PostGame Thread 2024 Postgame Thread Week 16 - Pats fall to Bills 24-21

[Ross12]

Went up early 14-0 but then the same old mistakes ended in a score of 24-21 that really wasn't that close... Discuss

STOP THE SEASON I WANT TO GET OFF

2 turnovers attributed to Stevenson.

That about sums it up

Mayo saved his job today. He looked like he was actually coaching today, no deer in the headlights. I would have rather they got their asses kicked TBH.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

For the betterment of the franchise we must lose these last two games.

 

[Ring 6]

If Mayo claims moral victory I’m gonna vomit

 

[TheRainMaker]

Bills trolling us not taking the Pats seriously.

Get ready for the false hope to take place by the media because they had an early lead and were only down 10 until the garbage time TD.

A very bad trend is forming where they can't score until late in the game when it's over.

 

[Grogan14]

Maye has all the physical tools. Just making some mental mistakes which every rookie qb does

 

[sb1]

Another example of a bad team finding new ways to lose every week.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Maye's worst game to date?

 

[PatriotSpy]

One loss closer to the Tet Offensive.

Got to draft a high end guy. I don’t trust this fo to draft outside of blue chip players. Otherwise trading down might make sense.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

The lack of running Maye inside the 5 yard line is moronic, we get down to the 1/2 yard line and call pitches, tosses and outside runs and either get tackled for a loss or someone holds.

Yet they continue to do it, it's been every week since the start of the season.

 

[VJCPatriot]

It's a moral victory. I'll take it. Maye had his ups and downs. Great first half. Poor second half capped by the bad INT.

However he redeemed himself in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter with a really nice TD drive.

Growing moments for Maye.

And the great news is we move into the #2 overall draft spot thanks to Mac Jones losing to the Raiders.

For his next trick, Mac only needs to win one of the next two games to take the Jaguars completely out of the running for our #2 draft pick.

Best outcome for draft position now just need the Chiefs to lose to Steelers so Bills have to play starters last game.

I was interested to see Drake throw in extreme cold, his hands are not big for his size, and NC doesn't get 9 degrees for football. He handled it better than I thought he might, and I think this was an incredible learning experience to play on the road in the cold like that.

I thought play calling was off a bit in this game after first 2 drives, also thought they should have gone for it on 4th and 6 in the 4th quarter.

Not sure if plays were getting in late or what but seemed they were breaking huddle with under 10 seconds on the clock a lot.

Best the defense has looked in a while against a good offense, though I think cold is an advantage to the defense overall.

Entertaining in stretches but still...

He needs to win out to fulfill his promise of having a better record than last year. Or can he just walk it back.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Every week it's something.

The worst thing that can happen is a false belief we are heading in he right direction and not cleaning house

Disappointing, considering they went up 14-0 and could do nothing for 2 quarters. Too many mistakes, turnovers killed them and unable to stop the run is why they lost . I always want to see them win, this game was so frustration, saw a glimmer of hope. Maye tries to hard and every game he throws a WTF pick !!!!
The season can't end fast enough !!!
