Game day! Let's see if my #Patriots have their 5,000th improbable comeback of the season. #Brady!

The #Patriots have won the toss but will defer to the second half.

#Patriots defense started shaky, but they hold the #Dolphins up for the punt.

Tell me the #pats don’t look like 2001 team with these screens and runs right now on this drive. #Patriots
— Adrien Duka (@TheClownPrince7) December 15, 2013
New #Patriots drinking game: do a shot every time the commentators mention that Gronk's out for the season.
— M.J. Fifield (@MJSaysWhat) December 15, 2013
Hey Boyce, ever wonder how your fellow rookies ended up in the DL??? Word to the wise, don't drop the ball. #Patriots
— Courtney Feeney (@cfeeney17) December 15, 2013
That was a phenomenal drive by the #Patriots. A shame that they have to settle for three. Miami's D steps up when it counts. Pats up 3-0
— PatriotsLife (@PatriotsLife) December 15, 2013
Another defensive stop! #Patriots

— Sean Glennon (@SeanGlennon) December 15, 2013
3 and out. Guess it is the first half. #patriots
— Courtney Feeney (@cfeeney17) December 15, 2013
Nice sack for Arrington! #Patriots
— Jeff Garvey (@Mule_Rock) December 15, 2013
#Patriots collapse pocket, pressure comes from outside. Draw play, 11 yard pass, punt. Sacks are drive killers.

Damn staring on the 1, let's get to work fellas 👍 #Patriots

Do the #Patriots think the see-thru pants will distract the #Dolphins? @Edelman11 needs some compression shorts STAT! #PatsGetExposed

Brady to complete to Edelman but excellent form tackle by Grimes keeps the #Patriots from converting on 3rd. Allen to Punt
— Rhett Lewis (@Rhett7News) December 15, 2013
Huge sack by Jones!! #Patriots
— Ben Bastian (@b_bas) December 15, 2013
Well I've never seen that before. The snap for the field goal bounced right off the holder's face mask. #Dolphins #Patriots

Two-minute warning strikes, but this has been the Amendola drive for #Patriots: three catches, 48 yards.
— Lorenzo Reyes (@Lorenzo_G_Reyes) December 15, 2013
Hoooo Man Touchdown! One handed! #Patriots

What a spectacular catch by the TE whose name I don't have a chance in hell of spelling correctly! ! #patriots
— daddyfiles (@DaddyFiles) December 15, 2013
#Patriots look all too eager to blow a great defensive first half in under a minute.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 15, 2013
Wow, touchdown Miami. Let that be the last one. #Patriots
— Andrew Collet (@AndrewCollet) December 15, 2013
Cole and Gregory couldn't get out of eachh other's way..Wallace to the endzone. #Dolphins on the board, trail #Patriots 10-7
— Rhett Lewis (@Rhett7News) December 15, 2013
#Patriots go into the half w/ 10-7 lead. NE gets the ball to start the 3Q. #Dolphins grabbed momentum on the Wallace TD. Game up for grabs
— Derek Havens (@PatriotsHaven) December 15, 2013
#patriots lead at the half 10-7. Still, would be 10-0 if the NE defensive secondary wasn't a complete sieve.
— Paul Rickter (@rickterp) December 15, 2013
Not a good way to end what was originally a pretty solid first half. #patriots reeling at halftime. That defense just makes you nervous.
— Bobby Manning NESB (@RealBobManning) December 15, 2013
WE ARE 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM ANOTHER DIVISION TITLE - LETS GET THIS DONE!! #patriots
— Red Sox Fan (@BostonStrong9) December 15, 2013
#Patriots stall at the 30, Gostkowski on for a 48 FG. Kyle Arrington is now back on the sidelines
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) December 15, 2013
Drop or not, once again the 3rd-down pass was short anyway. And then Gostkowski blows it... #patriots
— Marcus Blumberg (@MarcusBlumberg) December 15, 2013
Can we send the defense back to middle school to teach them how to tackle #patriots
— Jen Lynn (@jenlynn617) December 15, 2013
Wondering when Pats secondary will show for game today Dennard / Arrington / even Talib .. Sad. #Patriots
— S Freehan (@sefbos) December 15, 2013
#Dolphins get the snap and kick right on this field goal. Miami ties the game with the #Patriots, 10-10.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) December 15, 2013
This is the kind of gm that makes you want to launch your tv thru the nearest window. Screaming at D really wears you out. #Patriots
— Scott Wiggins (@penois) December 15, 2013
Man the #Patriots could really use a pep talk. From Richie Incognito.
— AMC (@_peacefulriot_) December 15, 2013
If Boyce has the same growing pains that Dobson/KT had with contested catches earlier this season, the timing is really bad. #Patriots
— Matthew Quimby (@bwompbwomp) December 15, 2013
#Patriots have lost all momentum. Cam Wake with a big third-down sack to force the punt
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) December 15, 2013
#Patriots must have realised they were leading before the 4th. Sorting that out right now anyway
— Adam McMaster (@adammcmaster) December 15, 2013
...annddddd Tannehill is picking our defense apart #Patriots #NEvsMIA
— Sam Plummer (@splummer84) December 15, 2013
Defensive backfield has sprung a leak.
Someone needs to make a play.
#Patriots
— Wyld Bill (@wyldbill77) December 15, 2013
I don't think the refs threw enough flags at Dane Fletcher for that DPI. I only saw three hankies come flying in. #Patriots #Dolphins
— Big D (@BigD_TVF) December 15, 2013
End of 3rd quarter, #Dolphins with a first-and-goal upcoming and chance to take lead on #Patriots.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) December 15, 2013
#Dolphins fake the reverse and Tannehill finds Daniel Thomas for the 2-yard TD. Miami about to go up 17-10 on #Patriots.
— Lorenzo Reyes (@Lorenzo_G_Reyes) December 15, 2013
Come on, Pats. Let's not wait for the final second to come back. We need to get this. Now. #Patriots #nomercy
— Merry-anne Young (@Bettykiss) December 15, 2013
So the #Patriots will have to come from behind to win.... Why should this week be any different? #BeenThereDoneThat

Brady getting into a groove, cmon boys lets tie this game with a TD! #Patriots
— Curtis Panke (@C_Panke) December 15, 2013
The #Patriots have to settle for a field goal as they can't convert on 3rd and 2. Stephen Gotskowski nails a 23 harder, Miami leads 17-13.
— Davey Segal (@harvicknut_4) December 15, 2013
...okay defense your turn #Patriots need a big stop!!!!!...

Did Amendola change the pronunciation of his name like Brad Marchand but I wasn't aware of it? #Patriots #Dolphins #NFL

#Patriots secondary couldn't stop a high school team.
— Brian Lavall (@blavall) December 15, 2013
Marcus Thigpen catches a pass that was lofted right over the head of Hightower. #Patriots trail 24-20.

#Patriots down 4. 75 seconds left. 3 timeouts. I think The Hoodie just said "hey, y'al...watch this".

Fourth down for the game. #Dolphins call their final timeout. 7 seconds left, #Patriots at 14-yard line, down 24-20.

Comeback miracle finally doesn't happen for #Patriots.

Thomas intercepts Brady in endzone, Miami d#Dolphins wins 24-20 over #Patriots! Happy #Broncos fan...
— Doug (@Husky2525) December 15, 2013
#Patriots dont deserve the win. Having said that, the tackle of Hoho man in the end zone in the final series makes the NFL a joke.
— bostonsocks (@bostonsocks) December 15, 2013
Don't blame the refs today. Four shots inside the 15....you have to complete one of them #patriots
— Adam Rivers (@adamrivers) December 15, 2013
Stephen Gostkowski cost the #patriots this game and a division title clinch. Missing the FG & then illegal procedure? Goddammit!!
— daddyfiles (@DaddyFiles) December 15, 2013
Man. Defense couldn't hold. Gostkowski made huge mistakes. Just an ugly, disappointing #Patriots loss.
— Joe Harrington (@Joes0s) December 15, 2013
44 guys weren't good enough today. Tom Brady almost won this game himself. #Patriots

#Patriots you guys are my team, ride or die, but today you disappointed me with that game. #PatriotsNation
— Cody✌ (@_Cody_Ray) December 15, 2013
Instead of passing blame, face reality. The talent level on this team is average in most positions. And weak in key spots. #Patriots

#Patriots Belichik tells it like it is, "We weren't good enough. That's all there is to it."
