Who can stop the Patriots?

Reminded me of my Arthur Sears Henning game back in 2012.

How to give away games to the Patriots

1) Drop easy passes (Jets)

2) Miss makeable field goals (Bills)

3) Call really stupid special teams plays (Colts)

4) Mismanage the clock and drop touchdown passes (Giants)

5) Fail to recover onside kick and then fumble the ball away (Eagles)

I wish Miami's opponents would do this.

They did in 2008.

The refs helped the Eagles in this game too on the big third down conversion before the fumble because the right tackle for Philly clearly committed a false start.

You make your own luck, dolphins4life. 

Over one game, sure, you get screwed or lucky or whatever.  But over the course of 15 years, you earn confidence, the favor of officiating, and the benefit of the doubt by getting it together.

I think I was wrong about the Patriots always getting calls.

It was certainly true in 2013, but the last couple years it has gone against them.

I can only wonder what would have happened if they had called the false start.

The Eagles are faced with 3rd and 16.  They have to run the ball.  That plus the punt takes it to the two minute warning.

Brady has no timeouts and two minutes to go about eighty yards.

The Texans got to Brady several times in the second half tonight.
