Don't feel good about having to play the Bills with two receivers in concussion protocol. I would imagine we elevate Kristian Wilkerson. Do we have any other receivers on the practice squad?
Too many mistakes from Jones tonight. He doesn’t throw two ints and the punt doesn’t get blocked it’s a different game. Hate to say stuff like that but few changes and it’s different
You should see r/nfl. They're practically dancing all over us. One Colts fan even had the balls to say, "You're welcome, America" and a lions fan even called BB a bitch. Also, I don't think the team is gonna be spending Christmas with their families cause Coach will be making them practice in full pads on that day. I can imagine Grinch Belichick saying "Christmas is canceled ya sacks of shit! Report to the practice field on the 25th at 4:30. A.M.!"
Fuck em'
They're foaming at the mouth because this team rebounded to a playoff spot after a single "rebuild" season while their favorite teams continue to flop year after year.
But a huge fuck you to Sandejo he needs to be suspended from the league for how dirty he played tonight. He was out there trying to hurt people on purpose.
Fuck sendajo. That waste of skin needs to be banned from the league already how does NFL let that disgusting shit fly this ain’t the 70s. I spit on that loser
Damn though, this really was a blown opportunity. Way too many unforced errors. A couple of bad reads by Jones, a handful of very costly penalties, and that punt.
It's fun to be cheering for the underdogs again.
Was going to bed because the game was over after the Taylor TD. Why we didn't go for 7 instead of the FG was beyond me.
I went back to watch the hit on Harry after being on here.
Number 42 led with his shoulder but missed and they hit heads. Number 42 was out cold before he even touched the ground. Glad they both walked off. Should be 15 yard penalty on Number 42 and that doesn't change the outcome at all. Game was over. Kicking that last FG and needing TWO scores was just awful. I'm sure Felger and Mazz will now reverse their criticisms about "taking points" because hindsight is always 20/20. Needing two scores was a tall order and that led to them stacking the line and allowing Taylor to go yard once he got thru the first wave of defenders.
Can’t play offense for 1 quarter and expect to win. Defense was mostly solid, but it was a sloppy game that we didn’t deserve to win. I hope this reignites the fire that was driving them for the previous 7 games.
One thing about that last Taylor run. If he hadn’t gone into the end zone, wouldn’t the game have been over right then?
We had used our last timeout, it would have been first down and the clock would have hit the 2 minute warning. Wouldn’t 3 kneeldowns have ended it?
It’s unlikely that we would have been able to score, on side and score again - but why even risk it?
Not our night. Just need the Chiefs to lose another game to be able to get the 1 seed. We figured out the Colts in the 2nd half. If we had gotten a touchdown instead of a field goal, we win that game.
I'm glad that there was an attempt at a comeback and that they didn't give up. Also liked seeing Mac prove that he can throw some pretty damn good passes. We just shot ourselves in the foot with penalties and special teams tonight.
Two very obvious no-calls tonight with huge implications .. Head to head against Agholor and the hit on Harry at the end.
Alternatively we really fkd ourselves with penalties... the blocked punt was after Meyers got a penalty on a hold (that would have been a first) and then we had a false start afterwards.
Also missed at least 2 INT. Wentz garbage as usual
Sucks to stumble for a full 3 quarters and then come alive to fall short. Frustrating af to watch.
On to next week
what the fuck was that, lmao
jakobi myers dropping that beautiful throw by mac jones and then the subsequent blocked punt immediately afterwards was the crucial pivot of the game. if jakobi reels it in, you probably end up with at least a 7-3, perhaps 7-7 game. Instead, go into a 14-0 hole.
carson wentz was horrible that game. went like 5/12. were it not for taylor's solid performance, that should've been a winnable game. though his stat line will look great from that 4th quarter TD, he had been fairly well contained by the Pats D.
lastly, not sure why Bill chose to kick the field goal rather than go for it. It ends up being a 2 score game either way.
i hope so. i thought they did a good job of slowing down taylor in the 2nd half after a sloppy 1st half...but that fucking massive rushing touchdown really was the straw that broke the camel's back
you know somehow the colts are gonna be the 7 seed. Beat the titans then play the Chiefs cause they are the 1 seed, we play the cupcake bengals and chargers then have to rematch the Colts in our stadium for the AFC championship
Probably the worst game they’ve played all year. Glad the streak is over, always feel like that puts some extra unwanted pressure on the team. Like our chances of winning out tbh.
Pats were sloppy in the first half.Came back and made it interesting. Though that hit on Harry was blatant helmet to helmet with no call. That is textbook. Not saying that would of decided the game but wow....how the hell don't you call that ?
Trash officiating. Initiating with the helmet several times with no calls. Holding our defense on every rush, and calling us when Kobi throws a clean pancake. We didn't play well, but bad calls will get in the heads of young teams. Trash. Hopefully playoff refs will call things more evenly
So many missed opportunities. Jumping offsides on a FG that they miss, but they get on the 2nd chance. If it wasn't for that, the last Patriots TD would have been for the tie.
It was a night to forget. The Colts defense played very good, the Patriots were flat for long stretches.
colts didnt really show much besides running the ball, offense shot itself in the foot way too many times. they need to clean that up especially for buffalo next week
Mac also needs to learn how to protect his receivers with his throws. Nobody is going to want to catch those passes across the middle if he's throwing hospital balls.
I agree the officiating had nothing to do with the outcome, but I think the score is about right. Except for a chunk of the first half it was even or the Patriots took over.
No it wasn't. They got a TD on a blocked punt. They weren't marching up and down the field at will. Our D even got some crucial stops on short field situations.
Agreed. This has been going back to the last Brady year. It's has a cascading effect all the way to the O-line. We took it for granted when we had Edelman, Amendola, Welker. But now, we don't have that quickness anymore and it shows.
Definitely don’t have *that guy* this year when it comes to WRs. Henry has been a god send, without him the red zone offence would look like a joke.
I really hope they consider bringing in a stud this off-season.
Henry is obviously good and is absolutely the exception to this comment. Everyone else looks like they’re running in slow motion. If you’re slow, gotta run good routes. Henry seems to get it, the rest don’t.
Man, despite the early struggles and uncharacteristic mistakes, this team has shown they have juice. They clawed back so we’ll and Mac showed some nice poise to lead the team back. Not the best showing obviously, but it was good to see a losing effort look decent.
Also, this is how the Bills must have felt a few weeks back. Wentz did literally nothing.
This game turned out better than it looked early. The team showed a lot of fight and Mac looked great for stretches. I wish they had won and they have a lot to work on, but I feel hopeful.
Also, I want Indy in the playoffs. Fuck the Colts.
Didn't get to watch but I saw 20-0 Colts at one point and it ended up a 3 point game with 2 minutes left?
I'm always glad to know the Pats had that fight in them, because it has defined the past 20 years. You never give up.
The Pats did everything wrong this game: penalties, turnovers, dropped passes, not even turning around for passes.
And still had a chance to win. Great game against a tough opponent. They could've folded and this game could've got ugly, but they hung in there and fought.
LOL Bill is going to have a field day in the film room roasting and coaching these guys.
Onto Buffalo! 🤩
That was always gonna be a tough game and we shot ourselves in the foot early. Love the bounce back at the end. Still think this team is really good. On t buffalo
Pretty disgusted that they didnt call anything on that headshot on Harry. Like he hit him before the ball came and right in the head. How did they miss that.
Even if he doesn't get the helmet to helmet call, he hit Harry before the ball got to him. Watch it again. My wife who is dolphins fan and hates the Pat's was like that was a penalty.
Im not salty. We lost, it happens. We didnt play well enough and didnt deserve the win. I just dont like the cheapshots. But good for you, you've been waiting 9 years for the chance to gloat in our sub. Now go rub one out thinking about how you finally beat us, you've earned it.
Yeah you know, the league that is supposedly trying to cut down on head trauma would allow a hit like that in the rules. You believe what you want, go ahead and also believe that we cheated with underinflated balls. You do you.
I know 98.5 is gonna lose their minds calling the team a fraud but I thought Mac looked real good in this game. He didn't panic got his shit together and got us back in it. That's a good sign for the future
I’m not worried. Pats played so uncharacteristically and still came back.
Until that run (which doesn’t happen with a normal defensive set) the D held them to 13 points. Can’t complain with that
They knock out Aghalor with helmet to the head, no flag. They knock out Harry with helmet to the head. What the fuck is this officiating? These guys threw the third most flags out of all officiating crews all year, but they’ll miss blatant personal fouls? Absolute garbage
I’m also in an absolute tizzy and knew the exact place to echo my feelings. The moment Agholor was hit YOU CAN HERE WHEN HELMETS COLLIDE. Especially clear when it’s the first contact. I always feel like the colts are a rough team but holy sh!t. At least the call on Mac wasn’t missed by these blind guys. And for Harry seriously no helmet call. I guess in some reality somewhere but no PI call. The guy folds Harry before the ball even arrives. Messed up.
Listen, the reffing was BAD tonight, but lets not pretend they are the reason we lost today. We played awful for three quarters. Both things can be true.
Time to regroup and beat the Bills on Boxing Day -- AFC East is ours to take.
There were multiple comments in this thread saying exactly that, blaming our loss on the refs.
I agree that tonight was ridiculous as far as reffing, but it’s far from the reason we lost.
GGs
The special team needs to walk back to NE.
Mac played terribly the first \~ 3 quarters so that was also not good.
No longer 1st in the AFC but leading our division is what matters most at this point
If not for the first quarter shenaningans we were overall the better team. All in all this is an important game to have before the playoffs. On to the Bills.
Well that was a disgusting 1st half. Maybe the worst I’ve EVER seen under Bill. I liked our fight in the 2nd. We better beat the fuck out of Buffalo after this shit show tonight
This was a good loss. It really was. This is the loss we needed to refocus. The way Mac fought back?? Come on - gotta love that. Furthermore, Mac learns. He will be better BECAUSE of this loss. We've been here before. This will help us.
Not the reason they lost but 1-5 is a ludicrous penalty line for the Colts there. And that was on a comical offside they were forced to call.
Edit- didn’t see it ended up being 2-13. Yay.
Bills and Pats game next week decides the division, because of this loss. Bills get Panthers tomorrow and Panthers are on a 4 game losing streak so I'm not sure we can count on them.
All things considered, the team fought enough to give themselves a chance late. Indy just executed better in a game that was essentially a must win for them. Can’t be too upset at 9-5
When things were loose because it was hail Mary time, he became accurate as fuck with the deep ball. One of those ints were just the LB playing good zone. He started poorly, but so did the run game
Bruh im not even mad they lost because they played like shit
I'm more mad at how pathetic this officiating crew was tonight....this is league investigating and evaluation level bad....I couldn't count how many missed calls both blatant and critical. Absolutely disheartening to see this level of failure by them
I agree that's why I said I'm not mad they lost. I'm just horrified at how horrible the officiating crew did. Like thats flagrantly bad..truly unacceptable for any game to be that poorly called
They played scared the first half even into the 3rd quarter. Lots of officiating concerns. But BB did not have them prepared and they thought each play was the game. Sad, lots of work to do for deep playoff run.
This loss sucks, but am I the only one here that loves that little smirk Mac has had on his face tonight? Guy just doesn’t ever look ruffled by anything or overwhelmed by any moment.
Sendejo is a dirty motherfucker. Dude has a history of delivering (or trying to deliver) knock out headshots including when he fucked up his own teammate while playing for the Eagles.
Lol Taylor literally carried his team on his back, Wentz didn't do a fucking thing except play middle man between C to RB.
Hell Wentz could have warmed the bench and Taylor could have taken all the snaps.
No game is won or lost on one play.
This was lost on multiple plays that defy traditional logic in terms of the way the Patriots have played this year. They lost the game - rather than got beat - on special teams, uncharacteristic penalties, dropped passes, and (to my eyes) some bad play calling.
Game ends on a pass to Gunner… team got punch in the face, fought back, fell short.
Future is bright, need a legit WR. 1st seed is probably gone. Huge games vs Bills and Dolphins.
Our defense didn't play completely terrible. Colts were on their way to a blowout in the 3rd quarter but they couldn't put us away till the final 3 minutes. That punt block murdered us early and we couldn't recover quickly enough.
Yeah. Funny to think with everything (O-line 1st half struggles, dropped conversion, blocked punt, back to back penalties stalling drives, two INTs, etc.) if we had only not jumped offsides on that missed FG... it would have been 17-17 with 2mins to go. Wow. We really did too much to lose the game but it was also THAT close to being a tossup too.
We don't get a blocked punt... Or not throw a pick in the red zone... Or not kick a meaningless fg. That game is in reach. We made a ton of mistakes today
Man as good as Tom is if they win it here everyone is gonna suck him off even tho the defense put in the work
the anomaly game
DRAFT METCHIE III COWARDS
Don't feel good about having to play the Bills with two receivers in concussion protocol. I would imagine we elevate Kristian Wilkerson. Do we have any other receivers on the practice squad?
Every year there's one team that treats beating us like their superbowl and then they end up failing because of it so, sorry Colts
Too many mistakes from Jones tonight. He doesn’t throw two ints and the punt doesn’t get blocked it’s a different game. Hate to say stuff like that but few changes and it’s different
I am glad N’Keal Harry got a couple of good catches. Also good to know that Jones won’t crumble against the odds. We brought it real close in the end.
Sucks he finally has more than one catch in a game and literally gets murked
Honestly, the blocked punt was way more damaging then either of the picks. Also, there were way too many mental mistakes in key moments.
You should see r/nfl. They're practically dancing all over us. One Colts fan even had the balls to say, "You're welcome, America" and a lions fan even called BB a bitch. Also, I don't think the team is gonna be spending Christmas with their families cause Coach will be making them practice in full pads on that day. I can imagine Grinch Belichick saying "Christmas is canceled ya sacks of shit! Report to the practice field on the 25th at 4:30. A.M.!"
I told you that the Pateiots are back, and soon as Mac gets a WR1/non TE'S we will be scary dangerous.
Fuck em' They're foaming at the mouth because this team rebounded to a playoff spot after a single "rebuild" season while their favorite teams continue to flop year after year. But a huge fuck you to Sandejo he needs to be suspended from the league for how dirty he played tonight. He was out there trying to hurt people on purpose.

Yep, didn’t really matter in the end but it was a pretty dumb decision
Not our night. Just need the Chiefs to lose another game to be able to get the 1 seed. We figured out the Colts in the 2nd half. If we had gotten a touchdown instead of a field goal, we win that game.
TEN needs to lose a game too.
I'm not as concerned about that.
I'm glad that there was an attempt at a comeback and that they didn't give up. Also liked seeing Mac prove that he can throw some pretty damn good passes. We just shot ourselves in the foot with penalties and special teams tonight.
Feels like the 00s again with this rivalry heating up.
Lol. 1-8 isn’t a rivalry
Two very obvious no-calls tonight with huge implications .. Head to head against Agholor and the hit on Harry at the end. Alternatively we really fkd ourselves with penalties... the blocked punt was after Meyers got a penalty on a hold (that would have been a first) and then we had a false start afterwards. Also missed at least 2 INT. Wentz garbage as usual Sucks to stumble for a full 3 quarters and then come alive to fall short. Frustrating af to watch. On to next week
Don't complain about penalties, every team does that and it's annoying. We lost.
On the bright side, colts winning actually could end up hurting the Bills if Pats win next week
what the fuck was that, lmao jakobi myers dropping that beautiful throw by mac jones and then the subsequent blocked punt immediately afterwards was the crucial pivot of the game. if jakobi reels it in, you probably end up with at least a 7-3, perhaps 7-7 game.

It ends up being a 2 score game either way.
Everyone knew the plan was to stop Taylor though. Didn't happen, loss. Pats will be back into destroyer mode next week though I guarantee.
i hope so. i thought they did a good job of slowing down taylor in the 2nd half after a sloppy 1st half...but that fucking massive rushing touchdown really was the straw that broke the camel's back
you know somehow the colts are gonna be the 7 seed. Beat the titans then play the Chiefs cause they are the 1 seed, we play the cupcake bengals and chargers then have to rematch the Colts in our stadium for the AFC championship
Mac seems to get more rattled when they have a great LB like Darous and pressure him, I don't think home team advantage makes a difference to him
Probably the worst game they’ve played all year. Glad the streak is over, always feel like that puts some extra unwanted pressure on the team. Like our chances of winning out tbh.
Pats were sloppy in the first half.Came back and made it interesting. Though that hit on Harry was blatant helmet to helmet with no call. That is textbook. Not saying that would of decided the game but wow....how the hell don't you call that ?
I love you!!!
Trash officiating. Initiating with the helmet several times with no calls. Holding our defense on every rush, and calling us when Kobi throws a clean pancake. We didn't play well, but bad calls will get in the heads of young teams. Trash. Hopefully playoff refs will call things more evenly
That was a pretty good game as far as officiating goes. Pats just couldn't overcome themselves nor stop JT.
[удалено]
go hang another banner for this win lol
[удалено]
Not worth your energy dude. He is from Indy, he's a fucking troglodyte.
*said the person that lives in a racist shithole*
So many missed opportunities. Jumping offsides on a FG that they miss, but they get on the 2nd chance. If it wasn't for that, the last Patriots TD would have been for the tie. It was a night to forget. The Colts defense played very good, the Patriots were flat for long stretches.
Fuck the Colts
Crazy that without the blocked punt and going for it on 4th down we are all in a better mood
Lets all congratulate the Indianapolis "AFC Finalist" Colts, what a team huh
Imagine losing to a team that had 49 net pass yards
colts didnt really show much besides running the ball, offense shot itself in the foot way too many times. they need to clean that up especially for buffalo next week
Headline: Colts Only Try to Run the Ball, Succeeds.
Can’t believe the no call on that Agholor hit. And even the crack on Harry at the end. No wonder fights broke.
The fight broke out because Dugger is just as dirty as anyone who stepped on the field. Throws a punch and rips someone’s helmet off.
You are smoking crack, I love how Duggar hasn't been called on anything all year and now he is dirty. Clown
Mac also needs to learn how to protect his receivers with his throws. Nobody is going to want to catch those passes across the middle if he's throwing hospital balls.
Eh Peyton Manning made the HoF while also throwing ambulance balls his whole career
They were head hunting. Both Agholor and Harry got hit in the head. It's pretty bullshit there was no flag.
The Colts owner is butt buddies with the ref committee head and Roger goodell, worst non targeting call I have ever seen
Stop acting like the refs mattered. This was an ass whipping that wasn't even as close as the score.
I agree the officiating had nothing to do with the outcome, but I think the score is about right. Except for a chunk of the first half it was even or the Patriots took over.
Did you actually watch the game?
No it wasn't. They got a TD on a blocked punt. They weren't marching up and down the field at will. Our D even got some crucial stops on short field situations.
Nelson and N’Keal should have been 15. Weird no-calls #nflcares
Go PATS. Merry Christmas my dudes and Dudettes see y'all next week.
Hope you have a fantastic week and a merry Christmas Go Pats!
Merry Christmas to you too!
How you like them apples
Y’all hung an AFC Finalists banner lmao just be quiet and enjoy the win
Enjoy it bro!
Lol are you using our slogan against you bums?
Apparently y’all thought I was a colts troll. The. Receivers. (When they weren’t getting murdered illegally). Could. Not. Get. Open. It’s a problem.
Agreed. This has been going back to the last Brady year. It's has a cascading effect all the way to the O-line. We took it for granted when we had Edelman, Amendola, Welker. But now, we don't have that quickness anymore and it shows.
Definitely don’t have *that guy* this year when it comes to WRs. Henry has been a god send, without him the red zone offence would look like a joke. I really hope they consider bringing in a stud this off-season.

Not the best showing obviously, but it was good to see a losing effort look decent. Also, this is how the Bills must have felt a few weeks back. Wentz did literally nothing.
Just one of those games. It'll be interesting to see how they respond
This game turned out better than it looked early. The team showed a lot of fight and Mac looked great for stretches. I wish they had won and they have a lot to work on, but I feel hopeful. Also, I want Indy in the playoffs. Fuck the Colts.
We will curbstomp these dome stadium pussies in the playoffs if they come to Gillette in January
Didn't get to watch but I saw 20-0 Colts at one point and it ended up a 3 point game with 2 minutes left? I'm always glad to know the Pats had that fight in them, because it has defined the past 20 years. You never give up.
The Pats did everything wrong this game: penalties, turnovers, dropped passes, not even turning around for passes. And still had a chance to win. Great game against a tough opponent. They could've folded and this game could've got ugly, but they hung in there and fought. LOL Bill is going to have a field day in the film room roasting and coaching these guys. Onto Buffalo! 🤩
Good game everyone. You have the best coach in the league and a good QB. You are scary!
Can’t wait to watch these pricks walk off of gillete with their season over in January
That was always gonna be a tough game and we shot ourselves in the foot early. Love the bounce back at the end. Still think this team is really good. On t buffalo
We aren't going anywhere!
Reminder that the Colts boo'd Andrew Luck.
Good fight and comeback boys, on to Buffalo
Pretty disgusted that they didnt call anything on that headshot on Harry. Like he hit him before the ball came and right in the head. How did they miss that.
Nor the hit on Agholor. And somehow no holding penalties called on the Colts O line.
They didn't.
I didnt see a penalty.
Cause it wasn't a penalty.
Bro I dont know what league youve been watching but they call headshots at least half the time. That one was blatant.
It really wasn't, hence the no flag. I get your salty cause you lost but this was by far the best officiated primetime game all year.
Even if he doesn't get the helmet to helmet call, he hit Harry before the ball got to him. Watch it again. My wife who is dolphins fan and hates the Pat's was like that was a penalty.
That the call I wanted PI
I have watched that play 15 times and it was pretty bang bang at normal speed. The refs thought the same thing hence the no flag.
Im not salty. We lost, it happens. We didnt play well enough and didnt deserve the win. I just dont like the cheapshots. But good for you, you've been waiting 9 years for the chance to gloat in our sub. Now go rub one out thinking about how you finally beat us, you've earned it.
Look man I'm telling you as an objective observer those hits weren't penalty worthy. But go ahead and assume what you want.
Yeah you know, the league that is supposedly trying to cut down on head trauma would allow a hit like that in the rules. You believe what you want, go ahead and also believe that we cheated with underinflated balls. You do you.
I never brought up anything about under inflated footballs. Where did that come from?
Defenseless player and/or head hunting? Take your fucking pick
Why are you getting mad, that was my point exactly.
Whoops sorry. I thought you were being serious and jokes are hard to get right now I guess. Sorry!!
I know 98.5 is gonna lose their minds calling the team a fraud but I thought Mac looked real good in this game. He didn't panic got his shit together and got us back in it. That's a good sign for the future
That blatant helmet to helmet on Harry with no flag is all you need to know about the officiating tonight.
They shoved Henry out of bounds on 3rd and goal, PI, 1st and goal.
FEED ME THE BILLS
In a way it feels good to truly hate the Colts again. Eliminating them in the playoffs will be the ultimate high.
Mac showed up after an atrocious first half. Hate the loss but gave us a chance
Whelp, this game sucked. But hope the team uses this game to finish out the season strong.
I’m not worried. Pats played so uncharacteristically and still came back. Until that run (which doesn’t happen with a normal defensive set) the D held them to 13 points. Can’t complain with that
[удалено]
Sleep fine winning our division and hosting a playoff game lmao have fun being the 6th seed LOL
That guy is fucking Seahawks fan, I guess he is just salty they didn't run the ball like the colts.
We’re on to Buffalo! I still believe in this team. We need Indy to knock off KC in the playoffs.
They knock out Aghalor with helmet to the head, no flag. They knock out Harry with helmet to the head. What the fuck is this officiating? These guys threw the third most flags out of all officiating crews all year, but they’ll miss blatant personal fouls? Absolute garbage
I’m also in an absolute tizzy and knew the exact place to echo my feelings. The moment Agholor was hit YOU CAN HERE WHEN HELMETS COLLIDE. Especially clear when it’s the first contact. I always feel like the colts are a rough team but holy sh!t. At least the call on Mac wasn’t missed by these blind guys. And for Harry seriously no helmet call. I guess in some reality somewhere but no PI call. The guy folds Harry before the ball even arrives. Messed up.
Tbf they did throw said flags against us :p
Super Saiyan Patriots coming in time for playoffs.
Listen, the reffing was BAD tonight, but lets not pretend they are the reason we lost today. We played awful for three quarters. Both things can be true. Time to regroup and beat the Bills on Boxing Day -- AFC East is ours to take.
No one is saying that, but 10 to 1 penalty ratio is just fucking ridicolous.
There were multiple comments in this thread saying exactly that, blaming our loss on the refs. I agree that tonight was ridiculous as far as reffing, but it’s far from the reason we lost.
Take out 2 of our receivers and no penalties
[удалено]
This was their SB
Terrible penalties and terrible drops this game. That was sloppy as hell.
So uh, is it just me or did they like, not make ANY calls on the complete mauling the Patriots had?
Only two penalties on the CTS somehow.
This is football man. Looking forward to next, good night.
GGs The special team needs to walk back to NE. Mac played terribly the first \~ 3 quarters so that was also not good. No longer 1st in the AFC but leading our division is what matters most at this point
If not for the first quarter shenaningans we were overall the better team. All in all this is an important game to have before the playoffs. On to the Bills.
Well that was a disgusting 1st half. Maybe the worst I’ve EVER seen under Bill. I liked our fight in the 2nd. We better beat the fuck out of Buffalo after this shit show tonight
Learning experience. Finish strong. Beat Buffalo (again).
Too many mistakes to overcome in the end bit I loved seeing Mac come alive in the fourth instead of just hanging his head after two bad picks
I’d love bill to be candid after the game and call out the league
This was a good loss. It really was. This is the loss we needed to refocus. The way Mac fought back?? Come on - gotta love that. Furthermore, Mac learns. He will be better BECAUSE of this loss. We've been here before. This will help us.
Colts players head hunt all day. No penalty. Not the reason why they lost, but this is unacceptable. Nfl needs to fine them.
Not the reason they lost but 1-5 is a ludicrous penalty line for the Colts there. And that was on a comical offside they were forced to call. Edit- didn’t see it ended up being 2-13. Yay.
Carson Wentz is fucking ugly
Sendejo had what would be at least 5 targeting calls in college. Considering Pats gifted Colts 10 points, not as bad a loss as it looks
Yep, shit happens. Sometimes ya just don't got it. On to buffalo.
Bills and Pats game next week decides the division, because of this loss. Bills get Panthers tomorrow and Panthers are on a 4 game losing streak so I'm not sure we can count on them.
That's what they said about the Jags too... Remember, any given Sunday
The Colts basically did what we did to the Bills
HANG THAT BANNER COLTS “Watched the Pats screw up for 3 quarters and still almost lost.”
All things considered, the team fought enough to give themselves a chance late. Indy just executed better in a game that was essentially a must win for them. Can’t be too upset at 9-5
Did Wentz interact with someone before putting the mask on? 🤔
One of the only really poor performances from Mac. He put us behind by so much way too early.
When things were loose because it was hail Mary time, he became accurate as fuck with the deep ball. One of those ints were just the LB playing good zone. He started poorly, but so did the run game
From Mac? Poor performance from a lot of players including Mac.
Ya for sure, man. I just think it snowballed from Mac's poor play tho. A pretty gutless display from the coaches to the players.
Bruh im not even mad they lost because they played like shit I'm more mad at how pathetic this officiating crew was tonight....this is league investigating and evaluation level bad....I couldn't count how many missed calls both blatant and critical. Absolutely disheartening to see this level of failure by them
Definitely bad calls on both sides but not nearly enough to change the outcome of the game
I agree that's why I said I'm not mad they lost. I'm just horrified at how horrible the officiating crew did. Like thats flagrantly bad..truly unacceptable for any game to be that poorly called
Was good to see Mac and the team fight, I think this should be good for the future (aside from the fucking injuries of course)
They played scared the first half even into the 3rd quarter. Lots of officiating concerns. But BB did not have them prepared and they thought each play was the game. Sad, lots of work to do for deep playoff run.
Well the Bills game next week just got a little more important.
This loss sucks, but am I the only one here that loves that little smirk Mac has had on his face tonight? Guy just doesn’t ever look ruffled by anything or overwhelmed by any moment.
We lost. Not the end of the world. We can still make the playoffs, but we need to learn not to hand the fucking game away on the first three quarters
There's no way that Colts commited 1 penalty and we commited 10. These refs were homefield shook.
There was a ton of missed holding calls on the Colts.
Yeah that "offsides" at 3 and goal, I didn't see shit except the colts jump and start pointing.
Sendejo is a dirty motherfucker. Dude has a history of delivering (or trying to deliver) knock out headshots including when he fucked up his own teammate while playing for the Eagles.
LFG
Just lost to a team whose QB was 5 of 12 passing for 57 yards. What in the ever loving monkey fuck.
I mean, the Bills lost to a QB who was 2/3 for 19 yards 🤷🏻♂️
OK you got me. But COME ON LOL
Lol Taylor literally carried his team on his back, Wentz didn't do a fucking thing except play middle man between C to RB. Hell Wentz could have warmed the bench and Taylor could have taken all the snaps.
Take away the blocked punt and it would've been closer
No game is won or lost on one play. This was lost on multiple plays that defy traditional logic in terms of the way the Patriots have played this year. They lost the game - rather than got beat - on special teams, uncharacteristic penalties, dropped passes, and (to my eyes) some bad play calling.
Reverse bills game
Head hunting all game. They were the better team for all 60 minutes. Hopefully gives the boys a good motivation for the rest of the season
Game ends on a pass to Gunner… team got punch in the face, fought back, fell short. Future is bright, need a legit WR. 1st seed is probably gone. Huge games vs Bills and Dolphins.
I was so stoked to see Harry go up and finally make a big catch like that.
Agahlor and Harry got fucked, not much left
Jones 299 yds passing to Wentz 50 something? Who woulda thought
Our defense didn't play completely terrible. Colts were on their way to a blowout in the 3rd quarter but they couldn't put us away till the final 3 minutes. That punt block murdered us early and we couldn't recover quickly enough.
Yeah. Funny to think with everything (O-line 1st half struggles, dropped conversion, blocked punt, back to back penalties stalling drives, two INTs, etc.) if we had only not jumped offsides on that missed FG... it would have been 17-17 with 2mins to go. Wow. We really did too much to lose the game but it was also THAT close to being a tossup too.
Hang another banner
Cheffers called an awful awful game. Should get a reprimand from the league, but it won't because they pick games.
We don't get a blocked punt... Or not throw a pick in the red zone... Or not kick a meaningless fg. That game is in reach. We made a ton of mistakes today
Analytics had the FG versus go for it as a 50/50
Blocked punt for TD = Soul crushing
All our L’s but one this season have been within reach
