This past Sunday was the most enjoyable “Dolphins” Sunday in so long, I can’t even remember the last one that matched it. I felt like we had a chance to finally beat the Houston Texans, who we were previously 0-7 against. I felt the team had a renewed attitude, and that this might put them over the top. I picked the score of MIA 24 – HOU 6. Who would’ve thought they far exceeded that, and just in the first half!
For the Texans game, a bunch of people from our blog met up for the annual “Fest”, which has become a yearly tradition. I think it’s great, I’ve been to two, but every year I truly miss it when I can’t make it. Jon “Stanger”, is a huge reason for this. The first time I made my way to FLA with my family, Jon, Walker, Gigi, Son, Randy (OD), David, Cap’t Stubbs and Rob (FFR). As has now become the tradition, the whole crew goes out to Dave and Busters for dinner, and Jon always is very kind to provide for whoever chooses to make it there. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for a nicer, better “host”. John (Son), has mentioned it, and so have some others, but Jon (Stanger), really goes out of his way for all those visiting either from far away in-state, or from even farther away out of state. Anyone who has attended knows this, and major props go out to Jon for doing that. The next time I went I got to meet a few other blog favorites, such as Bat, Diggs, Jahn, and also Ken and Jordi (Piggy), whom I’d already met a few times, but you get the point. If you can somehow make it to one, I highly recommend it, and I personally guarantee my attendance next year. Look forward to enjoying another weekend with some great folks, and meeting some people I haven’t yet met!
What a game our friends got to see! I just kept imagining what was going on with our friends who made it there this year, how crazy they must have been going, to witness total domination from our team, the Miami Dolphins. They played the best half of football I’ve ever witnessed by them, hands down. Ryan Tannehill was nearly perfect. The defense was ferocious and relentless. Jarvis Landry played like an All Pro WR/KR/PR FOOTBALL PLAYER. Landry is easily my favorite Miami Dolphin, he plays harder than any player IMO. Lamar Miller was fantastic, both rushing and receiving. Rishard Matthews continues to add to his resume, showing what many of us thought he could be, and making it happen. Reshad Jones continues his All Pro campaign, making tackles all over the field, and adding another pick-6. Suh gave us 6 tackles and 2 sacks. Cam Wake, healthy and rabid, gave us 2 sacks. Everyone just looked better. Thank you Dan Campbell, for stirring this team, and waking them up from their slumber. Forget the 2nd half, it was obviously Campbell not only taking his foot off the pedal, but putting it in PARK, and allowing our guys to rest, knowing we have a big game on Thursday night against the Patriots.
Speaking of Thursday night, this is a huge game against a division rival. Last weeks huge win served only to keep the season afloat, and energize the fan base. We need another massive effort from our team, in order to knock off the favored New England Patriots, in their house, Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. The 6-0 Patriots will likely be allowed to hold Wake, and now likely Suh too, so we’ll need some of the other guys to step up. The Patriots have scored the most points in the AFC, with 213, and are 2nd in the nFL to the Arizona Cardinals, who score a lot of points with their defense. This is a daunting task, and at 3-3, and 0-2 in the division, almost a sure necessity, if we plan on contending this season. Brice McCain, who will be the starter if healthy, is questionable to start opposite Brent Grimes right now. If McCain can’t go, Jamar Taylor will start. That would leave young Bobby McCain as the nickel corner. This is big. The Patriots employ those super-quick, pesky WR’s like Julian Edelman, who BTW made Wes Welker expendable. Danny Amendola, finally healthy, is having a good season. Of course, Tom Brady’s favorite target is big #87, Rob Gronkowski.
I won’t be shocked if we if we see a big dose of RB LeGarrette Blount, and also a good amount of RB Dion Lewis out of the backfield, who will be a game-time decision for the Patriots with an abdominal injury. We need to tackle, and that means Blount, Lewis, but more importantly, Edelman, Amendola, and Gronkowski. The greater majority of passes that Edelman and Amendola catch are only about 5-10 yards past the LOS, so we need to be right on those guys as soon as they catch it, and hopefully, not let them catch it.
Big task for new Head Coach Dan Campbell, to go up against Bill Belichick. All the odds are against us, but I think we may just see a big upset. I don’t expect us to do to the Patriots what we did to the Titans and especially the Texans, but I think we do enough to win this week, with a last minute FG to win 30-28. GO DOLPHINS!!!
And now for the babe of the week . . .
“Life’s the same, I’m moving in STEREO, life’s the same, except for my shoes”
Finsmob Unleashed 
Enjoyable read as usghe Mike. Agree, this is a pivotal game for our season – a season I had written off as I thought Philbin would not be removed until season’s end. If we manage to get the better of NE in Foxboro, I would say we should fear no one. If we don’t, the play-offs are going to be a massive reach. So not much at stake then? I just hope we haven’t “come off the boil” and started believing all the good press. I like us better in “proving it” mode. I have a lot more confidence in Dan getting us prepared for this than Joe!
Go Fins.
FIRST!
Nice right up MikeE
You know somehow in my memory Phoebe Cates’ boobies were bigger. It’s funny how your memory works isn’t it? That was one of the most memorable movie scenes of my impressionable youth and I obviously mis-remember it.
Have a great day mob. GO DOLPHINS

Piggy mentioned NE is gonna want to establish some kind of running game and I thought for a second after watching all NE’s games and they have a set where they use 4 TE’s in game. If we bring in extra LB’s they spread the TE’s outside, if we bring in CB’s to cover the TE’s they bring the TE’s in to block for running. Once the OL is set I expect Suh to move along the DL to create confusion of the inexperienced NE OL right side.
The fins had 4 TE’s on practice squad and regular squad last week.My guess is they were preparing for this set that NE uses.

http://www.phillymag.com/birds247/2013/08/16/no-22-eagles-introduce-4-te-package/
The Eagles thought this package up.
It would make sense for the Patriots to have a game plan more like the AFC championship game against the Colts then they did against the jests last week
I just can;t beleive they would have Tom Brady throw 50+ more passes in a span of 5 days
His arm is gonna fall off….lol
you are right about Brady throwing another 50 times in such short period between games but I think he may have to win this contest. Their OL is a mess and run blocking is the hardest to get coordinated or in sych with 5 OL.
Mike E,
I am going to tell you I am a BIG fan of the new and improved (retro) BOTW. And to you Phoebe: Don’t pay any attention to Mr. Phin- there is nothing wrong with the size of your “boobies”; they’re real and they’re spectacular!
http://www.phillymag.com/birds247/2013/08/16/no-22-eagles-introduce-4-te-package/
The Pats recently traded for another big TE. This article explains how using a 4 TE package creates mismatches. This is the only way I can see them running on us unless they give us misdirection plays because we are to aggressive and not disciplined.
http://www.phillymag.com/birds247/2013/08/13/how-the-eagles-scored-two-tds-on-the-same-play/
Could we be exploring using the 4 TE set. We recently got back Syms and our reserve TE’s got some playing experience while we had injuries. Our OC knows stuff from his coaching days with Philly and we have a smart QB. We should find out when they announce the inactives for the game. Maybe our DT Mitchell gets a pass thrown to him from the FB position tonight.
Campbell being a former TE loves the position so much we might go with the 8 TE set. 🙂
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tight_end
Starting in 1980 the Coryell offense debuted tight end Kellen Winslow running wide receiver-type routes. Even with evolution of the position, prior tight ends were primarily blockers lined up next to an offensive lineman and given short to medium drag routes.[3] Winslow was put in motion to avoid being jammed at the line, lined up wide, or in the slot against a smaller cornerback.[4] Former Chargers assistant coach Al Saunders said Winslow was “a wide receiver in an offensive lineman’s body
VERY INTERESTING NAME AL SAUNDERS
Marlins and Mattingly agree to 3 year contract? Don, you’ve made a huge mistake.
interesting. I hope he made it a guaranteed contract concerning dollars
Good morning! Thanks UK, Rock and Try!
UK – That was a great article on Campbell. Thanks!
Good job Mike E
I actually read this because I wasn;t driving 20 hours when it was posted….lol
Thanks Piggy
de nada and oink
I read the article also.
Also
Great job by Stanger to coordinate Dave and Busters, the game tickets and the tailgating
Stanger is the best
Let’s not forget Warren who I understand is the master chef for all these events
Yes
and he is pretty awesome
but he doesn’t read this blog, so we have to thank his personally …..lol
And thank you Pig — for being one of the biggest engines keeping this place, up, fresh and witty week by week. I just spend a weekend on my part.
UK, great article on Campbell. It tells you why we played the way we have the last 2 games. Now go beat the Pats. LOL
Thanks jetssuck, for reading the article.
of course I read all the articles I post before posting…I think they call that proof
reading
Mike E, great article.
I’ll say this about Stanger, when we went to the Jets game a couple of years ago Stanger out of nowhere taps me on the shoulder in the stands and hands me a beer and some food he went and bought from the concession stand. He thinks about others and is a genuine good dude. Simple as that.
Yessir! He’s a quality guy for sure.
Thanks Tim — was just a long way up into the nosebleeds……figured while I was down there I should stock up. 🙂
Well guys I have to take a nap the final countdown is 11 hours till game time. Feels like a playoff game the local news station started the newscast this morning about the game. Feels like David vs. Goliath
Nice job mike. I won’t put too much stock in this game. This is a game that we mostly thought would be loss at the beginning of the season.
I just hope its not a blow out like the experts think will be. Keep it competitive and I’ll be happy.
I think we really have a shot in this game, and honestly, I feel much better with Campbell than I do with Philbin
Not sure why anyone would expect a blowout. The Dolphins are playing well, are newly inspired and it’s an important game for them. I’d be shocked if we played poorly. Could we lose, sure, the Pats are really tough to beat in NE, but it should be a competitive game.
that’s what I hope. If we don’t have our usual 2nd half meltdown, like we always do up in NE, we have a shot.
Mike E — thanks for the nice words…….but this my fave part: “I personally guarantee my attendance next year”…..you’re signed in blood my friend.
And too much credit anyhow. Only the last two years for me really, the first two years were mostly Gigi.
Plus as JS mentioned — I and we are just lucky that Warren likes playing chef (and at food cost). Overall he probably put as much time into last weekend as I did.
Is warren one of the bloggers here? I wasn’t sure.
Nope — he’s a friend of my who also just happens to like to cook……and he does it pretty darn well. We see the Fest as football….he see’s it as a chance to feed us. Nice fit there. He’s #23 in the Fest pics.
uk,
that was a good read by darlington. Thanks for posting. I hope Campbell is legit and can be our future coach. I certainly am rooting for him. Go Phins!
Unless the wheels come off at some point I don’t see why he wouldn’t remain our HC next year. The results thus far are outstanding.
stanger,
thanks. The more the better. Sounds like you guys had a blast.
Always Boulder……hope you make it one year.
I hope so as well. For some reason the schedule and family gets in the way to make the trip.

I tend to think it will be a competitive game
We’ve matched up well against the pet riots the last few years and I think we match up well this year
How physical can we be?
That’s the key issue to me
It would be nice to leave the patriots with some bumps and bruises no matter the result
Our O can score on them, Q is can we stop there’s.
Think we rise and fall tonight on our DL.
Thanks for posting the Campbell article, UK. Awesome read. I believe in Campbell, and I think we’re going to give the Pets all they can handle this week. We may not win, but we’re going to give them a hell of a fight.
And once the top comes off they’re gorgeous and plenty big enough.
The line has moved from +7.5 to +8.5 miami the last 3 days. So more people are thinking its gonna be a blowout (more than one td) than not.
You guys all know though signs they put up in the locker room. Stuff like:
“Be your best every day.”
“Champions work here.”
etc.
All gone.
The big one on top the door leaving the Dolphin’s locker room now:
“THE STORM IS COMING.”
From the looks of it the storm is already here. It just depends on how much damage is done. 🙂
Lightning crashes behind Tim
Stanger
It’s not just the Fest itself, it’s D&B, and what you do there as well. Don’t shrug off the credit, when the credit is due! 🙂
Take credit for what is deserved. And come to next year’s Fest and you might see why Warren deserves more. This year he popped out those slow smoked prime rib sandwiches with horseradish sauce, home smocked king mackeral fish dip (South Florida feel), his special guacomole, pasta salad with some kind of vegiies, and a heaping bowl of shrimp mix (assuming his favorite dill cream sauce but he might have tried something new).
And nothing but the ingredients was ever in a store.
So yeah…..you guys can do what I do, but not what warren does. 🙂
I’ll be happy to give Warren my thanks next year.
Looking forward to that……he’s a good guy as well.

Would Devante Parker be a Samurai?
Stanger, accept it, you’re a major dude. 🙂
A Dude I am. Funny you put that out……Jeff Baxter graduated from my high school and he was with both Steely Dan and the Doobie Bros. Saw him play when he was back for a reunion. Told you before about Trey and Adam Duritz who I went to school with. Guess it was a real musical place for a small place (150 in my graduating class).
Awesome stuff!
Good morning.
Nice read above, however, my reaction to the BOTW:
C’mon Al, that’s a classic scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. You must respect that! lol
Not enough tattoos, piercings, or both?
Time for Rishad Matthews to have a monster game…
No doubt that dick face Belichick is going to try and take away Lamar Miller, force the pass, and scheme around Landry’s position on the field to bait Tanny into going to him and thus interceptions.
Matthews has been the best WR on the team thus far. He’s on pace for 69-1,168 11 TD.
Since it is Halloween week and GDP is coming around soon, i’ll just go ahead and do both of us a favor LOL….
That’s quite revealing. LOL
I like Phoebe Cates better TBH.
Uhm, you can kind of see IT. LOL
Lmfao at you noticing..
My eyes were too busy looking at the upper half.
I’m more of a south fan. LOL
Mike E,
I’m just busting ya balls a bit lol…
This is going to be a huge game for the TE/RB in assignments…
The Patsies are going to try and expose the OG blocking assignments on blitz packages
I think some are expecting a blow out because they feel the Pats would have blown out the Jets if they hadn’t dropped 11 passes. Coming off a game where so many dropped passes occured; I guess many are expecting to see crisp execution this week. However, many are downplaying the Fins-Pats rivalry. It’s been filled with a bunch of up and down games.
First off the Jets are overrated. They’ve beaten the Browns, Colts, Redskins and us when we were playing like a bad team. They were begging for us to steal the game from them but we couldn’t oblige. Beat the Pats tonight and we’re right there in the mix.
People are also probably thinking Miami in general is a poor cold weather team. Since Sparano days; I think we have seen this is not true.
This is the boxscore from the last time NE lost at home in the month of October
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200510020nwe.htm
I hope history repeats itself in that the Fins blow their asses out 🙂
Tim,
I agree. Miami has better speed at the skill positions than the Jets and if we execute pretty good; we should see good results.
Yep! Play the way we’ve been playing and we can give the Pats major problems.
I hate the pats.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
One Boston radio yahoo says the only way the Patriots lose if they “completely poop down their leg.” Some solid insight there.
Well get ready to sleep in an outhouse. LOL
‘Because it’s the Patriots and they are godlike…lol’
yep. even today on the local sports talk show ian beckles says the pats can play bad and still beat you by 10 points. he didnt elaborate but i will
now how does that happen, 10 points is a pretty big margin. so how can a team that pretty much has constant turnover ever year play bad but still win by 10 points. and i get he didnt mean win by 10 just that they can play bad and still pretty much walk away with an easy win. just seems super fucking odd to me that in a league that teams try to have a consistent roster that one that is a constant turnover always walks away assured of wins
if we don’t stop the pats rush attack it’ll get ugly as it usually does when they run it down our throats. The only reason the jets were in that game was they stopped their rush and were able to run on them.
If we keep playing the way we have been I think the Pats are in for a rough night. I really do.
you’re glass half full guy. I’m the glass half empty guy. I hope you’re right. But when I look at the stat Al posted below I can’t be optimistic about tonight.

Damn, talk about dominant. I’m looking at the NE home stats for October. The Pats haven’t lost to a divisional opponent since 2001; Brady’s 2nd career start vs Miami (Tom’s first home game in Oct in his career as a starter). Crazy, to have lost only once to a divisional opponent in 14 years at home in the month of October is off the charts stuff. They are due for a loss 🙂

The Pats didn’t have RB Dion Lewis for the Jets game but he’s going to be active vs Miami (announced today he is ready to play).
As for the Jets, from the article I posted yesterday, it seemed the effectiveness of the Jets D came from the blitz.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2582992-have-the-new-york-jets-found-a-blueprint-for-beating-the-patriots
“Thanks to Ryan Fitzpatrick’s efficient play at quarterback, the Jets did a great job of playing keep-away from the Patriots in the first half by possessing the ball and converting third downs. That being said, that strategy wouldn’t have worked without help from a stalwart defensive effort.
The Jets took an interesting path to get there. According to Pro Football Focus, the Jets blitzed Tom Brady on 28 of his 60 dropbacks (46.7 percent), far above what we’ve come to expect against Brady. Initially, the plan worked. Brady completed just 20 of his first 37 passes for 205 yards in the first three quarters before rattling off 14 completions on his next 17 throws for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
It wasn’t because the Jets blitzed or didn’t blitz that they had success, though. It’s because they mixed it up. By keeping the Patriots guessing, and by confusing the offensive linemen (many of whom are inexperienced), the Jets were able to keep the Patriots out of rhythm on offense. “
Kong,
Alright….next time I’ll just leave a link to click on

Hopefully my last post drowns out the page far enough for ya 🙂
I’m excited to see what kind of gameplan Campbell and company come up with against a top quality opponent. If we get a win, or even just play a good hard-fought game, and it will do more for Campbell’s chances of staying on at HC than any number of blowouts against the bad teams.
Damn, I am ready for some FOOTBALL!
I don’t expect Campbell to outcoach Brady but when it comes down to it, execution isn’t about being outcoached, it’s about effort and focus. My hope is that the players are loose and motivated all game tonight with Campbell at the helm.
GDP,
lmfao…

Hopefully this is true
Al,
I don’t expect Campbell to outcoach Brady and Belli. What I want to see is for him not to make mistakes that hurt the team. At best, this will be a tough game and some key decisions may make the difference. I have no doubt we’re going to see the effort and focus. Campbell brings that to the table in spades, lol.
I’m excited to see it play out. I think Campbell is the real deal, and tonight the Fins get a chance to prove it to everybody.
LOL Kong.

I get pissed off on how the page refreshes in general (what your talking about) because I always have to scroll after a refresh.

Doh! (palm to face)
Every year when the schedule comes out the franchises circles the most meaningful game and usually its the biggest game against the previous division champion. If a team can beat them then they consider themselves improving from the previous year. Believe me preparation for this game started the day schedules were announced. Players shouldn’t need any motivation for games like these. The organization can see the Patriots have wrinkles in their armor and the battle for that castle is even.This might be a thriller like a 15 round boxing match. This organization is tired of one franchise dominating the division 15 of 16 years. When we were down with injuries we didn’t make excuses. J. Gray didn’t quit when he was cut by Patriots. The Pats OL injuries creates opportunities for us to take back the castle. I can hear the bag pipes playing softly and they are getting louder as the game gets closer. No motivation needed for this one this is a franchise turning opportunity. Remember the KC Chiefs xmas day game.
AMEN

I am going to take my pre game nap now. Phrase to the glorious Tannehill and offense and let the demons of our defense be let loose on that evil franchise.
Dion Lewis is playing tonight for the Patriots. Just one more weapon we have to worry about.
Of course he is because I have him in FF and he’s been limited and out. SMH
no doubt their game plan is to try and run the ball on us.
That’s not really Lewis’ role though. He’s more like a 40/40 yards guy who can get a TD. Every team tries to run on opponents. We’ll try to do the same.
Tim
Are you playing him tonight?
No, Gurley and Bernard are in my lineup.
I’m in 4 different leagues, I have a hard time remembering who I have.

LOL. I’ve seen this story too many times to fall for it. We always have high hopes before we go up to NE to play the pats. As we’ve seen the last 14 years those hopes get crushed more often than not.
It seems Darren Woodson likes our odds going forward. said Dan Campbell is not a “rah-rah” guy, but a tough guy. Says he believes he is receiving mentoring directly from Parcells.
Sounds good to me!
I’m psyched for tonight’s game. This game could be a season changer.
If we win, no doubt!
Either way.
Win = 3-3 AFC and 1-2 DIV
Lose = 2-4 AFC and 0-3 DIV
Based on the stats Tim has posted, our season pretty much hinges on the outcome of this evening’s game.

No, Gurley and Bernard are in my lineup.
—————
I keep reading and hearing about Gurley and how bad-ass he is. I even read one guy call him the best back in the NFL just 6 games into his career.
I haven’t watched him play at all yet. Anybody here watch him play. Is he really that good or is he over-hyped?
I have him in FF, and I usually try to watch guys I have, but I haven’t been able to catch him yet. He didn’t start playing until maybe 2-3 weeks ago.
I have, he’s like AP, he seems to find open field real easy but so does Lamar. 🙂
Mike Francesa who is not for everyone but I’ve listened to him for 30 years and I like him – he knows sports really well, he thinks he’ll lead the league in rushing.
That’s the second comparison I’ve heard to AP. I need to see a Rams game to watch him. They play the Niners this week so maybe I can catch that game. Cheers, fellas.
Here’s a tidbit. It also shows his in-game intelligence and he has tree trunks for legs.

tim,
it doesn’t matter what lewis’s role is. Belicheat usually beats us up there by running the ball on us in the 2nd half. And I bet, unless we have a large lead, he’ll try and do the same to us tonight.
Oh I agree. He wants to go with Blount 4th quarter. It’s the Phins job to snuff that out. 🙂
I hope so. I mean that’s the main reason we spent all that money on suh correct?
I think he tries to run on us too
I would – its hard to believe what happened in Sept to us when people ran at will is just over like that
but maybe its been corrected
I think belicheat at a minimum wants to exploit a running game like teams did early int he year
We’re a different team now. We really are. Like night and day. It’s amazing!
Too bad Matt Roth is no longer here- he would have been perfect for a Dan Campbell team. Probably would have taught Campbell a few things on being tough.
He’s retired,now. Probably just intimidatting little kids at playgrounds…
I wish this game was like the movie Troy. They send their coach and we send our coach and whoever wins the fight wins the game 🙂
LOL
this is why you have to be physical with the pats receivers at the LOS to rattle brady.

Gotta be on their receivers like white on rice, no cushion for these guys. Guys on the D-line need to get their hands in Brady’s face too.
If you have noticed we’ve played man on the strong side and 5-6 off on the weak side all year. This 10-12 yards off the ball stuff is a fallacy. When we do play off like that it’s just to diagnose the play and they’re at 5 in a second.
Our defensive scheme is a common one and based on your talent you can do certain things. But what we do is keep everything in front of us, don’t let them get behind you and make big plays. It all starts up front with pressure in the backfield. We didn’t do that the first 4 games, we have the last 2.
2.1 seconds is pretty fast. one Mississippi two Mississippi boom.
Boulder,
I don’t expect the Pats to outplay Miami.
I expect Tom Brady to bitch to refrees and bullshit PI calls to decide the outcome in favor of NE
that’s what happened 2 years ago with the batted ball call. WE had that game until that call. That is exactly why its tough to beat the pats in NE. Because you have to beat them and the refs. tough task for sure.
Guaranteed that we have to overcome at least 1-2 douchey calls by the refs.

Nice — especially this.
————————–
Q – how much does it mean to you to have fan support across the country?
“It means a lot. I’ve seen it a lot. It shows us – and especially the new players who come (to the Dolphins) – that wherever we go, we have love everywhere. You have to be ready, embrace their presence and feed off of it.
Like I said earlier…

Matthews has been the best WR on the team thus far. He’s on pace for 69-1,168 11 TD.

The last play shows his football IQ. If that had been an Arizona RB, he would have gone out of bounds, lol.
LMAO!! @ Campbell arriving in New England
Hoping for a good showing tonight, win or lose. We need to keep momentum going and pick up a couple wins over the next three somehow. A win would be a pretty huge accomplishment. I’m afraid our coaching inexperience might catch up to us tonight. Make sure our hand signals are ready, bring the debugging equipment for the locker room, check the balls, signal blockers, radar jam, etc…
And if any of our guys injures Brady and knocks him out for the season I will buy ten of his jerseys tonight.
LOL
I like it! I’ll join you in committing to buying the jersey of any player that knocks him out for the year (just one for me though, lol).
Boulder,
Easier said than done, however, if I’m the Fins coaches, I am taking away Edleman at all costs and to a certain extent Gronk and daring everyone else to beat the Fins.
I remember 2 years ago in the playoffs the ravens did exactly that. They played really physical with their receivers and beat them up in NE. You have to bring the wood when you tackle these guys. They get rattled.
Hard to do both. If you leave open someone else they just go there and it’s their night. The Pats work like that, they don’t rely on anyone but Brady delivering the ball.
That said, I do agree we should cloud both of those guys often and hit the shit out of them when they get it. Jones and Aiken on Gronk, and Grimes, Taylor and Bo. McCain on Edelfuck. LOL
Tim, Mike E,
Really surprised how good Cueto was last night. Seems like the youth of the Mets rotation is showing a bit and their defense has really hurt them so far this series. Still think this series is far from over. I love this KC team. So many guys that are fun to root for.
Agreed, the young guns are a bit fatigued and the Mets bats have been quiet. The Royals are an excellent baseball team too.
We’ll see at Citi Field. The Mets need a win to get it to 2-1. It’s not game 4 yet. LOL
That KC lineup really wears you out. All those nasty pitches that LA and CHI swung and missed, these guys either foul them off, or hit them where someone ain’t. They’ll cool off eventually, hopefully tomorrow night.
Cav,
He’s due for a Theisman-esque injury soon. Karma.
I would love to think so. Dude has made a deal with the devil.
Pros and Cons:
Royals – contact hitting team, great defense and experience – two WS in a row is impressive.
Mets – power pitching and hitting – it’s not there right now.
drg
It’s really tough on a pitcher, when you feel like you can’t get anyone out. It’s very disheartening and also very stressful
that what it seemed like in the 5th inning last night for degrom
Yep! The Mets bats’ are not complying. It’s not a one man show and the Mets playoff run was not about one guy excluding Murphy’s incredible run. It was a team effort. Some of these guys including the Captain David Wright have to step up. Where is Cespedes?
