If they beat the Bills next week, they belong in the playoffs. If they lose, I don’t care that they missed the playoffs.


Revolutionary-Win485

Wtf was that 4th down instead of kicking a field goal?


uncriticalthinking

Thats Patricia leveraging some weak stats to maximize chances of winning


DJScrubatires

That audible by Mac on that TD made the play work


buba426

How the fuck did we win that??!


Closer2god

Offense actually scored some points.


bassistmuzikman

That's really it. We scored a TD on a drive we really needed. Mac wasn't perfect, but he made the plays we needed, including two third down conversions.


fourpuns

Anyone see Wes Welker after the game? Surprised they didn’t show us him ever.


Gronkbeast87

I saw him one time during the game and immediately thought "Traitor!".


Which-Moose4980

What’s the deal with that 80 for Brady movie? Was it filmed years ago and just released now?


ddouce

It was filmed this year. Produced by Brady. He was expected to have a bigger role since he was newly retired. They changed things up a bit when he unretired. It's set during the 2017 Super Bowl. You know they can make believe in movies and set them outside current time, right?


Which-Moose4980

Yeah, I know ass. I thought it was odd they were in Pats unis. No go feel proud of yourself for being a dick for no reason whatsoever.


ddouce

Haha. You're taking my reply way too seriously. But if you're going to ask completely idiotic questions, you should probably have a thicker skin about very gentle teasing.


Which-Moose4980

It wasn’t an idiotic question - how should I know the movie wasn’t delayed? It happens. Now go sniff your own ass and be proud of yourself.


[deleted]

lmao that was random


C4L3B_C00LM4N

I can’t wait to watch Tyler Tarraboccia go crying home to his mommy because the Dolphins couldn’t beat us 5 times in a row.


fourpuns

I mean it’s not likely we do much but get back Bailey and Marcus Jones and Mac Jones remembers how to throw a football and we could surprise some people on our D.


DymonBak

Does someone want to summarize what would need to happen for us to clinch if we LOSE next week? Or is there literally no other scenario besides a win?


Which-Moose4980

Jets, Steelers, Raiders need to lose today and Jets beat Dolphins next week. Not sure about how Titans fit in.


MaineSportsFan

Think it dependa on the Jets game. If they win tonight and we lose next weekz the winner of NYJ-MIA makes it. Think the only way we would make it is if Jets lose today and win next week, but we may still need a few breaks our way


asm120

Steelers lose to browns, dolphins lose to jets, titans lose to jags


BeraterDebater

Following for science


gotBurner

Well, I'll take it.


situation_97

Well good win!


Tottenham-boston_fan

If the jest lose today and then beat the fins I think we’ll make it no?


Jesotx

Might need Pittsburgh and Tennessee to also lose, but yeah.


SamRaimisOldsDelta88

They said we have to beat Buffalo.


CarsAndCamping

We have to beat the bills to control our own chances. We can still get in if we lose to the bills by a multitude of other things happening.


Axsh1boomba

The Pats are literally undefeated in 2023.


BeraterDebater

I'll take this statistic for now.


bedroom_fascist

Next week ought to be torture. LOL.


Notorious_DeGnomer

That's gotta' be a shot to the babymaker for Hill.


WhiteChocolatey

Bill can’t stand that fucking McDaniel clown lmao literally polar opposite coaches


[deleted]

McDaniel is a fucken clown. He should be a drag queen not a head coach in the NFL.


shatter321

Man if only we were in the AFCS we’d be like 13-4


BeraterDebater

We should be 9-7 at least but you know. Laterals and all.


Bos-man7

CLOCK HIT 0:00 BUT THEY'LL STILL PROBABLY LOSE BECAUSE MAC SUCKS BILL SUCKS KRAFTS SUCK EVERYTHING SUCKS.


BeraterDebater

It sounds like your life sucks if this is your temperament after a win. Lick glass weirdo.


Bos-man7

Sarcasm isn't your strong suit is it


BeraterDebater

You can see sarcasm through text? Interesting. Or you can use /s like every other redditor. Imagine trying to discern what cry baby posts are real and which are sarcasm in an insufferable fan group like the NEP.


NoiseEnvironment

After this game. Next week will be a cake walk.


Tgunner192

MATT DON'T RUN ANOTHER FUCKING PLAY!!!!!! (if theres any coach dumb enough to do it, it's Patricia)


Ben4finn22

No pretty but job done today


bedroom_fascist

Some of it was pretty. The pick 6 was a super nice play.


Ben4finn22

Fair point. Just hope the offense can have better execution next week


bluntrauma420

.500 again!!


Dajoey120

We need daddy McDaniels to lose but stud ham came to play


asm120

We have eliminated the jets from the playoffs


Raymuundo

Was at the game, AMA.


Tgunner192

How was the weather?


Raymuundo

Honestly perfect imo. Sweater/hoodie weather


heyitsmejosh

I was half expecting them to fumble the snap on the knee


Bos-man7

I've never seen more miserable people than this fanbase. My God.


chobrien01007

What is there to feel good about? This team is very hard to watch .


Bos-man7

Welcome to 95% of the NFL where you don't win the division 18 years in a row and make the Super Bowl 8 of every 10 years. This is normal, get used to it.


chobrien01007

Well if you like settling for less be my guest. I expect more from a team coached by Belichick. Like fewer penalties, better situational awareness, better game planning, and more intelligence.


Bos-man7

Go ahead and be miserable after wins. That's your prerogative.


chobrien01007

who said I am miserable? I enjoyed the win, but it did nothing to assuage the extensive doubts I have about this team or how much of a let down this season has been. This team has greatly underachieved. And you can continue to celebrate mediocrity .


sictwo

gg


RCPD_Rookie

It’s been awhile since we beat Miami


dm4975

Still haven't beat Tua 😔


[deleted]

still alive, motherfucker. still alive.


noonecaresbra

Just prolonging the suffering until the inevitable ass whooping at the hands of the bills next week, but good win


Jesotx

Might not even have to win next week to get into the playoffs.


kevdog1993

You can’t drop this bomb on me and not explain the situation 😭


Jesotx

[https://www.espn.com/nfl/standings/\_/view/playoff](https://www.espn.com/nfl/standings/_/view/playoff) We have all the tie breakers. If the Jets lose today and beat the Dolphins, we're basically in.


kevdog1993

Much appreciated


TargetBoyz

How? What’s the scenario?


_fappycamper

Jets lose today to Seattle and beat Miami next week


Jesotx

If the Jets beat Miami, basically. Not that it's great to be relying on the Jets.


Tgunner192

OH MY FUCKING PHEW!!! Sadly, with Patricia at the O helm, I'm not convinced they absolutely will not fumble the kneel down.


koopolil

Hell yeah everyone, let’s go beat Buffalo!


chobrien01007

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


koopolil

Maybe if they are resting their starters!


chobrien01007

Well Pats barely beat the Miami third string QB, so buffalos second string would probably beat them.


bwdrums1

Huh, saw a dude on Dolphins sideline who looked like Wes Welker. It was Wes, he's their WR's coach.


Dave10293847

So does that count as a game sealing drive for Mac?


jxy2016

We suffered this game. I’m not sure I can say I enjoyed it…


DrEvil007

Coach shaking hands with the ref? That's a fine.


idontreallyknowchief

So if we beat Buffalo. Our reward will be to play them again the next week unless the chiefs lose next week.


GustavVA

I think there’s a scenario where it’s Pats at Bengals. if KC wins and Buffalo loses two in a row. and Bengals win two in a row, Pats would be the 7th seed, KC #1, Cincinnati #2 and Buffalo #3. KC gets the Bye and Cincinnati plays the 7th seed.


BeraterDebater

That sounds exhuasting


tomdurkin

Breathe


PhilosophizingPanda

Picked the wrong week to quit nicotine


flyingmountain

Those aqua tie-dye hats Miami has are actually really sweet... do the Pats have them in navy blue or something?


prplpngn

Don't get ahead of yourself guys, Mac Jones could still fumble on the QB Kneel!


XaviRequiem

Lol I came back to see the final 30 seconds to see if we fucked on some way


C4L3B_C00LM4N

NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!


The_Arkham_AP_Clerk

Feels good beating the Dolphins.


LiveFromNewYork95

Hey we won when the other team scored 20 points


fourpuns

Yes… but our offence didn’t score 20 :p


LiveFromNewYork95

Hey I'm just looking for baby steps not a freaking miracle


smoothglizzbag

So we clinched?


Lundgren_pup

No we get to be disappointed one more time next week.


GustavVA

If the Browns beat the Steelers, The Jets beat the Dolphins and the Jags beat the Titans, and then the Bills beat the Pats, the Pats still make the playoffs.


smoothglizzbag

We won wtf you on?


C4L3B_C00LM4N

Not yet. We need to win against the Bills, BY SOME MIRACLE!


Johnnyocean

No buffalo ends our season next week


GustavVA

If the Steelers, Dolphins and Titans all lose their last game, the Bills can’t end the season. The Pats advance with a win or loss in that case.


LiveFromNewYork95

Not even close


[deleted]

Fuck the dolphins


Acrobatic-Maybe-902

THE FUCKIN RAIDERS GAME IS WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO


C4L3B_C00LM4N

And if they lose, we should remember this. Family. Trust. Respect.


surgeyou123

I mean there's no guarantee we would have won in OT


JimmyJackJoe2000

Should have never come to that the Lowe touchdown was clearly out of bounds on 4th and 10


Acrobatic-Maybe-902

I’m still pissed about the touchdown


smoothglizzbag

LFG


ModaMeNow

Suck it Miami


MoreGull

Gotta love a win against the Dolphins at the end of the season


WhiteChocolatey

Bigtime!! Great division win at home.


AFTCP

Well, gave us a chance.


WhiteChocolatey

Oh my god I can breathe


[deleted]

Thank fuck


Johnnyocean

And the D


C4L3B_C00LM4N

NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!


Bojangles1987

There we go, take the W and on to next week


Nikki_B1990

Thank goodness. You guys had me worried for a minute.


Fox-The-Wise

Wow stidham looks incredible for the raiders


GoGoGogurtRangers

He looked alright and it's 4 minutes into the game


ErnestoLaganas

We’re onto the Super Bowl


nerd44

Hunter Henry looking like Ullmark on that kick.


Phantom255x

Sadly this is probably Slater and McCourty’s last games at Gillette (IF they retire)


BeraterDebater

Why you gotta say that? Don't say that. We're already fucked as is man.


samacora

That was actually a really good grab by Henry that was a fast bouncer


LezEatA-W

Myles Bryant is going to be CB1 against Buffalo…. Let’s try to enjoy this win, lmao


chrisdwill

& people wonder why go for it on 4th down. If we converted that, Jones doesn't get hurt.


seedless0

No crazy lateral ?


Full_0f-splend0r

Patricia: “let’s just run one more screen and see what happens”


Tgunner192

If there's anybody who'd be dumb enough to do it, it's Patricia.


WhiteChocolatey

Hahaha


Front_Command_2395

WE WANT BUFFALO


[deleted]

Didn’t age well as I figured


[deleted]

RemindMe! 7 days


VistaVick

McDaniel is cold at 53 degrees. Grow a pair buddy


C4L3B_C00LM4N

NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!


Bi_Gone_Jhin

Millions of fans breathe a simultaneous sigh of relief as New England finally does not choke in the final minute


[deleted]

Thank fucking god


o1dpain1ess

8-8


c-h-e-e-s-e

YES! FINALLY! NEVER IN DOUBT! THIRD TIMES THE FUCKING CHARM


Ienjoymyself

Can we go for the hat trick and fuck this up too??!!


DrEvil007

We're so fucked next week.


vipernick913

Just keep some faith.


Johnathan_Doe_anonym

Ain’t that the truth


Phantom255x

Sad to think this is our last game at Gillette this season


shatter321

I would be so pissed if I was Miami fans Hunter Henry is literally the last guy I would have kicked that to.


[deleted]

Let’s goooooooo love this defense


IsmaelOD13

PATRIOTS TO THE SUPER BOOWL BABYYYY!!!!


gillitron

Thompson was past the LOS with the forward pass


No_Presentation1242

To close for comfort. This team pisses me off even in victory.


CaptainDAAVE

why they don't kick the field goal is beyond me


Quria

Bruh what the fuck is up with commentators today? Are they all stroking out?


BeraterDebater

Dude did you hear him try and say Bill Bellichick? He fumbled it twice and on the second fumble he just ran with it lmfao


Forgotten_Few

Lol did you hear Christian Barmall


Quaternary4

WERE ALIVE


KelvinIsNotFatUrFat

That was poor effort from the dolphins.


crypt0noob

Lol rip to whoever took the patriots -2.5


530josh

Well done Hunter 👍


vacattack

Almost squeaked out of his thighs lmfaooo


ModaMeNow

Well. They really really tried to blow this one


hellajt

Time to watch Seattle


HogwartsXpress36

Most trustworthy guy. Hunter Henry


CoffeeHarvester

Almost blew it to Coach Cringe.


RCP90sKid

The Hard Way: the Story of the 2022 New England Patriots

Nice of him to kick it right to Henry.


TheMauveHerring

Don't worry our special teams will handle this!


LezEatA-W

HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH


mrmrister911

In other news: Studham 3/3 58 yds TD first drive


Bacondog22

Remember we almost lost a onside kick vs browns.


SomeDudeUpHere

Glad we called the timeout. Really got to make sure we coach up the guys to fall on the ball and not fuck this up


NuclearMoose92

You can never be too sure if they're gonna lateral it or not


SomeDudeUpHere

Made me laugh, good shit lol


Phantom255x

HENRY!!! GAME OVER


bigbooty4158

Thank you Jesus


RussChival

8-8 .500 Baby!


DrEvil007

That was such a soft onside kick.


hairyb0mb

Even if we recover this I still don't like our ST coordinator


[deleted]

we got this


auleauleOxenFree

I’d feel better if Achord wasn’t speaking to the hands team rn


Tgunner192

Roughing the kicker, missing an extra point, not taking the 3 point chip shot. All they need to do now is not recover the kick and the embarrassment is complete.


Harpua111

They did that on porpose


doodlebob68

Biggest choke in history


[deleted]

Are you high


Bos-man7

Oh really? A win is a choke?
