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

[Real fan 02]

Thats definitely not a good sign, even in his great years stamina was an issue with him and he disappeared down the stretch. Maybe the fo was right to trade him? I personally didn’t like the trade especially with barmore possibly out all year. Depth as dt/de may be a concern, these guys have alot on their plates and may wear down eventually… there will be injuries too. But hopefully ximines/ekuale/pharms/etc will be up to the task

Judon reported wanted a 20 plus million payday Curran mentioned the offer was around 17 million.... reportedly he became belligerent with the front office. I wanted him to remain here personally. I'm big on ximmines.

I agree that Stevenson had too many carries. And I also think Gibson had too many as well (fwiw James White averaged about 2-4 carries a game). Would prefer Stevenson with 15-20, change 4 of the 7 Gibson runs to passes to him (screens for example) and activate Harris or Jennings to get about 5-10 carries.

Gotta go with our workhorse Rham he's on a mission Game Manager QB/Workhorse RB goes hand and hand.

 

[PatsFan2]

Also am I the only one concerned that Baker and Mayo are going to clash leading to a trade or release?

Yes you are is there something I should know about him Baker that is Granny is not going to be happy??

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Agreed. I'll be in Scotland two games from now, where does one go to watch the Patriots play?

What area are you going to be in?

If it's a late game or the bars in the area aren't showing it DAZN have gamepass that shows the games and you can subscribe on a week to week basis and watch it on any device.

TV here shows a game in the early window, game in the late afternoon window, redzone and all primetime games, everything else people are buying redzone on DAZN, most bars would just be showing the televised games.

Work him too hard and he will burn out, get injured or both. I think this game was a “do whatever it takes to get the win” but IMO that’s not sustainable over 17 games.

I get it buddy Gibby should be able to help out.

Prefer Jennings or Harris. IMO Gibson should get no more than 5 carries a game. He’s also too valuable to give him 10 carries a game when his real value is as a 3rd down back like White. Let Jennings and Harris take a beating.

@One-If-By-Sea the soon to be GM of the Year Wolf is Howling.

 

[Steve102]

Belicheck lost with Bledsoe, lost with Cam, went to the playoffs with Mac, lost with Mac and lost with Zappe.

Stop scapegoating Belichick. He isnt on the Patriots anymore and his name doesnt belong in these threads anymore.

I am also concerned with that, but Baker is not a make or break kinda guy imo.

New kicker and new qb = win yesterday.

New LG, new RG, new OT3, new TE2, new TE3, two new game day-active WRs…

 

[The Gr8est]

I did last year so we could get the best draft pick possible. There was no other reason to cheer for a victory the way they were playing and Mac Jones had robbed me of any joy I took in watching football. I don't think I've ever wanted a guy off of the team so much.

This game was the antithesis of the last three years. Fun to watch, looked like a team that cared, standout performances, solid coaching, good decisions.

If we need to ensure losing for a higher draft pick, we could probably trade for Mac, and douse this burgeoning feeling of hope and competence.

 

[sb1]

went to the playoffs with Mac,

Given how that went I'd rather pretend that didn't happen

Worth noting that if the 3-14 Jaguars didn't upset the Dolphins in 2021 then the Pats miss the playoffs and Bill would have had zero playoff appearances post Brady. Would have not looked great on his legacy.

 

[The Gr8est]

I don't think many people are advocating for all season of Brissett. He is exactly what we thought he'd be. The question becomes when does the coaches think Maye is ready to take over? I think Brissett probably needs to lose a couple games and lose his job before that happens, rather than just handing it over to Maye.

He could easily get knocked out by injury before he actually loses the job.

Prefer Jennings or Harris. IMO Gibson should get no more than 5 carries a game. He’s also too valuable to give him 10 carries a game when his real value is as a 3rd down back like White. Let Jennings and Harris take a beating.

Agreed. Harris is the bruising back I want in there when Rham isn't in there.

 

[mike_usagisan]

He could easily get knocked out by injury before he actually loses the job.

There were a couple times yesterday when I thought he was going to get knocked out.

 

[The Gr8est]

Love when Mayo kicked the other guy to the curb a Team like ours can't have shaky kicker like Wide-Left. Kudos to Mr Joey Style.

I was wondering if the Pats would sign Ryland to the PS.

Looks like he is still a FA.

 

[captain stone]

Agreed or Wallace on the right side. I think chuks got benched for Wallace.?

Chucky was benched for VD Low.

Where are you located in Scotland? My wife is Scottish, we plan on going there for our 25th anniversary.

 

[mike_usagisan]

I don't want to get too exited over our new kicker. There's a reason he's been on a bunch of teams the last few years. But he's definitely better than Ryland.
