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

[moosekill]

He had a STRIP SACK & (officially) TWO INTs and I think he had like two more (felt like 3) taken away by friendly refs. not sure about “brilliant”

I was watching TB game while actually looking at pats gamecenter and the GDT. (Only game on German tv). So I should be excused if I get it wrong, but IMO he seemed rattled by NO D and off on a lot of throws. Is it now his age, or just a bad one-off day (with almost 400 yards LOL).

Wrong thread, this is the patriots forum.

Sophie Scott is happy.

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

And what would the Pats have done without Mills for the first 8 7 games?? Because Gilmore hasn't have played yet. He may not play next week against the Pats. Do you stop and think before you post?

Pats the only AFC team and one of three teams in the league (+ ARI and LAR) undefeated on the road.

that's kinda like horseshoes and hand grenades

It's neither. It's idiot Arians and Leftwich.

Barmore can be a beast. Wondered what bedard saw to trash the poor kid

There were some red flags on Barmore coming out. Though he supposedly overcame them and showed himself to be a huge team player and a fantastic learner..

Herbert is not big time yet

Neither is Allen - I want to sweep the Bills

I think our season will be determined by that tough gauntlet of games we have in late November/Early December - Tennessee, Buffalo, Indy, and Buffalo.

Jones was seriously off especially in the first half. He had some throws that we’re not even close. Still the play calling again was suspect. The holding calls killed them, but they were obvious holds.

the defense which looked very iffy in 5he first two drives, really stepped up. Herbert looked like he caught whatever was ailing Jones and was very inaccurate in th3 second half. That pick 6 had to have been a misread on either Herbert or the TE.

That last drive reminded me of the 2020 opener against the Phins. 7 minutes, went up by two scores, made 5he Chargers use all of thier TO, you can’t get much better than that.

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...]

Wrong team

One thing I thought early on: the Chargers clearly came out amped up. Like, as they say, super charged. That opening drive and that surge for the touchdown. I always feel like when teams come out like that their fuse is going to burn down quickly, and the game is 60 minutes long, not five. The Patriots are always in it for 60. That kind of played out today.

Do you stop and think before you post?

Nope, usually just rattle the stuff off

...secure in the knowledge that you'll correct me - cheers

This season Hebert WAS 5 - 0 vs teams that he lost to in 2020.

BB still has his fast ball.

He played today

He didn’t have any picks called back by refs I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Anyway I have no idea why this is being discussed in here but Brady played great, moved the ball almost at will and the game was only close due to Bucs defensive penalties. But at the very end Brady had the ball and choked by making either a bad throw or dumb decision. It happens. God knows we’ve seen it every now and then in unfortunate regular season games over the prior 20 years.

Josh Uche was a draft pick on his rookie deal and only has a base salary of $538k and total compensation if he makes his bonuses under $1M. Not a big deal. Give the guy a chance to learn how to play linebacker in the NFL.

Your point about N'keal Harry is right - three excellent catches at key moments in the game, including on the long 4th quarter drive that iced the game. If he can be trusted in big situations along with Agholor, Bourne, Henry and Smith, the Patriots receiving corps is fine.

The defense was great today. Too bad they gave up that last TD while essentially playing prevent to run the clock.

Just a point of reference. Harry only had 2 catches tonight. But both were clutch. Unless you're referring to last week as well..

Glad we won, but it was weird how Herbert just turned super inaccurate out of the blue.

Gilmore played today big guy. Got an INT. Do you stop to think before you post?

Well, they had 2 weeks to prepare for this game...

Barmore is a beast.
JC & DMac recovered well after that first drive's mishaps.
Mills did okay in mid-game, but gets stupid in the clutch. He gave up at least 3 big plays on the final 2 drives, including that ridiculous TD catch. He was in perfect position, but jumped about 5 seconds too early and couldn't concentrate on the ball. hate that!
Collins could have had a sack-fumble if he didn't do a lazy whiff on Herbert.

Did i miss something.. was he not in on that goal line stand on the chargers first drive where the refs never blew the whistle
