupcharlie]

He took the last wing and BB hadn't eaten yet

Well shit. BB had every damn right to punish his fat ass!

 

[cheerupcharlie]

I'm starting to get excited! Let's kick some Dolphins ass!

 

[NWPATSFAN]

6 hours and counting.

LFG

 

[BigKen]

FYI

NE has lost 4 of their last five games in Miami. Tried to watch a new program on NMBC Sports Boston that will be on every Sunday at 7:00 am called "Game Plan". A portion of it Wilfork's Words. He's lost about 125 lbs and looks good. Program is more blah, blah, blah.

Hopefully this game will be half as exciting as the Alabama/Texas game yesterday.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to play in Week 1 against the Dolphins.​

Meyers got in three limited practices this week, so he should be able to play on a full snap-count to open the year. He led the Patriots with 83 catches for 866 yards in 2021, though he only found the end zone two times. With DeVante Parker in the fold, Meyers' target share could take a hit. Combined with his lack of touchdown output, Meyers enters Week 1 as a WR4 fantasy option.
