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

[obgod3]

well I turned it off going into the 4th quarter, I get up early for work and the night games suck for me, anyway my wife came up and said "you might want to watch this" so I turned ir back on just after Williams TD. They suprised me becasue I didnt think they had it in them. Happy they proved me wrong. However, our defense has to get healthy or we will be disapointed in the playoffs.

A lot of Tall WR's coming out we need one to be even better than Barefoot Mack Hollins no disrespect. I wish Barefoot was a little younger he's been awesome.

Do you realize only 2 rookie wr’s have more receiving yards than Hollins: they were both first round picks.

I don’t think there will be a rookie wr that can block NFL veterans the way Hollins does, be in the right place at the right time the way Hollins does, and set the team and set the culture they way he does.

So, I am all for drafting a big wr, but I don’t think you can expect a 21-23 to bring what he does.

Man, you're really dying on that hill, even after another 7 catches for 69 yards, 5 for first downs last night, huh?

Dying on that hill? I love the guy, and don't think the Pats best formula is him with twice as many targets as anybody else? If that's a hill, ok.

Look dude, if the Pats win the Super Bowl with Hollins getting 20 targets, nobody will be happier than me.

I have come around to @TommyD4207 thinking.. this defense is banged up.. we have no depth behind Landry and Chaisson so they have to play alot of snaps.. no Williams, no Spillane, Tonga and farmer went down.. Barmore is playing through something. We don't have the depth on defense but they gutted it out and FORCED TURNOVERS. By us winning and Denver losing puts us back in the 1 seed contention and that much needed bye. This teams resilient..no other team in the NFL can say they are undefeated on the road this season. So happy to be back in the playoffs.

100%... learning that "next man up" mentality. This is a high level of injury, but week 1's "JAG" = Week 17 ablative coating in the NFL. There's only so much talent in the league, and boy does it hurt to [edit... that should have ended with "...boy does it hurt to see Dugger and Judon news right now."]

I missed the fake punt. How bad was it?

All the guy does is produce when called on.

You were leading the 'Too much Mack Hollins' charge in the GDT last night.

He has a huge catch radius, good hands, and can get open. He's also 33 and slow. I think that's good enough to be a 3rd or 4th option on any team, and sometimes, it's more than that, depending on coverages. He ends up on safeties and linebackers quite a bit, it's the best matchup on the field when that happens (other than Diggs vs. Anyone).

Brutal. Wasn't quite Colts-level, but it was pretty disasterous, considering they were on their own 40 at the time.

That Young Tall Boundary WR would be for Drake Maye climb the ladder passes. Barefoot know how to haul em in: 2026 is Deep with Tall WR's. Barefoot is having the season of his life but will soon be 33. We already have small and average size WR's we need another Big One like Barefoot.

However, the number of different gifs used would only be reduced by four.

When I close my eyes, I can still see Mapu running with the ball in one hand flailing about. It was bad

it was clearly something they saw; the window to hit the pass was there, mapu just didn't pull the trigger

jules would have thrown it

Absolutely correct.. all teams need depth, Back ups.. beyond starting level players no team has tremendous depth.. I say this team is the most impressive 12 win team becuase they are doing it as a team by attrition, attitude, mentality and along with the elite QB play and coaching..

I had hopes for Marty.. I'd be surprised if we see much of him the rest of the way here...

The fact they did it with the useless Mapu had me doing that below.
