Yeah I think it's gonna be a bloodbath.

 

Maybe if the first half is bad enough we can see Rosen one more time to close the season and see if hes maybe made any progress.

 

If the first half is a blow out I'd wager you see the starters pulled. So it wouldnt be Rosen vs a fired up defense in all likelihood.

 

I'll go against popular opinion and say that this one ends less than a 2-score game. Why? This is literally the movie The Replacements and it's the final game for a lot of these players in the NFL. I think Flores has them playing fired up and I wouldn't be shocked to see us take an early lead in this one and hold it throughout the 1st half.

Do I think we'll win? Probably not, but I do think we cover the 16 point spread and at least keep it interesting for most of the game. So prepare yourselves for the Miracle in Miami Part II, Gillette Edition!

 

New England needs to get hot and fired up going into the playoffs.

This is going to be a 48-7 type game.

 

This could very well be our last chance to send Marcia crying to the the bench again. He may not be back next year. I personally would give up a first round pick just for that. Sack his azz five times, 2 pick sixes, Gaskin and Perine run for 200 and Fitz plays mostly error free.

We win in a stunner 28-27.

 

I expect the Pats to come out and try and run it again and again. They'll need a ground game in the playoffs to keep the ball away from the better offenses. Miami shouldn't get blown away in this game. Double Edelman and stack the box, force Brady to win it by throwing to the rest of his pass catchers.

If Fitzmagic shows up, we have a shot of sneaking out a win. I'll be very disappointed to see anything less than a competitive game.

 

Talent will probably prevail but chalk this one up as a moral victory and a lesson to us about finishing strong even though we don't come away with the win. I think Flores did a pretty darn good job this year considering what he had to work with and laying down the foundation of TNT will hopefully carry on to next year when he SHOULD have more to work with.

 

This is akin to a college tune up game for them. Like Alabama VS North Cakalaki State. This will not be pretty, unless your a Pats fan.

On another note, how about that after 20 years of utter dominance by the Pats and chaos in Miami the Dolphins have Still managed to be up on them by two games in the all time series between the two. Goes to show how much we kicked their butt prior! Nice!!

 

I think I'll skip this one and find something to do outside.

 

This kind of result would represent a successful season for the Dolphins, where we started with a hash of new players and leftovers and finished with a flourish against a long time nemeses and one of the leagues best teams. Winning the last game of the season against them on their home field is more then we could have expected at the beginning of the season. It puts some real teeth into the saying, "see you next year".

I am really looking forward to watching the Dolphins increase their potential this off season with a huge number of draft selections and the ability to pick whoever we want along with a huge number of selections from this years upcoming free agency.

I see myself smiling as we progress through the off season.

See you next year!

 

Our boys won't embarrass themselves today -- that is my mantra. They probably won't win, but it won't be due to lack of effort. There are several things we can be proud of, from this 4-11 team (never thought I'd say that, before this season).

I can't even predict a score, I just expect them to be competitive, disciplined and cohesive. Finish this thing off right boys!

 

What do you guys think of Albert Wilson today? Thinking of starting him in my fantasy championship.

Looking at box scores, NE has consistently eliminated the other team's top wideout. However, they've also consistently allowed decent production to slot receivers.

Assuming Parker is neutralized, those targets seem likely to go to Wilson--especially with Hurns out.

I've also been keeping an eye on Jason McCourty's health. He might play, but he's banged up. Could be the perfect storm for a big day for Wilson!

 

In the end, isn't this what football is all about, competition.

 

Well hopefully the game isnt that one sided where we have to find out.

 

Why not just line up and go for it? I'd rather have Fitz making that throw.

 

It's called stupid coaching.

 

There just isn't much about this Pats offense that scares me. Even with a patchwork defense. We need a couple turnovers and some big plays and we can sneak out a win today.

 

Great decision making by Ford. I'm impressed he resisted the urge to just chuck it. Offense is moving it well so far.

Just a bad throw by Fitz, but we got some points.

 

Refs stepping in to assist the Pats. Great challenge by Flores!

 

Flag was picked up. What a joke. And those idiots missed a facemask penalty on Fords run earlier.

 

Wow. They reversed a call against the Pats. Hell must have frozen over.

 

Eric Rowe revenge game!!!! Pick six!!!

Flores must be really really eager to prove himself with a win today.

 

Held the Pats to a FG, which is a win. The Pats will have to run the ball to win today, the passing game is inconsistent for them.

Wilson decided not to catch today, we can move the ball if the players just catch.

 

You can't win by making mistakes. Pats tie it up. Offense needs to respond, we still have time for a two minute drive to get some points. The Pats will get the ball after the half and we can't let them have back to back possessions.

Bad coaching won't help. Why the run up the middle EVERY first down????

Don't even try for the first down????? Is Flores doing a solid for the Pats? Help them get the win and Miami keeps draft position? In exchange, New England will not run up the score?

 

We need to catch the ball and stop extending their drives with dumb penalties.

 

In the positive side, if this is all the punch BE gas they wont be going far in the playoffs.

 

Just a little too far on that throw.

 

Never mind. A little to far to the left. Though that may be on Gesicki?

 

I'll never rank Fitz in my top 10, but dang can he be fun to watch.

 

Fitz wants to win, at least we can count on that.

 

How about another Brady pick 6? That would be nice right about now.

 

Or a blown coverage for the easy TD? Terrible response by the defense after getting another lead to protect.

Can't take the sack there. You just can't

 

Yep it looks like NE definitely has momentum. The defense needs to make a stand here to keep it tied and keep the field position on our side.

 

Need to make a stop here, momentum would swing to Miami. Yes, good defense, just come up and make the tackle.

 

Not a good time to have to burn a time out in a close game.
