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

[Real fan 02]

The Guy jump Offsides on 3rd and less than a yard: so disciplined. A BB Team never does that.

Yeah he will fit right in at UNC.. vederian lowes improvement is not a NFL tackle.

Marcus Jones' slot coverage rankings:

37.5 passer rating against (2nd/36th)
0.69 yards per snap (8th/36th)
8.7 snaps per target (4th/36th)
14.5 snaps per reception (2nd/36th)

He's a top 10 slot CB & elite PR. Extend him now.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Thought the Bills would run on us with ease.

I think Jennings and White playing more than Chiasson is perhaps a big difference.

I will also say that having Gonzalez back there allows them an extra body elsewhere.

According to this site, Chiasson did not play any defensive snaps at all

No, not really. At least not on the radio.

They already knew they would suffer this year on defense.

They are expecting a couple of big defenders back, one at CB and Ed Oliver. They also think Shaq Thompson will be an upgrade over Milano who is a shell of himself.

They have some concerns at safety... but so do we.

On offense, they believe Kincaid is finally emerging and that the offense needs to rethink things.

They think they will be fine if they rediscover the running game, and feature Kincaid more than Coleman (Coleman has been the top target so far, but it should be Kincaid instead). Shakir and the other WRs should provide complimentary support.

They think the defense will be mediocre all year, but that the offense has room for improvement, and it will improve.

A weird thing to say about a team that scored 30+ points in so many consectuive games, but I can't blame them when I see them forcing the ball to Coleman while Kincaid was killing us.

Yeah, it mainly came down to the turnovers last night. It just seemed like the kind of loss that would really get to ppl. But buffalo is still the team to beat here in the afce.

The CB’s were truly Bill’s parting gift. Really the one position he never lost his fastball with.

Marcus's pick on Allen was a thing of beauty textbook.

Here is one thread they have today.....

Was Drake Maye THAT good yesterday?

Obviously, he had a good game. And the standout "amazing" play was when he was getting dragged down and got it to Diggs. But the hype I've heard today is off the charts. He had a good half - but I thought his big throws were more a product of our defense faltering in that half. The receivers were...

Most of the billdos say he is just average, that if their defense didnt suck they would have won.....duh. That Drake is not Allen and that the Saints will beat us next week. That's the main take away I got from the thread.

I was checking out the Bills radio feed pre game and one of their analysts said something like if Maye had a stinker of a game their fans would say he's nothing special and he thinks that would not be fair to Drake.

They're more pro Patriots than Boston radio. Lol

He was inactive. I’m guessing injured

Yes, he was on the injury report.

Not even a bad throw by Allen. Just an excellent defensive play.

 

[Bill Lee]

This.. Henderson and Williams lack of growth is concerning. Maybe we are being too greedy .

But the way Maye and diggs are playing and the fact that we have barmore, Williams, gonzo and Marcus Jones playing at all pro level - if we clean up penalties, fumbles and run game effective ess , our window starts this year .

Just need one of our wide receivers to stretch the field and that should open it up for everyone else. The two tight end tandem is fantastic and Mac Hollins is a great signing too. His blocking and red zone effectiveness is exemplary.

Pop, Williams , rham and Henderson need to step up a lot more and I hope OL play on run plays improves.

Let's not waste a season when maye is magical.

Rome wasn't built in a day...

If he got in, his induction speech better be: Walk to the podium. Say thank you. Fall down.

My favorite Brandon Lloyd moment was when he ducked at an incoming pass lol

 

[TheRainMaker]

Probably the best defensive game from Marcus Jones. The pass breakup on a guy way bigger than him in Coleman and then the interception later. There are plays that he gave up, but I can't see if the WR's got help from picks which seriously needs to be outlawed by the NFL. But G's assisting communication between the QB and C are a bigger problem. It's so bad for the game. If I were a DC, I'd tell my guys to jump every time the G gets up and twists his body towards the QB. That would absolutely draw false starts or start the conversation with the rules committee. There were a few defensive players in other games flinching yesterday and got back on their side when G's were doing this.

Also, Bills were false starting all night.

 

[DaBruinz]

I don't know. An hour flight versus 8 plus hours drive on I-90 NY thruway? Which I have done many a time. Give me the flight unless docs nix it.

If it's a torn ACL, the amount of pain from the pressure changes would be excruciating. But, maybe with the technology now, they can put him on a drip or something. *shrug*.

 

[TommyD4207]

The theme makes it into every thread IMO because, like it or not, Bill is a huge part of our football heritage,

Heritage. It's been nearly 2 years since he was fired. It has nothing to do with the 2025 Patriots season in the slightest.

It only makes it in every thread because schizos (both sides of schizos) can't just let **** go and move on. Brady's last season here was SIX years ago.

My god, people.

Gotta disagree. They are rookies in a complex offense. Kyle Williams is behind 4 vets. Henderson was behind 2 excellent vets in Rham and Gibson and was still getting touches. Now, he's going to be the #2.

It's very rare that a College WR comes in and is stellar their first season.

 

[TommyD4207]

The theme makes it into every thread IMO because, like it or not, Bill is a huge part of our football heritage, is still a big part of how we view football, and still shapes what the current product on the field looks like. Clearly Vrabel picked up a lot of what he does and what he likes from his time with Bill, our current executives are hugely influenced by their time with Bill, etc.

And as @Ian suggests, go ahead and hit that thread mute button on me and others if we annoy you. It's better than trying to brow-beat people into only talking about the things you want them to talk about the way you want them to talk about them. I use his blocking/ignoring/muting features all the time and my experience here is far better for it.

Also, it's not 'browbeating' to ask you to talk about the thread topic in the thread, and not talk about schizo **** in a thread that's not about schizo ****.

Don't be such a damned snowflake.
