Key Injuries: Edelman (NE), Tannehill (MIA), Parker (MIA), Albert (MIA)
It was a slow game in this backup battle, but it was one of my favourite games on 17 so far, my defense has been killer these first 2 weeks, we have yet to allow an opposing offense score on us yet, outscoring opponents 61-16. I've been riding my defense with Jimmy G, playing the game manager role with him, leaning on Blount who has surprisingly been amazing for me, just trying to keep afloat until Brady's back. I really like how my defense is playing the classic New England bend but don't break style, there's been many times where the opponent has been at the doorstep of the end zone but we always find a way to create a turnover, happened in this game, Miami had a strong opening drive, made it to my 7 yard line and then we got after Matt Moore and he fumbled, changed the game, I will be streaming some games this week so I'll post in here if anyone is interested in tuning in, love this years game.
