When the Patriots sleepwalk their way to victory here over an undermanned and banged-up Dolphins team, you’ll hear all the cliches about division games being so tough and the challenge presented by Miami.
Don’t believe it.
Miami is not good and the Patriots, TODAY, are just a little better.
Halftime Grades
Offense
Line (C-) … The Miami line has taken over.
backs (B) … Kevin Faulk A+++, the rest inc.
Receivers (B+) … Wes Welker is the best football player on the field … again.
QB (C) … Brady isn’t workng with much, what with rookie Vontae Davis taking Randy Moss out of the game. But the QB hasn’t dazzled.
Defense
Line (C) … No pressure, and Miami has chugged for 76 yards on 13 carries
Linebackers (D) … Still no sight of Gary Guyton, Jerod Mayo and Adalius Thomas
Defensive backs (C-) … Give Pat Chung credit for a sack. The rest has been ugly.
