Five Things to Watch This Week

Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 12 (Game 11)

The Patriots play their eleventh regular season game on the road against the Detroit Lions on Thursday November 25th at 12:30 PM.

I'm feeling pretty thankful this year. We're 8 and 2. How are we 8 and 2?! Holy crap. I'll take it.

Last week was great. I've still got a buzz from that win. Sweet, sweet Manning tears.

Here's five things I'm thankful for this year:

1) Tom Brady - The Best Quarterback we've ever had.

2) Bill Belichick - The Best Coach we've ever had. Maybe the best coach ever. You think I'm being a little generous in my praise? Brady and Belichick are 119 and 36 together. Bill Walsh and Joe Montana were 114 and 44. So... yeah... They're really THAT good.

3) A Surprisingly Frisky Running Game - I've been on board the BenJarvus Green-Ellis train as long as I can remember. And I can't tell you how many times I shouted "Woodhead!" last week (some of them were even while watching the game). That TD immediately followed by a special teams tackle on the kick-off was awesome.

4) A Fast Young Defense - Don't worry about yards, people. Yards aren't points. Making a big play and getting off the field is huge. Hopefully we can keep this up down the stretch.

5) Vince Wilfork - I love love love me some #75. Can you imagine how awesome the Thanksgiving feast must be in the Wilfork house? Guh.

BONUS LIST!

Thanksgiving Dessert Power Rankings:

1) Pecan Pie

2) Apple Pie

3) Brownies

4) Chocolate Chip Cookies

5) Whipped Cream (straight off the spoon)

Guess who's got two thumbs and making a pecan pie Wednesday night? THIS GUY!

My prediction: Pats 35, Lions 31

Now... Let's go eat a goddamn feast.

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 ...
