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

[Ross12]

12 games to go. The Pats’ remaining 12 opponents are a combined 18-41 (.305). Of those 18 wins, 12 come from 4 teams (Bills, Bucs, Bengals, Falcons). The other 8 teams combine for 6 wins/34 losses.

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.

It was still tied 0-0 and the usuals were saying we suck and the game is over.

 

[hellolin]

Got our Logan Mankins back.

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

I hope there’s a video clip somewhere. I’ll be looking for it. But please spill the deets so I know what to look for…

 

[UGAPatsfan]

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

I had that same thought but doubt Ravens would consider it

Pats were ahead (6-3) and they were still on that same shtick

 

[BobDigital]

Re-signing Marcus Jones is an off-season priority. Week 2 of making that point.

Could do what the Bills did with Cooks and resign him now.

 

[upstater1]

K Chaission get back please.

Why? So teams can run on us endlessly?

 

[Ring 6]

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.

Purdy belongs in that list, certainly over Williams or Darnold or Prescott and fossil Rodgers
Daniels should be on this list too.
Tua has produced more than a few of them.
Stroud belongs on the list.

I don’t see 5 better than Maye in 2025

Rham was speaking, there was a noise off camera, and then Rham asked whoever it was that fell if they were okay.

 

[Thunderhead]

Not just fans watching...lots of players around the league probably started taking the Pats more serious tonight. Could pay dividends in trades/FA down the line with the team becoming more of a destination. Such a huge win.

Vrabel's transcript:

TRANSCRIPT: Mike Vrabel Postgame Press Conference 10/6 | PatsFans.com

ere's what New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel had to say following the Patriots 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.

www.patsfans.com

You can tell he wasn't happy with the pass rush tonight Gives them a solid thing to work on defensively this week.

 

[Ross12]

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.

Yeah, as a lead back I agree, but in a rotation with Henderson and Stevenson, I’m game. They need a power back like him in a bad way.

They will trip up a coupe of times no doubt but the Bucs are the only ones that scare me. The Ravens too if they get their act together but that doesn't seem a given right now.

Why? So teams can run on us endlessly?

The full pass rush only works when both pass rushers are out there.

Playing Tonga more has solved the run issues.

Daniels should be on this list too.
Tua has produced more than a few of them.
Stroud belongs on the list.

I don’t see ANY that I would trade Maye straight up for.

 

[Bill Lee]

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.

Yes, it can be loud there, but it didn't seem as loud as it had been in the past, at least not how it was broadcast tonight.

I do feel their window is closing.

It's ironic they will get that new stadium next season and as usual there will be people claiming it's not as good as the old days with the ****ty stadium, just like some here still wish we were in Shaeffer Stadium.

It'll give them one more thing to blame as the window slams shut, but of course will have nothing to do with it at all.

They will trip up a coupe of times no doubt but the Bucs are the only ones that scare me. The Ravens too if they get their act together but that doesn't seem a given right now.

Ravens may be looking at 2026 by the time they play them (week 15). Agreed on Bucs.

They really just need to find 6, perhaps 7, wins against that group to make the playoffs.

Makes a lot of sense. He's one of Vrabel's boys. Man that would be a huge lift for this team.
