Post-Game Talk: WEEK 11 1:01 PM - Los Angeles Rams 28 Pats 22

Why is Pop Douglas running 40 yards down the field on 3rd and 13

 

[DangleCity]

Gotta get some decent WRs in here

 

[ON3M4N]

Whatever they "offered" Aiyuk is irrelevant because they never traded for him, so it was never real. Until I see a player walk away from the Patriots despite having the best contract out there, then I'm not letting Kraft off the hook.

WTF

Because he refused to sign with NE......i.e. he walked away from the best contract out there.

 

[PB37]

That one was on Douglas.

He wasn't a FA. He didn't walk away from anything.

Those last two play calls were certainly something. That run on first down was a waste of a play if that was the gameplan.

I had the same thought on the run. Seemed like a really bad idea. Maybe it's an incomplete pass and Rams get a sack on 2nd down anyway, putting them even further behind the sticks, but every play at that point in the game should have the goal of getting a 1st down, and it led to putting Maye in a position where he was going to have to force it.

 

[CDJ]

I love our QB at least

 

[Johnnyduke]

That one was on Douglas.

It was a prayer from Maye but ya i am questioning why the receiver is running all the way down the field when you need 13. It was also 3rd down so Maye could have played for 4th.

 

[Johnnyduke]

The Colts beat the Jets

Life is still good

 

[Smitty93]

I swear, he says something stupid in his post-game press conference every week.

Comeback would have been sweet but good day otherwise

Game was decided at line of scrimmage

Rams OL is very good & DL is ferocious and quick side to side

Belichick handed them a shit sandwich overall - going to take a very good offseason

LT round 1
C round 2

FA WR stud

11-6 in 2025 DKH Lock

 

[ON3M4N]

He refused to sign an extension with NE and he wasn't going to play without a new deal. That's why NE didn't trade for him. You can keep trying to twist it how you want to fit your narrative, but the Patriots were willing to pay the marquee WR's this off-season and they wouldn't come here because of the QB situation.

We’re just gonna end up with Tee Higgins and another WR picked high in the draft and it will be all good

Is this more of a guarantee than a Don Godfather Bruins Wild Card playoff berth “book it”?

A loss by a terrible roster and inept coaching is a good day?

Thanks for reminding me I am attending a reality-check/yoga retreat in December and same weekend as my buddy class reunion who has to bag out.

Will extend to Don Godfather

 

[Johnnyduke]

If the Bills can't win this one i will throw up my hands and conceive the undefeated season for Chiefs

(Until they lose super bowl to Lions hopefully but i would never wager on Goff beating Mahomes)

 

[Johnnyduke]

Gene Sterratore telling us a ball is incomplete and they don't even bother to look at it

That was in-f***ing-sane.

I'm not spinning anything. No FA has walked away from the top deal on the market. They offered the most money to guys like Henry and Judon, and they signed with them. It's really not hard. The Aiyuk situation is extremely different than a FA. He was looking for an extension and demanded a trade or holdout till he got his contract. He used the Patriots for leverage. How was it that they where somehow going to blow away Ayiuk with an extension, but come up short on Ridley when that fell through? It's a convient excuse for Kraft to go after a guy that was never leaving his team to begin with. When they had a guy in the open market that had no team and had to sign somewhere, they came up short.

They've been bottom of the league in spending for years now. That's unacceptable, plain and simple.

100% correct

 

[DangleCity]

Right.... Because if it's one thing the New England Patriots have proved, it's that they know how to draft WRs
