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

[The Gr8est]

Pats should be 4-1 in all truth.

They clearly outplayed the Steelers.

 

[Ross12]

Remember how we used to get tormented by Diggs when he played against us?

Remember all the times playing against us that Josh Allen would get flushed out of the pocket and and still manage to connect to a receiver down the sideline while he was being tackled?

Shoe is on the other foot now.

No kidding, the Pats basically beat the 2025 Bills by emulating the style of the 2022 Bills

 

[Thelonious]

Clean up the stupid ass penalties and maybe they can make a legitimate run.

That's true....though, maybe the nastiness of a couple of those penalties set the Bills back on their heels a little. Make of it what you will. It's not the worst thing to be the bully in a football game.

 

[Ross12]

The Ravens are falling apart. Wonder if Derrick Henry might be available?

 

[Lavictoire]

Talent matters, the guys like Williams and Diggs are the reason we had a chance to win this game.

Hopefully this is the start of this franchise realizing big time talent matters and the Brady years of doing more with less are gone, we need these game changing players to make the game changing plays.

Look what Brady did with Moss. Problem was Brady was so starved for a big-time WR it was like crack cocaine and after awhile he went to him too much while neglecting his signature moving-the-chains dink and dunk passes.

Kinda wild that if this team cleaned up their penalties, they'd only have one loss and potentially have another score up on the Bills. They really do have the keys in their hand for once. This is great.

Side note: TEs feasted on our LBs as expected. We gotta figure this out.

It's not going to be figured out until next year. It just is what it is for 2025. Hope they play better, is all we can do.

They can feast as long as they aren’t beating us.

 

[BobDigital]

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.

I was thinking about this but didn't want to get into it before this game

Rodgers
Darnold
Williams
Prescott
Stafford
Herbert
Mayfield
Maye
Love
Goff
Hurts
Burrow
Jackson
Allen
Mahomes

I didn't exactly put them in reverse order... but i think there is some separation between these 15 guys and everyone else... I think everyone else is just different degrees of bad. Purdy hasn't shown much of it is him as much as the cast and system. Bo Nix hasn't shown me this year he belongs on this list. Rodgers has issues... but he still has enough to be considered more good than bad.

Can we agree this group of 15 should be considered good and then there is a clear drop off to 'not good'? I won't worry about listing degrees of bad. After that we can start debating order.

Diggs played an incredible game tonight. So impressed with his effort and talent. We have not seen a WR like this on the patriots since Edelman who looks like he knows what he is doing. Surpassed my wildest expectations.

Maye tonight was great and he DELIVERED in a key situation and under immense pressure with the game on the line. Hopefully, this is the first of many.

Campbell played a great game tonight and thus far I will also admit I was wrong about him. He has helped Maye out immensely

DL interior played great and so did the CB's, especially Marcus Jones.

Maye has toughness and poise...that are fantastic. If he keeps progressing like this I will happily admit I have been wrong about him because he could be a top 5 qb.

 

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

Just want to call out all the Boutee doubters. He might not be a JJ or Chase. But he has been there when we need him and is only getting better. I would not package him in a trade unless it were straight up for a player like AJ brown. If they were smart they’d give him a budget friendly contract for 2-3 years like right now.

 

[The Gr8est]

Kinda wild that if this team cleaned up their penalties, they'd only have one loss and potentially have another score up on the Bills. They really do have the keys in their hand for once. This is great.

Henry also dropped a TD pass he normally wouldn’t.

 

[Pats2000]

Stefon Diggs return to health has changed the Patriots fortune, i would love to get another elite WR in the off season and him to slide into the #2 role then think how good we'd be.

Give Kyle Williams some time to develop

From the Jills forum:



This one's gonna sting for a long time!

 

[Tunescribe]

One wondrous thing is from now on when a Jills fan sees a "cool white" uniform they're gonna remember tonight!

That was a pretty incredible atmosphere with everyone in the stadium wearing white. I've been to games there and it gets really loud. Going into that lion's den and beating an undefeated presumptive Super Bowl contender straight up is one helluva accomplishment. I'll bet the Prairie Cows and their "mafia" fans are in shock right now. Their short AFCE reign is on its way out sooner than later.

 

[bormio]

Nice win.
That kicker nailed it. Would have been good from 62 yards.
Oline didn't flinch during that kick either.
If this team can clean up the stupid penalties, they can beat anybody in the AFC.

There are teams in the AFC thought to be good that are a mess. Ravens, Chargers and Bengals come to mind. People laugh about the AFC East - AFC North isn’t much either

Great job of limiting James Cook. This is why I don't agree with those bothered about the linebackers. I think they've been great the last three weeks.

I don’t know if I want Henry. I think he may have hit the age wall. He was awesome against Buffalo week one and has been mediocre to average since. He is 31. That is ancient for a RB.
