No chance especially with the oline playing for the other team, Gase and Burke geniuses... ok may 5% chance because patsies lose their minds in Miami every year...

Injuries are definitely bad on interior of the oline they were bitch slapped by buffalo. WR's lost all speed but Butler wasn't bad last game made his plays.

Refs against patsies always questionable... but at least it's in Miami so should be ok I hope! When in NE strange shit always happens...

The Fins have a chance in this game. I am not going to blame the refs before the game starts. In Gillette early holding penalties against the Fins took the Fins out of the game before it really got started. The game on Sunday could be different.

The Fins Dline has to get pressure on Brady even at the risk of drawing penalties for touching him.

Todays NFL is very different than the past. I think with so much protection for QB's it's silly to compare records with former QBs who weren't protected as well by the refs.

When Fins fans seem like whiners about penalties just remember that there was no flag when Tannehill got hit on the knee with a career altering injury. The refs need to just be consistent with protecting other players other than the star QB's.

This would be a good game for the Fins to play well. It would reward the Fins fans that are enduring another mediocre season. I was at the game last year when the Fins won. It was a great day for the Fins and their fans.

Patriots are legitimate.....
Legitimate cheaters haha! Plus most patsies are illegitimate and you know it ha! Just kidding will be an interesting game although X being out hurts he's playing high end right now. We'll see if Gase also continues passing 25+ yards down the field out of shotgun on 3rd and inches... stopping drives. He doesn't believe in easy QB sneaks that pedestrian Brady can easily make or even a regular handoff to a FB or HB has to be a complicated route downfield so he can fool the opponent. Idiot....

As expected, Fins D led by the not-so-great Matt Burke, gives up an early TD on a fairly long drive with very little resistance. Nothing to do with injuries - just poor play calling and tackling as per usual.

When going against the run we may have a shot -- vs Pass, as usual no pressure is ever brought - no discipline in coverage.

On a positive note, the Cheatriots miss the XP.

Great response/opening drive for the Fins after the defensive debacle in the last drive.

A great job by AG to mix things up on every play there -- hopefully, he will continue that for the rest of the game -- unlike last week.

Great stop by the defense on this drive. Much better focus in identifying things before they happen.

Bad blocking kills that drive - not as much by the OL as it was by the RBs


Then a lack of blocking on special teams results in a block punt and good field position for the Cheatriots against this Dolphins no resistance defense.

Fins score quick after a pass play - the Fins run the ball with former Cheatriot Brandon Bolden who runs it for 54 yards - now lets see how long the defense is willing to hold this slim lead.
