Was it a slight overthrow? or was the WR just a hair slower than Mac is used too?

When you previously had a Waddle and a Devonte Smith to throw a pass at, I would say that you might be a bit more inclined to release the ball to a point where those guys could easily trot, not run to get it.

If Bolden had moved one step to his left and not reached for the ball, there would not have been a pick six. The other problem is that the Pats' WRs are not inclined to do much self thinking. When Mac can't find an open man, they tend to stop and stay in their assigned areas and not try to stick up a hand and run somewhere else. Not lazy, just not very creative or self trusting.

The quality of this group of WR is not good. For some reason, BB will not keep Wilkerson on the 53 man roster and he's the most creative WR on the team. He's also the fastest. Then again, I don't see him every day in practice.

I've heard he is good in practice. I'm thinking the team doesn't think he has a good enough handle on the offense to contribute this year?
We keep protecting him though.....
Speaking of "no handle on the offense" this has been a grand year for Harry!

Bring your own syrup...

I ate at one.

Once.

It's a greasy spoon breakfast diner.... No more, no less. Greasy spoons are fine as long as that's what you are expecting. As with everything else, expecting more will only disappoint.

I'm pretty sure that ain't in the "Waffle House Operator's Manual"... I'll agree nobody should go to that one.

I've been to 49 states. You only got to waffle House drunk at 2:00 AM.
The exception is if your are an old, drunk, smoker and like the ambiance!

So... because Mac Jones throws a pick 6. JC Jackson blows the coverage on Waddles TD. Bad Center to QB exchange. Boldens horrible penalty. Several other dumb penalties..... means the Coaches didn't get them ready??? Okay..... this isn't Pop Warner Pee Wee league football players. They know the rules. They know what their jobs are. The PLAYERS MADE BAD PLAYS or got out played by the opponent. Nothing the coaches can do about that.

I don't understand why Onwenu played only 29% of the snaps - even with Wynn out of the game?
Is he in the doghouse?
He is the arguably the best player on the O-line.....

I've only been to about 36 states and have only been to them during road trips after a long drive or hitting the road to start a day of long driving...

 

[sharkymcwrath]

Anybody else surprised Flores got shitcanned after yesterdays man-handling of the Patriots?

Surprised? With Ross still the owner? Um, no

I feel like he deserved at least one more season before even considering moving on.

The Dolphins are back to being the Dolphins so I guess that's good anyway. Two wins for the Pats next season.

Absentee ownership directly contributes to weird outcomes, like the firing of Brian Flores

The Dolphins have struggled in recent years to find any real flow or rhythm. A big part of the problem is that the owner of the team doesn’t spend nearly enough time in the building to assess how or where or why things are going. Stephen Ross lives and works in New York. He’s one [more]

It's worse than a greasy spoon diner.
It's a greasy spoon diner chain.

You'll find me down the street at Cracker Barrel waiting an extra 10 minutes for my buttermilk pancakes and fried eggs.

Yes, I just read it a few minutes ago.

He'll land on his feet though.

They said yesterday on the broadcast that this was the first time since 2002 that they had consecutive winning seasons.
So they fired Flores...?

....and the Cracker Barrel is manufactured food cooked by "chefs" using "the process"...

Don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion about the wh and am in no way portraying it better than it is.. I can't stand that they pour their waffles and pancakes from a packaged carton. I'm just saying it is what it is and it works for a very simple quick fix on the road.

Completely understand.
To start, Cracker Barrels are cleaner.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Say Coach B were to hang it up after this season. Would you want Skippy or maybe Flores as his replacement? Who else out there would be a consideration?
