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

Oh, by the way, where are my "Too Much Mack Hollins in the offense" people at?

Come on, don't be shy. Career Season at age 33.

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.

He really turned a corner today in a big way. Hopefully he continues to see more snaps. Due to the Boutte concussion, it will likely be required either way. If Pop is also banged up in any serious capacity then perhaps Chism sees the field as well.

 

[Ring 6]

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.

He’s got 76, so that’s a lock. 869 yards, so 1000 is right there. Needs 2 more TDS

 

[Sect140]

So if the Pats give up a touchdown on the first drive next week will the GDT have a meltdown down like always even though it seems like every time we give up a TD on the first drive we win the game.

What will be the theme next week now that Drake has a come from behind in the 4th quarter win? That would be a great poll question LOL!

I confess I'm not Chaisson's biggest fan - I think he's too inconsistent as a pass rusher - BUT, that play today deserves so much credit. What hustle!

Would be the first WR with that statline here since Edelman.

That’s me. He’s done better than I expected but he still is invisible a lot.
Still say he is more of a 4 than a 2

You deserve to get grudgeposted, just like I grudgeposted @PatsFan2 for months with the Henderson sucks post.

Honestly, flipping out about Vrabel’s “negative energy” deserves ridiculeposting not really grudgeposting. Although the impassioned defense of the Vrabel negative energy claim might deserve the latter.

To be fair despite dumping on both Vrabel and Maye there were posts that losing wasn’t inevitable. It’s just too bad that optimism didn’t restrain the negativity about HC and QB when things weren’t going well.

First patriot receiver with 4 100 yard games since 2015

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I am truly stunned. I have been wrong so many times this year about this team!!
Its humbling.
That was a CLUTCH performance by Maye.
Hopefully the first of many.

Amazing that this team is 12-3 with the talent they have and the injuries.

And it's fine, feisty is a good poster - we all say stupid ****.

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

Look at the old farts getting all excited. So cute.

 

[n1997y]

Now we get healthy. Watch out NFL

Got a long way before getting healthy. The Jets and Phins games will be played by a bunch of injured players and scrubs.

Him and Mack Hollins, culture changers.

I didn't know what to expect from Hollins outside of special teams, but he's made a lot of key catches for us. He highpoints a lot of passes, not afraid to take the hit on a full extension. Him and Diggs have made a lot of key catches for us this season.

 

[Grogan14]

Not sure about Campbell, but Williams is eligible to return.

I think Campbell can return for the first or second playoff game

 

[Ring 6]

We also overcame an ill advised fake punt

 

[Lagaffe_07]

I guess Drake Maye reads this forum.

That was an MVP level 4th quarter by Drake Maye.

I tip my hat! Well done

 

[TommyD4207]

He's eligible to return for Miami, and I think they'll need a Statie detail to keep him off the field.

 

[DaBruinz]

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..

The left side collapsed too quickly.. If Mapu had even 1 second, the pass was there. He didn't, so he started running the other way..

I was pumping Hollins all Spring.

@PatsFan2 and @Ring 6 were completely wrong on Hollins, but we love them even though they keep getting everything wrong.
