Which 2021 "$%!$ you, we're the Patriots" game was best?

[ctpatsfan77]

As someone on Reddit said about the Bears-Patriots game in 2014:

Ah. We've arrived at this year's "F—k you we're the Patriots" game.

This year, we were treated to three games where the Pats put up a 40 (or 50) burger, and won by 3+ TDs. Which one was your favorite?

 

[TheRainMaker]

They didn’t score 40+, but the Tennessee game was the best win against a winning team.

 

[Pape]

My favorite?

The next one.

I heard it announced that prior to today, no team had put up TWO 50 point games in a single season (not sure how true this is).

I'm curious if there's ever been a season where a team put up Multiple 38+ point wins in the same season..

Pats have done it 3x under Belichick.

But I think Jones is the first rookie to do it (at home, at least).

2007 and 2012.. But in neither of those seasons did they have 3 games won by 38 points or more.

This may sound a little odd now considering how the season has played out, but my first thought was the Cleveland game.

Up until that point the only win against a decent team was two weeks prior, a 3-point win against the Chargers. About the best the national media was saying (in a condescending way) was that the rebuild was going well, with the Patriots 'holding their own' against good teams in close losses.

While the Browns were only 5-4 at the time, they could have easily been 8-2 - and were just coming off a complete annihilation of the Bengals, 41-16 on the road at Cincinnati. The Patriots completely dominated on both sides of the ball after the opening drive, for their fourth win in a row.


Of course a 50-burger against the Jets is always fun, too.

I like watching the Jets suffer especially since Jets fans sat at home wondering if their team selected the wrong QB. But if it wasn't the Jets, I wouldn't have really enjoyed that game.

But I typically hate blowouts against bad teams. They are a bit boring. I barely invested in yesterday's game since the Jags suck so bad. I would rather see a close win against a good team than a blow out against a bad team.

 

[PaulThePat]

After Cleveland's first TD drive to completely dismantle them from that point was very impressive - against what was still seen as a "decent" team with a "good" QB.

Pats have done it 3x under Belichick.

And in '79 under Ron Erhardt

Of course a 50-burger against the Jets is always fun, too.

While I would of course enjoy a third 50-burger Sunday afternoon in Miami, I feel there's a cumulative limit to how much scoring a team does over a period of time

We will need all the points we can get in the playoffs

 

[Toofy]

Cleveland was the game where we showed that we are first among equals.

Great game . And Myles Garrett was a non factor .

 

[Patjew]

The first BUF game was the only time i was fist pumping after the game, so I guess it was that one.

The Chargers game was cool too.

You make some excellent points but you don't mention that the Cleveland game had Mike the Brit in the 300s yelling like a lunatic. I think that closes the case. (I was at the Chicago game in 2014 too. Just sayin'.)

Agree, especially the ones coming in the post season.

Absolutely this one - might be my favorite regular season game I can remember in quite a while!
