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

[FCB02062]

Perry just said on the post game...first half, 13 first down plays 8 passes and 5 runs....second half 10 first down plays....8 runs, 2 passes. Inexcusable

Shouldn’t even count last season as a real season for Maye. Give him OROTY anyway. Lol

 

[festy1986]

They gotta do something about the poor tackling and the middle of the field being a flood gate of opportunity for the offense.

Other than that, Drake is the real deal.

5) Maye is certainly an MayeVP candidate. Told you haters!

Who are the Drake Maye haters?

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

He got flagged for OPI right after the video ended.

With all the questionable calls on Diggs, I thought maybe he dated and dumped the SJ daughter.

Could be a playoff team at this rate

Not really "could be", they are very easily in the wild card window. At this point I would be surprised if they don't at least make the 7 seed. The rest of their schedule is really bad.

 

[raduray]

Didn’t think he was bad outside of the 3rd and 7 handoff. Cant totally abandon running the ball this season.

Yeah, but not predictably on first down.

AND while carrying the team in his shoulders has thrown 1 int in 133 passes

OT - at least last year the Pats didn't lose players to injury in the locker room...

Colts' Richardson has orbital fracture from mishap

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. sustained an orbital fracture during pregame warmups and was inactive for his team's 31-27 victory over game the Cardinals.

They just played the reigning MVP last week...but sure, best they've faced all season.

Trust your eyes.

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.

We signed a lot of FAs last year including the best defensive FA. What difference do you see in 2026?

They still haven't got that standout WR to commit.

 

[stcjones]

Ecstatic with the win but we need to figure out our running game and OL blocking going forward as that was abysmal. Didn’t help that McDaniels was so predictable and everyone at home and in the stadium knew he was going to run it again! D is banged up and didn’t play their best game but stepped up when it was needed. A W is a W and we are on to Tennessee….

PS watching the TB/SF game and the run blocking by Tampa Bay was phenomenal….we are a long way from that right now

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Think more Pats games get flexed now?

Gotta think Drake Maye will attract eyeballs.

Before the Bills game we bought tix for the Bills @ Pats thinking prices would go up if they look like theyll have a chance for the division. Clutch decision by yours truly. Anticipated it would get flexed to SNF

 

[signbabybrady]

Maye is in the MVP conversation

MayeVP

 

[VJCPatriot]

TOURCH ALERT !

You can add 52 yards more for the phantom penalty call on Diggs for a push off that never happened. In my mind Maye had a 300 yard game even though it won’t be remembered that way in history because of the crappy officiating.

 

[mike_usagisan]

Good teams overcome bad officiating.

What FA wide receiver did you want last year?

Could be a playoff team at this rate

I’ve said it since the summer. This is a playoff team.

We are 4-2
We play the jets twice
Tenn
Miami at home
Cleveland
Cincy
Baltimore (1-5)
Giants

Win even 6 of those 8 we are in the playoffs. (I can’t see us losing any)

And our remaining 3 are
Atlanta
Tampa
Buffalo at home after beating them in the road

Which we gave a great chance at winning.

 

[stcjones]

Oh wow! So much admiration for Vrabel and so much for the team for fighting through ... adversity. And this was not a win against a bad team.

I didn’t know NO was that good this year?! Rattler played well against us today but overall he is pretty average and usually prone to alot of mistakes
