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

[PatsFan2]

K. Williams has 3 TDs all went for 30 plus..

KW and T Henderson are home run hitters could make a difference in the Playoffs.

Dam it: he almost broke a couple last night: he's going to be our Hof RB baring injuries.

The call to go for it on 4th and 10 couldve been the talk of the week. Good thing we overcame that BS call by Vrabel

 

[Triumph]

No, it looks like he is playing hurt as it is.

Just about every player is banged up this time of the season.

 

[UrbanCowboy]

How about Gonzo's open field tackle on Henry? He seems to be a pretty willing tackler for a cover guy. Steps up in crunch time. Quietly does his job. When do we lock him up?

 

[Triumph]

Please tell me this is a joke.
Bad enough some fans thought him playing WR was a good idea, now you want our pro-bowl slot CB/PR playing RB at what, 180 lbs!
Come on now.

Jones is listed @ 188 lbs.

Henderson is listed @ 202 lbs

Were not talking about running between the Tackles. Unless you want to role with Ernie Johnson and his 5 carries for 7 yards to date.

Harbaugh should be fired for not playing Henry on that final drive.

 

[rabidfireweasel]

Why does James Cook gets no mention??

Because he doesn’t deserve it as an MVP candidate.

Henry didnt touch the ball with 12:50 left in the 4th. A big part of the comeback. We werent able to stop the run.

John Harbaugh has blown 18 double-digit 2nd-half leads (most by any coach since 1991)

Hopefully asap. He hasn’t been elite like previous years but even in a so called down year he’s been really good.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

If I were to mute both twins some threads would show only like one or 2 posts per page.

I can deal with that... comfortably.

If he can play week 18 he needs to, we have a real shot at the 1 seed if we win the next 2

 

[slash83]

Still waiting on the NFL to give us an explanation on why that tackle on Bouttee was not called for PI, NFL fans deserve an answer, not just Pats fans.

Cover guys can be helped/hurt drastically by their pass rush.
Gonzo is great. Everyone puts Surtain at the top of the mountain.
NE has 30 sacks
Denver has 63, more than double!!
Surtain is greatly helped by a front 7 that gets immediate pressure.
Gonzo does not have that same luxury

Protocol is Protocol it's all on that

I think as we think of this season and think ahead to the draft, we can all agree on a few things:

1)Few thought clinching a playoff spot before the full completion of week 15 was possible.

2) Even the most optimistic Pats fan had real concerns about the teams ability to compete at the highest levels, in large past due to lack of talent in personnel groupings, especially OL and LB.

3) The complete lack of established, athletic depth ready to compete at an NFL level was terrifying.

We just played on the road without our LT and our best interior DL, had injuries throughout the game, played sloppy at times, had one of the worst PI no-calls this side of the Saints, and with Diggs vocally leading his teammates on the sidelines came back from double digits in the 4th on the road against a talented team that also made some great plays and desperately need this win.

It is an amazing win to be celebrated. Many fan bases go years without a win like this.

One more and he matches Randy Moss in '09.
