PostGame Thread OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: Patriots Beat the Dolphins 33-27

[grux]

Not sure, but did Vrabel get “Gatorade Shower” after his first win with the Patriots??

The players couldn't catch him.

Mac had a pretty good game for the Niners today and won. Brings back Belichick's poor 2022 coaching decisions.

 

[signbabybrady]

Haha misread.

In a game that had two returns he still stood out.

I vote Gibby

So, I got my dog out for a big walk, went to the gym and got my workout in, went to the driving range before golf, got my dog out again, played golf, went to the grocery store, came home and cooked my dog his steak. Kept my phone off the entire time. Went up to lay down and watch the game, turn on the tv and the FIRST ****ING THING THAT COMES UP IS —- BIG WIN IN MIAMI! Son of a goddamn *****, pissed me off like nobody’s business. **** it, I’m not even going to bother to try and avoid the score again this season.

I've developed an entire procedure for turning on my TV to reduce the chances that this might happen, after getting burned once.

I feel your pain!

A win in Miami is a win in Miami

I said earlier in the week that it sucked to lose the first game but that a win in Miami would catch my attention. Well....they have my attention.

It wasn't pretty.
But it was gritty.
Very nice to win.
**** you Dolphin.

Any win in miami is monumental it rarely happens says someone who turned the game off because he thought the pats were going to lose

I’m sure this his been posted already…but if not…

He was questionable going into today’s game with a “foot injury”, so being in a boot might be precaution or treatment for a preexisting injury that he managed to play with today.

So the kid misses 2 xps but hits a 53 yarder pretty easily. I guess you gotta give him more time to even things up, we can't afford another Chyland experience in that department.

What a satisfying win. I dare to say…best Pats game since maybe 2021 @Buffalo when Mac didn’t even attempt 6+ passes?

It's been so long since we've had good football. A losing team is one thing, a completely disfigured, no-identity-having team is another.

Yeah, it's PTSD from the last two seasons. I kinda had that moment too when they returned the punt for the TD. Gibbsy was there to make it all better, and then it was bourbon time...first for the nerves, and then for the joy

 

[Jim Beankie]

Finally watched the game. Maye looked damn good. Great to finally watch a legit victory from the Pats.

 

[scott99]

Thank goodness he didn’t tackle him.

Mac's 2023 comeback against the Bills was a really good game. By then I really disliked the guy as the Pats' QB and greatly assumed it was a red herring.

AJ Brown has 35 yds in 2 games
Tee Higgins has 33 yds in 2 games

I know u like Chism, and I do too, but let' not completely write Pop off after 2 games.

I just think Chism would add some spark to the receiving corps. He’s ALWAYS open. He just knows how to set up DBs to find the open space. He may not be straight line fast like Pop may be, but his quickness is way better. And in the McDaniels’ offense, quick slot receivers always dominated. Pop, outside of one good TD catch, has been invisible. He’s got 3 catches for 6 yards. Need much more that that from the slot. Our RBs have been our slot receivers so far.

He was always open...in preseason.

Again, open receivers aren't an issue on this team, 2 games in a row. If Chism were a linebacker, I'd understand this reasoning, but they barely used a pure slot receiver today.

Yeah, it goes back the the last five years, no it goes back to the 07 superbowl when the giants won in the last couple of minutes.

Im very superstitious.
So I guess you won’t be watching any games this year
Your dog will be licking his chops all season
And your going to have to learn how to hit a ball in the snow
Enjoy

Gibby have some serious wheels when he gets loose.

I remember watching him in his last college game, it was a bowl game. He had a reception for a TD, a run for a TD, and a kick return for a TD. All were long plays. He’s got great speed for his size. Get him in the open field and watch out. Ran for over 1800 yards his 1st two seasons with Washington. And had almost 80 catches his first 2 years. He’s just a good all around back, good speed, and he’s 6’0” 228.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Yes, and 2012 wasn't much better, when Alfonzo Dennard, a 7th round pick, was a starter until the trade deadline.

Dennard was a 7th rounder only because he was an idjit off the field. . . .
