PostGame Thread OFFICIAL 2025 Week 16 Postgame Thread: Patriots Clinch Playoff Berth with 28-24 win over Ravens

[Ross12]

That 1 seed is very much in play now. Just beat the Jete and the Ewers-led Dolphins. I am guessing the Chargers and Broncos both win next week, which will set up a Week 18 Chargers/Broncos game where the winner takes the division. If the Chargers win that one, the Pats get the 1 seed.

my wife hears my screaming cheers and moans penetrate the walls she knows how the game is going.

My neighbors hear my wife's screaming cheers and moans penetrate their walls and know how the game is going

The Chargers could beat them - they are playing better

Agree

Four 100 yard games by Diggs best since 2015. Wow.

 

[Lavictoire]

I still do not understand what Vrabel was thinking on the fake punt . This is why I have thought over the season that he is overly aggressive when it isnt needed.

Harbaugh loses it when he is taken in by Bellichikian trick plays like getting the ball to an eligible offensive lineman.

Still an outside chance for my absolute highest expectations of his stats this year: 80 1000 5

He's already beaten what I expected, 60 800.

(Edit I was quoting something about the fake punt) I love Vrabes but that was an awful call that could have cost the game

Great block by Kyle W on that TD run by Rham.

At some point, Drake and Kyle will have better chemistry and that's when we'll have a legit gamebreaker at receiver. He's got the speed and ability to make great plays.

 

[Ring 6]

He did, he had to, Durden went down at one point, and Tonga was already out.

We were missing at least 3 of our top 4 DTs, 4 of 5 if durden was out.
Almost needed to move Onwenu to RT.

Missing best DL plus all those backups
Best lb
LT
Best Rb

and we just ****ing won

ill admit a pats comeback win can be comparable to ……

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

14-3 is a possibility. Unreal season

It’s probably a matter of mastering more routes. He is a late progression on a lot of plays and runs a lot of low percentage routes.

I didnt know what to expect, but he has produced. His skillset as a cheer leader and culture builder is top shelf.

 

[DaBruinz]

sounds like Romo earlier in the Detroit/Pitt game where the Lions were trying to come back down 5 with about a minute left and Romo just randomly says “Well, I don’t think we’re going to be seeing a tie today, Jim! For the first time, ever!”

No **** Romo, the Lions don’t have a 5 point play. And what exactly makes that “the first time ever? The first time an NFLgame hasn’t ended in a tie? Ever?

Romo is good about 70% of the time. The other 30% he wiffs because he's trying to be witty.

Collinsworth is just a corrupt POS and Mike Torico is worthless. I actually got so tired of them I muted the broadcast because their anti-Pats rhetoric was so blatant.

Him and Mack Hollins, culture changers.

More than possible, very likely.

We will be facing Cook and Ewers, and 2 teams that have given up

Disappointing that Marcus Bryant was inactive.

I thought he looked good in TC.

Just a RT so not a swing tackle?

Munford by passed him

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

This was weird. Was he injured?

To be honest its not THAT obvious. 22 has trouble with ball security. Would consider it as well...

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

It was obviously in the gameplan this week, they must have thought the Ravens were susceptible to it.

The delay of game on the first punt attempt - Collinsworth sniffed it out, they had a fake on, and didn't like the read so they took the delay.

I don't particularly like it either.

Mapu throwing the ball across the field from the right to the left? What are they thinking? Not only was it not the game to try it after Lamar went out, but the play itself looked lousy too..
