PostGame Thread 2024 OFFICIAL PostGame Thread: Week 13 - Patriots lose to Colts 25-24

[Real fan 02]

They wanted to lose... Are you not aware of what's happening here?

Maybe take the rest of the season off if you actually think they're gonna be competitive. They are who they are and there no reason to be mad about it.

Speaking for myself I want them to remain competitive but lose out. Because we need all the talent we can get we are definitely picking in the top 5 but the #1 pick is on the table!

RK will know it was wrong this year or next. Rarely, if ever, does a management team change their stripes from one year to the next. Either way we will be heading in a new and better direction in 2025 or 2026.

Agreed 100%.. not going to keep beating a drum of him being gone. I want to see who we surround Drake with outside and how we protect him.

There is no way they are tanking. They are trying as hard as they can to win every game. They just suck and can’t even beat crappy teams.
They tried hard to beat the colts and couldn’t figure out how to stop Anthony Richardson. That’s how bad they are.
They want to win, they can’t.

There's no way you're trying when you run the ball 2 times and throw in third and long two drives in a row in which your QB has had his way with the colt defense.

They packed it in.

The season has unfolded exactly how I wanted. Drake gets his valuable playing time AND they have a **** enough roster and rookie coaching to lose their way into a valuable top pick.

The only thing I would of changed is Drake was a day 1 starter.

Either way, he got plenty of playing time for this year and should be prime to take the next step next season and hopefully with two new legit WR and a new OLine.

Maybe Mayo wins the powerball and quits the team. Could happen.

Win-Win.

It landed one yard short of the crossbar. That means it was at least 5 yards short of going over the crossbar.

It hit near the bottom of the goalpost on the fly. The goalpost is 6.5 feet behind the back line of the endzone. The crossbar is aligned with the back line of the endzone. So the crossbar is 6.5 feet closer to the field than the goalpost. Slye's kick missed by at most about 2 yards.

From my seat in the Stadium it looked about 3 yards short.

Maybe. But I think Brady and Gronk genuinely did not like playing for BB. I think BB was a bit too old school as the times changed.

Time goes on, you always appreciate the really great, useful things you learned from him and a lot of it made you a better player, but it just wears thin especially when the team is getting weaker.

They left, they won another Super Bowl somewhere else, and they had fun doing it.

That was one holy hell of a kick.

Outdoors. He was pissed about what happened before halftime. I like him, because it's an emotional game and he was fired up - in a good way.

And they tried to win back to back and failed. A lot of teams won a Super Bowl having fun. Can a team go to 9 and win 6 SBs while having fun? Or does it take a bit of discipline? Doubtful we will ever know.
