PostGame Thread 2025 OFFICIAL Patriots Wild Card PostGame Thread: Patriots win 16-3

[upstater1]

So, to repeat, how does the NFL overturn the refs spotting the ball on the field when the refs got the spot right?

That was weird.

That was absurd.

That was frickin' fishy.

If we beat the Steelers, will the Rooney’s finally fire Tomlin?

PLEASE give us Tomlin and Fraudgers next week.

More importantly, Gonzo PLEASE be ok.

Blood brothers…

That team wouldn't have had any fun against Denver.

We would destroy Denver but they won’t survive the Bills.

Sleep is for losers tonight. Herbert is tough as nails. Hope Gonzo is okay to lockdown Metcalf next week (willing us to play ****sbugh)

Their football games all year start at 10 am and 1 pm.
Starting at noon is normal. Starting at 330 is late.

College football games start at noon EST all the time, that’s never an issue for me.

Exactly how do you “know for sure” what everyone on the west coast wants?

I’m saying a 12:00 start fits what happens all year long for them. You are saying you can read their minds and they would prefer something different then they had all year long.
Weird.

I’m saying what they would PREFER, you’re arguing what happens. That’s not the same thing. Just because games get scheduled earlier during the year isn’t proof that that’s what fans would prefer. The fact that most games skew towards being scheduled later than earlier shows that’s the preference of the region.

God dont give that Mahomes glazer publicity herd

Not me. Their ZONE is bad. I love when they play man with 2 high safeties. It's the strength of the CBs..

I meant imagine being the Chargers, I'd imagine they anticipated a lot more zone coverage. IIRC, the Pats played nearly 70% of snaps in zone this year.

nah, but there is a counter on the bottom of the forum page... top 5 posters for the day... stuck on 193 last i checked

I’m not seeing it, but that may be because I’m on my iPad and the displays are often laid out differently. I’ll have to look next time I’m on a real computer.

FOUND IT!

I need Maye to watch some TB12 tape and not because of the throws or highlights but the times he threw the ball away or took a sack to live another day. He cant keep playing hero ball

This is dumb. On one of the fumbles he was throwing it away and it slipped out of his hand, and on the other he took the sack but it was knocked out.

Maye has made plays by escaping the rush all year. If you are saying he should learn to not avoid the rush you are saying we shouldn’t have this big plays he created and we would have been about 7-10

You are like the guy who had a car accident once in 20 years and decides driving was a terrible idea.

Patriots defense:

- 3 points allowed (short field)
- 6 sacks
- 30 pressures
- 3.5 yards per play
- 1/10 3rd down
- Multiple stops on 4th down

Williams is worth every penny. And he knows what winning a championship is all about

I wasn't sure Williams was going to be worth the money. Glad he has proven to be such. I understand Vrabel and Kuhr rotating the DTs, but they need to get Williams/Barmore on the field more often. Particularly 3rd down passing situations.

 

[ZoisKing]

Was fantastic behind a shoddy line tonight. So lucky.

 

[n1997y]

Does @Ian have a special counter / tracker for that?
Who knew…..where do I check me for that? (My goal is like 10, LOL)

I was looking in @Ian’s stats for it, but I guess posters don’t get the same degree of analytics the NFL players get.

If you go the the screen that lists the forums, it's all the way down at the bottom in the middle.

I remember last week when the Chargers players were talking about how they were looking forward to playing Denver again in the playoffs next week… after they beat the Patriots or whatever.

Maybe it wasn’t a great idea to look 2 weeks ahead.

Thanks! (And glad you were ok). I had assumed they would have ruled that out on the sidelines, but I don’t know all the steps and am not a doctor, so this is good to learn.

Thanks. Appreciate it. I'm glad I was OK as well. Ended up leaving that league because I got run 4 times in 10 games and not a single call against anyone who ran me. I wouldn't have minded, but I was in my crease each time and the last one the guy slashed my thumb so bad that it opened it up through the padding of my blocker.

I think the NFL changed the rules that if the Overhead Doctor calls it down, the player has to go to the locker-room to be evaluated by the Independent Neurologist. Personally, it's BS since it takes the player out for an extended period while they go back inside to get tested.
