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

[Bfanlc]

He blew that wide open Hunter Henry throw. That was an easy TD. This game he has been throwing a bit too high. Not sure if it was the cold or not...

Believe Hunter was grabbed a little on his cut which threw their timing off.

Patriots played super conservative in the red zone, clearly the game plan was to kick field goals and play defense. Run defense was terrible

36-13

Being the homer i am, i drafted 3 NE players on my fantasy team. One player was mediocre, had better options.

With that said, I kept Folk and NE D... and oh baby. They have not disappointed. Go Pats!

Anybody have the defensive snap count yet?

Typically I don't expect to see them mid-morning tomorrow.

And you came in late!

Just call me “The Closer.”

I hardly saw Barmore and curious how much he played.

He was ok.. I did see him get Triple-Teamed on Judn's sack of Tannehill.

Stat I saw on social media: Belichick Patriots teams are 4-1 when giving up 250+ yards rushing.

I think they're figuring out how to use Smith's skills in this offense. Looks at all his plays - get him on routes that allow him to catch and turn, then his athleticism can kick in.

I keep seeing Smith taking unnecessary steps when he gets the ball. They need to work it out. Either Mac is not throwing the ball to where wants it or he Smith is only comfortable catching the ball one way. It ways so much time.

 

[Gallo]

Unreal what this team has been doing in the last 6 weeks or so. Totally dominant stuff.

Reading a bunch of the comments here. Did we beat the #1 team in the AFC by 23 points?

The old super bowl XXV philosophy "If Thurman runs for100 yds, we win" give them the run and dont let them beat you with the pass.......

Not sure it is the same. Taking away Jim Kelly was important - the Bills had a serious passing game. Probably don’t need to allow 250 yards rushing to stop Tannehill and the misfit toys.

Good, bad Ugly, Patriots.com , Mac sucked, in case you didnt know . Paul making case that Mac was solid, Duce reluctant Mac ok, Hardy Mac sucked. But KB, Jonnu, Jacobi good

I guess the biggest thing for me is to shore up that run D. December and January are coming. We are physical up the middle but good teams will run that ball late in the season, and into the post-season. With that secondary playing lights out...we would be even more dominant. a bit of nit-picking here obviously. Playing great though for sure.

A quick peek at the NFC standings suggests the narrative that « the AFC blows, the real teams are in the NFC » isn’t quite factual.

I think ARI, TB, and GB are the class of the NFC and all three are flawed ‘best teams’.

I’m not saying I think NE is going to plow everyone, but lots has changed since mid OCT.

If you can't stop the run inside you're pretty flawed too.

But six weeks ago it would have been nuts to even open this discussion. The fact that the Pats are in the conversation is a great achievement.

Yep "The NFC is the better conference" is utter BS! The AFC is tough from the top down to about the 12th team or so. The NFC has about 5 legitimate playoff teams and will have seven slots. They have 10 teams with losing records in the NFC. The conference sucks as a whole.
