PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POST GAME THREAD: Patriots beat Bengals 26-20

Am I the only one who didn't get injured today?

Drake Maye managed not to get a concussion.

This is almost the textbook definition of a Pyrrhic victory.

In any case, though, the magic number is down to 4 NE wins and/or BUF losses to guarantee the division without tiebreakers.

Big boy win. The kind of wins championship contenders have.

 

[sambam94]

crap game against a bad team with costly injuries. Not good

 

[sb1]

Pats look rough in goal line. Need to upgrade this offseason

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Still don't know how the Pats didn't drop a 40 burger on that craptastic team.

Because the O is overrated and still lacks real playmakers and decent OL.

going into the giants game we're gonna be 75% of the team we were going into the jets game a few weeks ago...let's see how we handle all these injuries

weirdest thing about the injuries: it felt like all ours were on the lines, and all of the bengals were skill positions

I’ll gladly take the win. The loss of Campbell is bad but still we are 10-2. And we have Drake Maye.

Lowe looked alright when he was out there so hopefully he has become a better player. Let’s hope.

Kudos to the secondary on that final drive. People will say there was interference but I think there was some great deflections from Davis. Marcus Jones looked great, that one pass they got him on it should’ve been a pick.

Don’t take 10-2 for granted. You don’t know the next time we’ll be 10-2 so definitely enjoy it

10th win of the season, but obviously, with both Campbell and Wilson getting hurt (and possibly Schooler), it came at a cost.

And Tonga

 

[reflexblue]

Just an ugly depressing game. Its great to be 10-2 but losing all those players takes the luster off it.

Only if we don't win the war. That has still to play out.

 

[Vindicate]

That was a Broootal victory. Only type of win you feel good about if its the postseason lol

Nah. I still feel good about it, personally. This team overcame being on the road, losing their starting LT and others, playing against a team playing for their season, and they still won. We saw Davis earn his entire contract in three plays. The injuries suck but this team has more will than any team in the league. And McDaniels and Marrone will do well in adjusting for the losses on the OL, I think.

Bring it on.

Good to get the win. I'm just sad to have been informed that despite that, the season is actually over as of today. Thank you all for your time, I will see you guys in March for free agency.

To be fair, losing Campbell is HUGE. Maye might be able to overcome that but it sure isn't going to help. Wonder what is actually wrong with him. I know Mankins played with a torn acl for a whole season. I dunno.

Feels like the Pats survived The 2nd Battle Of The Somme

 

[stcjones]

Very ugly game ….prayers for Will Campbell and others that got injured but if Campbell is lost …huge impact. Running game need to improve (even before Campbell was hurt) and hopefully coaching learns from the multitude of brain farts today…..got through it…on to next week

 

[turkeyneck]

I cant believe with Boutte, Diggs, Henry, Hooper, Pop, Rham and maybe Chiz we can't come up with a spread em out goalline passing game .

 

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

How many games have the Patriots won so far?

 

[ALP]

Also, the coaching stuff needs to get their heads out of their asses b/c wtf was that showing
