Cugalabanza Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 If it was a Sunday 1 pm game, I'd say Miami has a shot. But you know Belichick has been working, strategizing around the clock, devising the perfect game plan, summoning Satan, sacrificing animals and virgins, whatever it takes, to look good for prime time.

plenzmd1 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think this game will be closer than people think. I can even see the Phins winning the game. I do believe the Pats peaked earlier in the year. Last week i thought the Jets outplayed the Pats for 3 quarters of the game. I am taking the Dolphins in a 24-20 win.

Tannehill still can't throw a pass that travels more than ten yards in the air. It probably won't be a blowout, but I think the Pats*** win by 10-13 pts.

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Nice too that the Dolphins get the mini-bye prior to facing the Bills which sort of negates any preparation advantage the Bills might have gained.

What's that, 4 of 8 games against teams with extra prep time?.To be fair the Bills get two whole weeks off before hosting the Dolphins. I know scheduling kinda sucked for the Bills with teams coming off bye weeks, but this one is tough to gripe about. Oh and this game is in NE with a national spotlight. I'd be surprised if it was close. The best we can hope for is some dirty shot on Brady that puts him out and gets Suh suspended.

K-9 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Short week and divisional rivals who know each other well. I will be surprised if NE**** blows them out. Then again, Belichick and Brady like to run it up like it's Alabama vs. Cal Poly-Pamona so I can see a tight game looking like a route with a couple meaningless NE**** TDs late. GO BOLLS!!!

Heitz Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Tannehill still can't throw a pass that travels more than ten yards in the air. It probably won't be a blowout, but I think the Pats*** win by 10-13 pts. On NFLN last night the mentioned Tanny's perfect QB rating about every 15 minutes. Only Kurt Warner pointed out that he didn't even throw downfield. I can see tonight starting close, but ending up as a blowout for NE - just like most of their games. Hate both these teams. Will definitely be watching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think teams would just stack the box and dare Brady to beat them deep but you just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Brady's been taking a lot of hits lately... hopefully they can get pressure and hit those body shots early Every crushing hit adds up since they had an early bye AND an early TNF game. From here on out it's a weekly grind for them, so put the shots to him and soften him up for the next game also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The last thing I want is for Miami to start believing in itself. Beating bad teams badly has given them a little confidence, but deep down they know that doesn't prove much. If they beat NE at NE, and them come to Buffalo thinking they're actually a good team, the Williamses will have a tough time not going to 3-5. Much better the Pats crush them, demoralize them, and they lose any faith they've got in their new coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
