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

[Ring 6]

No one's talking about "tight" games. The fact is Drake Maye has never led his team back from a 4th quarter deficit in his NFL career....something most of his contemporaries have done by this time in their careers. Does it mean he sucks? No. Does it mean he's a front runner? Perhaps. Until Drake Maye leads his team on a 4th quarter game winning drive, he shows no clutch gene

So you prefer your quarterback to let his team get behind a lot and pull out some of them rather than play 60 minutes and not need to comeback

Oh damn it, he lacks the clutch gene? I wasn’t aware of that. Can they do genetic testing for that? We should’ve known that before we drafted him.

It is a flag tho.
He can calm the storm come playoff time but the clutch factor is very important

If the Patriots lose to

It's not that he lacks it, we just don't know right now if he indeed has it. He hasn't show that he does outside of the Buffalo game but a one off doesn't tell you anything. Maybe weather was a factor, but it wasn't for Allen. To be fair Maye is leaving that door open whether we like it or not.

I prefer my quarterback not to **** himself when his team is down in gotta have it possessions when behind

From the Patriots Postgame show they played man at their biggest rate today

I have a high dought the way I saw those palys happen

A lot of zone with man sprinkled in

 

[Grogan14]

You know who has been clutch- Nix
not comparing but just saying

 

[aluminum seats]

So is Drake Maye clutch? What in his career shows he's clutch?

Of course he’s not clutch, he’s genetically incapable of being clutch, he doesn’t have the clutch gene.

If he made plays regularly he wouldn’t be down 9.
Points you score to play from ahead do not have less value than points you score after you’ve dug yourself a hole

 

[bormio]

Hell, you are only really clutch if you do it in the ultimate game. So that leaves out Allen, Burrow, Herbert et al

 

[Froob]

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.

I get not wanting to blame the refs, but how are the marcus jones PI and Carlton Davis holding flags but not the Tre White pick?

 

[EddardSnow67]

The loss isn't bad because the Patriots were up and then the Bills came back, it's bad because it was a loss to our best competition in the AFC and now the Patriots don't have as much breathing room.

I don't agree with much of what you post, but with the time left and 2 timeouts...to go 4 and out, was embarrassing. Couldn't even muster a first down on a gotta have it drive. As I said before, that dog isn't going to hunt.

Well at least he can calm the storm. Is that genetic too? Or is that just meteorological?

I think the Pats feel a little like the Broncos of last year. watching the broncos game right now and they are a better team than last year. They may still lose. Maye missed a few open receivers today a couple times maye chose the run to the sideline. he does need to learn to take some of the short passes or cant all be 40+ yards.

Are you telling me that you think Drake Maye has **** himself this year?

 

[aluminum seats]

It's not that he lacks it, we just don't know right now if he indeed has it. He hasn't show that he does outside of the Buffalo game but a one off doesn't tell you anything. Maybe weather was a factor, but it wasn't for Allen. To be fair Maye is leaving that door open whether we like it or not.

So maybe it’s not too late to do the testing to see if he has it. There’s still hope.

His most egregious non throw today was when he pumped, then got sacked. On the replay you see Williams sitting down in the zone wide open. Thats who he pumped to...and then took the sack. Inexcusable.

The play Maye ran out of bounds he could've picked up 3, perhaps a first down if he ran upfield and not to the sideline. That's was a big bad play from him

Please tell me you think Bo Nix is better than Drake Maye.
