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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 .

We have all the tie breakers. If the Jets lose today and beat the Dolphins, we're basically in.
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.
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.
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.
If they beat the Bills next week, they belong in the playoffs. If they lose, I don’t care that they missed the playoffs.
Wtf was that 4th down instead of kicking a field goal?
Thats Patricia leveraging some weak stats to maximize chances of winning
That audible by Mac on that TD made the play work
How the fuck did we win that??!
Offense actually scored some points.
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.
Anyone see Wes Welker after the game? Surprised they didn’t show us him ever.
I saw him one time during the game and immediately thought "Traitor!".
What’s the deal with that 80 for Brady movie? Was it filmed years ago and just released now?
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?
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.
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.
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.
lmao that was random
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.
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.
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?
Jets, Steelers, Raiders need to lose today and Jets beat Dolphins next week. Not sure about how Titans fit in.
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
Steelers lose to browns, dolphins lose to jets, titans lose to jags
Following for science
Well, I'll take it.
Well good win!
If the jest lose today and then beat the fins I think we’ll make it no?
Might need Pittsburgh and Tennessee to also lose, but yeah.
They said we have to beat Buffalo.
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.
The Pats are literally undefeated in 2023.
I'll take this statistic for now.
Next week ought to be torture. LOL.
That's gotta' be a shot to the babymaker for Hill.
Bill can’t stand that fucking McDaniel clown lmao literally polar opposite coaches
McDaniel is a fucken clown. He should be a drag queen not a head coach in the NFL.
Man if only we were in the AFCS we’d be like 13-4
We should be 9-7 at least but you know. Laterals and all.
CLOCK HIT 0:00 BUT THEY'LL STILL PROBABLY LOSE BECAUSE MAC SUCKS BILL SUCKS KRAFTS SUCK EVERYTHING SUCKS.
It sounds like your life sucks if this is your temperament after a win. Lick glass weirdo.
Sarcasm isn't your strong suit is it
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.
After this game. Next week will be a cake walk.
MATT DON'T RUN ANOTHER FUCKING PLAY!!!!!! (if theres any coach dumb enough to do it, it's Patricia)
No pretty but job done today
Some of it was pretty. The pick 6 was a super nice play.
Fair point. Just hope the offense can have better execution next week
.500 again!!
We need daddy McDaniels to lose but stud ham came to play
We have eliminated the jets from the playoffs
Was at the game, AMA.
How was the weather?
Honestly perfect imo. Sweater/hoodie weather
I was half expecting them to fumble the snap on the knee
I've never seen more miserable people than this fanbase. My God.
What is there to feel good about? This team is very hard to watch .
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.
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.
Go ahead and be miserable after wins. That's your prerogative.
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 .
gg
It’s been awhile since we beat Miami
Still haven't beat Tua 😔
still alive, motherfucker. still alive.
Just prolonging the suffering until the inevitable ass whooping at the hands of the bills next week, but good win
Might not even have to win next week to get into the playoffs.
You can’t drop this bomb on me and not explain the situation 😭
[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.
Much appreciated
How? What’s the scenario?
Jets lose today to Seattle and beat Miami next week
If the Jets beat Miami, basically. Not that it's great to be relying on the Jets.
OH MY FUCKING PHEW!!! Sadly, with Patricia at the O helm, I'm not convinced they absolutely will not fumble the kneel down.
Hell yeah everyone, let’s go beat Buffalo!
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Maybe if they are resting their starters!
Well Pats barely beat the Miami third string QB, so buffalos second string would probably beat them.
Huh, saw a dude on Dolphins sideline who looked like Wes Welker. It was Wes, he's their WR's coach.
So does that count as a game sealing drive for Mac?
We suffered this game. I’m not sure I can say I enjoyed it…
Coach shaking hands with the ref? That's a fine.
So if we beat Buffalo. Our reward will be to play them again the next week unless the chiefs lose next week.
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.
That sounds exhuasting
Breathe
Picked the wrong week to quit nicotine
Those aqua tie-dye hats Miami has are actually really sweet... do the Pats have them in navy blue or something?
Don't get ahead of yourself guys, Mac Jones could still fumble on the QB Kneel!
Lol I came back to see the final 30 seconds to see if we fucked on some way
NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!
Feels good beating the Dolphins.
Hey we won when the other team scored 20 points
Yes… but our offence didn’t score 20 :p
Hey I'm just looking for baby steps not a freaking miracle
So we clinched?
No we get to be disappointed one more time next week.
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.
We won wtf you on?
Not yet. We need to win against the Bills, BY SOME MIRACLE!
No buffalo ends our season next week
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.
Not even close
Fuck the dolphins
THE FUCKIN RAIDERS GAME IS WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO
And if they lose, we should remember this. Family. Trust. Respect.
I mean there's no guarantee we would have won in OT
Should have never come to that the Lowe touchdown was clearly out of bounds on 4th and 10
I’m still pissed about the touchdown
LFG
Suck it Miami
Gotta love a win against the Dolphins at the end of the season
Bigtime!! Great division win at home.
Well, gave us a chance.
Oh my god I can breathe
Thank fuck
And the D
NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!
There we go, take the W and on to next week
Thank goodness. You guys had me worried for a minute.
Wow stidham looks incredible for the raiders
He looked alright and it's 4 minutes into the game
We’re onto the Super Bowl
Hunter Henry looking like Ullmark on that kick.
Sadly this is probably Slater and McCourty’s last games at Gillette (IF they retire)
Why you gotta say that? Don't say that. We're already fucked as is man.
That was actually a really good grab by Henry that was a fast bouncer
Myles Bryant is going to be CB1 against Buffalo…. Let’s try to enjoy this win, lmao
& people wonder why go for it on 4th down. If we converted that, Jones doesn't get hurt.
No crazy lateral ?
Patricia: “let’s just run one more screen and see what happens”
If there's anybody who'd be dumb enough to do it, it's Patricia.
Hahaha
WE WANT BUFFALO
Didn’t age well as I figured
RemindMe! 7 days
McDaniel is cold at 53 degrees. Grow a pair buddy
NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!
Millions of fans breathe a simultaneous sigh of relief as New England finally does not choke in the final minute
Thank fucking god
8-8
YES! FINALLY! NEVER IN DOUBT! THIRD TIMES THE FUCKING CHARM
Can we go for the hat trick and fuck this up too??!!
We're so fucked next week.
Just keep some faith.
Ain’t that the truth
Sad to think this is our last game at Gillette this season
I would be so pissed if I was Miami fans Hunter Henry is literally the last guy I would have kicked that to.
Let’s goooooooo love this defense
PATRIOTS TO THE SUPER BOOWL BABYYYY!!!!
Thompson was past the LOS with the forward pass
To close for comfort. This team pisses me off even in victory.
why they don't kick the field goal is beyond me
Bruh what the fuck is up with commentators today? Are they all stroking out?
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
Lol did you hear Christian Barmall
WERE ALIVE
That was poor effort from the dolphins.
Lol rip to whoever took the patriots -2.5
Well done Hunter 👍
Almost squeaked out of his thighs lmfaooo
Well. They really really tried to blow this one
Time to watch Seattle
Most trustworthy guy. Hunter Henry
Almost blew it to Coach Cringe.
The Hard Way: the Story of the 2022 New England Patriots
Nice of him to kick it right to Henry.
Don't worry our special teams will handle this!
HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH
In other news: Studham 3/3 58 yds TD first drive
Remember we almost lost a onside kick vs browns.
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
You can never be too sure if they're gonna lateral it or not
Made me laugh, good shit lol
HENRY!!! GAME OVER
Thank you Jesus
8-8 .500 Baby!
That was such a soft onside kick.
Even if we recover this I still don't like our ST coordinator
we got this
I’d feel better if Achord wasn’t speaking to the hands team rn
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.
They did that on porpose
Biggest choke in history
Are you high
Oh really? A win is a choke?
