FOXBORO, Mass. -- This is a butt-whipping in the making.
And the Dolphins are doing the whipping on the Patriots, 17-0.
Matt moore has thrown two TD passes. Tom Brady has spent much of the afternoon on the ground, avoiding an angry Miami rush, behind a leaky offensive line.
The Patriots are playing with two rookie tackles, and a backup left guard. Matt Light was inactive today and Logan Mankins is out with a knee injury.
Oh, and New England's 32nd ranked pass defense is playing like a 32nd ranked pass defense, complete with two pass interference penalties.
New England's best chance for a score in the first half came and went when Stephen Gostowski missed a 51-yard field goal just before halftime.
Go figure.

TD,BRADY

The sky is falling, the sky is falling. Let's run and hide. Spineless fools.

Vontae Davis lost Branch in the back of the end zone.
Dolphins have a game on their hands. Must respond.

Play is being reviewed by the TD will stand.

So where did all the Bowles fans go? Scurry off like frightened mice already?
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:07 PM
Armando I told you last week Fisher and Sparano are the same Sh****, o like the Chineese said TAUTALLA

Mando sez "FOXBORO, Mass. -- This is a butt-whipping in the making.
--------------------
Yeah, but NOT for the TAKING.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:08 PM
moore has a knack for the timely fumble....
Posted by: austin | December 24, 2011 at 03:08 PM
WTF? it's one score and we're still up by 7?
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 24, 2011 at 03:09 PM
BTW, A Very Merry Christmas to Mando and all here...Happy Hanukkah as well.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:09 PM
Loyal fans only when they are winning. Time to go wipe your tails.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:09 PM
What did I tell you
These cheaters can barely beat Miami at home...if you think they're gonna win the SB you should quit smoking crack
Posted by: beerndrums | December 24, 2011 at 03:09 PM
we need a score R.F.N.
Posted by: jscottviper | December 24, 2011 at 03:09 PM
Maybe Bowles will tell the players to quit, just like you all have given up.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:10 PM
Merry Christmas to you, IMAWriter.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:10 PM
WASH, TENN, BUFF ALL WINNING. SO A LOSS TODAY WOULD BRING SOME GOOD NEWS!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:10 PM
THIS next drive will show WHAT we've got...O-Line, HC, OC, and QB.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:10 PM
We have to score now, have to...
Posted by: Powhitetrash | December 24, 2011 at 03:10 PM
Agree IMA...
Posted by: Powhitetrash | December 24, 2011 at 03:11 PM
Really? C'mon Moore
Posted by: Sandoval | December 24, 2011 at 03:12 PM
This game is getting close, right about now Moore usually chokes
Posted by: Husketeer | December 24, 2011 at 03:13 PM
BARRING A CLYDE GATES KICK OFF TD RETURN HERE, I THINK WE'RE DONE FOR TODAY FELLOWS. THE SCRIPT SAYS WE ALWAYS PLAY PROGRESSIVELY WORSE FROM HERE.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:13 PM
SEE WHAT I MEAN?
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:13 PM
to much time with the ball this is not chess
Posted by: tony in miami | December 24, 2011 at 03:14 PM
I get it that Moore saw no one open.But his internal clock, his instincts, have to tell him to get rid of the football.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:14 PM
TRUE TO SCRIPT, MOORE HOLDS BALL INSTEAD OF THROWING IT AWAY!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:14 PM
That's on Moore
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 24, 2011 at 03:14 PM
Now we will see what Bowles is made of. I can guess already...........
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:15 PM
The good teams find a way to shove it back down the other team's throat.
If we look gutless, than we are.
That tough mindset comes from the HC...if we don't show it, then it's not there. NE has a lousy defense for the most part. This ain't the Ravens or 49'ers. If we can't do it here, then enough with the Bowles/Moore love fest.
If they can, we will have shown something we've lacked...
Matt held it way too long...folks, it is what it is.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:15 PM
Was he waiting for a sack
Posted by: dengell | December 24, 2011 at 03:15 PM
Agree Mando...
Posted by: Powhitetrash | December 24, 2011 at 03:15 PM
the dolphins better watch out Mr Mo is going to the evil empire
Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:15 PM
WE'RE OFFICIALLY IN "MELTDOWN" MODE FELLA'S!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:16 PM
ROLLER COASTER RIDE, ANYONE?
Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 03:16 PM
Pick 6 coming
Posted by: Husketeer | December 24, 2011 at 03:17 PM
What a surprise ... Columbo!
Posted by: Jay-Mo | December 24, 2011 at 03:18 PM
Look at the offical pushing...Clean his clock
Posted by: jscottviper | December 24, 2011 at 03:18 PM
IS this where we get lulled into a false sense of security with the lead and momentum only to have it change in the second half Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 24, 2011 at 02:08 PM
Dooohhhh
Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 24, 2011 at 03:18 PM
WELL, BRIGHT SIDE IS, ITS NOT LIKE WE HAVENT SEEN THIS SCRIPT BEFORE!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:18 PM
Thanks Mando!
Jelly Bean, please, enough with the racist thing.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:18 PM
I guess we found a way to loose..
Posted by: Powhitetrash | December 24, 2011 at 03:19 PM
LET'S CALL IT 17-17 RIGHT NOW. WHY WAIT?
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:19 PM
Pouncy has got to improve-or get replaced-all these high snaps + drops between him and Moore are unacceptable
Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:19 PM
I'm no racist. You must be a racist if you are saying that.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:20 PM
You said it Mando 'instincts', one of the intangibles that set some apart. Some are now putting this on an interim coach to prove what he has, seriously?
Posted by: Tom | December 24, 2011 at 03:20 PM
... And suddenly the Dolphins can't pressure Brady? Crazy!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:20 PM
So where did all the Bowles fans scurry off too? What sissies. You have no conviction. Fickle like girls.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:21 PM
We are still punishing the receivers, it may pay off with a fumble?...hope so
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:21 PM
Bell-knock the stuffing out of them-make them pay
Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:21 PM
Do you think Tony Sparano is at home gameolanning on how he would lose this game ?
Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 24, 2011 at 03:21 PM
THE SCRIPT:
OFFENSE PUTS DEFENSE IN HOLE AND DEFENSE CANT GET STOPS. WE SHOULD HAVE IT MEMORIZED BY NOW!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:22 PM
This has got to stop-or we'll get a franchise QB
Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:22 PM
Why does it feel like Miami is down 10 points?
Posted by: Jay-Mo | December 24, 2011 at 03:23 PM
That didn't take very long
Posted by: Sandoval | December 24, 2011 at 03:23 PM
So where did all the Bowles fans scurry off to? What sissies. You all have no conviction. Fickle like girls.
