I’m going to sleep tonight and dream about first down runs

 

[farn]

Great win!

100%. A team, on the road, goes to NO to get a win and tie last year’s total ? I love it.

 

[signbabybrady]

I ****ing love Boutte.

Get him some Jambalaya!

 

[The Gr8est]

What was that stat that only Brady and Maye have both accomplished?

Did Maye do it this game?

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Great win cs a team that certainly could have been a letdown after the Bills win.

That said…

1. Defense still looks shaky as hell

2. This could legitimately be the worst rushing team in NFL history if it stays true to form.

 

[TommyD4207]

Great road win. Overcame some spotty refereeing. In Maye We Trust!!!!

This is the most generous, charitable interpretation of the refereeing today.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Drake was sensational, the refs were horrendous.

The running game is going to cost us unless we get another back, i know the blocking isn't exactly elite but Stevenson just has no explosion and Henderson looks lost right now the insistence on forcing it on 1st down only to lose yardage every time was infuriating.

If they just let Drake have the ball in his hands on 1st and 2nd down on that drive early in the 3rd Q this is probably ending up a 20 pt victory, that was a chance to ice it early.

RBs need to stop worrying about fumbling and run like normal. They are useless the way they run like they think the objective is to keep the ball and not actually gain yards.

 

[italian pat patriot]

We avoided classic trap game

I hope to do not see anymore this ref crew...

4-2 looks so sweet !

Maye Boutte Marcus Jones were impressive, my top 3 today

Vrabel is another planet compared to Mayo...

 

[sb1]

Drake was nails on 3rd and long.

Also Stevenson ain’t the guy. We should do better and I think we can.

 

[maust]

The Saints are significantly better than their record indicates, plenty of grit on that team. Overall the less said about the officiating in this one the better

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

3-0 on the road, not bad.

 

[cupofjoe1962]

Nice win & a great game by Maye & Boutte
4-2 with little to no running game

 

[patsinthesnow]

Maye’s having the third best sophomore season in the last 30 years behind Warner & Mahomes through 6 games.

Boutte continues to make clutch plays. He’s developing into a dependable WR2.

 

[State]

A Juwan Johnson fumble and then a third down conversion to Boutte was the difference.

Close game but a deflating loss to Saints fans. They've given a Bucky Dent new name for Juwan Johnson.

 

[signbabybrady]

Add 4 minute Offense to Drake's done it list

 

[VJCPatriot]

Despite some bad officiating, the Patriots get it done in New Orleans. 4-2 with a return to Tennessee for Vrabel up next.

Keep in mind it’s never easy winning on the road.

This game would have been much more comfortable if our offensive play calling wasn’t so bad in the second half.

Definitely will take the win. Maye proved he’s still THAT GUY. And Boutte proved he’s a legit option across from Diggs now.

We can definitely build from this win but plenty of mistakes to clean up. It feels a lot better to coach up an imperfect win than try to recover from a close loss.

I disagree, we should say more. Several of those referees out there today deserve to be fired. The league had to step in MULTIPLE times to overturn calls.
