Turning Points

Turnovers - Fumble by Pop Douglas inside the 30

                    Interception by Mac Jones inside the 20

Missed opportunities - INT after the blocked punt

                                    - Miami gained yards after the Gonzo INT - 1st play 43 yards TD Moesert

Last Play - Mac under pressure.  Short of the sticks. Heady lateral. missed the 1st down by a yard

Key Take aways

Do we have a Mac Jones problem

Is the O line a fatal flaw ? 

   - Couldn't even trust them to run the ball. 

Name the starting tackles in this game

Do we have a Bill Belichick coaching problem?

   (Billy O scheme problem?)

  What's the floor of the best and worst coach in the league with this roster?

We do have a Bill Belichick GM problem

        Again we are back to lack of play makers and not enough attention shown to the offensive line issues in the offseason

Holding the Dolphins to 24 points is pretty good with 1 starter CB. 

Christian Gonzalez is awesome                     

  - Tyreek Hill 5 for 40 and TD (on Dugger)

Special Teams making an impact

 - The greatest blocked FG in the history of the NFL apparently. 

- The MD kid looks legit.  Punter looks legit.  Golf clap Joe Judge?

Tyreek Hill hates Patriots fans

"Those fans are some of the worst fans in the NFL," Hill said, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. "And I'm going to stand on that; they are real nasty. Some of the things they were saying, I wouldn't say in church. So yeah, it felt great to wave goodbye to the fans, and I'll do it again. Bye."

What is your panic meter at? 

Look ahead

QUICK BREAK

BOTPOD basement conspiracy theory

-get your tinfoil hats boys

-NFL's top running backs hold private meeting to discuss next steps in diminishing market, per report. Running backs aren't getting the money they want these days, so a handful of the NFL's best came together Saturday for a private Zoom meeting to discuss next steps, according to ESPN. Organized by the Chargers' Austin Ekeler, the meeting included the 49ers' Christian McCaffrey, Browns' Nick Chubb, Giants' Saquon Barkley, Raiders' Josh Jacobs and Titans' Derrick Henry.

-Austin Ekeler No timeline' on Austin Ekeler's return from ankle injury. The Chargers will be without Austin Ekeler for the foreseeable future according to Brandon Staley

-Nick Chubb chubb will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury during the team's “Monday Night Football” loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers 

-Saquan Barkley exited the matchup early with an ankle injury. A Monday MRI showed that Barkley suffered an "ordinary" ankle sprain. 

-prediction this week mccaffrey, henrey, or jacobs will get injured this week. 

-don’t go have zoom sessions about starting a coo to get more money because Goodell and the NFL will always win. 

Simplest Minds of the week

 - Justin Fields. Being coached too much

"My goal this week is just to say, 'F it' and go out there and play football how I know to play football," Fields said, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "That includes thinking less and just going out there and playing off of instincts rather than (having) so much info in my head, data in my head. Just literally going out there and playing football."

"They are doing their job when they are giving me what to look at, but at the end of the day, I can't be thinking about that when the game comes," he said. "I prepare myself throughout the week, and then when the game comes, it's time to play free."
