PostGame Thread Post Game Thread- Pats beat the Bills

[supafly]

Aaron Rodgers put up 400+ yards on the nyj throwing to guys named Saint Brown and Valdez Scantling....Our quarterback should look like a professional next week, no? Not a guy w a 48 qb rating...

Those guys are the future of their offense, though. They’ve been developing them. You’ll recognize those names more next season.

As for Brady, I doubt the passing game can look any worse than they did today. At least, let’s hope not.

And Gilmore

That’s certainly a pleasant surprise for this season.

They weren’t planning on passing

the Pats ran for 273 yards today...WTF is wrong with you? Poor on offense???????????????????? 273 yards on the ground is POOR? What the hell is the matter with this board?

LOL, Joker, you never disappoint!

Did you see the Army bowl game yesterday? Army's pathetic QB threw only 3 passes all game long! Sure, they did rush for over 500 yards and won 70-14, but what a pathetic offense! At least that would be the opinion of many here, if it were an Army message board.

People need to not be fooled. TB12 is still his clutch self

I’m sure the gameplan was reliant on a heavy run attack, but I don’t think Brady planned on completing passes to one WR/TE, aside from Patterson and his one catch for three yards. They weren’t able to do much of anything in the air. That’s something that will obviously need to be fixed for the postseason.

What also needs to be fixed is how they use James white. He needs to be used in rushing plays because defensive coordinators know it’s going to be a pass when white is on the field. It makes us predictable.

He’s still his clutch self, but he’ll really need to ramp things up another level if he’s going to carry this ragtag group of misfit receivers anywhere. After next Sunday, they won’t be playing the Bills or Jets. They’ll be facing top notch teams, so it’s a reasonable concern.

I hope we don’t draw the ravens. It’s always a shîtshow when they come to Foxboro. We were down 14 twice in 2014

Per @TommyBrady12 above...Baltimore can’t get the #2 seed if both Pats/Texans lose.....hmmm...

Baltimore has a very good conference record. Have to look it up again...

Baltimore would get the #2 seed with a win and a Pats and Texans loss. Baltimore would have an 8-4 conference record to NE/Hou 7-5.

For sure. That’s something that they’ve been predictable with in the past, too. Blount, Michel, White, etc.

At any rate, today’s game was great, but we need to iron out the issues in the air, and I’m just hoping that the receivers can show that they belong. Dorsett and Hogan aren’t very good without better talent surrounding them, and Patterson may be good for a catch here or there, but there are some serious weaknesses at the position.

Hoping that those issues can be masked with more Gronk (?), more White/Burkhead (prefer White), and a continued dedication to rushing the football.

It's not speculation. He was at the game, were you? Another tweet from someone who was at the game:



One more time, it's not hard to get around that rule and if you don't think BB has his ways of circumventing that rule, you're being naive. After all, it was his listing of Brady as "probable- right shoulder" for years that caused the NFL to tweak that rule.

Brady having an injury IS speculation. FFS, learn to read..

One more time. You're talking out your rear end again. I'm not the naive one here. YOU are for believing that the Patriots don't know if Brady has a knee injury.

BTW, you should really educate yourself on why Belichick put Brady on the Injury report the way he did. It was because Brady wasn't taking 100% of the snaps in practice. Why wasn't he taking 100% of the snaps? Because the other QBs were taking them. And Brady's shoulder was the last injury he had.

But, yeah, you keep spouting off that the Pats don't officially know about a Brady injury and are playing dumb about it.. And you have the audacity to call me naive?

Gronk just looks beat. His body has just had it. I am still not convinced that there isn't something wrong with Brady's knee despite what he says. He's too proud a player to let on about it.

Where the hell is Jacob Hollister?

HOLY FRIJOLES, Batman.. KC lost to SEA..

yeah..just remember though, no matter what happens, the Pats are real bad and every other team will kill them in the playoffs. You see, wins don't really matter, nor division championships....nah...just sidearm throws across the body into traffic...THAT'S real football.

 

[Gronkowski123]

Disgusting performance from Gronk. I mean wtf was that?

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Gronk is no longer Gronk. He's done.
