Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots
Here ya go, gang. Our Patriots battle it out with the 'Fins at Gillette Stadium. I'll be at the game in the nose bleeds wearing, of course, #83. I'm sure you'll be able to find me in the crowd of sixty-something-thousand. For this thread, I leave in the more than capable hands of JohnHannahRules. Safe blogging.

Maroney Out Again,
and running out of leeway. Probably now safe to drop this label on LM: “Injury-prone.” As in:
Injury-prone lottery-pick Laurence Maroney will sit out yet another game for the Patriots this Sunday, nursing a shoulder which was banged up in last week’s contest against the New York Jets. With this latest set-back, it’s looking less and less likely that the former Minnesota Golden Gopher will ever fulfill his prodigious potential.
Other Patriots’ inactives today:
WR Kelley Washington
RB Kyle Eckel
LB Eric Alexander
C Dan Connolly
OT Wesley Britt
LB Shawn Crable
QB Matt Gutierrez

At least...
We got Benjamin Watson and Sam Aiken back. Although, what is it with Maroney? Is it his style of running that makes him get banged up often?

No idea.
When he first came into the league, he was a very vertical runner. He’s gotten better about that, though. I think that he hurt his shoulder in his first season and it’s since been more subject to injury. Not a good place for an RB to have a weakness.

I see three things possible today; two of which will be hard to watch.
1. A blow-out. Yay!
2. A slog-it-out win.
3. A loss.
Obviously, #3 would suck. But both 2 and 3 will be hard to watch, because if we’re in a close game with a team like the ‘phins, it’s going to be cover-your-eyes football at its worst. So, I’m hoping for #1.
Great day for MaPatsFan, who can enjoy this weather at the game.

2 short passes to Moss for 11 yards. Interesting.
Getting him involved short will keep him interested. It may also lead to getting it to him long.

I hate Jerry Porter, but you can't block him with a tight end.
Then they follow it up with a premature whistle on a “sack.”

Cassel intercepted on 3 and goal from the 16.
Bad throw on a screen play—threw it right to the lineman.
Matty’s got happy feet and this is going to be a long day against a very bad Dolphins team. If he can’t grow a pair of balls, we’re going to have a long season, too.

Refs...
Are really dropping the ball. That was an awful in the grasp call. Cassel was getting out of it as they are blowing it dead. What happens a play later… damn pick.

Gadget play.
Direct snap to RB, fake to end-around. Practically untouched and I just puked in my mouth. The Fins go 74 yards in 8 plays. Cassel looks like shit and I’m going to light myself on fire.

Once again, our best plays are our opponents penalties.
God, this takes me back. It’s like the old days again. (Notice I don’t say “good old.”)

Doesn’t help when the DB’s are 10 yards off the ball, and it looks like the Backers are just sitting in a zone. Wheres the push as well.
