Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Bills

[Delicate Genius]

The consensus among fans here is that the Eagles players seem to play harder when Foles is in the QB........

No surprise. Wentz is a ginger.

I hope their personnel people agree.

Wentz is better, but if the Eagles come to the opposite conclusion I would hope Belichick would helpfully take Wentz off their hands.

Wentz is obviously more talented but his (recent) injury history is a factor to consider. Personally I'd still go with Wentz all the way but I can see where one might have to think about it a bit.

Pats will be in AFCCG possibly in Foxboro

Oh they don’t have to play any games before the championship?

 

[luuked]

I hope their personnel people agree.

I mean a SB title would be a weird price to pay to maybe get Wentz in a trade.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

A win is a win, just hoping that allen and cp are ok and itd be a total success. Passing offense is clearly still struggling but great performance by the defense and on the ground. Special teams had a great outing too, an underrated development last few weeks is their improved play.

Onto the jets, win and wrap up the 2 seed. Hopefully see some improvement in the passing game going into the postseason. Burkhead is still knocking off the rust , hoping for him to make an impact.

Missed the game but that won't stop me from making comments on it goddamnit.


YES. Michel is A LOT better than Rex. And you can put me on the group that thinks that he is well worth the first round we spent, cause I think some folks here love other RBs based on highlights... In all seriousness most of time he touches on the ball, he is able to get more yards than are given to him (ANDREWS SUCKS AND WE CANT RUN THROUGH THE MIDDLE BC OF HIM)

Allen sucks.

Maybe I was wrong about Gronk and this is his last year here.

I love our corners

If anyone can link me to the game, I'd love this person forever

 

[Foxypats]

We need to find more of a passing game next week and in the playoffs. Hogan and Dorsett need to be more involved.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

We need a durable QB, Wentz is an egg, plus it'll never happen anyway.

maybe they can throw in foles to sweeten the deal

 

[TomPatriot]

What’s our cap situation next season?

Doesn’t matter. A lot of money will be freed up from cuts, trades, restructuring.

Michel is a different type of player than Burkhead. I am not sure it is fair to compare them. Rex is somewhere between a classic RB, the change of pace 3rd down back and even a slot receiver. He can make the offense more difficult to read and anticipate on paper.

Michel will only get better as the main RB. Especially because he still has the LGB problem of not being trusted in pass-pro to the point where him being on the field is often giving away a run. The difference to Blount is that he has the potential to get there while Blount just could not process it according to Lombardi.

It is a prediction

 

[Jangles]

It is a prediction

A bold one

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

We have to hope brady has just enough left in the tank..... Because we aren't running our way to a title.

 

[Brewskies]

Molasses running up hill would be faster than Gronk today.

 

[moejr]

I would just like to know how bad TBs knee is

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Fantastic win + Texans loss.

Anyway, I feel kinda sad looking at Brady's stats today. Not because I'm saying he's 100% done (though I do think he is starting to regress), but because I've watched this man since I was a kid. He's been the one player who I could always rely on clutching a game when the going got tough. He's definitely my favorite player.

Question for older fans: How do you emotionally move on from a player? I will be a fan of this team post Brady, but its going to feel different the season after Brady retires.

 

[Patjew]

Was that a 1950s game? All running, D, and field position.

I liked it.

Allen sucks? Allen is ****ing awesome.

I wish Hogan got a ball.

Patterson is a load. Hope he’s OK.

Thank you Philthy!!!

I agree with you on everything my man, but I simply don't have the same perspective as you.. First, let me say that if we can't compare a RB to another RB, we might as well never do this type of thing again...

But what I was saying about perspective is that i read this situation as it follows: Rex isn't as good as Michel, for the position. Yes, there are things he can do well (and maybe in some he's better than Sony) but OVERALL he is not as good as Michel...

If the Pats wasnt a Comittee team, would we see more or less of Sony? I am confident in saying more. Actually, I think Rex is a decent #2, but I can't see him being a #1 RB in any team. He is clearly a Jack-Of-All-Trades, King-in-none kinda of guy. While he gets a lot value in our team (and I am not dismissing it), he is simply not valuable in absolute

 

[luuked]

Well that is less than ideal.

For anyone who is unable to see the Tweets like I am sometimes. It says that CP struggles getting dressed and has a big wrap on his knee.
