FOXBORO, Mass. -- One quarterback completed a 30-plus yard pass down the sideline. The other QB has started the game 2-fo-9. One quarterback has moved his team. The other QB seems frustrated and troubled by the opposing pressure.
Yes, Tom Brady is struggling and Matt Moore is doing quite well.
Just like everyone expected, right?
Well, obviously not. The Miami defense has blitzed on numerous occasions and gotten good pressure on Brady. That's why New England hasn't moved the ball.
Miami leads 3-0 on a 47-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter.
Will it last?
The live blog continues in the comments section so the answer awaits.
THE THIRD QUARTER POST IS UP. GO THERE PLEASE. GO THERE PLEASE. GO THERE PLEASE.

shut out patriots at home-too bad it wasn't earlier in the season-i guess Sparono was really (FG) holding this team back in a dramatic way by overruling effective aggressive play calling?

That drive is kind of scary. Dolphins decided not to pressure Brady like they were the remainder of the half and he had some time to make throws to his te and wr.
Hopefully, they will continue with the pressure in the 2nd half and not go into prevent mode.

INIMOUNTS,
SEE WHAT I MEAN? RUNNING ON 3RD DOWN BURNT AT LEAST 10 MORE SECONDS. BRADY COULD HAVE RUN MORE PLAY AND MADE IT A 30-45YD FG TRY. MAYBE GHOST MAKES IT.
RUNNING ON 3RD DOWN PROBABLY MADE A 3PT DIFFERENCE. YOU NEVER SEE THAT IN THE STAT CHART.

Bowles will be the next head coach of the Miami Dolphins. FACT. You idiots shouldn't just disregard the man because he's black.
Now just shut the hell up about big-name coaches who are just looking for a paycheck.
I swear, some of you guys make retards look brilliant in comparison.

Well, Bowles looks to have the team prepared well today. Yeah, the Patriots have injuries but it's part of the game just like it has been for the Dolphins.
Miami is playing their backup quarterback and they are pitching a shutout in the first half. They have Colombo at right tackle and Fasano is also out today.
Don't talk to me about the Patriots having injuries. If they don't have depth that's their problem. It's a 53 man roster.

If we win this, forget about drafting a QB!! Spend the picks on weapons and let it ride.. I say this because we will drop another 3-4 picks down in the first round.

Moore does stupid sh*t...def is not the long term answer

Now he's playing like a backup QB. Under throws hartline, and now Clay. Our offensive line is AWOL, and Defensive pressure, non-existent. Bush injured. Seriously? WTF?
