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

THIS IS OUR LIVE GAME DAY THREAD:

This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.

At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.

Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.

This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.

If you do you will have your account suspended.

I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
And the (defensive-minded) coach who had nothing to do with those 6 SB wins and is old and dotty and should retire already also had nothing to do with this gameplan.

BB = GOAT too.
When it goes well, it is BB on Defense, when it is bad, it is Steve....
 
Mac got happy feet after the first quarter though. He needed a shift receiver badly in this game. A Jules will have help him a lot. Burkherd is there for a trade. Make the call Bill.
Burkhead FINALLY dressed for a game and he was their best RB by yardage. Do you honestly think that Houston is going to trade him now that they traded Ingram?
 
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....
Yup, the ‘what the hell was that’ pass to nowhere is a lot better than the ‘what the hell was that’ interception

And the closing drive was cold and crisp.

Just thinking Houston may be sellers that is all. Not sure if they are rational though.
 
Last gripe about JMD -
Today in the 3rd qtr. would have been a great time to run one of those trick plays from last week - in a game we didn't need them!
We were struggling to find momentum, passing game was off, run game had stalled, we needed a spark.
Still so odd that they used so many vs. Jets
(PS - major props to Mike White and the Jets for stunning the Bengals)

to steal a meme thats going around "he understood the assignment."
 
Great team win. Great mental-toughness-building 4th qtr by all phases.

BUT... a few big mistakes.
None more grievous than BB's stupid challenge when the hold wasn't even close to the EZ.
JMD - always overthinking.
throwing on 3rd & 4th at the 1 was insane!
going away from the run and throwing consistently in the 3rd qtr when we had momentum.
calling the Bolden draw the 2nd time on 3rd &1, in the exact situation he had just won with it the series before.
Put your big RB's in and pound it for 1!!
The challenge was valid. It's where the QB is located when the hold occurs. Not where there hold occurs. If you're going to comment, make sure you understand the rule you're commenting on. While Ian Eagle is a crappy announcer, he at least stated what the rule was before they went to commercial and didn't show a replay.
 
Incredibly strange game. Mac certainly didn’t win it but he sure outplayed Herbert.
 
a game ON THE ROAD by a rookie QB now 8 games into his career...and you call that average??? just what the hell did you expect out of the kid anyway?

Joker - Look at Mac's OTHER games on the road to this point and then come back and talk.
 
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.
It's hard to be perfect. OC should have reigned Tom in. Sometimes running the ball and using your timeouts is appropriate [see That horrible SB loss to the Iggles...]
 
You must’ve missed my original post which didn’t focus on that. I’m just responding to you.

And yet, you don’t answer my question.
Rather have him but he's gone and was never going to play here this year, he wanted a ton of money they weren't going to give him yet he plays for the current contract in Carolina, thank you Gilly but good bye
 
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!!!!!!!!
Got Reece's & Kit Kat for ya

I wouldn’t have extended Gilmore either. I just would’ve given more money this year for his last year which I think he would’ve taken.
 
Barmore can be a beast. Wondered what bedard saw to trash the poor kid
