Just that there was no line available yet, it generally happens when there's a question mark over a big player - i.e. Roethlisberger.

The spread is available for both of those games in Vegas now so I've edited the OP.

Well that's a great start, my internet connection & speed is grand, but Gamepass can't play for 2 seconds without buffering.:(

I love the thursday night montages like the patriots one there!

JaMarcusHustle

Good God that's a horrible intro. CBS have no production value at all. They lag so far behind the other networks when it comes to football.

Realt Dearg Sec

That thing with the patriot fan school kids was so relentlessly ****ing obnoxious I can't believe it. I want the dolphins to beat the patriots so that all those kids cry.

Go Tom, go Patriots!!!

Not to mention the commentary. Well jeem if the dolpheens are gonna win here they need to get scores from that patriot defence.

love that from new england talk all week about the dolphins d-line getting good so they just run it up the middle twice for a first

thats just football commentary in general to be fair a lot of the commentary seems like its designed for radio just really obvious stuff

JaMarcusHustle

God I love Dion Lewis. Can't remember taking to a free agent as quickly as him.

JaMarcusHustle

GRONK!!

Ah no he's way worse.

Gronk again.... He's really something else.

I'm way out in the sticks, my broadband is generally grand apart from game time of course. Right now it's working fine so fingers crossed.

Our secondary is woeful, 2nd & 15 or 3rd & 90 and you'll still get the 1st down.

JaMarcusHustle

Jones now leading the NFL in sacks. Not a bad contract year!

It'll be the reason we could lose in the playoffs.
Not sure why Miami are running the ball against this secondary. Logan Ryan should be targeted until he actually does something.

Paully D

That move from Lewis! :eek: Definition of an ankle-breaker.

JaMarcusHustle

Bloody hell, Lewis is the most elusive player we've probably ever had. He's unbelievable.

Can't see him getting the contract in NE, not with Hightower and Collins to be resigned.

The most unstoppable play in the NFL. The Tom Brady QB sneak.

wow did brady just miss a sneak :eek:

edit: never mind not close

Second only to Tom. :pac:

hard to leave him go though the guys a monster and seems to be getting better annually knowing the pats they will likley end up getting him on a massive home discount

Home discount is the only way he stays IMO. Not doubting his talent, but priorities may need to be focused elsewhere. Plus, I reckon he'll get a big deal somewhere else.

GRONK was right, should have got the call there, clearly being held.

Paully D

The hour earlier kick-off really is a godsend.

the **** was that pouncey

Christ almighty that's embarrassing.

Yeah, that camera shot was the view the ref had. Pretty clear.

raze_them_all_

Pats are going to utterly destroy the dolphins in this, I'm calling a 3 score game

j8wk2feszrnpao

Josh, why do you call those plays to Blount? Let him hit it up or just let Tom throw it (or get Lewis in there). Blountd lack of burst is there to be exposed when it's popped back to him.

JaMarcusHustle

Why on earth do we have tosses and sweeps to Blount in our playbook?

Ya it was clear as day in the replay minutes later. Still waiting to see the replay of that 15 yard penalty for clipping, assuming it happened of course.
