I know it was against the Jets, but the offense looked excellent today.

Health over everything next week. Yes, the #1 seed would be great if the Broncos were to lose, but I just want them to be healthy going into January.


And, I think Kyle Williams is going to continue to be a bigger factor going forward. You can tell Maye really likes him, especially because of the deep ball.

Prior to the season I remember telling folks how good Drake Maye was going to be. A lot of people laughed at me but I've proven right. I knew Drake Maye would be good but I didnt think he'd be this good this soon. Watching him every week is a gift. I can't believe how fortunate we are as Patriots fans :wow:

I thought playoff contention was realistic, I didn't anticipate they would be this good, winning the division away from the Bills and a possible first round bye in the playoffs.

Gotta win next week and hope the Chargers beat the Broncos. That first round bye is worth it.

Are the chargers in the playoffs or do they need to win to guarantee? If so next week can be an interesting week.

They've clinched a playoff spot. They can improve their seed with a win next week but from what I read they're gonna rest Herbert next week.

Regardless, I rather the Pats play next week like a regular week to get then ready for the playoffs.

Agree. Play the starters for 3 quarters unless we're blowing them out by half time then pull them then.

Don’t want to jinx anything, but the only two teams in the AFC I would be concerned with are the Bills and Ravens team if Lamar is back.

If the Broncos choke on Sunday and the Patriots win, getting that one seed would be amazing.

I'll be at the game on Sunday, so I'm hoping the Patriots get the win. I'm really liking what we've seen from Stevenson and Henderson recently. We'll see if the cold has a big impact with Herbert having one good hand. Make him fumble and throw some INT's.

A win is a win come January.:manny:.

However, Maye has to protect the ball better. This was his worst game in a while, but he made the plays when it mattered most.

The defense got pressure on Herbert all night which was great to see.

Both the Steelers and Texans could be tough matchups, but if the Patriots play the Texans, Maye absolutely needs to protect the damn ball.

Maye played tight and his inexperience showed. I think he'll play better next week.

But really what impressed me was how aggressive the defense played. If we get that from them the next two games were going to the SB.

Well, it's going to be the Texans coming to Foxborough. Their defense was impressive last night, although the Steelers have a 42 year old QB and a poor WR group. The score was not indicative of how close the game was until late in the fourth quarter.

If the Texans play like they did last night on offense against the Patriots, I like the Patriots chances. The Patriots OL needs to be better, but this will be a game that the Patriots can definitely win if Maye protects the ball!

I have a feeling they're gonna miss Hollins vs the Texans, will probably be another defensive game tho and the Texans offense doesn't scare me in the least, especially if Collins is out with a concussion

McD needs to scheme against that pass rush. If the game is close in the 4th quarter I like our chances. I trust our offense more than CJ and their offense.
