PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Beat Bills 23-20

[Wozzy]

Said it before the game, play mistake free and they can win this game. They weren’t perfect, but the Bills made more mistakes.

Stay healthy, continue to improve on the backend in coverage. This is a top 5 defense… not bottom half of the league as I was recently told.

Offense is young, Diggs is old.. but playing young. Josh needs to open it up a little, execution needs to be improved, turnovers limited… but we have a franchise QB behind a decent line with good weapons.

The loss of Gibson will hurt, RB depth is thin. Not much to speak of on the practice squad. Kick returns will be something to watch. They need to stay healthy, but this is a contender if they can.

Few of you ****ers need to self banish to The Practice Squad. Make like the knights of old and take yourselves on a redemption quest to silent irrelevance.

No matter the outcome of tomorrow’s game, the Pats are now the #7 seed in the AFC, and also only 1 game out of the division lead and #1 seed.

If we just win the games where we're favored the Pats are a playoff team.

We're going to be favorites in a lot of games on this schedule.

Oh and this is the reason the kicker got a game ball btw. He has been nails ever since.

 

[DaBruinz]

Anyone else notice that FG was even with the TOP of the uprights from 52 yards. That might have made it from 68

The one FG earlier went right over the net.

Gibson update?

He was in tears after he left the medical tent. I am betting it is season ending. At best I am guessing he will be IRed and hopefully return later in the season. It isn’t going to be good.

Thats cause they put up bildo nets......seriously

Thanks a lot!! Cleaning my keyboard now!!

 

[BobDigital]

Stars... There are a lot.

Maye
Diggs
Campbell
Boutte with some huge and heads up plays
Gonzo not perfect but had a huge series late to slam the door
Barmore cause some big issues, but also a few times Josh got away... but that is what Josh does.
Andy with the huge pressure kick
Williams* I think i need to add him too...

Good players who are not quite stars but close.

Bradbury... Did well but he didn't exactly stone wall Ed Oliver and not opening a ton of run lanes
M Jones... Had some big big plays... But also gave up a few big ones.. much more good than bad.. but can't call him a star.
Spillane... Still looks slow... but some huge stuff tonight. That play change in the firs half to stop a key Josh Allen run is memorable. Won't show up on the stat sheet but very heads up.
Moses.... Did you notice him tonight? Not going against Bosa... but no penalties.. stone walled his guy. Great edge play.

**** list.

Stevenson... Your 2 TDs don't impress me. How have you not fixed the fumbles... like you don't know its a problem.
Lowe... WTF... You had 1 job. 1 play.
Farmer.... Come on man... you have to be smarter than that.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Not getting ahead of myself at all. He hasn’t played a playoff game, how could I judge him on that.
I’m judging him on what he does on the football field, and today, I defy you find 5 better QBs.

Allen
Mahomes
Herbert
Hurts
Stafford
Mayfield
Lamar (injured)

He was better than Allen tonight. But it is one game.

In the future, I believe Maye will be good enough to win a SB. They need to surround him with good weapons. The D needs improvement.

 

[ViperGTS]

I bought into the arms thing.

I was incredibly wrong.
He has a been a lynchpin for us.
A fortress for Maye.

His arms are a bit short for sure. No glossing that over. But the dude, once he crosses onto the field he turns into a dude I would want next to me if a fight was about to happen.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

The more you watch this team the more ridiculous promising Jerod Mayo the job like he was Bill Walsh and not just hiring Vrabel last year looks.

[FCB02062]

Just go 6-6 the rest of the way gives you a good shot at the tournament

 

[DaBruinz]

Hasty and the FB ?

But I’d rather they explore more options. Find your Jonas Gray.

Hasty is on Miami's PS.
He was lousy in pre-season. No thanks.

[TB12TheGoat]

that’s what those ****s get for throwing the week 18 game against the Pats last season

 

[Delicate Genius]

One of the reporters just ate **** during Rham's press conference. lol

 

[Hugepatsfan]

Diggs is a 30+ WR coming off an ACL. Those guys usually are shells of themselves in year 1 back.
His bounce back is superhuman relative to other players.

Landry had good sack numbers last year but showed no real juice for actually beating anyone. A bunch of coverage sacks and beating protection breakdowns but little overall impact. He’s turned the clock back though and is giving them a respectable outside rush to compliment the strong interior they built.

Those two guys exceeding expectations at KEY positions is a drastic shift for the outlook of this team. Along with, of course, a big leap out of Maye. An actual semblance of a #1 WR and edge rushing threat along with a QB that might be closer to elite tier than maybe anticipated have the potential to cover up for the roster still overall being pretty weak. Between that and the weak schedule the playoffs are very realistic for this team and it only takes 1-2 good offseason and this team might very well find themselves a Super Bowl favorite (not just dark horse contender even).

Williams has been worth every single last penny they paid him. What a coup getting him in FA.

 

[BobDigital]

Gibson update?

The look on his face said it all... He's done for the year.
