Five Things to Watch This Week

Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 17

The Patriots play their sixteenth and final regular season game on the road against Houston on Sunday January 3rd at Reliant Stadium.

Convincing win last week. Just in time to get my hopes up for the playoffs. Are we healthy? Are we a dominant team? Are we a second-tier team? I have no idea. But I like our coach. And I like our QB. So I guess we'll take that and roll the dice.

League rankings: Points scored - 7th. Points allowed - 4th. Huh... That sounds like a pretty good team actually. I'm not saying they'll win it all, but they still could be dangerous.

Do I like idea of having to go to San Diego AND Indy? Absolutely not. But neither one of them is unbeatable.

Unfortunately, this game against the Texans this week barely matters. Here's what I'll be watching for this week:

Brian Hoyer - Let's give Tom a break this week.

Sammy Morris - Heck of a week last week. Let's see if he can build a little momentum for the playoffs. Obviously, Laurence can't hold on to the ball anymore.

Julian Edelman - I'd really like to see him emerge as the third WR.

Randy Moss - He was killer last week. Rest him, too.

Mike Wright / Jarvis Green - An acceptable substitute for Richard Seymour, no?.

Instead of pictures of Big Sexy Vince, I will now end every post with this picture. It makes me happy.

(Tell me that Peyton was on board with coming out in the second half...)

My prediction:

Pats 24, Texans 30

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The 1 - 4 New England Patriots play C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 13th at 1:00 PM. They really should stop buttering the ball between plays. That Patriots - Dolphins game last week was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Let's never speak of it again. The Patriots have announced third overall pick Drake Maye as the starting quarterback this week. I feel like it's too soon. But it's not my job on the line. I'll be nice and cozy on the couch with snacks and beverages and a dog that will pick the absolute worst time to decide that he has to go out. Drake Power Rankings: 1) 's Cakes 2) (the duck) 3) (the singer from Canada) 4) Gilded 5) Maye Here are three things that could have been better in week 5: 1) Jacoby Brissett. Thank you for your contributions. I appreciate your effort. I'm not sure how you're still standing. 2) The play calling had me scratching my head on multiple occasions. 3) The whole WR position...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

"Is there any of the good Scotch left?" the Rookie asked. "I wouldn't call it good Scotch. But no. We finished that weeks ago," the Veteran responded. Outmanned and outgunned, they rode west across New York to the certain slaughter waiting for them at Orchard Park. The streets wide and flat, indifferent to their struggle. "Is the water safe to drink?" "Don't know. Try it and find out." General Mayo lacked the sense of direction his predecessor displayed. If there was dissension in the ranks, it didn't show. But there was also no lust for the battlefield. Going beyond what was required of one's duty. They just didn't have the spirit for it. His predecessor had been deposed because the vibes were off. And now he risked the same fate. "Is there anything to eat?" "There's an empty can of beans. You may lick what's left off the bottom of it if you like." The talent level of recruits was lacking, not up ...
