PostGame Thread Official PostGame Thread - 2023 Week 7 - Patriots Win 29-25

[Schmo]

whoever was talking about the wildcard....there's 10 ****ing teams ahead of the Pats

But there's only 3 teams ahead of us in the division

 

[Real fan 02]

Parker to Carolina for a 4th?

Is he worth even that? 14 yards in 2 games. He's clearly not part of the offense.

 

[ALP]

keep parker and JSS for depth and to teach the young guys some stuff

remove them from the field

I’m not sure how that’s relevant to what I am saying.

I know my team and my team only.

I stated before the game that the Patriots should move the ball and they did.

That was my only point.

Sounds like you're blaming the loss on injuries

29 points put up by the offense.... what happens when the oline plays competently. Is anyone starting to see how good Mac is?

I always thought losing Scar was very detrimental to the success of this team.

 

[Wax Frog]

My 55-0 Pats victory prediction to balance those who voted a loss paid off. On to the dolphins!

OT - who you gonna call? Nazgûlbusters!

Rham made me so mad the first half and I was okay with Zeke playing most of the game. But then they disappear Zeke most of the 2nd half. Although Rham made up for all his bad running with that last screen. I don't know why he doesn't have the power at point of contact, but he's still good in space. But Zeke is doing fairly well with the tough yards inside.

O-LINE!! Good job, Douglas starts all season, waiting for boutte. Great Third TE play, brown! Wow, a legit team win...

 

[Sicilian]

All the talk of draft position vs. wild card hopes vs. division hopes, etc, etc. It's all kind of moot right now. Enjoy the win! It was a fun game to watch, it was (mostly) clean, and it gets the Bills monkey off this team's back. We can all take 24 hours to just revel in why we enjoy football, then worry about the long term ramifications later.

 

[vicspats]

I'll rip the Refs later, because there were 5 total BS calls that they tried their hardest to give the game away. These guys need to get a congressional investigation on them.

Two plays before that he barely went down with no less than 4 Patriot linemen dragging him down …now that’s some acting !!!

let's not get carried away. Jones could be an adequate QB in the league - no one should be looking for him to be a pro bowler, etc. he is good enough to be a playoff contender. he is good enough be Chad Pennington (hopefully without being hurt all the time).

 

[Grogan14]

I have to say, I love Caleb Williams. I think he's going to be great.

I'm not a fan of Drake Maye.

If the Patriots continue to play like they played today, they might win 6 or 7 games, pick around 10, which makes this discussion moot.

100% agree. Caleb Williams is a generational talent who will be at Mahomes level for a decade or more. Anyone on this board who says they do not want him is insane

1st win since Brady left when the opposing team scores 25 or more right?

 

[GreenCow]

Sounds like you're blaming the loss on injuries

I think you’re just being a bit sensitive.

Bills didn’t deserve to win today.

 

[upstater1]

PLAY OF THE GAME:

Final drive, 3rd and 8, Mac made a brilliant throw, stepped up into the pocket, there was even a light pass rush. He stepped into it, threw hard, past 2 defenders, right into Henry's hands for 14 yards. That to me was the game.

 

[Salsalife]

YES YES YES

 

[upstater1]

I think you’re just being a bit sensitive.

Bills didn’t deserve to win today.

Then show the logic: why did you even mention it? What's the relevance?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Sounds like you're blaming the loss on injuries

That’s why exactly what he was doing.

Let’s just ignore the Buffalo offense waiting until the 2nd half to get things going.

 

[jdlboot14]

So what do all the Strange haters think now?
It was immediately MUCH better in the inside rush with him instead of Mafi.
And Sow faired pretty well. I wonder if Onwenu is okay moving to RT full time?

I'm wondering what you're referring to with Rham. He broke 2 10+ runs in the 1st half.
