Williams took away more Douglas snaps today...



Base WR package seems to be Boutte/Hollins/Diggs right now

Better job by the OL led to a much more productive running game.

Was thinking the field would really be in shoddier condition but it didn't look as bad as what I thought. I heard it rained like crazy down there yesterday.

21-13 Broncos over Colts

13-3 Cardinals over Panthers

Holy shit our defense sucks.

Never seen a kicker miss two extra points in a row before.

But after today looks like we might be going to the Super Bowl.

They really need to have Gonzo in there, in order to force opposing QBs to hold the ball longer.

Doesn’t feel like we are seeing Gonzo anytime soon. And I think Dugger needs to get some more snaps. Hawkins and Woodson seem to have issues with inside/outside leverage plays.

Based upon absolutely nothing other than "Miami's a bad place for a first game back", I'm predicting that Gonzo's back this week.

communication?

Looks like…. But on one Hill (the big one) reception, I saw Woodson getting caught cutting the wrong way….and was unable to come over to the other side to help. Austin was on an island too much for my liking.

You never want to put too much credit or too much of the blame on the QB, but tonight we lost the game because of our QB. Growing pains I suppose, but we need him to take care of the football. Too many erroneous throws

In a celebratory New England Patriots locker room following a 33-27 win over the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium, where music was blaring and players celebrated owner Robert Kraft presenting Mike Vrabel a game ball for his first win as New England's coach, receiver Stefon Diggs took stock of another top storyline of the day.

A top question was how quarterback Drake Maye would respond after an up-and-down season opener.

"[He's] growing up. I feel like he made a jump from last week, just settling in," Diggs said. "It's hard being a young quarterback, but I feel like he is doing the best job he can, and obviously four incompletions, that's something to be happy about."...

Patriots' Drake Maye shows clear improvement in win at Miami

And the fumbles...

Andy Borregales is a roller-coaster and other leftover Patriots thoughts
