Patriots Pregame Thread 11/2/25 - Atlanta Falcons vs NE Patriots pregame thread

THIS is a batshit insane take. I get that it's not YOUR take.
By that reasoning Craig Woodson is right there with him.

it's not my take, I'm not going to tell you I've watched every snap of NFL rookie because I haven't.
As of today, he's the consensus odds on favourite to win DROY, with J. Campbell just behind him.
That said I am a PSU fan so I've watched the majority of his college snaps, and some with the Giants.
I think he's going to be a very good player, again just my opinion.

This and Henderson missing one block in his very first game as a pro seems to have thrown half the board into 'He can't pass block ever'.

He's a fine pass blocker, he's as good, if not better, than Stevenson.

Agree

Saw that. They also did a segment on the little 20 yard field showing how OSU WRs box out defenders and leinhart throws to Gronk as he walks down the field.
Gronk catches it and does a Gronk spike.
Gronk cracks me up, it’s like he’s still 17

Another disappointing year for the Lions.
Really good team for the past number of years, but just not top tier, can't compete with the big boys.
Luckily our Pats are on the up and up.
And my Jays are one win away. Hope they can close it out, but man starting Max tonight scares the **** out of me.
I was at game 1 last Friday night, what an experience.

I don't think he's available. Abdul Carter being a bust is one of the quietest stories in the league right now.

I was just thinking about how we haven't heard a thing about how HIS season was going. You'd think if he's been bad, it would be a huge story in NYC. But it also would be a huge one if he's been good. So, no story at all seems a bit odd. I'm guessing he's in the "he's shown flashes" stage of his career.

Really all we can do is cross our fingers and hope Henderson rises to the challenge. It's not like he doesn't understand how it works, given he was good at it in college. I think at some point Vrabel needs to just be like "Buddy. You're only gonna succeed if you push through the fear."

I genuinely think Henderson has been slow to accept the hard hitting in the NFL and it led to some hesitancy. I'm basing this all off of one preseason quote where he remarked how shocked he was at how hard you get hit in the NFL, but it can explain a lot. But last week showed something, I have full faith that he can show us another thing this week. He's smart enough, he has the tools, and he has done it before.

He's a rookie.

It’s amazing the difference between being at a playoff game, especially a close one compared to a regular season baseball game.
My son and I,Red Sox fans were at Yankee stadium for game 1 of the WC series and it was unbelievable.

I had one of the funnest nights of my life.
I'm about 2 hrs from Toronto and me and a buddy got down there around 3PM and had an airbnb so let's just say the drinks were flowing.
The whole city was on fire (not literally), it was a great night from start to finish.

Bruh.
He missed ONE block.

But for awhile it seemed like they didn't trust him in doing as much?

 

[Uptown]

 

[Mack Herron]

 

[Vindicate]

He's a rookie.

You all are acting like I'm indicting the guy, when I'm literally saying what you're saying essentially lmao. He has all the tools and should be ready at any moment. My post was responding to someone being worried about missing out on Stevenson's blitz pickup.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Uniform matchup!

 

[Patjew]

Bruh.
He missed ONE block

And had three holding penalties.

Uniform matchup!

Thank the football gods those historically incorrect LOSER uniforms are consigned to the nostalgia set. Unfortunately, we have this nonsense forced on us tomorrow:

Huh?
We're wearing those Nov 13 no?

It surprises me how many fans dismiss Stevenson’s outstanding pass protection as an afterthought, given that everybody seems to agree that protecting Maye is priority #1.

Some people only value the production with the ball in their hands
