PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Fall 35-31 to the Bills

[Triumph]

Who fkn cares about that ***got?

Looks serious.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Meh, good experience for the team. Need some players back, Milton Williams sorely missed and so is Campbell. Was disappointed on ST coverage, that needs to improve.

We will be better for it and ready for playoffs.

Sometimes it's "blessing in disguise".

Every team blows leads. How will they respond? Baltimore is beatable. But it won't be easy.

 

[TommyD4207]

Plenty of blame to go around but maye choked with the game on the line.

Can't disagree on 3rd and 4th down. If you're the MVP THIS YEAR in that spot, you have to play like it, and he didn't.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Don't want to be that guy, but this is on the officials. Plain and simple. Hard to get stops on defense when all of your stops get deleted. Gross stuff.

Absolutely 100%. I rarely blame the refs. This was all NY. I don't care who disagrees

 

[Triumph]

Chiefs lose.

They're out

 

[stelfans]

Frustrating loss. Injuries are getting to them.
They aren’t there yet, understandably so.
Need to be better on all phases, period.

Maye is FAR from an MVP. This was an absolutely horrific passing performance in the biggest game of his career. Only 18 plays on offense in the second half. This is a McDaniels and Maye implosion

 

[condon84]

Maye had time to throw on a lot of dropbacks but couldn't decipher the Bills zone.

Meanwhile Allen finds wide open guys down the middle against our zone.

 

[Gumby]

I remember games that felt SOMEWHAT like this, where TB & Co just said… Ok, you wanna play 11 on 14; bring it on.

This team isn’t talented enough to do that or these calls were just more outrageous, not sure which.
then they let it get to them & they stopped executing. Not sure if refs wouldn’t have been even handed once they got to that last minute, kept the viewers in seats til last minute point. But that last series just wasn’t giving their all.

Diggs was a no show too

 

[PatsFan2]

Disappointed in Diggs and Henry Today.

 

[sambam94]

Maye has a long, long ways to go. Zero passing TDs in 2 games against Buffalo. The offense goes in the toilet in the second half of game. Makes you wonder what lack of adjustments are there. Hendersons runs are all on him making guys miss. That has nothing to do with McD or Maye really. So I put ALL of this on Maye. He wasn't good in this game, far from it and needed to be to overcome the officiating. He needed to be the MVP.

I guess we see if he isn't at an MVP level, they have zero chance to win against a top level team. They literally broke a good record from the Pats with their putrid display today.

disagree, no one was open all game. Maye ran for 2 scores. Henry dropped a key 3rd down pass. This is all on th defense.

 

[Foxypats]

So disappointing and very frustrating! After the first half, I felt so good and then everything unraveled in the second half.
First test to see if Maye could engineer a GW drive and he failed. The biggest let down was the D and special teams. And don’t get me started on the refs, I am so angry right now at how they called the game.
Oh well, we need to beat the Ravens and win the division.
We are going to hear about our soft schedule’ all week. FML !!

Absolutely 100%. I rarely blame the refs. This was all NY. I don't care who disagrees

I disagree, comes with the territory playing that team.

 

[Kdo5]

Underrated but important point.

Momentum killers. Schooler’s face mask penalty on the big return is where it all started to turn.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

I hope Vrabes brings hellfire upon the team this week

I don't think he needs to rain hellfire so much as light a fire under them. They know they didn't play well.

 

[turkeyneck]

Yeah he should have ran more today.

So McD-ish. Runs not working?...run more. Run is working?...pass instead.

 

[TommyD4207]

Diggs was a no show too

Diggs showed when he was targeted, no complaints from me about him.

 

[Real fan 02]

Frustrating loss in a game that obviously should have had a different outcome. Outscored 28-7 in the second half...just brutal.

We're on to Baltimore next Sunday night on SNF. Discuss.

Yeah.. it's frustrating.. but nothing about this team being a contender changes to me from this loss.. the Patriots didn't give away the game JOSH ALLEN took it!

Maybe some adversity after a 10 game winning streak is needed. They still are in position to make a post season berth.

 

[FCB02062]

Postgame going blueprint talk. Saying cover 1 is key to beating Pats
