Week 17 vs. Miami Dolphins, Jan 2 1:00pm ET

Interesting to see what BB does with the starters. Will special teams run wild again like in Miami? I just have a feeling Brady will play most of the first half. You HAVE to rest Welker. Would also like to see what Fred Taylor can do against a fairly good run defense. Just to see if theres anything left in the tank in case something happens to Law Firm.

I think Patriots win an altogether meaningless game. Patriots aren't able to move the ball in the first half. Brady chews out his guys yelling at them to give them motivation to not lose at home and protect their house. Surprisingly Brady is left in after halftime and comes out to start 3rd quarter and does a TD drive to solidify the lead. Then goes to the bench for 4th quarter. Pats win 24-10

Hope everyone (especially McCourty) sits, dont want to risk injury here.

Yeah, I mean, I really want to see them win. But that shouldn't be difficult, don't push it, just rest them as soon as a win is locked up.

Ron Brace put on IR. :-?

Mike Wright doesn't look like he's going to be back. We're gonna need guys like Kyle Love to continue to step up.

Woodhead fumbled, snapping the streak. Ya had to feel it was coming this game.

But no let down, great start to the game so far. McCourty is now tied for the league lead in interceptions.

Great first half

-Offense looked good as always in the first quarter
-Defense has been great
-Julian Edelman finally gets his touchdown. A dangerous punt returner.

Only negative was the fumble. Now let's put in those back ups and get through the second half.

Go Pats!!!

Hoyer to Tate!

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I love watching games like this, it's kinda like a thank you to our backups. And they're performing well with it.

I like what I see out of Brian Hoyer so far. He looks like he has decent accuracy and isn't gunshy out there.
