Post-Game Talk: WEEK 17: Pats come up short; BUF 27 NE 21

[BernieMcAvoy]

Matt Patricia being a terrible coach helping out the Patriots. Next week is a must lose, play Belichick at qb if you have to

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

I just can't see them losing next week

Kraft going to bribe Bill to lose by offering to trade him where he wants for nothing.

 

[Johnnyduke]

The Dolphins are big time frauds. I think Buffalo will wind up #2 seed.

 

[Mione134]

No the NFL has figured him out after his rookie year. Once they had the tape on him it was over. He is trash. I’ll remember you and laugh when he is a footnote in the NFL within a year

I'll make a mental note of it because you're wrong. When the Aidan O'Connell's, Jake Brownings, Tony DeVitos, Drew Locks, etc still have jobs, and you genuinely don't think Mac will get even a backup? Well you're just going to look silly. But thats okay. It doesn't matter.

Cardinals win, so if the Bills hold on, I believe the Pats would clinch the #2 pick in the draft with a loss next week.

I imagine there's a scenario where Washington can get ahead via SOS, but I'm sure we'll see a bunch of scenarios laid out by beat reporters this week.

 

[rfournier103]

I want the Ravens to get 60.

Suck it, Dolphins.

 

[Mione134]

I want the Ravens to get 60.

Suck it, Dolphins.

And to think, the Ravens almost didn't want Lamar back.

Craziness

Patriots play the Jets next week, while Washington hosts Dallas... so no SOS bump for the Commanders. Never mind. I'm an idiot.

EDIT: Tankathon has Washington at the #2 spot... guess I'm wrong.

That SOS isn't based on each weekly matchup. It's the total record of your 17 opponents, so it matters what everyone they faced does.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

The Pats are going to win next week and screw up their draft position, aren't they?

 

[McGarnagle]

We're one simple loss away from Marvin Harrison Jr.

Complete the tank baby

 

[TimeZone]

Banking on a win next week, but if we don't f*** it up and actually lose to the Jets, we pick #3 assuming Washington also loses right?

Lose and it's 2 or 3.

Ravens honor ex-RB Rice, cut in '14, as 'legend'

Former running back Ray Rice, who hasn't played in the NFL since a domestic violence incident in 2014, was honored by the Ravens as a "Legend of the Game."

How nice of the Ravens!

The Pats are going to win next week and screw up their draft position, aren't they?

I mean, I just can't see Belichick losing to the Jets. And in quite possibly his farewell at Gillette.

 

[neelyforpresident]

There’s no way the Pats lose to the Jets next week. They’ll probably pick 5th.

Gonna draft a WR, and wait and hope you re lucky and find a QB to throw the ball too him before his rookie contract is up?

"We?" The TML? lol

The difference is a single game. Patriots "17" opponents have 1 more win than Washington's.

For draft pick purposes, we want to root for the Broncos, Seahawks, and Bengals to win tonight. By my calculations, that would give us a 2 game lead in SOS, since the Patriots have the tiebreaker loss against Washington.

 

[The National]

Can the Jets finally find a way to beat Bill on potentially his last game as a Pat

 

[Johnnyduke]

I will leave the tiebreakers to others but this is how I expect it to shake out:

Carolina 2-15
Washington 4-13

Arizona 5-12
New England 5-12
Tennessee 5-12
NY Giants 5-12
LA Chargers 5-12

Please tell me we're not picking 7th in this scenario.

He better lose. One loss can set up so many wins. Drake Maye would make this offense go from terrible to sub par, and with this defense that’s all we need to go .500.

Buy him a couple weapons and draft an O line and we’re in business.

Craziness

I think they probably wanted him back just not at the money he wanted, which is still silly.
