[Pat Patriot]

What ever happened to the 5 wide Brady QB sneak. It was unstoppable for a yard. Did Weis take that with him to ND?

 

[jomar]

anyone notice that Welker hasn't been on the field since the punt return?

 

[Kilgore]

The Pats have become a run-first team!

 

[CowboysFromHell]

Call the caterer! (i.e. Feed the Law Firm!)

 

[identikit]

Welker was in there on the WB sneak.

 

[HellToupee]

why no pink chin straps on the Patriots??

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Pats D blows this year.

Honestly when they went thru the NE defense I didn't recognize any of them outside of Wilfolk. Guys like Bruschi and Harrison are retired, Seymour and Samuel have moved on...not much left.

No factor this year they are a step behind the big boys in the AFC

I dont question the theme of your post but who are the big boys in the AFC?

Ravens Jets Pitt

Chiefs

Bill aint into that. He's a Navy guy.

 

[CaptainHook]

wtf is wrong with moss this year

 

[THE SNOWMAN]

He plays when he wants to, that or he is the best decoy the game knows.

Brady is already feminine enough with his flowing mane

 

[lion_crazz]

As a Welker owner, I was concerned with no throws but there haven't been any to moss either..

 

[Txns8]

He's been on the field, just not involved.

 

[j3r3m3y]

WAKE!

That thing annoys the hell out of me. Get a haircut, hippie.

He had two TD's last week, what do you want? Lots of mouths to feed in NE.

 

[Easy Six]

Wake looks unbelievable. I haven't watched the Dolphins yet this year - is he having an unusually active game, or is he always this disruptive?

 

[Pat Patriot]

What happened to the Vollmer from last year? He is really dissapointing tonight.

Another crap play call by O'Brien.

 

[The Ref]

Think Bill knows he can't put his D right back out there? I think we will see many carries for Morris/BJGE tonight.

 

[Jeremy]

Seems like the TE Hernadez has taken on his role in the offense.

He hasn't been on much from what I can tell, wondering if he's hurting

 

[Pat Patriot]

Good thing the Pats are a second half team.

 

[lion_crazz]

Welker has been on every play except the run plays when they line up both tight ends..

what i want is 5+ catches a game

You can tell he isn't really trying. Almost telegraphing the runs.

That guys is so explosive wow...! he moves around the field like blanca from street fighter...

I just traded for Wake in a Dynasty and he was a throw in at the end I would like to know this as well. I got him for depth might he be more?

 

[The Ref]

I wonder if you put a cone in the middle of the Fins picket how long it would take a Patriot to knock it over if they rushed 5.

Each quarter is only 15 minutes, we would never get an answer.

 

[The Ref]

No freaking way.

At least they got to the QB on that play

 

[ceo3west]

IDP guys - why hasn't Chung been on the field?

 

[identikit]

Ninkovich (sp?) is pretty good...

 

[Philo Beddoe]

Georgevich!

 

[j3r3m3y]

Dear Chad,

They are sniffing out your short passes. Throw a couple long ones to keep them honest.

Thanks!

[timschochet]

I don't think Brandon Marshall has even been targeted yet...

 

[Bad_Mo]

Good thing the Pats are a second half team.

I certainly remember the glory days of the early 2000s when this was definitely true.

 

[Pipes]

Henne makings some dumb throws out there today...or is this normal for him?

 

[Txns8]

Welker sightings...

 

[j3r3m3y]

I don't think Brandon Marshall has even been targeted yet...

He was, with the first INT.His stat line: Brandon Marshall MIA WR 1 tackle

 

[Pat Patriot]

I don't think Brandon Marshall has even been targeted yet...

Nor has Moss. The couple of replays they have shown of Moss Davis is giving him plenty of room. How about a 13 yard comeback.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

He was, it didn't end well

Yep.

Hes the real deal and has been involved in a ton of big plays so far this year. Miami let go of Jason Taylor and Joey Porter in the offseason because they knew he was ready to step up. Athletic wise, hes a freak - 44 inch vertical and an explosive first step at 255 pounds. He will be a double digit sack guy this year.

 

[scott72]

I was just going to ask this. Are the Pats doubling him?

 

[Dr. No]

if you're the pats and you have moss, why the #### wouldn't you force the ball to him a lot more often.

I see they just targeted moss and he blew it.... but honestly why is this guy getting 2-5 catches a week instead of 10

 

[CaptainHook]

never seen a more impressive DE than wake

holy ####

Because he isn't a 10 catch guy. He is a 5 BIG catch guy. Welker is your 10 catch guy.

I think that was actually more of a poor pass by Brady than Moss blowing the catch.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

They were scoring a lot last week and that almost back fired against Buffalo. Someone else psoted and it's likely true that the Pats don't want their defense out there too much and want to try and play some ball control even with little in the running game so they hit the short passes to Hernandez and Welker.

Kind of a boring game, 7-6.

Miami though, inexcusable to have a high energy guy like Marshall and only target him one time. Double coverage my ###, the Pats aren't that good, it's not like Samuel and Harrison are double covering the guy.

I thought it was a bit of both. I'm mystified by the Dolphins and Patriots refusing to throw to Marshall and Moss. If the coverages are sliding toward them, find a way to get them involved. They're making the jobs much easier for the defenses by not even trying to get them involved. I'm sure the Dolphins and Pats will be happy to let Welker and Bess catch 20 passes underneath apiece tonight.
