The Dolphins visit the Patriots today and there are several key match-ups that will determine the outcome of this game.
Here are the five match ups to watch today.
Tyreek Hill vs. Jonathan Jones: It is always a good match-up when these two go head to head. Jones has held his own against Hill in recent years and I would expect more of the same this week. Do not expect the Patriots to help Jones much so he will have Jones in man coverage a lot in this game.
The Patriots host the Miami Dolphins today in a pivotal match up for both teams as they try to save their seasons. The Patriots have suffered a bunch of key injuries the past two weeks that will alter the way the way they play on both sides of the ball. Here is the game plan this week against the Dolphins. Offense More gun runs: The Patriots are starting Antonio Gibson…
Kickoff: The Patriots will look to bounce after two back to back abysmal performances against the Jets and 49ers. It will not be easy as the team has been ravaged by injuries. David Andrews, Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers are all out. Andrews is having shoulder surgery and expected to miss the rest of the season.
Head Coach Jerod Mayo announced on Wednesday that longtime center David Andrews needs shoulder surgery and that he is out for the season. The injury is a crushing blow for an offensive line that is already thin and struggling. According to sources, Andrews was seeking second opinions but apparently that is no longer an option. Mayo talked about the impact of the Andrews loss. “It’s tough. One thing about Dave,…

Jacoby Brissett and the offense continue to struggle while the defense is all of a sudden banged up and inconsistent. It all adds up to a second consecutive loss. Here are seven thoughts on the loss to San Francisco. 1. Offensive futility: The offense continues to be a…
The Patriots visit the 49ers today in what is the ultimate match-up game. San Francisco presents a variety of problems at multiple positions. The offensive line will have their hands full with Nick Bosa and the rest of the defense. It will be tough for them to Left Tackle vs. Nick Bosa: It doesn’t matter who lines up across from Bosa in this game, he will win one on one….
Kickoff: Who would have thought these two teams would have the same record going into this game. Alas, here we are. The Patriots will be looking to bounce back after an abysmal loss to the Jets on Thursday Night Football. For the 49ers, they have lost two in a row including a heartbreaker to the Rams last week. The injuries, especially on offense appear to be catching up to them….
MICHAEL REAVES / GETTY IMAGES FOXBOROUGH- It is no secret that the Patriots will have their hands full on Sunday when they take on the San Francisco 49ers. The Shanahan, McVay version of the west coast offense is taking over football. Heck, even the Patriots are running it now. The biggest challenge with the offense is defending all of the movement and motion which makes it hard on a defense…
Image courtesy of Jets Wire I think Jabrill Peppers said it best after the game. The Patriots got their asses kicked. Plain and simple. The Jets beat the Patriots at home for the first time since 2015. It wasn’t pretty. Here are seven points from the Patriots 24-3 loss to the Jets. 1. Offense was anemic: The offense was bad. Plain and simple. Sure, the receivers were more involved but…
