Game Observations: Eight Takeaways From the Patriots Win Over the Bills in Sunday's Season Finale

Wallace revealed after the game that the injury that kept him out so long was actually a broken leg. I don’t think that had ever been reported

How the heck did that happen

How did Baker get a concussion despite never seeing the field? Weird things this year.

Thought I heard car accident.

He was in a car accident during the bye.

An awful game to watch. Both teams didn't want to win and the energy felt lower than pre season.

Hopefully they can fix the S&C dept this year and dump Deron.

So? He wasn't in the room. You weren't in the room. She could have just been taking notes. You don't know.

This is a multi-billion dollar organization. On high leverage interviews, people who participate are there because they are active participants or are needed for their input. They're not just there to take notes. If Glaser was present in those interviews, then yes, her input on the hiring process was valued by Kraft.

The worst ever win in franchise history

The right final ending of a disgusting season

No words...

The only thing this team was good at was losing and they couldn't even do that right.

I'm done talking about this. Anyone who thinks that's she's secretly in charge of picking players and coaches over there is nuts. If you think that, you're delusional.

That's it. That's all I'll ever have to say about it.

Nobody said she is "secretly in charge", but she is not "just a lawyer who handles contracts" as you ignorantly claim. She clearly has the owner's ear, she clearly is involved in the selection process and she clearly has a noteworthy degree of input. Sorry not sorry but yeah, she has some culpability into the clustermess we've all seen these past several months.

If you deny that, you're delusional.

I feel bad for Jerod this morning. He was elevated to a position for which he had neither the qualifications nor the experience. Ideally, he would have gained more experience as an assistant or coordinator before getting a HC job. Hard to pick up the pieces at this point.

FWIW, I think that was the plan. When Kraft made the promise to Mayo that he would be the next HC, it was all roses and sunshine at Patriot Place. I don't think they ever imagined Belichick was going to be fired so soon. Belichick without Brady was supposed to suck less and Mayo was supposed to have more learning under his belt before taking over, maybe even a few years as DC.

Unfortunately, things went south faster than a duck in winter. Belichick was fired and Kraft had a regrettable contractual obligation he had to honor.

Milton is fun, isn't he?

Some team wants to Rob Johnson him... awesome. Let the bidding begin

I want a #1 or no deal.

Milton will be valuable for the next three years as Maye’s backup, starter as needed.

I don’t care that we got him in the 6th round.

He has outstanding physical talent and I want a return that provides at least as much value as Milton does.

Yeah I am in the same boat. There's also value in having him here to push Maye, even though I don't think Maye is the type of guy who really needs to be pushed. Still, competition breeds excellence. Additionally, Maye's play style will potentially lead to a missed game here and there and it will be very good to have a capable player like Milton behind him.

In his final contract year I would be fine with trading him for a 2nd round pick, like Jimmy G.

Milton last game was definitely a fun. However it was just one game and it seems many people found out a gem and a big asset. I just want to know what is his real value, what is the price for him if he is available?
I remember before the season he was treated as a "gadget player", someone with a cannon in his arm but very raw player. Let me get this straight, I wish he could be a good QB but first I want to see him more in action.

Ok, I agree with everything what was said about Milton's play. He is gifted, explossive,he played with passion. He's got everything to be a good QB. So what happened in the draft he was taken so low, almost no one saw him as a real QB and now, after one game some teams believe he would be the guy.
