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

[Haterproof]

Pats pulled a 2024 Commanders. I Genuinely can't believe it.

The only difference is I see the Pats finishing the job!

 

[dliverey44]

Bills path to Super Bowl as #2 seed: Burrow, Lamar, Mahomes

Patriots path to Super Bowl as #2 seed: Herbert, CJ Stroud, and Jarrett Stidham

Congrats on winning the AFC. What a joke.

But strength of schedule to get to the playoffs ha
But strength of schedule in the playoffs Ha

This is some real butt hurt **** going on here

4 Fumbles, 2 lost, and an Interception. He damn well shouldn't be happy.

Repeated bad mistakes two games in a row. Let’s see if we can fix it so it’s not three. We should get Mack Hollins back next week which will help hopefully with some blocking and another option.

Has nothing to do with religion or the prayer part. It is choosing to do something together with the team that just ended your season right after they ended your season. That does not show the right attitude I would want from my QB.

It happenens at the end of every game in the NFL every year.

It's not new.

Maye will do the same thing.

 

[DaBruinz]

Or in game shape. Did you see him try to avoid Vrabel entering the locker room?

Not being in MA, I didn't see that..
Hopefully, Campbell and others will continue to improve and Davis' doesn't get put into the protocol

 

[mike_usagisan]

I know many might not like it but we also were aided by teb absence of nico hollins and Schultz.. that made it easier for the LB and safeties to cover. We might have still win it but a lot closer. We can say we don't have hollins , but the injuries were more on Houston but that defense is nasty ... Prolly the best...

NFL is often won by teams that get healthy at the right time. No one adds asterisks because certain people were out injured.

Dude every single nfl game has this. Been that way for years. Most of the top players in the league have done it

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

My opinion: We’re going to the Super Bowl. Seahawks, if they get in will be a tough out. Maye can’t turn the ball over and expect to beat them. Rams/Bears might give us a tad more leeway but they’ll be tough too.

Also, Vrabel is a great coach

 

[RobertWeathers]

Or in game shape. Did you see him try to avoid Vrabel entering the locker room?

Yep. He's not happy with his play.

A sign of greatness..

 

[Mack Herron]

He looked ashamed and Vrabel stopped to hug and encourage him. He won’t see another Anderson.

 

[ahmed]

Well Ahmed, also known as one of the many names for the Prophet Muhammad..

We have freedom of religion in this country, so what's the problem or pathetic about that?

I'm not religious btw.

Not many people know that factoid about my name so kudos for that. That said, why would you assume I have an issue with religious freedom?

My comment was about partaking in an activity with the team that ended your season right after they ended your season. Nothing to do with the actual activity.

 

[scott99]

Our defense is real, super bowl caliber.

19 total points against in 2 games. When healthy, that’s a tough defense to play against.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Maye commented in his press conference after the game that it was a very cool and surreal feeling

Awesome. I missed the pressers — was outside grilling burgers in the snow.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I don't think he has fully recovered from his injury. So I will give him a pass, plus will smith is a monster pass rusher

No question. Sometimes winning is ugly and imperfect and I'll take it.

I don’t believe in what they believe but I actually love it because it shows that everyone knows it’s just a game after all.

 

[Gumby]

Is that LEGAL in the NFL???

I would think so. NFL restricts performance- enhancing DRUGS. your own plasma is not a drug.

 

[jmt57]

I probably missed it earlier in the thread, but how did Hutchinson get so wide open on Houston's last play of the game?

And why, of all people, was a linebacker (Spillane) the only player in coverage that far down the field?

 

[festy1986]

If we somehow make it out of Mile High, can this team do well on a neutral field against the Rams’ offense?

Shutting down Nacua, Adams and Kyren Willams is a tough task.

Patriots are winning the Superbowl against Rams or Bears if they get by Denver.

Seattle is tough. They can win this game but giving their last two weeks against two top 5 defenses, it's the team I'd rather avoid even if they have the "worst" QB of the 3 teams.

So the concept of Christian fellowship just generally kinda eludes you, okay then

No one ever said **** when we’d have Edelman/Gronk out.
