I watched that last night and as a Dolphin fan it was pretty demoralizing.

Our defense was slacking and as usual they were not tackling. Pats were routinely breaking first second and third attempts to tackle. Lots of guys just standing around with no second effort.

Dolphins QB would often throw a pass that was out of play. He at least has to give his receiver a chance. Brady was throwing laser bullets. Half yard line and Miami throws it out of bounds, Pats turn around next play and score 99 and half yards

Tom Brady was playing like it was a video game. It was amazing to watch and impossible to stop.

One thing that irked me was how the Pats were in hurry up and snapping the ball before the Dolphins had time to substitute or even get set. That's fine except I distinctly remember a Dolphin game last season where the opponent was substituting and Miami went to snap the ball to catch the other team with 12 players and the Ref stepped in and stopped it. The explanation was the other team should be allowed a reasonable amount of time to get set. The Ref set the ball down and began to step back, saw what was going to happen and then blew the play dead. Inconsistency in rules or judgement calls piss me off.

Still a great game. Over 900 yds total passing by both teams. Miami had a chance the whole game and it wasn't a blowout
