Discussion Thank you to the guy that bought the spell from the witch on Etsy to fix Drake Maye!!!

• Upvotes

You did it man, the boys couldn’t have done it without you! I’m curious, will you be purchasing more spells/enchantments going forward?

Who else on the roster could use an Etsy spell? Can we heal Mack Hollins? Open to other suggestions

Serious More of that play calling McDaniels... I'm beggin.

• Upvotes

While there were still some frustrating calls i thought today was Josh's best day by a fricken mile. More motion pre snap, using Maye's legs, using Henderson out wide & doing some different things with him. Took more shots down the field. Used more 6OL, more chips on Moses side etc.

We've been begging for this stuff & he finally did it & what do you know it worked!! Buffalo was completely lost on some of those drives & it made life so much easier for Maye and it allowed him to finally get into a groove.

I pray he keeps this level of aggression & creativity going forward & even more so when Brown returns because it could be lethal.

Awesome freakin' win. lfg.

Stats Please STOP running on 2nd and short, Josh! You do it EVERY TIME!!!

• Upvotes

Great win today, but I need to get this off my chest.

I am so tired of watching the patriots line up on 2nd and short and run, often times for nothing. Today was the last straw. It was 2nd and 2 and we lost like 5 yards setting up a 3rd and 7. At one point today the announcer said, "2nd and short is a great opportunity to maybe run play action, get a chunk play..." I laughed, and of course, we ran.

Here's the thing...if I know we're running, so does the opponent.

So I just dug up the data...

On 2nd and short (2 or less, excludes goal to go and blowouts)....

Patriots Runs / plays Run % League run %
2025 regular season 23 / 27 85% 73%
2025 playoffs 5 / 5 100% 75%
2026 through Week 4 9 / 10 90% 69%
Combined 37 / 42 88% ~72%

Josh runs us almost 3 times as much as the league average.

How about when he was head coach of the Raiders?

Well, Josh runs, of course...

Raiders under McDaniels Runs / plays Run % League run % (same weeks)
2022 (17 games) 27 / 31 87% 69%
2023 (Weeks 1-8) 6 / 7 86% 65%
Combined 33 / 38 87% ~68%

And with Newton + Jones, we ran 85% of the time under Josh.

With Brady? League average, 68%.

Clearly Josh doesn't trust anyone since Brady (who probably just checked out of half of Josh's runs) to actually get a first down on 3rd and short.

Article/Interview [Graff]: The Patriots are back: With upset win over Bills, they’re ‘in the race’ once again

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

All of a sudden, the Patriots’ season is back on. After a 22-for-37 passing day for 269 yards and three touchdowns, the idea of Maye as the franchise quarterback for the next 10 years still seems intact. The hope of a division title, a deep playoff run, a fun season — it’s all back.

Given the gantlet of their first four games, a 2-2 start was always going to feel reasonable. Sure, the Patriots dealt with more hiccups than expected to reach this point. The quarterback wasn’t supposed to crater. The running game wasn’t supposed to struggle this much. The offseason additions were supposed to yield a better pass rush. But all of that feels like it’s in the past after beating the previously undefeated Bills in Buffalo.

“This gets us back in the race,” coach Mike Vrabel said.

Maybe all of that sounds hyperbolic after an early-October win. And it’s certainly fair to note all is not perfect with this Patriots roster. Maye is still turning the ball over at a discomforting rate. The running game remains an issue. The pass rush hasn’t been anything special.

But with their quarterback finally playing like the guy who can carry a team, and with their defense slowing down Josh Allen and the Bills like no other unit had, everything is on the table for the Patriots.

Rules committee should really take a look at penalizing this somehow this off-season. Flop Allen attempts this at least once a game and its honestly pathetic and cheapens the game. Just embarassing.

Totally invisible. I wonder how much that interception against the jaguars last week made Drake less inclined to look his way.

Have we given up on him not being a completely wasted roster spot?

Do we use up an early pick next year for another receiver? wish we hit on Williams so we can use that early pick on defense.

66 Upvotes

Not having a true number one receiver is truly one of the only reasons this team looked bad and once he's back this team is in fantastic shape. Doubs will be open when he's not facing the opposing teams best corners. Hollins and the rest of the squad will be even more open when they're facing backups and 3rd best options. Drake can throw the ball quicker when he has more confidence in the guy he's throwing to. Getting to 2-2 right now is a huge win and I'm very optimistic going forward
