PostGame Thread OFFICIAL 2024 Week 1 Postgame Thread - Patriots Open 1-0 with a win over Cincy

[moosekill]

I wonder how many games we lost last season because our field goal/xp kicker sucked. Nice to have one that doesn't suck now.

White had a great game. 2nd year improvement is always a great sign.

He was a beast yesterday.

See told you guys Biscuit was the answer.

Maye daye is our future. However the points scored yesterday felt better than anything Mac or Zappe did last season. I expect the offense to open up more. Polk should be starting over KJ.

 

[PatsFan2]

Did they Bench Okorafor?? He was bad out there from What I saw early on.

Really wanted to see Judon on this Defense it would be Great!

Surprised Pop Douglas wasn't more open I expected more from him. Tyquan looked real good yeah I'm not a huge fan of Osborn either.

I know brother. Judon looked washed in ATL yesterday.. I have a cousin lives in ATL.. he was watching the game. He said cousins looked like an old man too.

Agree. KJ is a good player. However should be a role player not starting over polk. This our 2nd round pick it's important for him to be starting so when Drake takes over. We had not won a week 1 in 4 seasons! Imagine that!

I don't think he will be long for this roster... yes I think for Wallace?

Looks like he could fill in at SS too in a pinch.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Not many CBs that can change direction like Gonzalez in the last rep

 

[TomPatriot]

Imagine White and Barmore on the same DL. Yikes.

Lowe replaced him, I think.

It felt better but we didn’t scored much more than what Mac and Zappe were averaging last year.

We played a near perfect game and only scored 16. The win felt great don’t get me wrong. It was a really nice win. I am really happy for Mayo winning his first game a an HC.

Brissett is a backup QB and played like a backup QB yesterday. He hold the fort well, was poised in the pocket. Ran when he needed to even though he probably was running slower than Mac Jones. I thought he would pulled an hammy on one of those. In the passing game is accuracy was atrocious. But that’s what backup QB are doing. They can hold the fort for a few games but if they need to play more you will end up in the L column more often than not.

We still have a very fine margin of error to be able to win games. It’s still the same as the last 3-4 years. Play defense, run the ball, make no mistakes and win low scoring games. That’s not sustainable over a full season. You can win some games like that but it’s hard to be relevant that way.

I am fine with Brissett holding the fort the first 4 games until Drake can gain experience on how to prepare for an NFL game but I don’t see the point keeping playing Brissett more than that and arm strung yourself offensively. This team will need Maye to be able to develop into something more dynamic

I wonder if he is released once Thomas or Jones get going.

 

[Real fan 02]

What a turnstyle.

Mayo will be chucking up the deuces to him once Wallace gets comfortable

If Lowe can stay healthy, they will probably try him a RT where he played better in TC before benching or cutting him.

I think we will probably saw the following line against SEA:

Lowe - Jordan - Andrews - Onwenu - Okorafor

Agreed. The primary focus was the run game. Brissett made the throws he needed to make. I can just tell it was part of the game plan. Wanted to limit Burrow as much as possible. That 3 and out in the 4th Quarter was awesome. It just good to see the defense acutely get rest.

We should have had at least another TD instead of a FG. But the fluidity of the offense, the overall scheme just seemed much better than anything we've seen last 2 seasons.

As time goes on we will be more balanced. Brissett although limited is still capable of putting up 275-280 passing yards a game.

Polk needs to be starting he will be more effective than KJ.
