Game #1 NE Patriots v Miami Dolphins 9/11/2022 1:00 PM CBS

[Dude]

We lost the game in the 2nd quarter.
Coming back in the Miami heat was not an ideal situation - doing it when the offense kept giving the ball back was impossible

Yes, only allowed 3 points in 2nd half. What killed us early was that INT on first drive, which on replay does look like holding the jersey. And then that stupid Defensive offsides. Can’t remember if it led to points, but it was exactly what the Pats used to never do. It sort of established the tone that there would be more mistakes to follow.

The suspected OC is the the OL coach.

This is true and yes the D seemed slightly better and then back to the bend but don't break... Which works against certain players and teams.. I'd take what they did to Hill (no way they would completely shut him out)

Good read!

Even during championship seasons, the Pats had at least one game that they should win easily and get owned. If the next few games are the same as the Bears game, then we have a major problem. No OC or DC, IMHO, may be part of it.

The defense looked totally unprepared for Fields. They'd almost get to him then have zero containment.

They were so fucking close so many times but just couldn't seal the deal. It was painful.

And Fields took full advantage of all of them.

Exactly, players going for the glory of a sack instead of just containing him. Hell, they made Fields look like he was a legit QB. I'm still disgusted in how they played the worst offense in the league.
