Patriots @ Dolphins

elicoleman · 11-18-2008, 08:06 PM

Very big game for both teams fighting for their playoff lives. Winner goes to 7-4, loser goes to 6-5 and really hurts themselves, especially if the Pats lose.

Positive is that the Patriots got a few extra days this week to prepare for the Dolphins. Hopefully since they were thoroughly embarrassed in week 3, they've got a game plan to stop the Wildcat. If not, it's going to be ugly again.

Despite losing to the Jets, I feel that we can still build off that game. Coming back from 18 down and then coming back again to tie the game late should certainly give Cassel more confidence.

Ugh, I'm so incredibly nervous for this game. We never play well in Miami.

Go Dolphins. I am not nervous at all for this game. All the pressure is on the Pats.

I'll be watching this game with great interest. I know it's hard for me as a Bills fan to root for the fins but well it's hard not to root for good people like Parcells and Pennington.

I wouldnt say all the pressure is on the pats. If the jets can hold on and win the division which I think they will. I would say at most one of them will make the playoffs.

if the phins lose this one NE will be 3-2 in division with only the bills left to play. their only other tough games are pitt and an overrated cards team. the phins would be 2-2 with a game left against NY at NY against a team that beat them once and is much better now than they were then. if they play out even then the pats could definatly have the advantage in the tiebreaker. I could definatly see the pats only losing to pitt and maybe arizona and the phins only tough one should be NY so if NE is up one that could put them in a tie or NE still being up one. Either way the phins probably wouldnt make it. However if the phins win this then their slightly easier schedule could easily lead them to the playoffs.

Awesome game to watch. Can't wait for Sunday.

I'm really glad that the AFC is back this year to where it once was a few years back as one of, if not the best division in football.

Almost game time go Dolphins.

elicoleman · 11-23-2008, 01:55 PM

Must win game.

To me, season is over if you don't win this game.

So happy to be at work and not able to watch again. Stupid job and such.

elicoleman · 11-23-2008, 02:12 PM

Great drive and still ****ing stalls.

Same ****, different week. Settling for more field goals.

Good first drive for the Pats but that Holding Penalty really hurt. Cassel looks very comfortable running the offense.
