Patriots @ Dolphins Official Gameday Thread

http://www.nfl.com/inactives?team=NE


Ninkovich, McCourty and Amendola are back

Freeny, Hightower, Jones, Edelman, Siliga, Vollmer are out.



Positives:
-Dolphins offensive line is still a complete wreck. We should win up front even without Jones. Sheard should have a good day.

-@MIA is always harder earlier in the year than later

-Amendola gives Brady someone to throw to after the other team sells out on Gronk.


Negatives:
-Having to play this week because we blew some very winnable games

-Health

-Likely loss of 1 seed if we lose today.

With amendola back, this should be a relatively comfortable win. 27-17 Pats

I just have everything crossed that Brady comes out of this unscathed.

Ditto Gronk, Butler and Collins.

We're missing a ton of starters.

The Pats have played good football even with all the injuries and I don't see things changing much in today's matchup. Score early and often and take the fight out of the Fins, if they have any left in them.

I'll be curious to see if McCourty and Chung actually play if they're strictly emergency backups.

Hopefully the OLine can keep Brady upright. It helps to have Wake missing.

I'm a lot more comfortable with now shreed, blanch , brown & Nink starting on the D-line .

Reports have it that 32 and 23 have been warming up with the 1st team, so there's a chance they're starting.

Ryan Hannable ‏<s>@</s>RyanHannable <small class="time"> 29m29 minutes ago </small> Patriots offensive line based on pregame warmups (left-to-right): Fleming, Kline, Stork, Jackson, Cannon.


Ugh. 9th straight game with a different starting OL

Was Mason benched?

Glad to so Kline back but surprising Jackson is starting over Mason.

Pats up 20-3 at the half. Jimmy G starts the second when BB pulls most of the starters. Final 34-13 Pats.

 

[MinuteCat]

I'll take an ugly win.

 

[bideau]

Lots of empty seats and I'd guess half the one there are Pats fans.

 

[Ray Crittenden]

Nice start

 

[bideau]

Nice play by Collins.

Gross. Not even remotely close on that second run.

 

[bideau]

Conservative game plan to start. :shrug:
