PostGame Thread 2025 OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots improve to 8-2 with win over Bucs

[ahmed]

Well done!!! Pats are making me forget about the **** show that is Liverpool this year!

Feels unreal. Did not see this coming.

Listen closely and you can hear the collective "Oh sh^t" emanating from NFL headquarters in NY...

1. Big win; the defense spotted them 7 points then gave up only 9 up until prevent time. Game ball to the defense.

2. Drake will learn from that situation. A FG is a good result there.

3. Hollins, Henderson and Williams come through.

4. A lot of dings and knocks, hopefully no injuries this game. Dirty hit on Mapu.

5. The rest of the schedule isn't as easy as people believe. Teams like the Giants are not pushovers. The front half of the schedule was much easier than the bottom half.

The Jets, who beat Cleveland 27-20 earlier today, are up next on Thurs night.

Just remembered the quick turnaround. Pretty brutal timing given how physical today's game was.

We aren't losing until next preseason.


I said it.

8-2. Seven straight wins. Essentially what is a 3-win lead over the Bills in the AFC East. Tied for the Colts at the top of the AFC. Just surreal.

Reports of much shouting, swearing, smashing of lamps and flowerpots and crashing of furniture coming from the executive suite at NYJFL HQ.

EDIT: two minds thinking alike @PatsFanInVa

Great win despite this bone head pick from Maye in the end where you absolutely cannot turn the ball over, but the coaching staff has to help him here too, stop wasting a down on a run when you're getting nothing on those formations.

As easy as it is to look past that game, I have a feeling everyone will be prepared and focused. Just a good team and coaching staff.

Pats showing that they definitely are for real now.

One of those years where people will be saying "fluke" one way or another until we hoist another Lombardi... and then they'll be all like "They clapped one game."

This games is the stamp that we are at least contending in the AFC

Maye needs to be smarter in the Redzone, Josh needs to stop being a dingus when ahead

The pats might not see a defense as good as the last 3 games until the SB if they make it. I expect the offense inconsistencies to improve vs. weaker teams. 435 yards & 28 points @ Tampa is still a great showing.

Def don’t want to take the Jets lightly. Look what Miami just did.

Outstanding day for the rookies. Obviously Hendo and Williams but Woodson had some outstanding solo tackles and made two big plays in pass defense.

Also Mack Hollins was great and a huge 4th quarter play by Chaisson.

I know. Who'da thunk the Colts would be that good again?

First things first. F the Bucs. Good hard fought win. The fast rookies had their day.

I don't miss Rham's running but the loss of his pass protection is felt. Maye is not the league MVP without Boutte in the lineup. I rescinded my vote when he threw that horrible red zone int. Unacceptable.

What a great, great win.
These guys will be sore.
But what a well deserved win. Toughness!!!
Damn!!!!!
