Our best DL (Milton) is on IR and now our 2 best OL are probably gone for a while - maybe for the year. We don't have depth to absord these injuries. It sucks because I thought we could have a chance this year with the AFC being wide open.

We are top 2 in stopping the run, but you can see the past 2 weeks how teams were able to run without Milton playing.

PFF graded our OL second best in pass blocking. That's gonna take a huge hit with Campbell and Wilson gone. Maye's not gonna have the time like he's enjoyed. There's gonna be a lot more quick passing games I think going forward.

Definitely unfortunate with the injuries, but every team has to deal with some. The performance yesterday was not good at all, but let's hope it's just a one off performance.

I have no idea what Maye was doing in the first quarter. That was far and away the worst he has played. Once again though, they beat a team they should beat. Have to keep on doing that. Going to clearly be tougher in the playoffs when the face better teams.

good news if this is the case

Both Injuries are not believed to be serious.

Yesterday's game was very mediocre and we still pulled the W. Gotta get better on goal Line situations and Flacco moved the ball on us with Part time Amazon delivery guys as his receivers. Hopefully we get the team to healthy status, theres a couple of tough games ahead after the Bye week( Vs Bills and @Ravens) and Next week game is a tough one as well, Giants are a sneaky tough matchup.

Reports say it's a high ankle sprain for Wilson (same injury Milton has). For Will I've seen reports that it's an MCL sprain. Luckily it's not an acl tear which would be a season ender. There's a full 5 weeks til playoffs start. Milton is definitely coming back. Wilson should be able to as well. Hopefully Will can recover fast enough to be ready for the playoffs.

Maye started off yesterday like he was getting paid to blow the game. A lot of 'wtf' throws we haven't seen all year. The standard he' set during this run is insanely high that even after playing better after the 1st quarter, we all still feel like he didn't play well.

Just get healthy. Home field would be great, but if you have to give that up to make sure everyone is fully healthy, or as healthy as possible, that is a trade off that’s worth it. If the Patriots lose one more game, I still think there’s a chance they get the #1 seed. If they lose two more games, the chances are obviously lower, but I think they could still get it with the teams that the Broncos and Colts have left on their schedule.

Need to beat the Giants, Jets, and Dolphins. Can’t drop games there. Show up against the Bills and Ravens and they have a great chance.

 

[BucciMane]

From what I've seen today, the Patriots chances to win the AFC are looking better and better. The Chiefs are on life support, and the Ravens do not look good at all.

The Patriots just need to get fully healthy, and I truly believe they can beat any AFC team right now.

 

[BucciMane]

Another very good win, but their lack of execution in the red-zone, specifically around the ten yard and closer is pretty concerning right now. Not sure they can continue to struggle like that against some better teams come January/February.

Good win going into the bye week.

We're getting Milton back after the bye, hopefully Wilson too. Interior on both sides of the ball hasn't been great on running plays (OL pass protected well last night though).

Need to be able to run the ball in goal to go situations. Otherwise it's always gonna be on hard mode if we have to pass in a condensed area. Those fade routes are not high percentage plays.

All I been hearing about is the patriots “weak” schedule, turns out most of the league has played little vs Playoff opponents.

 

[Seven1986]

Last night's game may have been the most aggressive I've seen with the Defense and ST this season, so that's a good sign.

I'm impressed with how well the left side of the OL held up.

I agree with BucciMane about the concerns with the RedZone because just stalling out with FGs won't cut it in the playoffs.
(It's still wild we can talk about playoffs with this team)

I can't wait to go to the Bills/Pats game, considering the Pats can win the East if they win.

I don't want to be overly critical as they have been playing very well, but I really do think that red-zone offense, especially inside the ten yard line needs to vastly improve. You can't keep settling for a FG attempt or going for it on 4th and goal. That isn't going to work come January.

I think McDaniels starts to use Kyle Williams and maybe Demario Douglas more as deep threats. I'm sure he'll have some plays up his sleeve come January, but I like what I've been seeing recently for the most part.

 

[BucciMane]

Well, the game on Sunday is even more important now. I think that game will show us a lot. Josh Allen has been playing some excellent football recently, making multiple miracle plays. If the Patriots beat them, not only will they win the AFC East, but it should definitely prove they can play with anyone and that the schedule talk is a lame talking point.

 

[BucciMane]

Maye did not play his best during the first three quarters, but he showed up and made the big plays when it mattered.

Diggs continues to be an A++++++ addition to the team.

This is my Captain.
