The first series of 4 downs was really bad. The long snap to Fields was shoe top, and then bobbled by Fields resulting in a short run and putting NE in great position to storm the castle. At that point I thought about going into the garage and hitting my finger with a hammer just to have a distraction from the game.
However, I turned to my son, and he smirked and just shook his head.
As it turned out, the blowout by NE that I expected, failed. The D did a pretty good job. The big defensive let down was that long 7-minute drive in the 4th quarter (on the ground) that sealed the game for NE.
When the Dolphins can do that to an opponent we will be a legit contender.
