Post Game Thread - Pats beat Vikings

[Patjew]

What is the purpose of the rating system anyway?

To induce angst.

I love it.

Gronk doesn't get open anymore. The plays don't help. Meanwhile, kelce and Ertz are having monster seasons

I wouldn’t mind a “mic drop” rating. Lol.

Kittle is on the rise and he is a beast!

What are you smoking? Tell me what's so ridiculous about saying they finally targetted Gordon late in the 3rd quarter. Or that the defense looked good.

And Brady hasn't looked like his usual self for the majority of the year - so yes, it's been painful to watch that. A wide array of people have also commented on McDaniels' shaky playcalling throughout the year. There's nothing "ridiculous" about any of this.

If you're trolling, you need to to a better job.

If you're not trolling, you've really got to get some education about the game of football, because you're completely clueless.

Sounds like you're too lazy to muster up a reply. At least be honest about it.

My reply was fine, thanks. You're just posting a lot of really silly takes, and a fair chunk of it is ludicrous on its face. That's nobody's problem but your own.

Reading some of the back-and-forths on this thread are funny. Has there ever been an argument on this board after Super Bowl win?

We looked good. Guys were flying on offense and defense, explosive energy from the team today.

You're on another planet if you think that original post was "ludicrious".

In the last four Pats' victories ( ignoring Tenn game as outlier) team is holding opponents well below their average.
Buffalo averaged 16 ppg, PAts held them to 6 points., 10 points below average
Green Bay averaged 24 ppg, Pats held them to 17 pts, 7 points below average
Jets averaged 20/5 points, Pats held them to 13 pts. 7 points below their avverage
Minnesota averaged 24 ppg, PAts held them to 10 points, 14 points below their average

Some on this board are starting to sound like Jetes fans, blaming the OC because they dont march it downfield and score every possession. I know the game has changed but that's unrealistic.

Wait, are there honestly people complaining after this win?
Thanks for saving me the trouble of reading the thread. This place is crazy.

Seems like @QuantumMechanic has my profile set as his home page.

This guy turns on his computer and starts clicking 'disagree' on every post I make. Not once does he even reply to talk about what he disagrees with - which is the entire purpose of a forum.

Sad life.

Meh, mostly I consider random unexplained disagrees and dislikes to be kind of a badge of honor, when you've spoken an unfortunate truth. Then there's the occasional times it's self evident why someone did it. Which, you know, in your case is probably pretty often.

even on the sideline too wink wink

I see some back and forth in regard to the game plan. The play calling was fine, even though the scoreboard wasn't deceptively low, and at the same time correct in the sense that we were clearly 2 tds better than the Vikings. The Patriots moved on offense with extreme effectiveness thanks to great play calling. Yes at time the execution could have been better but the Vikings are a good team and made some play on their own.

I don't know about that, but we do have our moments. In late 2008 early 2009 we were trading Brady and keeping Matt Cassel. We thought Adam Seward was going to be our greatest LB addition ever. David Patten was NEVER going to make this team, Randy Moss was a dog faker, I could go on and on.

I was officially wrong when I freaked out after the Titans game. Great win today by the team. Edelman dropped a couple, Gronk probably tweaked something on that big hit he took. But the D played better than I thought they could. Hope they can keep the solid all around play going next week in Miami.

Classic trap game next week.

There's nothing about playing in Miami that should ever be a trap game. Outside of Denver it may be the closest thing to a house of horrors (6-10) Brady has.

I agree, but the Dolphins are fighting for the playoffs and the real big game is the following week.

With Burkhead back, Patterson got to moonlight as a WR. He had more receiving yards than any Viking.
