NFL: Will the Pats put up 50+ points on the Dolphins next Sunday?

[Trap Jesus]

Dolphins gave up 6 passing TDs and a perfect passer rating to Lamar Jackson and RG3 and 59 points overall to the Ravens.

Patriots will be inserting Antonio Brown into the lineup next week. Do you think the Patriots will put up 50+ points? This game will be in Miami.

No, Belichick will show mercy on Flores

 

[ORRFForever]

When I was young, year after year, the one thing you could count on was the Dolphins being good to very good to PERFECT.

With Shula at the helm, and either Griese or WoodStrock or Marino, the team was a treat to cheer for.

Now... for decades, nothing but garbage.

Belichick won’t fake punt up 35-3 against Flores. IMAGINE if someone did that to Harbaugh. f***ing hypocrite.

That's literally happened to Harbaugh before.

 

[N o o d l e s]

That's literally happened to Harbaugh before.

I’m surprised he didn’t demand a rule change

 

[BlueDream]

Patriots could start their backup QB and probably still win 30-0.

Brady might not even play a full 2 quarters.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I say no. I predict they will finish in the high 30's-early 40's. No way the stars are playing in the 4th Q.

The Pats have a bit of a history of either somehow losing or just barely winning games they were expected to 'dominate' (see the Lions game a year ago) but the Dolphins are just sooo bad and by all accounts, the locker room is already in shambles with the mutiny talk...

 

[pockets]

I don’t think Belichick will run it up on Flores. I agree with @Marc the Habs Fan we’ll probably see something like 38 to 44 points from the Pats.

the fake punt was harbaugh's way of saying **** you to the fins for kiko alonso's dirty hit on flacco a few years ago

 

[PanthersPens62]

Bad as the Dolphins are, the Pats always struggle in Miami. It will be closer than many think.

 

[Sens]

Agreed... something like 45-10

 

[John Price]

Watch Dolphins pull off a huge upset

 

[Tuggy]

No.

Teams putting up 50+ doesn't happen very often.

 

[Voight]

I’m surprised he didn’t demand a rule change

Eric DeCosta is the GM, not Bill Polian

Likewise, Steve Bisciotti is the owner, not Jim Painkiller Irsay

 

[Ozamataz Buckshank]

the Patriots offensive line is a huge question mark right now. The Dolphins can take advantage of that as the Patriots work through integrating AB into the offense.

 

[JeremyTB]

Brown will whine if they don't throw him the ball when they are up by 4 touchdowns.

If we're talking about the O-line as it pertains to passing offense, Brady has always been amazing at getting the ball off quickly when he needs to and New England has so many good check-down options.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

The Patriots generally struggle in Miami. This could definitely end up like 30-13 where it feels like it should be worse than it actually was.

If they didn't have the miami miracle happen last year I'd agree with you.

But that's still fresh in their minds. A 14-17 point win seems like the likeliest outcome

I meant 30-13 Pats.

In no way do I think Miami will win, just that it won't be Baltimore part 2

 

[Scandale du Jour]

No. Patriots will try and control the time of possession. They won't go quick strike offense. No need to.

35-40 max.

 

[John Price]

Fitzmagic goes Fitzmagic

Miami 56
Patriots 53

There's a variable people are missing from yesterday. John Harbaugh holds a grudge against the Dolphins after Kiko Alonso tried to kill Joe Flacco two years ago.

He was going all out to run up the score, especially considering he sent Lamar Jackson out for the second half despite it being 42-3 and kept him in up until about 7 min left in the 4th quarter. I have no problem with them running the score (have a problem? stop them) even if Harbaugh was being a bit reckless with potentially putting his QB in danger in garbage time.

New England isn't really one for grudges, or running up the score (not Belichick's fault he's had a few big score games when he pulled his starters) so i don't see them dropping 50+ 40? Maybe. the Pats scored 20 in a half against a far better team than Miami so....

BB will treat it as practice once out of reach for Miami. AB will need to get up to speed so I expect him to get looks later in the game.After the score is run up unintentionally BB will say in a presser there is no such thing as a safe lead in this league.
