Twitter reacts to Patriots getting rolled by Dolphins in 20-17 loss
Heading into Sunday’s season-opener, the New England Patriots had lost their previous three games to the Miami Dolphins. They already had their back on the ropes as underdogs, but as always, the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick are not to be underestimated.
Even after an ugly training camp and preseason, there was hope that the Patriots would ultimately figure things out and put the puzzle together on the fly in meaningful football games.
But that clearly didn’t happen in this matchup with the scoreboard reading 20-7 at the end of the matchup. The Patriots got rolled for a fourth consecutive time by the division rival Dolphins.
As expected, Twitter was full of mostly skepticism with a little optimism following another disappointing performance by a Patriots team that still has more questions than answers right now.
It was a rough day for the Patriots

The New England Patriots are back to where they were without Tom. A sorry excuse for a team and organization. #Patriots #PhinsUp

New England’s offense was reportedly bad all camp and today it came full circle.
A bad plan by Belichick and 1 week in the results were awful.#Patriots #NFL

Context clues suggest that the New England Patriots are not good at football this year.

The Miami Dolphins have not lost a game to the New England Patriots since I’ve been divorced. I sacrificed for us all. #FinsUp

The Patriots offense looked as anemic as their fans feared though they did go against a good defense in Miami. New England has now lost 8 of their last 11 in Miami. New England still looks slow athletically like they did in the Wild Card game vs the #Bills

I'm from the era when an 8-8 season was cause for celebration and Patriots gear wasn't worn outside of the 6 New England states…
Now we're here. The franchise has 6 Super Bowl banners.
They couldn't even get into "Tecmo Bowl" back in 1989!

Tua Tagovailoa renews his ownership of the New England Patriots, a team he has never lost to.

Lots of people will run with the narrative that the New England Patriots are a bad football team. It's not true. Pats are simply no longer good enough to overcome missed opportunities, bad penalties, and especially turnovers. Currently 0-1, but 16 still to be played. #ForeverNE

And with the first overall pick of the NFL draft the New England Patriots select…

Betting your hard earned money on the New England Patriots is absolutely insane behavior and you need to be evaluated by a professional.

Just goes to show, the 2022 New England Patriots are a boys’ club, not a football team.
