Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Chargers

[Brotherblues]

I feel for Mills. You can tell he's giving it 100% and by all accounts is the kinda guy who wants to be coached hard and playing hard all the way. He's just getting victimized by some really great throws and even better catches.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Huge win for us!!!! Get on the train everyone, we're getting on a roll!!!!

We overcame the Chargers and the officiating.....we got it done though...hopefully, this will be a season changer for us. Folk is money!!!!

Our O-line had some ups and down, but overall, I think they were pretty good.

So happy for a close win!!!!!

Let's discuss!!!!!

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Wow! What a great win today.

we did not play great on offense, but we got the win.

the defensive touchdown was the play of the day!

 

[TheRainMaker]

Herbert is not big time yet which I said during the week and why I thought this game was winnable.

Pats should’ve blown them out if it weren’t for the refs.

O line was eh in pass blocking.

Harris was held back by the refs.

Harry made some clutch grabs.

Aghlor looked irritated with so many over throws.

Judon is having a great year.

Chargers saw the curse of the former player in Phillips.

Uche meanwhile is a ghost. I watch him on passing downs and he has zero rush moves. I though he’d have a better year than this.

I can’t stand Jalen Mills. He’s been bad all year. Poor use of money.

No close ups of Steve again. Is Bill hiding him now on the sidelines?

The 3 big ones this year are this game, the Browns in two weeks and the Colts later in the year.
1 down 2 to go.

Titans will be the biggest IMO. The Browns and Colts can be explosive, but are streaky and flawed. The Titans have good balance, and mostly - patience and grit to play Patriot football.

Thing about the Titans though is they're pretty much a shoe in for the division. So if we're talking about teams we're competing for WC spots with, Cleveland and Indy are more important games.

Wow.

Tom doing his occasional Drew impersonation.

Honestly, I'm hoping he saves this stuff in case we play them again later in the SB

Crazy thing is, the pass before that could’ve been intercepted too. So two horrible passes in a row. Also, they had plenty of time. All they needed was a FG to win. Brady was trying to win it with 1 play. Just work your way downfield and get the winning FG.

He was having a brilliant day before that horrible throw. Had 375 yards and 4TD passes and 70%+ completion percentage. He literally threw that game away.

They do. I think they’re winning their division.

Bourne. What's frustrating is we can't even focus our hate on one guy, because someone NEW keeps fumbling every week.

Bolden has been getting tea bagged pretty consistently by the gallery. And he hasn't even fumbled yet.

 

[PP2]

We threw a ****load of match zone stuff at Herbert and it got to him.

Good day across the board except for when McDumb got away from the run in the 2nd half.

 

[Pape]

ugly win is a win

This team is starting to play together. Starting to play like a team, and its s damn good to see.

Been thru fire with a tough road in the beginning of the season... real tests for a "young" team... This was a well deserved, and much needed win for our New England Patriots

Spectacular...

The Bad:
Mac Jones - Today was his worst day completion wise. 18/35. He did seem to settle down some in the 2nd half, but the game overall wasn't good.
Jamie Collins - You're within half a yard of Hebert and can't sack the dude? With YOUR athleticism? WTF..
Red Zone play-calling - Against the worst run defense and you call ZERO running plays? And nothing to your TEs? And you wonder why Jones was jittery, McDaniels. You didn't help him out any.
Bourne - 4of 7 for 38 yards and a fumble. The fumble was a good play by Derwin James. But still got to work on the ball security.

The UGLY:
Van Noy - He was out of position so much today. He's toast. I'd rather the Pats give his snaps too Uche. Pats need to cut their losses with him because the breakdown is causing others to have to try and cover for him. And I don't typically advocate for cutting players mid-season unless they are hurting the team..
Mills - Still plagued by his hamstring injury.. He was close to being in position on that TD play, but was off-balance and couldn't get a good jump.
Hightower- He's trying to do too much and cover for his friend, Van Noy. Got juked out of his pants by Jackson..
Refs - They were horrible. San Diego was holding so much and committing so much DPI that went uncalled. I was shocked when they called two holding calls in SD.

The GOOD:
Adrian Phillips - 2 Picks today. One for a TD. Guy was a beast.
Damien Harris - Continues to be a monster runner for the Pats.
N'keal Harry- 2 receptions for 30 yards. Made say good blocks on running plays as well.
Gunner - 4 Punt returns averaging 20 yards per return !!!!! WOW...Have loved him since he signed..
Nick Folk - WOW.. Just WOW.. He continues to be money inside the 50.

Lord help him here if he ever does...

It's a bad take on Mills, he wasn't brought in here to be the starting outside corner, he's a jack of all trades...our cb position is our weakest position and he's playing there because we have no depth there.

We won, we're 4-4 and we're getting on a roll!!!!!

 

[DaBruinz]

I wish we could keep the GDT open at least a few minutes after the game to respond to some posts. Just my 2 cents.

You can respond to them here. You know that, Right?

The one thing about Mac today...he wasn't at his best, but he also didn't make that huge interception like Herbert made that cost them the game....

Money should’ve been used towards their best CB in Gilmore. Who would you rather have?

 

[TomPatriot]

a C game in a win? what is it you hate about this kid, I don't get it..

A better way to say it is that he gutted out a win without playing as well as he is capable of playing.

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

This game was FN GREAT. It was ugly with a legit contender. We had to roll in the mud..gouge eyes..low blow.. sucker punch...the whole 9. The exact game I wasn't sure we could win. Well we did. So now I'm freezing my balls off dressed as buzzed lighter year with my 5 year old daughter with my thermos filled.with victory juice.

Go FN Pats!!!!!!!!

Gunners pretty good!!
