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

[jdlboot14]

Will Jones be okay next week? We're going to need him and M.Jones & Mills back, and Parker & Smith to have any chance in the world.
This is likely the last game for Slater & DMac - some miracle in Buffalo would be an amazing way to go out. Even if we get killed in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Is Agholor the biggest waste of money on offense we've ever had?
He's made an impact in 2 games this year. Wk 2 and 10 (6 catches + TD)
And had 2 or fewer catches in 10 games!

Who??

 

[jimnance]

No because the NFL will ensure KC, Cincinnati, & Buffalo play at the same time. Buffalo won't know anything in advance.

Buffalo could lose tomorrow and still get the 2 seed if Baltimore beats Cincinnati. And Buffalo beats NE.

Alot rides on tomorrow. If Buffalo beats Cincinnati, they still need to beat NE to maintain the one seed.

I'll be honest I think Bengals might be the best team in the league. We should have beaten them last week. At any rate,I think
Buff,KC and Cincy are the top 3 teams and very close to each other. Burrow is right there with Mahomes and Allen. Wouldn't surprise that any one of those teams wins SB. They're all better than anyone in nfc

I wouldn’t be so sure of that they will all play at the same time. There’s two Saturday games next week and they’re not going to put a meaningless game in those two slots.

I imagine Jaguars/Titans will be one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots/Bills is the other. Not that that would change anything in terms of the Bills playing their starters.

I doubt the NFL would have the bills play Monday, and then Saturday

NFL won't put a team to play Saturday after playing Monday day night. I don't think? IDK if that has happened before.

We won!

Oh yeah, that’s true.

Only chance for the Patriots to win is to do what they did the last time they beat the Bills.

Regardless of the weather.

They will not do it.

1st & 10, 2nd & 2, 3rd & 3, 4th & 2, etc. you will see Mac Jones dropping back and nine times out of ten he'll be sacked or throw an incompletion or worse, with little time taken off the clock before our very good defense is thrown out there again to try and score again because that's the only way we can.

Meaningless long completions on usually nonscoring drives will pad his meaningless individual stats while we lose.

I thought the Eagles were once the team to beat in the NFC. I've started to see cracks in that team though. An injured Lane Johnson and not 100% Hurts will negatively affect them. Maybe they get healthy and turn it on.

I'd be stunned if it is not Buf, Cin, or KC coming out of the AFC. When I look at the entire team, I believe Cincinnati is the most balanced. But Cincinnati still has Baltimore to worry about. Ravens are no pushovers.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

I got a question for you: didn't you get any enjoyment from the win today?

Of course he did. Grow up, fercrissakes.

Doesn't sound like it

I actually did - Mac had some good throws, and our defense is always getting pick 6s. I love Stevenson.

I'm not rooting against them just to validate my pessimism. I'm just not fanatical in the sense that, if I feel the team isn't that good, or isn't going anywhere, that will effect how I feel post game. I can enjoy the good plays the team makes, but still not get my hopes up because inside I just don't think this team is good (and the prior 2 weeks showed it)

if our regression from last year wasn't so unforced, I wouldn't even be this upset

Did Jonathan Jones get up under his own power?? Thanks.

Since he injured his wrist I'm not sure of the relevance.

 

[goheels22002]

Matt Patricia should be fired for that inside the Dolphins territory series when a first down effectively wins the game. Four absurdly conservative running plays that lost yardage when play action was called for to keep the Dolphins honest. Driving towards the opponent's goal line is a good thing.

I am sick and tired of watching the offense play not to lose while the defense is busting its ass to win the game.

 

[goheels22002]

If he can run he can play next week.

 

[jdlboot14]

With Agholor surely gone, and perhaps Bourne. Along with Meyers a UFA (which I think we'll re-sign)
Which of these top FA's would you want to sign?
Juju Smith-Schuster
DJ Chark
Allen Lazard

BB seemed fine with the outcome.

Miami expended all timeouts. Mac was real happy pumping his fist in the air. I got the impression that was the plan all along.

Free agent market is weak. Make a significant trade for Higgins

This list is depressing.

Mac had me wanting to see Zappe in the 2nd half... but then every 8 or 10 plays he has a really great pass.
Still so hard to tell if he's just not good enough, or the maddening inconsistency is totally on this inept offensive plan this year.

Fatricia will keep calling screens to the opposite side of the field so Mac has to throw across his body 22 times a game, and then when they DO get into the red zone he'll turn to his spin-a-wheel-of-dumbshit and call some sort of flea flicker from the 3 yard line.

And god forbid the team lets mac handle **** and not call a time out on the goal line as he has the team in the right play and they score, oh wait time out from the patriots bench. Lets give the defense a second chance.

Kick a field goal and make it a two TD game? nah lets do a weird screen pass that gets blown from the start, and lose ten yards

Bengals would be fools to let Higgins go a year early. Unless he threatens to hold out I suppose.
