    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    Gonzo has not been great in zone. He gets all the false hype from technical man stats. He absolutely needs to be better. If he's man vs. Flowers, I'm not that worried, but I am seriously concerned with our inability to cover TE's. Likely & Andrews could eat us up. And if Jones is out, we'll...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    The issue is - Landry is old and adds no threat. He only pops up on the stat sheet a couple times when our coverage forces the QB to hold the ball over 4 or 5 seconds, and the DT's push the QB into his lap. Chaisson has moments, but lacks instinct and play recognition, usually running by...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    D is taking a hit! We might see Battle & Muma playing in this game - and that's not a good thing. Also - is it time to cut Woods and bring up Minor - just see if he has better instincts and ball skills. I am terrified when Woods plays man on the edge. Minor is also the best comp to Jones at...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    Wow, Andy Reid only needs 24 wins to pass BB on all time list. That would be sad. I don't think Chiefs will win many next year - and so maybe he retires, or Chiefs make the big switch in the next year or 2 while they reset for Mahomes 2nd half

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    Since our D is suddenly really struggling (tends to happen when you stop playing garbage teams and face real QBs)... Our O has to be better. Their great start last week was overshadowed by the worst collapse all year. We can't rely on Hendo breaking historic 50+ TD runs. We need better 2nd...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    Agree with most of that. I think Onwenu will stay one more year on his contract. Especially with the assumption that Bryant takes over at RT and we'll need a new LG - (bonus if Wallace can turn out, or a legit FA) But EDGE needs a major upgrade - not even sure about Chaisson. It'd be nice to...

    Pursuit of the Bye (1st Seed)

    Here's a total head in the clouds, 4D chess, blatant homer take: I was shocked at how casual Vrabel was after the loss. I'd assume he'd be pissed and salty at all his pressers about "blown leads" and "taking foot off the pedal", and "lack of execution", etc... But he was the opposite. Is it...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    It must be said. Landry has been a liability for the last half of the season. Sure he has most sacks on the team, but most of those come from 3rd opportunities when the middle is getting blown up by our DT's. He backs into half of his sacks by luck. Problem is - he isn't good at quick...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    I think they're due, just like we were. Jags will be able to score on Broncos. Will Bo or Trevor revert more their to mistake-prone version after career days? Either way, we likely host Chargers in 1st round. But divisional would be hosting Texans or Bills.

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    This game is all about if our pass game can get back on track. The entire WR/TE group were invisible in the 2nd half. That was very concerning. Where was Pop? Why Maye didn't look to Boutte? And of course Williams was a non-factor. Pretty disappointing by Henry too. He needs to make...

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    According to my predictor results - If we beat the Ravens (+ win last 2) we would likely host the Chargers in Rd. 1. Which is the best possible scenario to get at least 1 playoff win this year. Then we'd host either the Jags or Bills in divisional. If we lose (+ win last 2) we could very...

    if he avg. 76yds in last 3 games he can make it to 1000yd rookie season.

    PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Fall 35-31 to the Bills

    The score & offensive numbers don't seem to line up. We only gave up 350yds of total offense, but 35pts. Allen under 200yds passing, but allowed 168yds rushing. The real story is in the KR yards = 4/164... 3rd down % = 8/14... Rush att. = 37 & avg. = 4.5... which caused TOP = 35min.

    hate how they just stop looking at Boutte for entire halves of games. that was an easy wide open 1st down. MAD

    Patriots Pregame Thread Pats-Ratbirds thread

    I hope it doesn't mean Spillane is out again, but maybe that our 3 backups sucked. I actually didn't see Gibbens screwing up a lot, but Elliss goes from great to terrible to invisible so quickly - very inconsistent. We certainly need pass rushing and run stuffing help, but Muma isn't it.

    Is our defense good enough for a SB run?

    35 people said it is?? Come on, this D has been way overrated. I know everyone hates the strength of schedule arguments, but when you face a bunch of sub-JAGs at QB, you can't properly evaluate a D. Anyone with ball-knowing eyes can see that we really suck at pass rushing, and have all year...

    Vrabel COTY prospects

    There's a lot of worthy COTY candidates this season. It'd be great for Vrabel, but it's more important for the Pats to quickly rebound and beat the Ravens. And it seems like the Fins are going to be pretty tough for that last game too. We better see strengthening qualities in these last few...

    PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Fall 35-31 to the Bills

    Looks like whether we beat BAL or not, if we can beat Jets & Fins, we're likely going to host Chargers or Texans at home in the wildcard. Either as 2nd or 3rd seed. If we can beat the Ratbirds, then playing Chargers as the 2nd seed would be a lot better than facing that Texans D.

    PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Fall 35-31 to the Bills

    This is a classic case of a young team not knowing how to keep the mental focus in high-value games, especially when up. They came out of half time with lazy assumptions that the Bills would fold like the other crappy teams they've seen the last 10 weeks. Offense was very weak, but it was...

    Game Day Thread 2025 OFFICIAL GAME DAY THREAD WEEK 15 - BUF @ NE

    Key will be if we can keep running well in the 2nd half. Bills are going to come out flying, so our possessions have to count and keep drives going in the run game. It's been good to see Rham look very good, but I'd like to see Hendo taking less TFL's.
