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

[palialka]

I'm not sggesting that Chism should be in on every down and that the offense should be run through him for goodness sake. I'm saying maybe give him a chance. I don't know how many times I have to repeat that before it starts to sink in.

Chism has chances to earn PT in each and every practice. The coaching staff isn’t just going to “give him a chance”; he has to earn it like everyone else. If he was good enough, he’d see game day snaps. He’s our WR6.

And now it looks like he’s lost his KR job to Williams.

Yeah I look around the AFC and keep asking myself who will beat them.

People discounting KC are just showing they know nothing about ****ing football

Says the person that in every GDT five minutes into the game is predicting the Pats are going to lose and the season is over.

Williams was one dude away from busting one. Chism is incapable of busting one…just too slow.

No, my friend. Opening game of the 2008 season was the highest possible price to pay for a win.

And that turned into an 11-win season, so there's hope.

 

[raduray]

Impossible. He’s already dead because Lowe was his LT last year

Hopefully, Josh will be able to scheme for that.

All that is true in a world where Will Campbell is our LT and Vederian Lowe isn't. Now Lowe might be better now and this isn't a concern but in a world where 2024 Lowe is our LT for the rest of 2025, one possible solution for giving Maye a quick out is to give Chism an opportunity to offer something different. Yes that means a decision needs to be made about game day activations and yes, Chism is, all things being equal, at the bottom of the WR depth chart but none of that is written in stone and has to be obeyed.

I'm not talking about treating Chism as a charity case, i'm merely offering a tactical switch option to help this team if Will Campbell is out for the year.

Which means Chiefs win it by default, unfortunately.

Just hasn’t been a team to challenge them in the playoffs. Hope we’ll be in position to be that team next year. Just think this team is still a few pieces away from that.

This is going to sound pessimistic but I could definitely picture KC knocking off a couple teams come playoffs

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

It was a mistake as the first few words of that sentence show. I meant the Chiefs.

Allright
But don’t let it happen again

 

[manxman2601]

Allright
But don’t let it happen again

I'll try I promise.

 

[Sect140]

I just find it so funny that for how accurate he is, he just has moments where he’s so far off. Wish I understood it. Those two series he just looked bad, then he turned into Brady accuracy again. Hope he can figure out the issue.

Then he ran for a first down and that seemed to have settled him down.

This is going to sound optimistic but I could definitely picture us knocking off a couple teams in the playoffs

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

I'm ready for the Veridian Lowe redemption story...

Bring on the GMen.

LFG PATS.

 

[mayoclinic]

Please don't. I've been traumatized by short arm discussions. I only want us to draft linemen wth 34" arms minimum so we don't ever have to go through it again.

I only want us to draft stud linemen, which we did.

I still think they will win the division

The schedule is not tough

I think the bigger question is how did that fall through the cracks? Oh wait.... it didn't
Okay new question, why does @n1997y have me blocked? WTH did I do this time?

As someone who doesn't block people out of principle, I can't help you there.

That sequence after that play was the best he played all year.
