- 1d Mike Reiss (X) One theme of Mike Vrabel’s interview with @TheGregHillShow was how knee-jerk reactions to bench/cut players often turn out to be over-aggressive (e.g. Rhamondre Stevenson, Drake Maye etc.). In his 11:30a press conference, Vrabel struck a similar chord with kicker Andy Borregales (missed 40-yard FG, now 10-of-13 on FGs, 20-of-21 on PATs). “That needs to get corrected and I have a lot of confidence in Andy,” he said. “I think when you see the timing, and when the approach is in rhythm, it looks really good. So we have to make our kicks. Everyone has a job here. … “I thought he did a real nice job on the kickoff, the ball placement. Hopefully he’s making a lot of extra points …”

- In this year's trade market, the best move the #Patriots can make is adding an EDGE who primarily boosts their 4-man pass rush (good yesterday but lagging this year), but can also help on all 3 downs. Go get Khalil Mack. From Sunday👇
- Winners and losers from the Patriots' win over the Dolphins.
- Dolphins defensive snap counts vs. Patriots. Kyle Louis got some run defensively yesterday.
- Miami Dolphins offensive snap counts vs. Patriots.
- That's regular season only, though, because they scored 55 in three quarters against the Dolphins in the 2000 playoffs.
- The real MVP of yesterday’s Dolphins-Patriots game was the Hard Rock Stadium field and drainage system. It rained all day in South Florida. No significant slippage from players. No puddles splashing with every step. Just unaffected ball.

- 2d Omar Kelly (X) Ollie Gordon II just made a mistake that could cost his team the victory. Up by 3 midway through the 3rd quarter, talking smack to a Patriots defender got him flagged for a 15 yard personality for unsportsman like conduct. The Dolphins failed to convert on third down and forever and had to put. How will Gordon respond?

- When the Pats trailed 13-3 at half, Maye had almost no proven WRs or TEs left and Miami pass rushers were all but trick-or-treating in the pocket, I kept thinking about this quote from Oct. 1. Three days later, Maye led a late comeback. Tonight, he did it again.

- Sack party for the Patriots.
- I still cannot believe Chris Johnson missed that sack.
- The #Patriots have already played more 3-nickel safety today than they did in most prior games. I'd guess to split the difference between their pass struggles in base and so-so run D in 3-corner nickel. Another reason seen on that 2nd down: spying Willis with No. 3 safety Jaylen Reed.
- The Eagles' RBs are so banged up that fantasy managers just might get to witness a throwback find relevance — did you think we'd be talking about Jaydon Blue or Elijah Mitchell as potential "league-winners" in 2026? @fftylero.bsky.social & @popesffh.bsky.social are definitely here for these vibes 😂
