Harry was better than Polk and Baker COMBINED.
Let THAT set in.
It has.
Polks out today let’s see if Baker can make a few plays hopefully in a still embarrassing soul crushing failure of a loss.

I want Maye to scream at Mayo and its heard on camera where Maye is like you couldn’t coach my peewee football team.
 
Did Matty P's offense score more points per game than BOB and AVP's offenses combined?
I know you're being sarcastic here, but there are some hard truths we need to realize.

Matt Patricia 2022: 21.4 PPG
Bill O'Brien 2023: 13.9 PPG
Alex Van Pelt 2024: 16.6 PPG (so far)

So no, but it's close.

There are people on PatsFans arguing to keep AVP. It has only been 17 games and we have not given AVP a fair chance yet.

I’m reading a lot of “keep him but in a demoted role.” I would be OK with letting him focus on the QBs and not playcalling, personally.
 
Let’s get those fire Mayo chants loud and proud today boys.
I want signs, paper bags if someone could make a costume of Kraft and Mayo in clown costumes all the better.
I woke up in a surly mood and that is how I would be at the game.

The boos need to be loud and persistent, and any signs need to make it clear that the addle minded Krafts are the problem and if they don’t fix their mistake the fans will revolt.

Mayo was a stupid, poorly thought out hire, that likely served to undermine BB since HC was put in his contract five years ago.

The Krafts are just going to have to accept that they were just along for the ride during the dynasty, but if they do not admit their mistake and fire Mayo now, their legacy will be taking a respected dynasty, and turning it into a dumpster fire as their prominence fades to that if the pre-dynasty Pats.

I agree. I have posted that 3 or 4 times. I even think I might have been the 1st one to post it.
 
I assume the Bills backups will want to win and play hard. The wild card in the game is how many picks Trubisky throws... he's good for 2 typically.
 
Don't underestimate Buffalo allowing the Pats to win - a theory brought up on 98.5....why would buffalo want a team in their division owning the #1 pick and control of the draft board?
 
Years ago, were talking late 80s, pre Parcells 90s....my friends father worked for Nynex, Bell Atlantic....whatever the phone company was called back then...this is back when the stadium was half full for home games...so anyway, for a reason I don't know there always had to be a phone company crew on duty at the stadium on game days...my friends father would get us into the games at halftime or after the first quarter for free. No one cared about the team back then...the franchise is headed in that same direction now
 
The NFL has gone out of their way the last decade plus to make sure all final games are divisional for the off chance they get a Vikings vs Lions situation.

It almost never pans out. Instead you got a bunch of games that don't matter and scenarios already played out and giving teams like the Bills all the reason in the world to tank more then the last place team Patriots.

True. Not great either for a Cincinnati Bengals fan...
