PostGame Thread 2024 Postgame Thread Week 16 - Pats fall to Bills 24-21

Wrap up pick number 2 and we can call this a extremely successful season.

This was the worst i’ve seen the Bills play since early October.

They didn’t even look like they wanted to be there. Like they were sleepwalking and just wanted to get the game over with.

Idk what that was, but it wasn’t the team i’ve watched over the last 2 months.

They came off a high from beating Detroit and sometimes it's hard to get up for an inferior opponent.

Cam also wasn't a rookie and had won and MVP. The Bledsoe thing is worrisome because he needs to be much better than Drew.

I’m not too worried, 2 of the picks bounced off receivers hands, always playing from behind and need to he aggressive, he was 70th percentile in avoiding negative plays in college, better than any first round QB, better team will be less picks.
I remember Manning with 28 picks in year 1.

JAllen had a 9 gamer last year and Calculatin' Manning had a 9er in 2015. Actually, a lot of greats have had super long streaks (although have to say the different era thing), so I'm not worried.

Allen can make some heroic plays. He also has a tendency to make some mistakes.

Mayo saved his job today. He looked like he was actually coaching today, no deer in the headlights. I would have rather they got their asses kicked TBH.

Not sure he saved his job... They had a good first quarter. They still stink and the talent is lacking... Gm is needed more but coach nds to go... 1a and 1b

Bills trolling us not taking the Pats seriously.

Get ready for the false hope to take place by the media because they had an early lead and were only down 10 until the garbage time TD.

A very bad trend is forming where they can't score until late in the game when it's over.

That wasn’t a garbage time TD, they had a shot to tie or win if they had secured the onside kick or stopped Buffalo on their final series.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Really like our draft positioning after today. We can do a whole lot from the 2nd spot.

Except rounds 2-6 will suck

Interesting stat they brought up about how Maye's INT game streak (currently 7) is the longest for a Pats QB since Bledsoe in '99. Currently longest active one. Cam had fewer INT games in 2020.

Unfortunately, the INT's go with the program. Inexperienced QB behind a bad line, trying to do everything himself because the WR corps aren't good enough. The good news is that Maye seems mentally tough enough to learn from the experiences and not lose his confidence. It is also fair to say that he has had some help with a number of those INTS, even today the target fell down. Unlike Drew who really never stopped being a gunslinger, I don't think INTS will be a career limiting problem for Maye.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

The lack of running Maye inside the 5 yard line is moronic, we get down to the 1/2 yard line and call pitches, tosses and outside runs and either get tackled for a loss or someone holds.

Yet they continue to do it, it's been every week since the start of the season.

Also the Bills must know the snap count to jump the line so quickly. No attempt to snap quickly, or pull them offsides, etc. Bad coaching.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

I'm thinking two OTs and Abdul Carter in the first two rounds in 2025 plus another 1st round pick in 2026. Some team will pay a king's ransom for the 1st or 2nd pick this year.

What player is worthy of that

 

[Salsalife]

They benched him for like… 5 plays

For games, not plays ..

Again, if you understood that your gaslighting passive aggressive patronizing takes don't work on me you'd waste alot less of your time.

Source. Trust me bro.

Just another L.

I don’t really care what “works with you”. You questioned the play I educated you, you decided to get defensive and act like you understand. Not sure who you are playing to but it’s an anonymous forum so no one knows who you are so it’s ok to admit you didn’t know. Life is easier if you get over your butt hurt feelings and actually learn something.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

not worried about ints at all. love maye ... super excited for next year. He's got "it." Playing the Bills tough when it looked look we were going into a massacre (I had 46-20 Bills). Defense even played better. Close hard-fought losses that keep our draft position ... sweet.

What a load of crap. I'll bet you want Mayo back next year to help ensure another top-10 draft pick in 2026. "WHEEEE!!! LOSING IS GREAT!!! MORE DRAFT BINKIES!!! WHEEEE!!!"

 

[upstater1]

Didn’t see post game interviews any discussion on the end zone pick?
Looked live Maye thought Henry running an out and Henry went deep or…?

Henry got tripped up in the defenders legs. But we had Boutte just tackled on knocked on his butt in the middle of the field right before that. No flag.

You're embarrassing your self. Lol.

Anyway. Your source was literally trust me bro I watch football. Which is ****ing hilarious.

You gonna cry cause they didn't win game 4 in week 16?

Lol. Some of you don't know what this is.

I think it was Hopper. Maye threw as hooper was making his cut. Looked like hooper was supposed to cut 90 and run an out (no reason for Maye to throw to where that would take him if it went the route) but hooper broke to the ba k corner. Could be hooper felt he couldn’t get through the traffic but mayr had to trust the route that’s called.

 

[Jim Beankie]

He throws to the worst wide receivers in the NFL, his margin for error is much higher than other quarterbacks who can rely on talented wideouts to make plays.

Gonna have to slightly disagree with you, as Demario Douglas has more receptions than the top WR in recs of 9 other teams entering this week. He's 4th in separation out of all WRs. Maye also gets to throw to Henry, who is a solid pass catcher.

The separation the last 2 weeks for Boutte has been excellent, and since I believe separation is also a QB stat, I think it means it they're starting to gel.

As I said in another post, though, that it's really not a big deal at this point, since he's a rookie, and JAllen had a 9 streak last year.

 

[JohnJH]

Yeah. Not calling you out
Agree with you totally. Just expanding on your comment
They better hit in FA and the draft for this kid
You can just tell he has it. The mistakes will be learning experiences
I just mean when he’s out there he never seems lost or overwhelmed

Yep. I know you weren't calling me out. I agree with you. We really did strike gold with Maye! He just has that "It Factor" combined with the physical skills and mental attitude.
