We will need to lock in the next few weeks. This was a huge win but the next 3 at saints at titans and vs browns are winnable games.
Good afternoon everyone! Go Pats!
Huge shoutout to Zak Kuhr. Coming in as an interim DC is one thing, but having our guys playing like they are is another. Some big-time plays on defense when we needed them to.
Dear Josh McDaniels. We love you welcome home
Will Campbell appreciation comment
Drake Maye plays with the kind of poise that makes football feel almost poetic. His arm is a cannon, yet his touch is soft enough to drop a ball into a receiver’s hands like a gift. He stands tall in the pocket, scanning the field with a calm that borders on regal, then unleashes throws that cut through defenses like brushstrokes on a canvas. Watching him is like watching raw talent refined by instinct: equal parts fire and finesse, a quarterback who makes the impossible look effortless.
They are 2-0 in road division games, that’s never easy to do. The only road division game left is against the Jets.
This team has some winning swagger.
That play on the final drive, where Maye was inches from the ground and found Diggs for first down yardage. Wow. A sack would have been disastrous, and an incompletion would have led to more time left on the clock.
Also that 3rd down catch by Diggs that kept the long TD drive going. Such a critical moment in the game.

Been such a long time since I’ve been THAT proud of a win. We are SO back

I think it’s safe to say Diggs looks pretty spry, for the second week in a row. If that becomes commonplace, I think we can put the “Maye has no weapons” talk to bed. Some of those routes were absurd
Speaking of Maye, he’s stacking good weeks and looks at home in McDaniels’ scheme. Henry steady as usual. And I don’t think we’re at our ceiling yet
Bummer about Gibson. I hope his injury isn’t serious
if we want an efficient run game we need to start using hendo. absolutely no reason he shouldnt be used more. stevensons fumbles will continue to cost us points/games

anyone got a pic or video of vrabel’s reaction to that ridiculous anti-sack throw Maye tossed to Diggs?
