PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Beat Bills 23-20

[Gumby]

Makes it VERY hard to believe is some of these "stats pages" when it claims success for Campbell on 40 pass block snaps and the Pats only threw the ball 28 times. See the problem?

Official (cbs so sortof) box score says Maye had 22 passes on 30 attempts.
Plus 3 Rushes that could have been pass plays (i forget)
gets us up to 33.

Still not 40, so your point valid..... but need to count all the attempts .
Maybe they are counting plays invalidated/re-done by penalties.

But buyer beware with internet data.

What gets' me with Justin Herbert is that; he gets' a lot of balls Tipped for a 6'6 guy. The Chargers have put very good players around him even WR Quentin Johnston have finally come around: they have our Ladd McConkey thanks to Wolf plus RB O Hampton. Herbert is gonna run out of excuses one of these seasons. He seems like Trevor Lawrence: never good enough to get his Team over the Top.

Herbert as I've seen him play alot.. he's not as athletic as Drake and or Allen. He can scramble but he looks robotic doing it. He definitely has a nice arm. But for some reason his teams never amount to anything. What were they 12-5 last season. I don't even give them credit for being the ja-rod rust patriots last season..

Herbert sucks on the Big Stage.

Some haters from western NY upset said the bills let the Patriots win. Was listening on ESPN radio. So a fan from NE called in and said the throws Drake made in that game showed he has traits elite QBs possess. I say that, to say this.

We have our next great player at the position. Now, that's of course unless Vrabel ask Zak kurh to coach him next season.

Nesn used to be a decent rag, a lot of their stuff these days is horrible.
I usually read it, and shake my head.

These are the type of finds that we used to make in the good ole days and we’re already seeing a handful of them.

'Ole' being the operative word. This off-season they had an Early Dynasty level performance out of what had become a less than stellar FO. Remains to be seen if they can do it again but like you I now have hope where there was none. Which, ya know, is... nice

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Couple observations from checking OTC:

-2026 cap space numbers have been updated to include rollover from this year and we have around 53m which ranks us 10th. About half of those teams ahead are actually good teams and i haven’t bothered to check how many players they need to resign but id imagine its alot more than marcus jones and chiasson

- Some opportunities to be increase spending by releasing some contracts - dugger 8 mill savings, ellis 5 mill savings. On the fence - onwenu 17.5 mil savings, possibly if we have a great fa target or can snag one in the draft.

- We wouldn’t save anything cutting rham next year what a ****ty contract that turned out to be

I'm so glad he's back but I wouldn't mind getting him some help. IF a Team is having a fire sale I'm going after a WR and RB. Raiders beat us game 1: and been on the losing end ever since: I wonder if they would move on from Jakobi Meyers?? He knows McDaniels Offense.

Pittsburgh is also listed as a trade candidate for Meyers, last year of contract and couldn't agree w LV on extension.

Bradbury's play has been a revelation. He has reinvented himself here, I don't think any of us expected this level of play out of him. When he was signed the reaction was largely 'Okay he's adequate until the position can be upgraded.' Instead he's outright killing it

When I watch line play, it's from the tackles in. If Bradbury is showing up to me this much, it has to be some crazy stuff.

 

[TommyD4207]

I'm not to opposed to Chris Olave either: he's been concussion free so far.

5-time, 5-time, 5-time, 5-time, 5-time concussion-haver.

He could get a concussion brushing his hair at this point.

Meyers would be perfect for us no learning curve at all.

28 passes, 4 sacks, took off running 3 times, that gets you to 35, anyway

He's in Tua territory at this point, a cracked egg isn't what you want in our basket

Look at his Targets per games this year: he's getting the Lion's share.

Saints Likely to Trade Key Players Like Chris Olave Before NFL Deadline

With the NFL trade deadline exactly one month away, it sounds like one team is already gearing up to be sellers. The 2025 season has been a struggle for the New Orleans Saints, make no mistake about it. They're currently 0-4 under first-year head coach Kellen Moore. Although they've kept things ...

He's had 5 concussions. This is a guy you trade for if you're one piece away from winning a superbowl.

Meyers would be sitting behind Boutte.
