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

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Bradbury's play has been a revelation. He has reinvented himself here, I don't think any of us expected this level of play out of him. When he was signed the reaction was largely 'Okay he's adequate until the position can be upgraded.' Instead he's outright killing it

One explanation for the jump could be that he has better guard play around him. It was terrible the last couple years in Minnesota. Also marrone here. The other explanation is it could be a fluke and he’ll eventually regress. Hope it is the former, if so great find and research by the front office.

I'm not to opposed to Chris Olave either: he's been concussion free so far. Also they throw to him a lot: he's a good possession Receiver: we'll see him on Sunday. Would love the A.J. Brown acquisition this season: but I don't see it Twin with that Eagles Dead money hit. Next Off-season seems more likely.

Yeah I know about the contract but we have to remember NFL is a business.. if teams want to make a deal they do so regardless of a contract.. we could assume some and then the eagles could eat some.. remember we have close to 60 million in unused cap $$ from. Olave, DJ Moore i would like as well. Kyle Williams I'm not sure why Josh isn't taking shots down field with him.. he could unlock this offense downfield.

Ok: I'm going to bet Fingers and Toes that Mahomes and Reid is winning that pathetic West Division. They own those B!tches.

Yep.

I definitely do not think the Chargers win the division. The implosion has already started. Cursed franchise.

Denver....not yet. Bo Nix is too inconsistent. I believe Maye is will end up being better.

Raiders...lol.

Chiefs...too good to not string wins together. And as long as they get in, who in the AFC is challenging them? Buffalo is very flawed and do not have the coaching needed to beat them in January. Pittsburgh is a pretender. Chargers...cursed.

I saw on one Review a play that Maye wanted to go to him but the Safety was shading that area. They're trying I can't wait to see it. Kinda sickening seeing Tyquan do for Mahomes what we Drafted for oh well.

Yeah.. but you know what twin.. Tyquan wasn't ever on the feild here. Remember wolf traded Tyquan last season after he was a starter last season. I think k. Williams will turn out to be a good player.

I saw some posters discussing Herbert as this top QB. Herbert is a talented QB but I believe he's already reached his potential.

What gets' me with Justin Herbert is that; he gets' a lot of balls Tipped for a 6'6 guy. The Chargers have put very good players around him even WR Quentin Johnston have finally come around: they have our Ladd McConkey thanks to Wolf plus RB O Hampton. Herbert is gonna run out of excuses one of these seasons. He seems like Trevor Lawrence: never good enough to get his Team over the Top.

Anybody still want Josh Simmons?

I’ve been thinking just that regarding his acquisition. Somebody, front office or coach, thought highly of him. Kudos to whoever championed his cause

I see the AFC like the NFC was in the two Gints SB years; a lot of flawed teams out there and it will be the one-two teams who starting in games 13-17 are healthiest and can put something together to go on a run; that will be in the AFCCG and then represent in SB*.

* and then likely lose to the NFC by 2-3 scores (~17 pts).

I dont like the ending; but 17 games is a long season and we have 9 games before that point.... so it could even be Pats who could be one of those 2 AFC teams this year. Unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Most likely outcome is WC and 1 & done in playoffs.

But bottom line...... it is so early in season; just enjoy that we are watching competitive football in Sep-Oct. Think about the rest after Thanksgiving.

Not sure taht TT is doing all that much for Mahomes. 60% catch rate for the top receiver on the team this weekend (3 of 5) aint going to do it longterm.

Especially if Worthy just tweaked his ankle again and is out a couple weeks. Without a prime WR to distract the coverage, TT will be blanketed and other than a go-route on a short-up playing safety, he wont bring much.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but on that miracle throw by Drake to Diggs right before the 2 minute warning it looked to be a designed QB run if you watch Mack Hollins he's not looking to get open he is looking to make a block. So for Diggs to be alert enough to get open is even more amazing IMO.

Diggs regained his elite pre-injury quickness and on top of it I think he processes the game at a very high level out there, recognizing when and how to make himself available to his qb. You can tell when some guys have great athleticism on paper but are indecisive on the field and it slows them down.

Callahan mentioned that they left his dropbacks alone, so whatever it is comes after that.

I believe the increased number of play actions per game has helped lead to better footwork.

I know he won't be a volume guy: but so far 272yds with a 20.9 average is pretty sick.

I'm so glad he's back but I wouldn't mind getting him some help. IF a Team is having a fire sale I'm going after a WR and RB. Raiders beat us game 1: and been on the losing end ever since: I wonder if they would move on from Jakobi Meyers?? He knows McDaniels Offense.

Maye's footwork is so much better: improved footwork leads to more accurate passes.

Yep, front office deserves alot of credit and these are the type of moves that really give me hope moving forth. Its easy to throw money at milton williams/davis/landry or take Will Campbell at 4 / Henderson at 36 . Those were great moves too, But some of these unheralded signings like

bradbury- looked bad on the Vikings line, nobody wanted him, fitting in great thus far
diggs- wasn’t cheap but was a huge risk and really had minimal interest elsewhere. Most say we overpaid and now that deal looks like a bargain if this is the diggs we get for a couple years
Tonga
The woodson pick
Bryant in rd 7, remains to prove it but showed enough to be set as our swing tackle

These are the type of finds that we used to make in the good ole days and we’re already seeing a handful of them.

And Remember they wanted WR Chris Godwin Jr in FA too. Diggs and Godwin would have been a nasty combo: what might have been.

Makes it VERY hard to believe is some of these "stats pages" when it claims success for Campbell on 40 pass block snaps and the Pats only threw the ball 28 times. See the problem?

When he gets to Stanley Steamer, give me a call.
