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.

Fickle like vginas LOL.

so at halftime, the Dolphins suddenly forgot how to pressure Brady and the patriots suddenly remembered how to protect Brady, cover WRs and pressure Matt Moore.
This is weird.

Its called coaching Armando. One team has a coach with a brain, the other doesn't.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:24 PM
You KNEW Brady was going to do it himself...it's the sort of arrogance that makes champions.
Who was that giving it to Moore on the sideline?

Never seen a team fall apart as quickly as these Dolphins do on a consistent basis.

1st dwn-Charlie Brown!!

ARMANDO,
PATS PLAYING WITH SHORT FIELD THIS HALF. SHORT PASSES JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS GOOD RUNNING PLAYS. DOESNT TAKE LONG TO GET IN SCORING POSITION ON SHORT FIELD.

Gates, with his speed, runs INTO the traffic, instead of using his speed to get around.
Hopefully, he'll learn.

When your HC has grits for brains (or linguini), this is the result.
Posted by: Jelly Bean | December 24, 2011 at 03:26 PM
I don't care what the outcome of the score...Me as a man cant tell anyone I was beaten by an A Metro-sexual...that sort of thing aint right in these parts
Posted by: SoiledBottom | December 24, 2011 at 03:26 PM
To everybody try to married with Moore as future Qb, there you have. and next year will happen the same thing than in Carolina few years ago.

CANT COACH BONE HEADED PLAYS! MOORE HOLDING BALL TAKING SACKS ISNT ON COACHING. HE'S BEEN IN LEAGUE LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:27 PM
Wow...NOW we're going.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:27 PM
one step fwd two back and there was no hold there
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 24, 2011 at 03:28 PM
Yeah, Moore is showing all his deficiencies, we MUST acquire a better starting QB through whatever means..plays well and then does the dumbest, boneheaded sh*t
Posted by: DublcOtown13 | December 24, 2011 at 03:29 PM

Posted by: David | December 24, 2011 at 03:30 PM
tHE FOURTH QUARTER POST IS UP. PLEASE GO THERE NOW.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:30 PM
Penalty drive killer.
The quick stuff will work against the pass rush. Their LB's can't cover Marshall.
I'm sure it's clear to EVERYONE what a 1st class TE would give us in a game like this...and they have 2...at least.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:30 PM
WEEEEE...RIDE THE ROLLER COASTER!
Posted by: finsfan72 | December 24, 2011 at 03:31 PM
THE FOURTH QUARTER POST IS UP. PLEASE GO THERE.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | December 24, 2011 at 03:31 PM
WHEN MOORE IS GOOD HE'S MUCH BETTER THAN HENNE. WHEN HE'S BAD HE SHOWS JUST AS MUCH CALAMITY!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | December 24, 2011 at 03:31 PM
Where's the screen, to slow them down?
I not so fondly remember those Bills/Kelly/Thurman Thomas screens
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:32 PM
Sheesh, we're falling like flies....good spot for us
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:33 PM
DANG IT!~!~!!!!!! Run the play quickly!
Posted by: nyfinfan | December 24, 2011 at 03:33 PM
Tony would punt here, playing field position.
Considering we're not going anywhere, lets see what Daboll comes up with.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:34 PM
wow that ref sure does have a new england accent
Posted by: fin fan buck | December 24, 2011 at 03:35 PM
Moore, even with deficiencies is 10 times better than Henne, enuff with Henne talk already...he's DONE in Miami
Posted by: DublcOtown13 | December 24, 2011 at 03:36 PM
He was open!
Posted by: Jay-Mo | December 24, 2011 at 03:36 PM
"yesterday"...one can HOPE! LOL
This team is a fighter. lets see how hard.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:36 PM
That's on the coaching staff...why?
He often under throws those, and we were doing our thing.
Second guessing, I know, but WOW.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:38 PM
Where is silly man Oden and Darryl ? Your precious Matt Moore sucks ! Pride is silly...
Posted by: Jcb | December 24, 2011 at 03:39 PM
mentioned earlier, we're dropping like flies.
Moore,just not enough arm, I guess. Is there any doubt that Rogers, Brady, Manning (both of them), even Cam newton complete that pass?
Not Henne...he would have thrown it through the end zone.
Posted by: IMAWriter | December 24, 2011 at 03:42 PM
Quarterback is the problem, fellas. Not Bowles. If Moore doesn't underthrow it, that's a TD for sure instead of the INT.
