PostGame Thread 2025 OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots 28, Texans 16

[Ring 6]

The part I disagree with is that we bacame dink and dunk when we have been dink and dunk at times. Its a regular part of the offense, sorry I did not make it clear.

The difference is that yes short passes are part of the offense, but they aren’t THE offense, and for much of the game that’s what it was.

Throwing some short passes doesn’t make you sink and dunk, having your offense revolve around short passes is.

I gues the best way I can describe it is typically we are looking to push the ball downfield often on 1st and 2nd down and yesterday our plan abandoned that goal and the priority was short positive plays to avoid 3rd and long which played into their hands because we weren’t very successful and ended up in 3rd and longs.

And this team was 1-2.... so 15-1 since then and while the loss cost them home field advantage, it may have been awake up call to play all 60 minutes even if you're up 21-0.

Hey NEMMY, weather played a factor. The ball is harder to grip, and the oline was not playing as well. That increases pressure when playing an elite pass rush and the top D. If a ball is harder, wet, and has ice/snow on it, it takes a lot less of a chop to knock it free. A numb hand in sleet, snow, and cold also has less grip. Any fool can figure that out. Well, not any...

It wasn’t his grip, it was his arm getting hit while ****ed to throw. That causes a fumble in any weather
But you know that you are just incapable of admitting you are wrong, which is surprising since you are wrong so often.

Like I said. Any fool can figure out out that weather did play a role. Well, not any...
And you are incapable of accepting everyone thinks you are a clown. It just is what it is.

I am personally having an excellent binky season.

Just keep digging the hole. You know you are wrong so you throw insults. It’s childish and transparent.

 

[Uptown]

Stroud over obliged..

NEMmy, no one cares. You just don't get it. Your posts just stink. There is no hole other than in your strange, empty head. I wonder if you have a serious health condition. I would guess Alzheimer's or dementia? Both would explain yours posts and mindless rants that just never stop. You are only a legend in your own mind. Thats it. No one else cares about your personal mission to win the internet.

I would be in agreement with you if there were not plays with people running routes 15+ yards downfield. Implying that we tried to change to a dink and dunk would mean there are not deeper routes available and there were.

Maye is making choices out there, so your statement about them letting Maye be Maye is saying that he did not have those routes available earlier.

Again, when you can’t make an intelligent argument throw out insults. It’s all you have, it’s all you do.


If you don’t care, it’s amazing that you act so obsessed with me. You are a liar.

Maye is executing the play call.
Every pass play includes deeper routes.
Some plays are read deep to short and some are read short to deep.
Dink and dink is short to deep. Of course those plays include intermediate and deep routes because they draw coverage.

This season we ran more deep to short read plays than almost every team.
Last night we ran a lot of short to deep.
That’s the difference I am referring to.

This particular fumble (maybe 2.5 seconds from snap) is not on Drake:



Anderson just too quick here - nothing to do with Campbell's arm length.

I'm the atheist defending the right for the players to voluntarily assemble, regardless of team, in prayer.

My only problem is whether it is also regardless of denomination?

Something I saw in a discussion a couple of weeks ago attributed those gatherings to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Are they nondenominational? Would Jews or Muslims be welcome to join and if they did would the worship be inclusive or would they have to endure exaltations of ************?

I’m concerned because I see religious fervor as being divisive as much or more than it’s uniting. too often it turns into “our god is better than your god” conflicts. And on an individual level there’s no need for this kind of person attack against a fellow Pats fan for example:

Clearly, these concepts are beyond Ahmed's ability to comprehend.

 

[fourhour]

Currently watching a replay of the game on NFL. Where was Chism last night?

 

[n1997y]

Very well said.

That is the essence of playoff football. It’s why many playoff games are ugly defensive struggles. And especially bad weather playoff games, because bad weather just increases the likelihood of costly mistakes.

All those whining about Josh play calling make me laugh

He's been here before....he and BB knew in games like this you minimize mistakes and opportunities for the defense....2nd and long in your own end, sometimes it is best to go conservative, punt, live to fight another day....this wasn't a game that was going to be about who had the ball last, it wasn’t a track meet....it was a slugfest

Eat some punches, get knocked down, make sure to land your shots when they are there to be taken, and let your D do their job

I wish they had scored off their turnovers, but this was a legit top-flight defense....you would love to score every series, you always want the kill shot.....in this game the kill shot was a drive that started at your own 2, ate up 6 minutes, and ended in a punt

In this game, in this weather, with this offensive personnel, they really did limit their mistakes (even though they were forced into several), they landed their shots when they could, and in the 2nd half both Maye and the run game really chewed up that vaunted defense

Sometimes an excellent offensive gameplan doesn't look like the 2002 Rams

 

[manxman2601]

Moses is one of the Fab Four of influential FA signings along with Diggs, Williams and Spillane. And that isn't meant as a slight of Carlton Davies, Bradbury or Mack Hollins who have also been important.

So, Let me get this straight. YOU have a problem with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes getting together after a game to say a prayer if it doesn't meet your arbitrary guidelines about inclusivity .. SMH.. That's a really dump take. It's not as bad as Ahmed's pathetic claims, but it's dumb.

Congrats on attempting to defend the indefensible by showing your own bias. Newsflash for you, just because you're a Pats fan doesn't preclude you from being called out for saying stupid garbage. You should probably grow thicker skin and learn what an actual "personal attack" looks like. It's laughable that you snipped my post and took it out of context. Meanwhile, in your finite wisdom, you completely ignored the guy who commented about Ahmed name, you completely ignored the guy who called Ahmed an ******* and the guy who said that calling Ahmed an ******* was correct.


BTW, next time you comment, you should make sure you've got a good grasp of the situation.

This was about Ahmed calling Stroud pathetic for partaking in a post-game prayer with members of the Patriots. This was not about a person's religious preferences or whether the Fellowship of Christian Athletes meets your inclusivity requirements. Context matters.

For some reason I thought Campbell played a bigger role in Maye's fumbles, but after watching some highlights, I realized he was only responsible for 1, IMO:

1. The first one was actually on Moses' side. Campbell had his guy on the other side pretty well handled.
2. The second one was Drake scrambling up the middle and just got it punched out, nothing to do with the OL
3. The third one was 100% on Campbell getting beat immediately
4. The fourth one was on Campbell's side, but Drake had the ball for over 3 seconds by that point and could see the rusher was right on him, he really needed to get rid of it by that point. That's way more on Drake than Campbell.

I don't know if I have the plays in the right order here, but it accounts for all four. I'd really only say Campbell screwed the pooch on one out of four, and he was only even involved in two. Conversely, he recovered two fumbles himself which is very heady of him.
