Well I was the only person to vote that Michel would have the best day so I still have a little hope.

I need to start waiting until game day to vote...

I suppose I am now rooting for Harry as no-one has picked him yet. Would also be nice to see him continue on his upward trend.

To say this is a major game for us is a understatement. I'll just quote my thoughts from our thread but I think we're in for a close one:

They won in Week 1, but we're both different teams now. The Patriots are nearly eliminated from postseason contention. Meanwhile, while we would make the playoffs if they ended today, due to a brutal Week 14, it's extremely likely we'll need to win out to make the playoffs. This is a game we absolutely cannot afford to lose. And the Pats would love to play spoilers to us in our own house.

Offensively, Tua continues to emerge and will face yet another stingy defense in New England's. And he may be without both of his favorite targets as DeVante Parker and Mike Gesicki both nurse injuries sustained against Kansas City. This will certainly be a test to see how scrappy the rookie can get. Thus, our WR and TE depth will continue to get tested coming in against one of the league's better secondaries. Thankfully our RBs should be off the COVID list and ready to go... Myles Gaskin in particular very well may be a critical part of the offense this week in both the running and passing game.

Defensively, assuming Cam Newton plays, they're going to be able to move the ball on the ground. He torched us in Week 1 and we've gotten no better at defending against scrambling QBs since then. We should be getting Van Noy back for this matchup, which will be a big boon since he's our best Linebacker overall.

Must win game for us to stay alive... playoffstatus.com has our chance of the playoffs dropping to just 6% if we lose. Especially considering our injuries, this game is absolutely not a gimme. In fact, I like our chances against Las Vegas next week better all things considered. I think ultimately, in Miami, we take it though.

Miami 23

Hoping for a good game with no injuries!

Tua is looking very accurate 

[Deadpulse]

and theres the big rookie mistake

[The Third Rider]

Wow, we needed that!!

[IheartMyV8]

Ahh the benefits of pressure 

[The Third Rider]

Cam could be a full back.

[m haynes]

Cam Newton refuses to look at Keene who has been wide open last two plays

[The Third Rider]

Cam doesn't go through all his reads, i've noticed that for a few games.

Ive seen it too, but on the first one Meyers was open on his first read

[Deadpulse]

Well, this is exactly the kind of game we win, so that is encouraging.
