PostGame Thread OFFICIAL 2025 Week 16 Postgame Thread: Patriots Clinch Playoff Berth with 28-24 win over Ravens

That Might be hard to do seeing how watered down the League and College Players are. A Team might say I'll take chance on V-Lowe with his experience over a Rookie. We are going to need another Swing Tackle in the Draft also hoping that Marcus Bryant develops.

We have the cap space.. Lowe will get exposed elsewhere.. he's on a team that knows him best and is developing him best.. of course I don't blame him go for the $$$.. but he may see more $$$ and opportunity here as swing OT.. don't forget old man Moses is short timer...

Wallace and Bryant both young and still developing players..

You don’t think Campbell will be back based on what?

Sent you a link DD..

He's not out for the year but it's a combination of it's still a serious injury, rehab, ect. And the Fact lowe is playing well. What makes you think Vrabel is going to rush his stud LT back and ruin him like Shanny did to RG3???

Lowe didn’t play well against Balt, there is a significant dropoff from Will to him.
I don’t think he will be rushed back, but if he is medically cleared (which is not Vrabs call), he will be back for one very simple reason: he gives us a better chance to win.
It’s really that simple, the only thing that matters is winning, and Vrabs will field the best team possible, as he should.

What makes you think he isn’t ready and he would be rushed back?

Twin.. we have to also understand Campbell is a rookie and had a serious knee injury.. Vrabel's not going to rush him back and risk ruining his career like RG3 remember???.. he even said he had to put Campbell on IR to protect the player.. Lowe is playing well.. protect the future LT. if you have a veteran playing well..

To me Collinsworth by far the worst. He is obtuse to what is happening on the field, seemingly just there to over praise players.
There are numerous times he will make a comment such as “they’ve been doing that all night” after say a good run when the team has struggled to run the entire game.

They all have their faults.
I remember a game Romo did of ours a few years back and some scrub player (a Mapu type) made one play and Romo goes on about how good he is and how NE loved him. It was literally a guy that was awful. It was the most uninformed thing I’ve heard a color man say.
To each there own, but I like CC.

Read the entirety of the overall post.. I said I personally don't think he's coming back.. Just my hunch.. look at the time frame of the injury and the extent of his injury.. I don't care a knee injury is a knee injury.. MCL, PCL ,ACL rehabilitation and ramp up all factors in.. again my OPINION..

Twin: we need Will Campbell back for any shot at winning in the Postseason. I don't mind Lowe for a spell: but he's not a guy you want when the real bullets start to fly. Maye's pocket presence is getting better as we speak: but I would like him master that craft with Campbell protecting his blindside. Also Campbell look good on the sidelines Sunday Night.

Thinking back on this game a bit. Is it just me or did it seem like the more Maye got hit, the MORE accurate he got? He was a little bit hesitant/sloppy early and he really zeroed in in the 4th quarter despite getting pummeled more and more as the game went on. Usually, you see the opposite...

He was excellent in the face of pressure.
I remember a Brady interview post game, might even been against the Ravens, and he said they knew going into the game it would that type of game where he would have to hang in the pocket and make clutch throws under heavy duress. That’s what Maye did this game, stood tall with pressure all around him and delivered. It was impressive

Sometimes less time to think can lead to more decisive accurate throws

So the guy who threw for almost 400 yards and came back by throwing a perfect pass over the WR's shoulder then won the game with 2 minutes to go "sucked" because he made one bad play? Do you sit there yelling "DRAKE MAYE SUCKS!" then "DRAKE MAYE IS THE GREATEST QB EVER TO PLAY THE GAME" depending on the outcome of each play? What an odd way to watch football. You must be very exciting to be around when the game is on.

Since you appear to lack self-awareness, perhaps this "Pro Tip" from one of the oldsters might help? The proper way to respond to the first poster would be "Yeah, I was a bit out of control there, sorry. Love our QB." Or, of course, you could continue to insult everyone who points out your lack of maturity and OTT behavior in the game threads by calling us weirdos. Up to you, Junior.

Here's a pro tip.

When something is bad, it's bad.

When something is good it's good.

You can continue to insult and gaslight me all you want but it doesn't change the fact that when I said he sucked he sucked.

You will find this hard to believe but when he went off in the 4th quarter, you guessed it, yes indeed the commentary was how awesome he was playing.

Wow who would have thought. To react appropriately in real time to what you're seeing. What a concept.

It's not me insulting anyone. It's you people continuing to throw fits whenever there's any signs of adversity. Grow up.

I don't like QB's getting hit like that. He was down for a little after one of those shots.

Re Lowe: Still not an NFL starter but I think he's demonstrated this year he's more than an adequate backup. Good coaching helps a lot.

Twin i agree you know i do... I'm simply only saying IF Campbell isn't 100% why risk his future? RG3 was ruined by being rushed back not that this is the case at all.. I'm only being cautious you understand? Lowe actually played well.. most of the pressure was up the middle better the C and G on Drake.. Lowe held his own..

Agreed.. he's worth a resign for swing OT depth.

Sorry man, Lowe didn’t play well.
Let’s remember Balt has a really bad pass rush, and Maye was under constant pressure.
Backup, yes Lowe is fine, but there hs a 0% chance Campbell won’t start as soon as he’s medically cleared.

DD the pressure was right up the gut.. and Baltimore had to blitz to create heavy pressure in wich lowe still held up.. now please don't get me wrong.. Lowe has moved up to average from terrible... he's far from the problem on the OL.. Bradbury allows to much interior pressure.. I'm with you on Campbell PROVIDED he has no limitations.. I'm just being cautious.

Why are all of your opinions negative, gloomy and predicting the worst?
