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

[ViperGTS]

On the road vs a division rival

Think he still thinks Daniels is light years better and will end up being light years better.

Statement win against the Bills and Refs on the road. Felt like a vintage Brady game.

The good:

- Played for all 60 min
- Clutch closing drive
- Some clutch performance by cornerstone players
- Won the turnover battle
- Kept Allen in check for the most part

The not so good:

- Dumb penalties
- Gibson injury
- Conservative play calling
- Gashed by Kincaid

Studs:

- Maye
- Diggs
- Borregales
- Barmore and Williams
- Jones

Next goal: Keep the pedal to the metal and don't let up. Should win at least 3 out of next 4.

Gibson update?

Unlikely to be anything tonight. Gotta wonder if they sent him for an MRI at the hospital or if they're gonna have one of the S&C coaches drive him back tomorrow. Can't imagine trying to make him fly with that..

I mainly just want to know if Ryan Poles’ chest feels OK

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Hasty and the FB ?

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

Something something Efton Chism something something play strength.

 

[PatsFan2]

Love that Pop Douglas showed a pulse tonight: he almost had a TD ball got tipped.

No ****. I have watched plenty of Daniels, Nix and Williams. Maye, if he reaches where he can, is easily better than any of them imo. Just something different.

 

[Ring 6]

They played Schooler over Hawkins for awhile tonight

That didn’t work out so well

Gibson injury sucks. Otherwise it was a fantastic win. It’s gunna be a great season

 

[DaBruinz]

If it wasn't for the two 15 unsportsmanlike penalties, first one was bs block into Allen, 2nd was a wtf brain cramp, it wasn't that close. It felt close. Lot of game balls tonight and I'm thinking Josh might be staying in bed tomorrow.

I think it was @Huckleberry1 who pointed out during the GDT that Farmer was playing until the whistle. Thats right. The refs hadn't blown the play dead.

And yes, my INITIAL reaction was that it was a brain cramp as well until Huck(?) pointed it out.

 

[Jim Beankie]

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.

Yeah it was about 2 years ago when Mac went 25/30 (83%) for 272yds 2TD 0INT against the BIlls (and Diggs). Maye has been incredible since Week 2 passing the ball, though. Hopefully he can sustain this excellence, and I believe he can with McD and Diggs.

I think Daniels is still better at this point. Not by a whole heck of a lot though. But I would rather have Maye. I think we will start to see Daniels miss more and more games over the years. He just isn’t built to play like he does ans stay healthy. He isn’t built like Josh Allen. He’ll, he isn’t even built like Maye.

Yep... Don't be the team that parties too hard after a huge win and has a let down game. This win not only made a statement. Now if we take care of business the Pats are in the playoffs.

 

[manxman2601]

That was Maye's 17th start. I wonder how season two will go?

 

[PatsFan2]

White played. Funny thing is that they ran away from his side almost exclusively.

K Chaission get back please.

 

[DaBruinz]

It's funny watching people who were b**tching about the team and Maye even after the last Pats TD drive pretending like they knew the Pats were going to win all along.

 

[Vindicate]

I will say, thank goodness there isn't a TB-led/Manning-led style offense out there because they'd pick this defense apart to the bone. That middle level is abused a lot.

 

[n1997y]

Kinda weird. We found a LT and a real WR and they start winning

Go figure

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

There's a lot to take away from this game... Most important:

- Drake Maye is legitimate. I'm 100% behind him against ANY QB active today. He has the tools.


- Rhamondre what the **** dude?.........wait ...you're actually the man?


- GONZO!!!!!


- and....

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Vrabel telling the team to calm down and concentrate after getting a lead with 15 seconds left at the Super Bowl fav meanwhile the 0-5 Jets coach when he ties the game with 2m left.



Coaching matters
