PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Beat Saints 25-19

[TheRainMaker]

Think more Pats games get flexed now?

Gotta think Drake Maye will attract eyeballs.

Right now, I'm not seeing any switches for SNF or MNF other than Buffalo in week 15. This game could get switched with Miami at Pittsburgh, but I'm not sure if the NFL has switched a team playing on Sunday to Monday.

Priority number one to fix. Can't go far in the playoffs without a January running game. No reason why it shouldn't be better than this.

The rbs never have a chance. OL not opening any holes

 

[ScottishPatriots]

The Patriots are going to be much more of a destination for free agents than they have been in a long time with Maye playing like this.

We are no longer in the Cleveland like wastelands of the NFL where we lived the past 2 off seasons.

Our safeties aren't very good. Maybe releasing Peppers wasn't a good idea.

 

[jboston19]

Even Mike Reiss made mention of the wretched officiating. But it’s really good to see the Pats winning against the opponents and refs again!

Nice job staying focused and getting the job done! 4-2 feels good.

Boutte and Douglas really stepped up today. Props to them. Especially Boutte. Drake with another good game. Campbell continues to play well. I liked after cooling off in the second half, the offense got the job done when needed to close it out. Would have been nice if they got a FG after getting the ball at mid field but what are you gonna do. Offense got screwed a couple of times with phantom OPI calls too.

Defense was a little disappointing. Was it Williams and Barmores worst game? They seemed quiet today. Olave got way too much. Thank god Landry is ok. Just glad we did enough to win.

4 and 2 LFG. We should win next week too!

They can also flex 1pm games into the mid day slot.

A few things. F the refs. BOTH qbs played well. Maye throws the ball deep with little effort. I can't remember ever seeing him put his whole body into a throw and I'm curious how hard and far can he actually throw it if he had to. Refs erased great plays by Diggs and Douglas and ruined their stats.

Our second half defense wasn't bad but we need to consistently stop the run better. Dugger made me miss Hawkins lol. I have never been a fan of Josh's run game but today it single-handedly held our offense back today. The blocking, the design, when it was called was all trash. You cannot be this one dimensional and expect to go far. I'm still tired of Rham but his blocking was on point and that is important.

Lastly, Josh used to run effective screens year in and year out...where is this??

Maye is in the MVP conversation

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

Nightmares

They can also flex 1pm games into the mid day slot.

Given sufficient notice, they can flex the MNF and, with three weeks notice, Thursday night games.

So where are we now in the March for Arch race? Today was a bit of a setback.











Lol

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

A win is a win.

But I don't want to hear another word about Spencer Rattler ever again. He's now 1-12 as a starting QB and averaging 230 yards passing and 1 TD. For anyone that is thinking about posting something about him....don't.

Rattler was really good. He impressed me in the short passing game.

 

[signbabybrady]

If nobody said it yet that's 4 wins already

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Could be a playoff team at this rate

 

[raduray]

Running on first down over and over again with no significant gain. I thought Josh was setting up an RPO play, but no.

Maye is in the MVP conversation

Without Maye where are the Pats?

Isn’t that the definition of most valuable player?

[PromisedLand]

A great road win. It feels so good to be 4-2 after the past 5 years, and especially the past 2. If we hadn't turned the ball over 5x against the Steelers we'd be 5-1! Actually we only won 3 games legit last year - week 18 v Bills' 3d stringers doesn't really count, does it?

Still some work to do though - we couldn't run the ball at all, and we only scored 3 points in the 2nd half, but let's not be greedy, right? A win is a win!

He got flagged for OPI right after the video ended.
