Dolphins already up 7 - 0. The Pats defense is absolutely terrible. If they would ever hire a real decent D coordinator instead of Belichick doing everything, they'd be even more dominant.

I need seven points form Marshall to win this week. Throw him the fucking ball!

Ok, rant time. I don't understand this call. Every team in the NFL does it, but it doesn't make a bit of sense to me. 3rd and 1 and you run the ball up the middle, everyone knows it's going to be a run. It always seems to get stuffed, why do they keep doing it?

Everyone says its a copycat league. Maybe they copy not only stuff that works (Tampa Cover 2 def, Wildcat) but also copy the not so good stuff. Creatures of habit those coaches are.

Is Miami's defense that good or have the Pats started their slide?

Miami's defense is above average. Good, not great.

You'd figure Kraft and the Pats could afford to work more on the defense. They've had this high powered offense for years, but the defense has consistently sucked.

Bess is stepping up. Henne is regressing.

I don't understand Henne. He plays great against the Jets (one of the best pass defenses in the league, if not the best) but sucks up the place against everyone else.

Don't forget that henne threw the game sealing pick last week. He freezes in clutch times.

Ah, come on Moss. Randy hasn't been the same I think since that 2007 season.

Well, that was quick. Brandon Tate 103 yard kickoff return for the TD. 13 - 7 Pats.

Pats special teams killing the Dolphins this half. Chung with the punt block and the Pats with the ball at the 15.

Dammit. The under is suddenly in jeopardy.

Game. Dolphins won't be closer than 6 the rest of the night. Off to bed.

Dolphins are not that far away.

Good QB. Good offensive line. Good backs and receivers.

But just watching the past two weeks they need another offseason to fill in some holes.

I'd say a big-time safety to control the secondary.

Pats with a running game. Who would have thought?

TD Pats. 27 - 14. I think your under is definitely going down. :p

Wow, just wow! The Dolphins special teams needs some help. Chung with a blocked FG now and the Pats return for the TD. 34 - 14. Pats have a kickoff TD, a blocked punt and now a blocked FG for a TD.

If Miami had a ST unit capable of tying their shoes we would have a pretty good ball game on our hands.

Dolphins fail on 4th and 2. Looks like this game is over with. Still 10 minutes left but I don't see the Phins coming back from 3 TDs.

Hmmm I wonder if Henne started the Patriots' Defense in his fantasy league tonight.

Chung with a pick 6 to go along with his 2 blocked kicks. Pats 41 - 14. That wasn't on Henne, Marshall totally stopped on his route.
