The Patriots/Dolphins Game Was Fixed! Might as Well Say It...

[Eddy Munny]

For whatever reason it was the Patriots responsibility to roll over and play dead today, I guess because the league wanted to give the Chiefs a bye this year since they always end up playing in Foxboro.

This was basically a playoff game for New England (so they could bypass the wildcard round and advance directly to the divisional round) and they were flat as a pancake against one of the league's worst teams. Little chance this was just an upset because upsets happen.

Case in point, the Patriots were tied 10-10 late in the first half and the Dolphins had just conceded a possession by running on 3rd and long with around 1:45 on the clock... Patriots had ALL THREE TIMEOUTS and swallowed them.

Since when does a team who just forced a punt and has their full allotment of timeouts just say "fukk it" and head to the locker-room in a tie ballgame? Especially a team with championship pedigree and Tom Brady at the helm?

LOL game was fake af

So rigged man.

I realize that, but that was against some mediocre to bad competition... Their defense has been consistently abysmal throughout. Today the Patriots made them look like a playoff team in a game that mattered. They didn't even try. Pats players and coaches were zombies.

Just like Seattle last week at home vs zona.

NE will go to KC in the 2nd round now, I will be on chiefs in that game

Lakerboy had +17 for 5 units and 2 units on Miami ML. It was one of the plays he didn't post.

SB51 ATL up 28-20... 3rd down pass puts them in position to kick a 50 yard FG with old reliable Bryant in a dome to go up 2 scores again with couple min left in game

flag... holding ATL... back em up. leads to punt. u know the rest.


SB53 3-3 game in 4th Q... Rams break off a 15+ yard run to move ball into pats territory and grab momentum in game...

flag... holding Rams. back em way up 1st and 20. kill momentum. stall out drive. leads to punt and Pats scoring next time on offense.

penetrate THE PATRIOTS

They played another mediocre team today. Dunno how anyone can call fix when they been cheating for pats for years?

He been posting all kinds of dog winners. Still looking for one you have posted.

It was the Patriots job to lose today, plain and simple...

I guess they owed the league a favor or two and they held up their end of the bargain.

[nyplayer33]

Nope, thats football

[Snowball]

Fire Belicheck

Hire a real General Manager and Defensive Coordinator

Make Josh McDaniels head coach.

[Eddy Munny]

Nope, thats football

Sure it is.

I dare one person who watched the game to try and cough up an explanation for the timeout blunder I described in the original post. That's completely out of character for Belichick, and to be honest, it's completely out of character for any head coach who enjoys winning and having a job.

But like I said, his job today was to lose and pass the baton to the Chiefs. Well done.

[nyplayer33]

Not rigged. The line would of moved

Or they just not very good. Think we been saying this for a month.

[funnyb25]

Every game fixed

Every game fixed

Especially the Falcons game. You can't throw a pick 6 in OT.

Well if that's the narrative you choose to lean on, so be it. Evidence says otherwise.

We know the Patriots defense has been very good, and Fitz carved them up all day. Drops from his receivers are the only thing that slowed him.

We know the Dolphins defense is 32nd in the league and even the likes of an old dishrag like Eli Manning moved the chains with little effort, yet Brady and company mostly spun their wheels in the mud.

We know that Belichick is cold-blooded assassin who is a meticulous game-manager and pours over every detail with a fine-toothed comb, and yet he just suddenly "forgot" how to coach football at the end of the 1st half when they could've put points on the board. Even the home fans were booing. Inexplicable.

The Pats have historically been the beneficiary of fixes and they've also been mired in scandal, including this year with the Bengals practice fiasco. They owed the league. Today the league wanted them to lose and the Pats obliged. Now the Chiefs have a bye and won't have to go through Foxboro. Corruption at its finest.

[jtoler]

brady vs worst defense in league, fitz vs. best defense in league. fins win, yeah sounds about right. enough fishiness to open a fish market

There no evidence that the pats are good this year. They beat bunch of shitty teams., Fish play them tough one time every year, now their coach knows pats well. Pats offense rates incredibly poorly so dunno why it a surprise?

Yeah but you're ignoring a lot of what I said...

Also the Fins have caught the Patriots in a lot of games that didn't matter in the past. This one obviously did and the Pats wanted no part of winning it. You could tell their whole vibe was off center. Even when they took the late lead, it was clear they weren't intent on protecting it.

[Eddy Munny]

Nobody wants to explain why a legendary coach was being booed on his home field in a tie ballgame?

It wasn't because they were tied, that's not a "boo-able" offense.

Of course I’m ignoring it., impossible for me to take folks serious when they claiming fix.

pats threw the game because the nfl said so, makes sense

1st meeting 43-0 Pats

I’d love to be in the room when someone tells Tom Brady he has to lose on purpose! Something tells me that would not go over well! Lol

[2daBank]

What that matter? What happens in nfl one week doesn’t mean shit for the next. Ya’ll acting like team you think should win always does, and yet none of us retired off gambling winnings. Wonder why?

[lakerboy]

I found out what happened. Dolphins were filming pats practice and saw that new England has no good players so they came up with a game plan to beat them.

You are nothing if not consistent, Mo. The multiple laughing emogi`s. The incredible NFL insight and original thought.
You definitely should have you own show on ESPN.

And then so Belichick left his brain in the glove compartment as a result of this game-plan?

The problem here is nobody actually watched the game.. They've just been conditioned to believe "any given Sunday."

Pats took the dive, clear as day. It's all good, they get to play next week and they'll be back to actually trying to win a game rather than a half-assed dress rehearsal..

[stevek173]

Very good work in here Eddie.

I have you as a top 5 non pro here, video coming up saluting the good non pros later.

Keep it up man.
