Game #16 NE Patriots vs Buffalo Bills, Sunday December 31, 2023 1:00 PM (CBS)

[Dude]

Lmao Pats TD on Zappe run

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Nice run Zappe….

 

[Carnzo]

Entertaining game today

 

[Dude]

INT Pats. They have Allen rattled and Diggs under control … so far

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Good Old Ryland……. Back to his normal self

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Good Old Ryland……. Back to his normal self

Yep, write that draft pick off

 

[Dude]

Go for it.

 

[Dude]

This kicker is terrible. Has the distance but no accuracy.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Ryland has a more punch able face than Mac Jones

 

[BigKen]

Ryland is kicking the shit out of himself and his way out of Foxboro.

Can't miss 10 FG and expect to keep a job.

Then again the OL isn't much help

Lowe LT, Mafi LG. Andrews C. Sow RG, Owenu RT

 

[BigKen]

And Ryland makes the extra Point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who will have the worst fourth quarter?????

Patriots' Fans

OR

Bills' Fans

What could be worse?????? The Patriots losing the fourth pick in the draft or the Bills losing their chance at the playoffs?????

 

[Dude]

Nice drive for TD. Some of these guys are playing their asses off. Hopefully they can regroup, get some much needed talent, and build a decent team next year.

Sean Payton says hold my beer

The Bills cannot take credit for this win. Four Patriot Turnovers inside the Red Zone literally GAVE them 20 points. The Bills offense scored 7.\

They should not be given a playoff spot. They will get slaughtered.

Obviously the Pats give the Bills the jitters. Commented in NFL general on the way Allen self destructs when faced with a good D. Bills do deserve a good run for another opportunity at SB, but not feeling it.

There is no way we don't take a QB in round 1

There is no way we don't take a QB in round 1

If BB is still here, there's a real possibility that he might sign a free agent before the draft or maybe be in the trade market for one.

One ugly potential trade would be to Denver for Russell Wilson.

Patriots give up their second round pick and get Wilson and the #14 if the Pats eat $60M pf his contract. That contract wipes out 80% of teams who might be interested. Any team willing to take on the entire $85M is also going to get multiple picks.

Free agents are sketchy at best. Baker Mayfield will most likely get 'Comeback Player of 2023'. He's got the Bucs back in the dance and has thrown 26 TDs. There's mutual good feelings and the Bucs will most likely resign him. After that, age and injuries rear their ugly mugs.

Kirk Cousins (36) coming back from an Archilles. He might be looking for too much money.
Ryan Tannehill (35) played yesterday after Will Levis injured his foot. Tannehill was sidelined with a high ankle sprain and lost his job to Levis. How much time does he have left and what will he cost?
Jacoby Brissett. He's been backing up and starting since he left the Patriots. Bould be a very interesting, inexpensive option.


The rest are mostly backups who've been forced to start.

That will be one of the things I enjoy about the playoffs - if they make it!

Again.

There is no way we are not taking a QB in round 1

Again.

There are plenty of ways we could end up drafting another position. Start with a win v the Jets pushing back just enough.
