Man, I didn't expect the Dolphins to look this good this early.

Man, I didn't expect the Dolphins to look this good this early.

They were a team that under performed in W-L record last year compared to their talent level and other indicators of team quality.

Still the Patriots should win this game by a respectable margin.

I just don't have much faith in either Henne or Bush.  Both have looked great so far, though.

Henne and Bush both have problems with consistency more than anything, Henne's red zone decision making in particular was awful last year.

Wow, tough way to give up the TD the Pats clearly caught off guard.

[Bahku]

Henne caught the defense completely off-guard ... four wide-outs and they completely bought the pass play. Ouch ... too easy, that drive.

[Neurotic Guy]

Ouch.  Great Dolphin drive ending in a suprising QB draw -- what a good call -- right up the middle!  Don't we have close to 1,000 pounds in the middle?

The line didn't get beat physically as much as they were surprised.

Brady should have done more with that free play.

[Fafnir]

And the Pats show once again where the real strength of their team has been.

[Bahku]

Needed that ... sweet, easy, fluid drive, and I love the extra effort by BG-E. Seven!!

[Neurotic Guy]

Don't you love to see BJGE attack quickly and then have the ability to readjust mid-run.   He's no Barry Sanders, but he is a decent back.   Great drive.

Go D!

[Neurotic Guy]

Wow is Brady on target tonight.  Great protection so far.

Ha, that description is how I wouldn't describe him. He's much more a one read/cut guy than anything.

Good run though.

[Bahku]

Man, when Tom's got time, he's just deadly ... and his knowledge of how to read the defense and make audible adjustments is really amazing. He sensed Miami's defense trying to confuse him and what did he do? He turned the tables on them, going to the no-huddle and keeping them on their heels. Beautiful stuff.

You are probably correct that he is bascally a one read guy -- however, he's done a mid-run read/adjust twice tonight.

[Bahku]

Great defensive stand there ... more of that, guys. We're definitely doing better against the run ... the DB coverage has been a bit lacking thus far.
