Game Thread W4 - New England vs. Miami (1 Viewer)

[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

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

ok - well why isn't he getting that semi consistently - has he lost a step without us knowing?did he quit on the pats like he did on the raiders over this contract ####?maybe i don't understand football strategy, but i would run screens to moss, force the ball to him multiple times a game, or do some other stuff to get him involved.I just wouldn't have high profile expensive receiver and not get the ball in his hands somehow.. unless he were so badass that he drew consistent double and triple coverage and made it just ultra easy to chuck it to other guys.... which is seemingly not the case either

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

Has he not been on the field or has he not done anything? .. I have him on my bench.

Both teams are letting the opposition dictate their offensive approach. That doesn't strike me as very smart. Seems to me if I had players like Moss and Marshall I'd make sure each of them was getting at least a half dozen targets every half. And with Moss, you should be taking 2-3 shots downfield. He's still arguably the most lethal big-play WR in the league. But the Patriots aren't even trying to throw to him deep. That makes no sense to me.

Not on the field in the 2nd Q. I'm hoping he was just benched for the Bess TD and he'll be back in..

i'm not even talking about just this game... as far as i know moss just doesn't get adequate targets overall.. unless he's lost a step i don't know about.how many catches does he have to "not get" before they don't cover him as hard and he starts blowing up again?

 

[Workhorse]

If the Patriots can keep establishing the run and finding Hernandez in the middle of the field, it might open up some things for Moss on the outside. This first drive of the second half will be interesting.

I'd be more inclined to stay with this approach if the Patriots were winning big and rolling offensively. But they're struggling badly in the second half in particular and tonight they couldn't score a touchdown in the first half. Seems to me that maybe getting Moss involved might be an idea to consider. I don't wear a hoodie but that strikes me as possibly an idea worth contemplating.

Take a breath though, they'll get you the win. I mean, that's totally impossible to not get a mere 50 yards out of the two of them... Right?

 

[Workhorse]

Brandon Tate is a WEAPON.

 

[Dr. No]

terrible result there for moss/welker/brady owners... ruined potential posession

 

[scott72]

Looks like Moss won't be getting a catch on this driver either..

 

[24seven]

nice specail teams ...real nice

return yardage...bing!!!

They put helium in the balls tonight? Every kickoff/punt has been 80 yards.

Not on the field in the 2nd Q. I'm hoping he was just benched for the Bess TD and he'll be back in..

Chung back in at start of 2nd half

Heard that there was a pretty brisk wind in Miami tonight.May be part of it.

 

[The Ref]

Marshall, no kidding. When did he get traded to the Dolphins?

 

[Workhorse]

Chung with the blocked punt!!!!

There's that Chung guy...

That must count for something?

what a joke. our play selection is s&*t and special teams have fallen apart

 

[GoBigRed]

As a Brady, Welker, and Hernandez owner, this Special Teams crap needs to stop.

That wasn't a big play....

BJGE runs hard up the middle. He's a great fit for this offense.

pretty sure it counts for tackle opportunites...oh yeah and blocked punts

 

[Clifton]

Benjarvus' coming out party. This is gonna be SICK!

Guy is a beast! Where the hell is Yudkin

 

[identikit]

Time for Henne to earn his $$$

 

[CowboysFromHell]

Law Firm!

 

[24seven]

spread out the field quit with 2 backs next to henne. put 4 recievers out there and throw the pigskin...jeez

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Benjarvus' coming out party. This is gonna be SICK!

Guy is a beast! Where the hell is Yudkin

Was't his coming out party last week with 95 yds and a TD?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Henne almost threw pick #3 on the last drive...maybe he should sit for Pennington the rest of the night.

No points for the blocked punt

On the sideline, in the iron cross position, holding BJGE's gatorade?

is right.

 

[timschochet]

Wilfork looks HUGE out there. How much does he weigh now? He looks like Gilbert Brown.

Last week was for those who still had some doubt. This week is for the non-believers. The ones who says he's a slow plodding back with no moves. Belichick intentionally tries to mess with our fantasy squads by spreading the ball around. NE has too many weapons to ever utilize him fully. I dunno, I've been saying it all around. He's got stud written all over him.

yea and on that play marshall was coming across the field and he didn't even look that way. 2 tight end sets is not the way to spread the field. i'm sick of the play calling. the first drive of the game, 3rd and 6 and we run our first wildcat play. arrrghh..edit..oh wait there was almost pick #3 again

 

[Choke]

... umm what position us he lining up at? Did someone get hurt?

I'd like to know what they saw to move him out to LDE.

always strange the things FFL makes you root for that the actual players/fans of the team could care less about.But I agree, this is grade A bullcrap going on.forget the TD's... if Moss has 12 catches through 4 weeks that's grounds for being a bust.
