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

I could feel it

HT was an underated rusher in his early days. I would've liked for him to have rushed the passer more. Those days ended when Mayo left moving him more to MLB and especially when Collins left. They needed someone in coverage.

Landy and Chaisson were nice pick ups, but they are very similar to Tully Banta-Cain. Pats needs some true edge setters than can use power to get up field rather than only relying on running around T's. We saw how large of gaps in the middle of the field it left for Allen to run though.

Hightower could have been an all pro edge rusher. He could have been an all pro ILB. But his value was that he could do anything you ask a LB to do so he did a lot of the dirty work that wins games and doesn’t get hoopla

That Maye hasn't had a two minute come from behind win.

He is 23 and has played less than 2 full seasons. The reason we are 11 win team is because of him
Ideally teams with young Qbs have a terrific defense to help . Look at denver - Bo nix isnt better than maye but that D is outstanding. Thats why i think they are a better team.
Our D isnt helping maye when the chips are down. And here they were up 21 pts. They havent gotten a RZ stop all season. If this was josh allen people would say he is carrying the team with a avg roster.

Looked like we had issues stopped by the run. They put themselves in to alot if short yardage and when they were long they got calls. Our play calling was weird

That's a pretty weak rationalization, winning a division in the NFL certainly IS "primetime" however you spin it.

7-9 teams have won divisions before. It’s not primetime.

Even going back to the first game, the Bills had more yards, more first downs, better 3rd down %, etc. They were the better team then, too. But they lost the game because they were being sloppy with holding onto the ball.

This team has surpassed my expectations, so everything that happens from now is great. This team does not and has not been a good roster top to bottom. They made some excellent additions but this team is still lacking and a good QB and good coaching cannot always overcome that issue especially when you add in key injuries.

This season has shown leadership what the team can do and now it is their job to improve the roster. I had a feeling that they would lose this game and would not be super surprised to see them lose 1-2 more games. I get all the *****ing that folks are doing, but we split with the best team in the division and are still leading the division.

This has been a great season, I just wanted to get this off my chest because I feel like some of you have an unrealistic perspective.

Watching Denver, Houston lately, Buffalo today...I hope the Pats can just win a playoff game. If they go in and get blasted the first playoff game it may do harm than good long term.

You would be ecstatic if that happened.

7-9 teams win divisions when all the teams in their division suck. Is that us?

 

[slash83]

This one is still stinging, we had em.

 

[PatsFan2]

gotta be kidding me. this wasn’t a penalty but the one on marcus jones and carlton davis were???

Barefoot Mack Hollins was being held on the outsides too.

 

[gtfanboy]

Allen is the best QB in football, he showed it again today. He’s been great running and passing the ball. They have a massive, tough OLine. When he’s on, no lead is safe and he’s unstoppable.

Except when she ****s again Mahomes and Chiefs...lets be real

We need to stop with the premature crowning of Allen as "the best"

You can't be the best QB in football without a single Super Bowl appearance, i don't care how many regular season games he wins, when he cashes all this into a championship then we can talk about him being the best.

People are doing the exact same thing that used to drive them crazy with the media fawning of Manning when Brady had 3 championships and he had none.

Look at the bright side we're still undefeated on the road.

Barefoot Mack Hollins was being held on the outsides too.

Hollins is held for 5 seconds. And it’s the initial direction Maye is looking in and appeared to throw of Henry’s route too. That flag needs to be thrown 100 times out of 100

More pointless rationalizing. But your painfully clenched sphincter is understandable: out of nowhere, the Patriots have won 11 games while on the verge of ending your Prairie Cows' five-year run atop the AFCE. Five short years following two decades of dominance by those same Patriots. This must feel to you like a waking nightmare. Condolences.

This post is straight out of 2021 and Mac Jones.

I'm walking away from this maybe how the Giants felt in 07 against the Patriots late season: we smell blood in the water. I pray we meet again.

If there is health, if the Pats DON'T ****ING PUNCH ANOTHER PLAYER IN THE FACE, and make a bunch of stupid mistakes, commit stupid penalties, we wipe the floor with that loser ass team. The only frauds today are the Bills, through and through. Period.

I dunno. This loss is as annoying as the Steelers one to me. We had the keys the whole time. We lost it.

 

[Uptown]

It’s just wild how we had 246 rushing yards & lost. We’re gonna smoke Baltimore.

Never forget that the NFL called this **** a catch for Buffalo lmao.
