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

[n1997y]

One win in the books, three more left to go in this season.

6 sacks is wild. I can’t believe how they turned up the heat on the DL in the second half. They beat the living hell out of Herbert. Incredible

I think they were afraid of getting burned early on... then when we couldn't score, they had to turn up the heat

Too lazy to look up how to add a GIF on here (@Ian can you not make it easier?) but there is this scene I love in one of my current fav shows which goes like this "the mother****ing king is back!"

 

[Zoomnbyu]

PLEASE give us Tomlin and Fraudgers next week.

50/50 Afraud leaves in an Whambulance.

Who yall want? Houston or Pitt?

 

[PatsfanTN]

I can’t believe the fraud Patriots, who are only here because of their easy schedule, and haven’t beaten anyone, managed to win a playoff game! In fact, they were the only playoff team all weekend to win by more than one score. Don’t they know they’re frauds?? They’re not supposed to be here!

FoOLs GoLd!!

 

[ViperGTS]

Pats are in the Divisional Round!! Thats an amazing thing to say.

Pats going to have the glamour spot on Sunday night again

LA had a great defensive plan - made Maye work for everything. Great experience for him

 

[JoeSixPat]

That was just a good old defensive ass whooping. I’ll give Herbert credit a lot of qbs wouldn’t have made it to the end.

Well we kindof knew they had a bad OL but they excelled on every level of D for sure

And we kindof knew that the Pats were probably facing the toughest D they've yet to face

So turned into a defensive battle and D ultimately wins Super Bowls so despite some of the bonehead mistakes we saw, everyone came together and the D stepped up big time - which bodes well for the rest of the playoffs!

 

[Pape]

me too

Broadcast just confirmed Sunday. But time not confirmed.

If I had to guess, we play in the early window if it’s Houston. Late window if Pittsburgh.

 

[n1997y]

Wasn't pretty, but results is all it matters this time of the year

3 more baby

What do you mean not pretty? Seeing Herbert repeatedly hit by a runaway semi was beautiful.

 

[BobDigital]

Major thoughts.... Maye in his first game... not great... some very questionable choices. But not as bad as the stats and turnovers say, The OL... particularly the left side needs to be better.

Injuries will be worth watching. Davis got back out but we will see how that goes this week. Gonzo is the huge one though... Thankfully they are not facing a good offense next week.

While seeing Maye and the OL struggle gives me pause on this team a bit. Seeing the D able to play LIKE THAT makes me feel better. Overall I have MORE faith now than i did before the game started seeing how it played out. IF the D can play close to that the rest of this run they have a larger margin for error.

But again... Davis but particularly Gonzo is the story.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Another home playoff game to look forward to!

Wasn’t pretty but great teams find a way, we are a great team.

Game balls to the whole defense, saved their best for this week. Hopefully get Tonga back and Gonzo clears protocol

 

[Kdo5]

Defensive masterclass. I did not think they had that in them at all.

Next week Drake the offense owe them one!

 

[NFL Mystique]

Credit to the Chargers defense. Tough unit. With that being said, on to Houston/Pittsburgh…

Getting Pittsburgh would be ideal for the Patriots. The Texans Defense is super good.

 

[Vindicate]

**** the Chargers, **** Jim Harbaugh, **** the doubters, NE is BACK baby, the team took about 17 weeks to finally find their ULTRAVIOLENT side and, let's be honest, perfect timing.

 

[reflexblue]

Yeah but now he put Vrabel in the concussion protocol. :-/

Hes day to day
