Good Lord Miami's defense sucks.

I would have thought that the Dolphins would have been able to generate a pass rush against the Pat's right side with Solder being a rookie and Waters being picked-up a week ago but Brady has longer than all day to throw.

Zero incompletions so far.

IIRC, DougP eventually ate his words about the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA playoff thread. Or maybe not. Can't remember for sure, other than DougP being very opinionated.

Do you have an issue reading? It's dougp, not DougP. Oh, and gratz to the Mavs finally winning a championship! My wife fucking cheers for them, so trust me I ate my words long before a retarded thread on a forum dude.

Would have thought Miami would be in better condition to handle the heat but they're having a hard time even lining up on D.

Miami Red Zone play calling absolutely horrible. Whoever called that 4th down play should be fired.

Welker with 99 yard TD reception! Brady toasted Miami players 28 and 27 all night.

511 yards and counting + 4 TDs, it feels good to have Brady in fantasy every year, and he's never high up on the draft list next year so I can always get him again.

I think Brady got tired of hearing how Cam Newton threw for more yards in his first game than Brady ever did, so he had to put up an insane game like this.

Ocho hasn't done much but he hasn't hurt anything, having more weapons is never really a bad thing.

Also doesn't look like the Pats need to "stretch the field" to score

Davone Bess had a play that was ruled a TD on the field, but he was really a 1/2 yard short. They didn't make it on 4th and inches. Brady then threw a 99 yard touchdown to Wes Welker.

I really thought Miami got better this offseason, but I'm not so sure they did anymore. I mean, the Pats are a great team so you do have to take that into account, but it seems like Miami still has the same flaws it has had over the last few years.

After review, TD was called back and ball placed on the one. On fourth down, Henne tried to isolate a WR on the left but just threw it out of bounds.

First play by NE on their one was an empty backfield with Miami doing an all out blitz, bomb to Welker for a TD.

Took two minutes for Welker's TD to go up on Wikipedia record page.

I hope Brady can get another 44 yards passing tonight.
