New England Patriots vs the Miami Dolphins

Patriots 14-0 The quest for perfection continues today as the Pats take on the hapless Miami Dolphins at Gillette stadium this afternoon at 4:15 PM EST. The Dolphins are 1-13 and finally recorded their first victory last week against the Baltimore Ravens. They defeated the Ravens at home in front of many players from the 1972 undefeated season, that team went 17-0. Interestingly the Dolphins beat the Ravens by more points than the Pats did.

With the Dolphins finally garnishing a victory I believe other than pride they will be playing for a chance to preserve their franchise's record of 14-0 in 1972 during the regular season. They ended up 17-0 with a Super Bowl Victory.

The Dolphins just added Bill Parcells as their Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Does this give the Dolphins that extra bump for the game today? Will Jason Taylor play as he has a bum foot. Brady regards him as one of the most feared players he has ever faced. Jason Taylor would look great in Patriots Blue and Silver wouldn't he?

Tom Brady Pats QB If the rain holds off today look for Brady to light it up via the air today as the Pats only need 35 points to break the league record for total points scored. Ironically Randy Moss played on that team when he was with the Minnesota Vikings in his rookie season of 1998.

I have a few of Randy's rookie cards and I wonder if they are gaining value as he is having a great season and he only needs 3 TD catches to tie Jerry Rice. Brady needs 5 TD passes to break Peyton Manning's record of 49 touchdown passes. Who would have thought that record would be in jeopardy with 2 games remaining.

The Pats are sending 8 players to the Pro Bowl while in the NFC the Cowboys are sending 11. Does that mean the NFC is that weak?

I really thought Wes Welker deserved to have been selected but there are other great players also selected.

Predicting the score will be tough today as the weather is iffy and it looks like the Pats may have to look to Laurence Maroney again to take the work load.

Look for the Pats to win 27-10. If the rain holds off and Brady is able to throw effectively and if they take a big lead early they just might break the league points total at home. Really, what else do they have to play for?

PERFFECTION to say the least as the quest for the Super Bowl is Paramount.

GO PATS!!!!!

Always been a Pats fan - especially when I lived in North Attleboro and could spin up the road to the stadium at Foxboro. Gotta love 'em!

I was watching one of the sports channels today and they had an interesting statistic... The last REGULAR season game that New England loss came last year from none other than... drum roll please... The Miami Dolphins... very interesting... Should be a good game as Miami has nothing other than pride to play for...

Not a pats fan, but don't see anyone beating them this time around. And not Miami today. Like the red sox though, especially when the make the Steinbrenner's look like who they are.

cheers

Jay, Being born and raised in Miami and watching the downward spirial of the Dolphins really hurts. I can only see the hiring of the "Tuna" as a benifit because the owner of the Dolphins is a great businessman but lacks the football skills to bring a team together. I hope this will help.

As far as the game today on paper the Pats should blow out the phins but as you know you can throw out the stats when these teams play.

Oh by the way if the Pats do go all the way.. I do believe just like Bond's they Should have the *

Can Miami even keep this game close? Whats the weather like for the game?

Go Pats...I can't wait for the game but I did want to take a ride to the beach...full moon rising today. Remember???

Jay - Love your series promoting the Pats. I will be down at the stadium today hoping for the rain to hold off. I have a feeling we are going to put a real pasting on them.

Matt - Your belief that the Pats should have an * is silly. Why... because they had a camera in a spot in a place they shouldn't have and got caught? Please...every team in the NFL was doing this prior to the memo sent down by the league office to stop. So the Pats enjoyed exactly 1/4 of one game that helped them in no way. This years Pats are one of the best teams to ever suit up. The camera is meaning less. The media likes dirty laundry and that is the only reason it gets brought up. It's something to talk about. If the Pats had lost a few games it wouldn't even be getting mentioned. I smell a little bit of jealousy in the air.

I just want to say to ALL the Pat fans Jay,Guy and everyone best of luck today 16-0 is unreal!

Take your mortgage, your car title, your IRA , your bank book and put it on the dolphins . If they do not win I think they will cover. This may e the last comment I make on rain pending the outcome I may have to go underground

Jay --If they add Jason to their roster next season as they did Wes last--that would just add to their front office prowess --its really were they excel. Go Pats!

Carol, what brought you to Toledo? Do you miss New England?

Brian, yes the Dolphins beat the Pats 21-0 last yr. in Miami. Pats historically struggle in Miami.

Gary or Richard, Love the Sox too, especially when they beat the Yanks.

Matthew, we love to cheer aginst the Dolphins and the"spygate" issue did nothig but rev up the Patriots engines as they are out to prove a point. No asterisck is necessary as I believe they have paid the price for breaking the rules.

Dave, rain is supposed to hold off until after the game, the wind is supposed to pick up and be very breezy after the half. Pats will need to score early and often.

Monika, the cloud cover will be enough to keep us from seeing the moonrise. Sorry.

Bill, thanks for the kudos. Enjoy the game and stay dry and warm. You are right on about the "spygate issue on your comment to Matthew.

Dave, as the Pats say, one game at a time let's hope for 15-0 today and then next Saturday we'll talk about 16-0.

Charlie, thanks for stopping by and the more I see reports coming out of Foxborough the more I think they will crush the Dolphins.

Aziz, yes, Scott Peoli and the front office do an amazing job bringing great talent to the Pats. Peoli is the son in-law of Parcells and rumors are flying around here that he may jump ship. They say Parcells and Peoli hav epatched up their differences along with Belichick too. I think Peoli stays here.

Go Pats.

Merry Christmas to all.

Jay & Monika -- looks like a very exciting game -- especially because the weather is up in the air as well. We have friends coming to watch the game -- If you get any further insight into the score -- let me know and I will place a bet. Have a great day! Merry Christmas Joan

Jeff, one hour to game time!!!!

The weather is not good, but at least it isn't freezing like the last few games.

Joan, LOL you bet? LOL

George, who's Jeff?

I think Miami's only chance today is if they can grind it out, control the clock, and get a couple of big turnovers. Of course, there's a better chance it will be warmer in New England than Miami on Christmas Day!

John, LOL you are right about the weather vs a Dolphin win.

Oh man you are good Jay. That score was pretty close to the reality.

Jay .......... LOL

I had just finished commenting on Jeff Dowler's blog and my brain was still registering Jeff in stead of Jay. Sorry :)

No problem George, I just figured you had a "yankee ism." LOL

Thanks Moni, I do love my Pats.

This was another step Jay...just 4 more wins to go!Perfect regular season should conclude in the meadowlands next week!

Go Pats!

You are pretty damn good at those predictions Jay. Did you think the Bears were going to blow out Green Bay?

Hi Rick, yes the Pats have only 4 more to go. Will you be devastated if they lose Saturday?

Hi Dave, you kidding? LOL That was a big surprise, I am sure the bookies made out on that game big time.

One More in the regular season, and they we well see.

Hi Dave, one more and then the fun begins. I am glad we have home field advantage and we don't have to play Jacksonville. Looks like they are peaking at the right time.

Extended forecast looks like rain again on Saturday. Pats to break a few more records on Saturday.

Giants also ruine dthe '34 Bears undefeated season too.

Jay Sorry I didn't comment sooner. Moving just messes up my schedule. Go Pats. Undefeated in 2007.
