**** OFFICIAL DOLPHINS vs. PATRIOTS THREAD ****

[AZGamer]

Miami did beat the Pats last year, I think.

Was Cleo Lemon starting then or was it Joey Harrington?

 

[rise]

shut the pats out, 21-0 with harrington at the helm.

 

[Alistar7]

Should this count as the bye week for the Pats?

If Miami can play to it's potential with mistake free football, they will only lose by 4 TDs.

LOL .

while thats often the case, i think any team that beats the pats have to put up a ton of points, and that won't bee the dolphins.

indy will be tough because it's in indy, i don't think the steelers will win up here. maybe the giants in the finale will be the game but i doubt it.

i'm not saying the pats will go undefeated (yet ), if anything happens to brady then everything changes. i figured 13-3, 12-4 at the beginning of the year with a probable loss to indy and possible losses to pitt/@indy/@jets/@ravens. they weren't losing them all though.

after watching them the first 6 weeks though, i think 14-2, maybe 15-1 but this is definitely a team that could run the table. this is a focused team.

I think the Patriots could lose some games if they secure an early home field advantage and play their backups.

thats why i say possibly the giants at the end. if it comes down to 16-0 i think belichick will give it to his players to win. if they've secured home field with one loss, then certainly the starters won't play.

It was the Dolphins that defeated a then undefeated '85 Bears. Hoping for the next big upset. Go fins!!

Miami had Marino at QB. Lemon and Beck combined don't even measure up.

 

[mooglemania85]

Anyone know if Porter has guaranteed a victory yet?

Why do we need an "official" thread for every other fvcking NFL game?

It cuts down the number of unofficial threads, obviously.

 

[Syringer]

Honestly, if Ronnie Brown has a big day, and the defense forces a big turnover--e.g. send the napping Joey Porter in on a blitz or something, the Dolphins can keep it close. Cleo Lemon is providing a nice spark to that offense, and can be a huge difference maker.

 

[BeauJangles]

Reading the power rankings on ESPN just makes me angry. The Pats cannot look past Miami, because they always play the Pats tough.

Without either of our starting RBs the Pats are going to have a tougher game than most are predicting.

 

[krunchykrome]

We dont need a thread for this game.

I agree.

But since it's already created, I say Miami actually wins. If not this game, then the 2nd.

 

[Mojoed]

And here we go.

 

[Reckoner]

TD Brady to Stallworth

Poetry in motion.

 

[Reckoner]

Dolphins fumble, Pats recover

 

[Capt Caveman]

Is there a slaughter rule in the NFL? There should be for this game.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Brady to Brady TD!!!

 

[KLin]

2 TD's for Tom Brady already? LOL :laugh:. Here comes another 5 or 6 TD's for him. I say he finished with about 60 for the season.

 

[Mojoed]

Dolphins mounting a comeback, Pats are DOOMED.

 

[Reckoner]

74 yard kickoff return for a TD by Willie Andrews, 21-7 Pats

 

[Capt Caveman]

Kickoff Return for TD by Pats!!!

 

[Capt Caveman]

Seriously though, wtf was Miami thinking for drafting Ted Ginn, Jr? What a waste of a high first round pick.
