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

[Betterthanmost]

Efton Chism being 2nd in receiving yard for WR wasn’t on by bingo card.

This game needed Hollins badly.

Didn’t Vrabes once piss Belichick off about his use of the rules to run the clock down, back when he was coaching the Titans?

Yes, he said it was all he could do to keep from smirking when Belichick was losing his mind.

 

[PatsFan2]

You might see that tonight, the Texans two DE’s have 27 sacks between them.

Might see Aaron Rodgers carted off permanently tonight into retirement: DeMeco Ryans really have that Defense prepared.

He learned that from Belichick previously. Turned it against him.

With Vrabel and Stretch, we have a great brain trust making in-game decisions.

 

[Huckleberry1]

He learned that from Belichick previously. Turned it against him.

I don't think so, he said Streicher had picked up on it and they had it in mind if it came up during the game.

My good friend has been giving me reason week after week as to why he doesn't believe in the Patriots, and the reason this morning is "Chargers OL was injured, no offensive weapons, the Divisional is where your mental is really tested"

And yet he believes in the Bengals. Funny ****.

Gonzo?

Your good friend is a complete football dumbass.

The Patriots could still take deep shots vs Texans. I don't think elderly Rodgers should even attempt it. Hopefully Pittsburgh just wins.

I thought the Jags were frauds due to Lawrence. I just didn't think it would happen so soon. Five years in and still making the same mistakes.

Same here.. I'm hoping for a sloppy performance from Houston that leads to a Pitt win.. either way we could get redemption for that Pitt loss earlier this season or that Houston loss last season under the Jerod rust era..

I say he clears protocol in time...

This is the same thing I get told on a weekly basis, and common thread on the Bills forum.
Every win and Maye success comes with a caveat.
They haven’t played anyone
Wait till the play Cleveland’s D
Wait till they play ATL’s top pass D
Wait till they play us
Maye isn’t that good, he has all day to throw the ball and his WRs are always wide open
Him being an MVP candidate is a joke
Etc, etc…..etc.

8. Offensive line needs to play better moving forward.

Probably the toughest game I've seen Campbell have all season..

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

I think we found out that the Chargers' very low QB rating allowed was for real.

Before the game I saw some here talking about the refs and how this group doesn't call many penalties. I think that helped.

I think the playoffs are "all star" crews and not the ones that usually worked with Torbert during the year.

Maurice Jones-Drew goes from the Patriots are going to lose to the Chargers to the Patriots are going to win the Super Bowl.

I wonder if anyone's asked him about his fraudulent jags.. he not to long pegged them going to the SB

They'll be saying it all the way to the Super Bowl, and then after Maye is hoisting a Lombardi trophy, they'll come up with some reason to put an "asterisk" on it. There's no reasoning with those people.

andersen & hunter? 15 each per pfr...

 

[Real fan 02]

Yeah I was surprised by how unpretty it was. But I think that’s mainly because Drake Maye looked downright bad at times.

That being said, the Patriots Defense looked stifling. Wow was that impressive.

That's all pro Drake maye... when you mention him..

 

[Pape]

This game needed Hollins badly.

you know when he might be available for return?
