Patriots Finished Second in the NFL in Scoring for 2025

[PatsFan2]

How ironic we're behind you know... League needs any excuse to give Matthew PadFord the MVP.

 

[ZoisKing]

Was pretty impressed with our point differential too.

170 point difference.

Scrolled down over the past several seasons and it holds it own.

Then you get to the 2007 Pats.

315 points more than their opponents. Largest disparity ever.

Unbelievable.

I'm lost. Is there a reason some people seem to be against having a number 1 receiver? Almost as if it's a bad thing or something? Or is it just mocking people that act like we absolutely need one... Or are you actually against getting one.... Because the latter is just stupid.

I’m lost. What is the improvement a so-called #1 WR will bring to this receiving corps?

What are the characteristics of your “number 1 receiver” that set them apart from other receivers?

What is the existing level of play for our present WRs on those metrics?

How does a purported “number 1 receiver” compare?

How will they make us better? And moreso than the same investment made at other positions, such as OL, LB, Edge?

It could be that pursuit of a supposed number 1 receiver would be a bad thing, if it meant spending a lot trying to fix something that ain’t broke.

 

[n1997y]

No one is against a top 10 WR catching balls from The Drake.

Why does it have to be a WR? If they find Gronk 2.0 then sign me up.

The question is...in pursuit of a Super Bowl title, where is it on the list of priorities? For me, it's not in the top 4.

I’d be okay if it were to be our RBs, Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

At the end of the day a QB needs to be really good and the offense diversified. RBa running and catching. WRs and TEs making big plays, etc.

Pats are getting big plays at the WR position but in the aggregate. Nothing wrong with that.

Pretty incredible.

It's even more incredible when you consider our 4th quarter scoring went down.

This is because we were kneeling a lot to end games in 2025.

Meanwhile we were racking up garbage time 4th quarter points long after the game was out of reach in 2024 and likely playing against teams backup players by then so that 201 point overall improvement becomes even more impressive.

That also shows you how deficient we were both in terms of coaching and offensive talent in 2024.

It's a remarkable turnaround by Vrabel who took over a clown show from Mayo. 4-13 to 14-3 and the #2 overall offense in the NFL is simply amazing.

Of course Maye's emergence and MVP quality season are a big part of it but nobody could have seen this coming before the season started.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Good thing we traded the bank for AJ Brown and got a real X. This offense would be nothing without a true #1.

You act as if Stefon Diggs doesn't exist and didn't help turn around the entire WR room. Adding a WR1 is exactly what this offense needed and got to rejuvenate it. Even though he's no longer a top 5 WR, Diggs still allowed everyone else to slot in behind him and become better.

So were the people who wanted a WR1 all along right? Yes, it appears so unless you claim having the #2 offense in the NFL did not help us win more games. You could take that position, but it would just look silly after we've seen the results.

That will happen this offseason

 

[Huckleberry1]

Other than when they had Moss the clamor for a "WR 1" has been going on this entire century, and it got really old years ago.

This one is direct reflection of the terrible QBs we have faced. For this stat, strength of schedule is a factor. For scoring, not as much since we faced some top 10 defenses.

 

[Steve102]

If they had a JJ kind of guy, damn right. Never *****es about anything. Other than that, beef up the 0-line and get some LBers. Tea is pretty complete at that point imo.

??

 

[Rob0729]

It is kinda amazing since the Pats had a crap running game for most of the season and Maye only had one 300 yard passing game.

 

[imahobgoblin]

We had better not break the bank for Brown. We have other spots we need filled. If the compensation is reasonable, go for it.

We have a top Offense. We NEED nothing to be a top 5 Offense next year other than health. Obviously, we will re-sign Hooper or an equivalent TE.
=======================
THAT BEING SAID,
we can indeed improve our Offense by our next year of improvement in the OL.

What we have signed at OL is good enough to be a top 5 Offense
Campbell, Brown, Wilson, Onwenu, Moses
Bradbury, Bryant, Wallace

Let's get better!

 

[A.C Vegas]

We need a numbah 1 receivah.

Why do so many people think this matters. This year proved it is better to have options than one person a team can shut down. Would it be better yes but is it a need no

It never fails to amaze me how few people can detect sarcasm through a text-based medium.
