Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots Recap
Wow, a Wednesday recap from a Sunday game, what gives? Sorry, it’s the holidays! I’m on vacation and will be for the next week and a half.
So, going into Sunday, I was pretty excited for the 4 o’clock matchup between the Patriots and Dolphins. Realistically, I knew we didn’t have a shot. I’m the type of homer who predicts any Miami team to win any game. I don’t care what the circumstances are; I will find a reason why we will win. But on Sunday, for the first time in my life, I knew there was no chance. However, the Dolphins played surprisingly well. If Cleo Lemon wasn’t such a f*cking moron, the ‘Phins actually could’ve handing the Pats their first loss of the season!
My beef with Lemon stems for three different reasons:
1. Miami is down 28-0 with just under one minute left in the second half with first and goal. At this point, I would say to purposely waste a bit of time, so we don’t score too quickly and give NE the ball back with a chance to win. But what does Cleo do? He spikes the ball! This is the kind of moronic activity you can’t fix. If a guy who has reached the NFL isn’t capable of figuring this out now, then it’s hopeless.
2. Fourth and goal from the half yard line. Yeah, you remember the play. Cleo is running for the endzone, and instead of reaching for the goal line as he’s going out of bounds, he does nothing! I don’t know if he was just being cocky, or if he’s just an idiot. I’m assuming it’s the latter. Oh, and how about the play before this one, when there wasn’t a defender in sight on the right side of the field, and he could’ve crawled into the endzone, but instead passed and it skipped two times before it even reached his receiver.
3. This was just an overall observation, but when your offensive line is consistently giving you four seconds to throw, and you consistently get sacked, that’s on the QB.
Just on the few aforementioned bonehead plays, this game should’ve been 28-21, putting Miami right in the game. But as it is, New England remains undefeated with a game against a Giants team playing for nothing. Damn.
