Game #2: Patriots vs Dolphins 9/15/2019

[Oldschool739]

To be honest...
I was thinking Gordon, Dorsett, SB MVP, Meyers....in no particular order...

Well NE pretty much makes playmakers at wr, we on the other hand have been putrid in the department....Hollywood is looking like our first....Probably because Ozzie didn't pick him...lol

Watched the Miami/Ravens game last night.
Miami gave some resistance to running but none to the pass.
Hollywood loked very good - exciting player - but it was too easy.......

That's my thoughts also....Too easy, even the run..Ingram popped a big one on them one of the first plays of the game...LJ looked good against them but we'll see when he hits some good teams and coaches have studied this film...If he can keep it going, heck I'll become a Buckwheat fan...I am impressed with Hollywood, if he gets behind even good teams DB's he can get us 7.....

This needs to be book marked. Just not sure why it's on the NE board?

I think Southie mentioned me in a post I responded on there....
But "if" is the common denominator to that statement....I really don't think he is that good, but if he proves to be all that, I'll give him his props....Even though I'm a racist ...

The Pats need to be up big at half time. 20+. The heat is what gets to them. That should be a big enough cushion. It will be close.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Always close down there.

This is one of the games I hate going in.

NE could curb stomp the current dysfunctional Dolphins.

They could however lose like they did last year.

NE favored -18.5 who's taking the Pats.

I'm in two pools. The first is a confidence pool. That was easy I put 16 on NE.

The other is by the spread. Right now it's -18.5 and I have Miami.

I also have quite a bit invested in my FFL for this one. I have Brady, NE D and Drake as my #2RB.

Jakobi Meyers my sleeper on the bench.

The Dolphins ownership has decided to pull and Indy and go for the #1 in the 2020 draft. They've also been stockpiling picks. What we're witnessing is HC Brian Flores purging the Dolphins of veteran players and starting the rebuilding process and from here it appears that they will continue to trade away any player 30+ years or older and any late 20's players who are marginally good. 2020 will be a huge burden with a team of players all under 25 but in 2021they will be on an upward tick. Flores has a five year contract and the ownership more than likely made it clear what they intended to do and Flores agreed to be the pin cushion.

This is a frustrated team and right now no one is sure where they stand on the prefernce scale. Some will play their asses off while other will play not to get hurt.

Dolphins tend to be a trap game, but traps don't usually happen back to back.

These teams need to revisit what BB did in 2000 and 2001. He didn't purge veteran leadership, he seeked it out. What's scary is exactly how many time the Pats have been rebuilt since 2000 without showing nary a sign of it.

 

[Southieinnc]

We have not been run blocking well.
We could probably win by 40 if we passed every play.
Because we are going to run the ball all day, the score may not be as uneven as expected.

Maybe, just maybe the Oline gets it's act together. If it does, it won't be pretty.

Patriots 21-3 or Patriots 59 - 3, go figure.....

[NWPATSFAN]

Nice start on both sides of the ball.

Not sure what was up with the play calling on NEs 2nd possession? Wynn in the tent so wanted to keep TB upright?

I think they are trying to figure out how to get Michel going with having Gronk there to open holes for him...

 

[WWEFAN1985]

Of course he misses after Miami purposely calls a timeout.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I can see G-ski being gone before seasons end.

Honestly I can’t didn’t they sign him not that long ago to an extension?

He's signed through next season. Doesn't matter he's becoming a liability. BB won't take him into the playoffs being this inconsistent IMHO.

But if they do decide to release him who are they gonna replace him with?

 

[SDGuy73]

Wynn is out with a foot injury.
