PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread - Pats beat the Bengals

[shmessy]

You know what this win was like? Playing a varsity team three times and losing then beating the hell out of a freshman team and then for some reason feeling about yourselves.

I think you mean to use the verb “watching” instead of “playing”, hoss.

It's great the pats can beat up on a 1-12 team but does not change the fact they still cannot beat a team that isn't a joke.

Rag on them to your heart's content. It wont be long until you'll be begging for the Pats to have a season like this. A friend at work is a Bills fan. Hes thrilled just for them to still be in the playoff picture.

The chiefs are peaking. They’re playing good football and defense

Why did you get a funny?

What you stated is fact

A guy like say....Michael Bennett would help.

I don’t know where people are saying this offense improved. If they have a long field they’re in trouble.

It's unfortunate they couldn't take a shot to try and tie manning at the end instead of running with burkhead. Its very possible with brees tomorrow and only 2 games left that he never gets a piece of that record. What do you think sean payton is going to do up 17 in that position.

Who gives a **** ? If you are into individual records you are fan of the wrong team.

It's our resident bandwagoner @StairwayToSe7en who thought the Chiefs were trash a few weeks ago...

This is the 32nd ranked rushed defense. 32nd. And the Pats can't run the ball.

We have higher standards as Patriots fans.

Because some people actually watched the game and were not just dry humping the stats.

Bennett was on the sidelines for the Pats for most running plays..

I think you are mistaken arrogance and entitlement for standards.

People refuse to admit another team is better than the Pats. The Chiefs are better. Period. Ravens are better too.

until that day we aren’t the bills and expect more of the team

 

[goheels22002]

That was satisfying in a lot of ways. Nice to see Harry and Sanu make important catches, and see Burkhead and James White contribute on scoring plays that nailed down the win.

I hope Mason's ankle is okay and that Edelman can heal up a little before the Bills game.

Please don't disrespect the king of hot takes, NumeroPimp136!

But weve lost our appreciation along the way. The word spoiled comes to mind.

So I guess winning isn't enough for ass clowns like you. We must win a certain way. The game was over. It's a really cool record.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I don't care how bad Cincy is, it feels great to get back on the winning side after losing 2 straight. 11-3 now and still the 2 seed, we are in great shape here. On top of that , Edelman only had 5 targets and 2 catches today so he wasn't forced to do too much on that bad knee. Ideally, I'd love if we can skate by Buffalo and Miami (maybe even sit him in this one) with him on a light load, then he'd get 2 weeks to rest for the playoffs if we take care of business.

Offense clearly still has work to do. They got 2 more weeks to find their niche, last year they didn't really get rolling until week 17 anyways. But Harry is showing some flash and could develop into a real weapon by playoff time. Where was Jakobi Meyers? Very good game on the ground, unfortunately I'm pretty sure next week we'll get the Michel 12 carry, 10 yard special so won't be able to build off this one.

The defense and special teams again carries us to victory. I'll take the wins howeve we can get them until the offense starts playing better. Obviously in the playoffs we will need more from that side of the ball. But it's a major blessing to be 11-3 despite so many struggles offensively.

Next week will be a big test, I feel pretty good since we did beat them on their field earlier, hoping we get a little more out of the offense this time around though. Win that one and you can pretty much pencil us in as the 2 seed.

 

[Patstastic]

How..?

I thought we were discussing the run defense. He'd definitely help. It's a glating issue right now.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Until the Bengals folded, it was tough. Very grateful to this team, but hoping for improvement in the run defense and passing game. All wins are great wins, though!
