Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Titans

[TheRainMaker]

The lights will be bright for Josh Allen and the Bills on the road for 1st place.

JC vs Diggs will be the matchup I want to see.

We won a regular season game. Well....good for us. Celebrate tonight because this weeks practice better be good.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Getting ahead of myself, but who else wants a shot at our retirement team in the SB?

the one major negative was run D. Imagine if Henry was running it. Don't know what happened, but maybe facing backup RB's the last 3 weeks has given some false positives on our run D. But, these ballhawks were able to force enough TO's to not let it destroy us. Also, our run game was really unproductive until the 4th qtr. But Mac made some huge plays when we needed them. Meyers and Bourne are legit starting WR's
Mills also showed up on some huge plays.

Hopefully JC (and the rest of the D) will do better than last year when Diggs burned him in both match-ups...

Now I can see why before the season it wasn’t even close between mac and cam. I’m so glad he fell to us in the draft

Cam was 5-21 today for 92 yards and 2 INTs, yeesh. I’m not even sure he played THAT bad for the Pats. Thank god for Mac !

Certainly the rushing TD allowed was a big mistake. But overall, I think the coaching staff wanted the Titans to run the ball thinking that over the course of a drive and certainly in the end zone the pass D would deliver. Something akin to the 1990 Giants game plan against the Bills. I wouldn't judge the rush D too harshly.

@Pats1971 Do you like apples?

Pre Game Thread- We are on to the Cowboys

They got no shot... Dallas is not THAT good.

I am sure he will argue that with Brady, the Pats would have won ten games over the last six games and the Pats still haven’t beaten a good team.

That’s why I want to see it. JC and Diggs were jawing at each other in both matchups. This is clearly a different team and now there’s a crowd.

agree with what you mean but a false positive has another really specific meaning that's the opposite of what you mean. But I do know what you mean.

 

[Pats2000]

When was the last time a Patriot's D held a QB to under 100 yards (where that QB played the entire game)?

I dont know, but they probably got 270 on the ground that game too

 

[JMC00]

Probably Tannehill in the 2019 Divisionals. Had 72 yards in that game.

Pats know how to play that offense, let them eat up clock with their running game, stop tannenhill and clamp down in the red zone.

Dugger is unsung hero to me again. When he was drafted despite playing for a small school he was an athletic freak. After his rookie year he's been proving he is a real deal and natural DMac replacement.
BTW - I love McCourty but it is time to step out.

 

[PF_SU]

Almost. They got 201 with 182 from Derrick Henry. It was Brady's last game for the Patriots.

 

[dtbrks]

I hated that they gave up that long run before the half. Game should have been over at the half.

that said. Great win.

I will say the Pats probably weren’t prepared for the Titans to run so much. They probably game planned to take away the pass. I think Vrabel threw a curve ball at the Pats giving them something they weren’t expecting.

I don't know man, i think we're the best team in the league right now.

 

[Since1960]

Keep it going ! You are the MVP !

I’ll gladly be turning that trophy over to “Mac J. & Sac J.”!!

Definitely the team nobody wants to meet .
