PostGame Thread Official PostGame Thread - 2023 Week 7 - Patriots Win 29-25

[upstater1]

Major major problem for the Patriots:

1. We were ahead.
2. The Bills decided to run blitz
3. They played everyone up.

So why were we so unwilling to play Tyquan Thornton and go downfield?

Especially when we were playing against a VERY weak CB group in Dane Jackson and Christian Bentford???

Thornton showed last week that he could get open downfield multiple times.

Yet we ran the kind of dangerous plays you saw on Bourne's fumble?

I don't understand this, and whatever is going on in the coaches' heads to make these decisions creates problems for the entire team.

First off, I'm out of the Suicide pool!

Mac finally gets it done!

I would play Thornton over parker honestly.

All 5 WR's had at least 1 catch
All 3 TE's had 2 catches. (Brown needs more targets)
That's good work

 

[upstater1]

I would take all 3 over Caleb.

I have to say, I love Caleb Williams. I think he's going to be great.

I'm not a fan of Drake Maye.

If the Patriots continue to play like they played today, they might win 6 or 7 games, pick around 10, which makes this discussion moot.

Keep Onwenu @RT lock him up now. iF Onwenu is that versatile he's going make a lot of $$$$$$.

 

[FCB02062]

whoever was talking about the wildcard....there's 10 ****ing teams ahead of the Pats

 

[jdlboot14]

The best thing about this game is that NO ONE missed JSS. Did anyone even remember he was on the team?
I really hope BB realizes this and that Parker is next on the "disappear" list.

 

[Pape]

Just going to point it out...

Patriots Pregame Thread - Week 7 pregame: Bills @ Pats

This could, and probably will, get very ugly, very quickly.

Beat Miami next week and I’ll start to believe… a little bit.

MAC JONES SAVED BILL BELICHICK'S JOB!!!!

I hope not.

 

[Love The Drake]

Would the Eagles give up a second for Dugger?

 

[GreenCow]

???

You know the Patriots are missing a ton of defenders, right?

Matthew Judon, Christian Gonzalez, Josh Uche, Keion White, and even our nickel back Marcus Jones, all these guys are hurt.

I’m not sure how that’s relevant to what I am saying.

I know my team and my team only.

I stated before the game that the Patriots should move the ball and they did.

That was my only point.

For QB I think McCarthy could be a good fit here. The one thing that concerns me for JJ is that he would be coming from maybe the best college OL to one of the worst. We must fix the line no matter the QB.

Parker to Carolina for a 4th?

 

[Real fan 02]

Undefeated when Scar is at the game

Can he come for the rest of the season.

 

[jdlboot14]

The surprising stat is that the Pats have the best division record at 2-1
That's actually pretty important considering how bad we've been.

He has moxie I’ll give you that.
Mac has these spurts where you go we can win with this guy going forward.
Then he has a game where your like this guy shouldn’t be on a field.

 

[sb1]

Told ya guys.

4 starters out on defense is just not something that can be easily replaced.

The state of the Patriots OL up to this point makes that a wash. IMO.

The line did more than well today, with Strange and Onwenu at RT. Sow actually has strung 2 average games together.
