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

[Hammer of Thor]

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

Campbell will be eligible to return for the Dolphins game, we’ll just need to see if he’s ready.

Need to get him the mouthguard that Light helped develop with that Dentist.

They all should be using those

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 don't hate the play design, honestly.

What I do think, is the only other option being Mapu trying to run for it is kind of bad. Need to be able to pitch that to Baringer who's trailing the play, so he can get a punt off.

 

[Milloymam]

We’re going to the playoffs ! That’s what matters! Yay

You're wrong. (no surprise there). Campbell is eligible to return after 4 games. He went on IR on 11/26. Four games is Giants, Bills, Ravens, Jets. That means Miami. And yes. I corrected myself earlier as I got my weeks mixed up with Williams, who can return this week.

Please indulge my binky boosting. I know Craig Woodson has more to do in coverage but, he is tackling like a 5 year vet. I always keep an eye out for him and he was making a number of open field tackles out there.

 

[DaBruinz]

They all should be using those

Agreed. But many players don't like to change. They've had a particular brand of mouthguard for years and years.

 

[Schmo]

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

I remember sex! Let him tell us more!

 

[Lavictoire]

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 as

The announcers are the epitome of changing narratives and plaudits as the game changes.

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.

ive been calling for chism. it will inject a new dimension in the offense. keep the chains moving.

 

[PatsFan2]

We also overcame an ill advised fake punt

Hated that whole sequence.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Ravens came so close to season over and a bonus lawsuit, that guy almost got firework to the face.

 

[manxman2601]

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.

And blocks. Which I think is just as important to Vrabel and McDaniel as his receptions.

 

[DaBruinz]

Disappointing that Marcus Bryant was inactive.

I thought he looked good in TC.

Just a RT so not a swing tackle?

Bryant is a swing tackle.
They are going with Munford because of his experience level and the fact he's played in Jumbo packages before (Vrabel's explanation, not mine).

Can NE win the east with just a win next weekend regardless of Buffalo?

 

[Grogan14]

Kudos to all the believers on this board for your faith in the team and the coach and Drake Maye.
You all deserve sincere congratulations.
I admit that I have had serious doubts, but there is something special about Maye and this team.

I am getting out of the prediction game, not good at it.

Please indulge my binky boosting. I know Craig Woodson has more to do in coverage but, he is tackling like a 5 year vet. I always keep an eye out for him and he was making a number of open field tackles out there.

The draft class in general has been terrific. Campbell, Henderson, Wilson, Woodson and now Williams starting to come up huge. Farmers contributed decently, and the kicker and long snapper are doing well. Can’t ask for much more than that.

 

[Ring 6]

This SNF post game show is horrible

Please indulge my binky boosting. I know Craig Woodson has more to do in coverage but, he is tackling like a 5 year vet. I always keep an eye out for him and he was making a number of open field tackles out there.

He also baited the Baltimore false start in the 4th quarter.

 

[DaBruinz]

I think he'll be ready. He was walking around on the sidelines in a sweats. Wouldn't think he'd be allowed there if he wasn't ready.

 

[festy1986]

Can NE win the east with just a win next weekend regardless of Buffalo?

No. I've been told that NE has to win both games to win the division unless Bills lose.

So If the Bills lose and we win that's it. But we can't lose any more games if the Bills win out.
