Game Thread: Miami Dolphins vs New England Cheatriots Week 15 Regular Season Game Thread

[FlyerFinFan]

Devante Parker, Jakeem Grant, Chandler Cox, Jason Strowbridge, Ereck Flowers , Mike Gesicki all inactive today. But, if our QB is as advertised -- he should be able to overcome this. No excuses.

On a different note, the Bills clinch the division last night - so, it now it is down to the last three games to try to clinch a wildcard spot.

Hey Paolo you do realize that Miami's top 3 WR's, top TE and top RB are all out right? If they lose this its not on anyone especially whoever is at QB. The D is for the most part healthy so they will have to be solid. At least Ahmed and Breida are back so that could help the run game. Bowden has also stepped up he could have a big game too.

Fins win toss, elect to differ

Cheatriots tried to get a little too fancy on the first drive and the Dolphins defense held up.

 

[Paolo305613]

3 and out for the Dolphins - Flores challenging the spot -- it will turn out to be a bad decision -- especially this early in the game -- unless the Dolphins get a gift on the call.

Even Stidham makes that first pass that Newton completely missed on...

 

[Paolo305613]

Fins, as expected lose challenge and timeout.

 

[Paolo305613]

Two drives and two stops for the Dolphins defense. Early on, if they can force the Cheatriots intopassing situations its advantage-Dolphins. The Cheatriots have already gotten off some good runs on the Dolphins D.

And the drive ends in a tough manner for the Fins -- Tua feels the pressure -- forces the issue and throws a pick in the endzone. Horrible decision to force the issue there. The thing to do there was throw it away -- even taking the sack would not have been a bad idea there given they were in FG range.

Trade Tua for Newton....3-2-1 Paolo haha

You aren't wrong but he was hit when throwing.

Issues for the Dolphins pass-blocking today.

I am sure many would go for it. Why not? Cam has lost a step but is proven.

He's got to be quicker and more decisive -- a half second earlier and it's a TD. At worse, he had a chance to throw it away. He has to be willing to do that instead of trying to be a hero.

 

[Paolo305613]

And, true to 2020 form, the Fins defense comes through yet again.

 

[Ramiel]

Classic clueless Newton. My lord

 

[Paolo305613]

TD off the board.

 

[Ramiel]

Well, that was interesting

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Unbelievable luck there. Patsies oline holding on every play too but not one call typical.

You realize cam could have been signed for free and no one wanted him. There's a reason for this...

Fins offense did close to nothing in the second quarter up until the end where it ends in an uncharacteristic missed FG for Sanders.

Looks like a significant injury for Gilmore -- lets see what the Dolphins do to expose that.
