The Patriots play their second game of the year at Gillette against the New York Jets on Thursday September 12th at 8:25 PM.
That was a horrible win in Buffalo last week. That was the very definition of an ugly win. LET'S OVERREACT TO EVERYTHING WE JUST SAW!
There was NO pass rush. There was NO pass defense.
The running game was good... Except for the fumbles.
The new wide receivers looked lost. (Belichick's going to pull 4 guys out of the stands next week and see if Brady can throw to them.) Brady must have thrown a fit on the flight back. (A very handsome, stylish fit of anger...)
The good news is the defense only gave up 14 points.
The bad news is Kenbrell Thompkins just fell over again (maybe there's a reason he went undrafted).
Jamie Power Rankings:
1) Lannister (what? It's Jaime Lannister? Eh... Close enough.)
2) Collins
3) 's Cryin'
4) Lee Curtis (Relevant!)
5) Farr
...
11,895) Lynn Sigler
With Brady down to 2.5 healthy receivers, I'm hoping for a little more from the running game this week. Here are five guys that'll be key to getting the ground game going again:
1) Stevan Ridley - Please don't fumble... Please don't fumble... Please don't fumble...
2) Brandon Bolden - He showed flashes of being REALLY good at times last year. Except for the whole drug suspension thing.
3) Leon Washington - It would be nice to have a real kick returner again.
4) LeGarrette Blount - This Dude is a LOAD. I believe the NFL is about to enter the Era of the 250 Pound Running Back.
5) Shane Vereen - He had a great game last week. And apparently had a broken wrist for most of it. Whoa. And still somehow managed to not drop the ball. Get well soon, Shane.
Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?
YES!
My prediction: Pats 21, Jets 17
My prediction (Season): 10 - 6

This week we have Fake Josh McDaniels filling for Fake Bill Belichick.
What up, Bros and Lady Bros?
Bill pulled a full on Private Pyle on us after the playoffs last season. Took the summer off. Honestly, I didn't think he was coming back this time.
But that meant Josh got to run the draft and free agency and everything this year. BOOYAH!
Then suddenly Bill comes back at the end of the summer and starts giving me a huge headache about some of my roster moves. No "thank you" or nothing. What the hell, Brah? Not cool.
BB: I understand you signed Tim Tebow while I was gone. Is that correct?
JM: No worries. It's all good. Josh is going coach him up real good.
BB: Mmm hmmm. Can he throw a football?
JM: Even Bobby Kraft is on board. We sold a TON of Tebow jerseys while you were gone.
BB: Can he throw?
JM: Well... Not really.
BB: Get him out of here then.
JM: But I need him to be good! I blew a first round pick on him when I was in Denver. It's all part of the Josh McDaniels Redemption Story.
BB: Cut him. Now. I don't care about your redemption story. I can't waste a roster spot on a guy who can't throw.
Bill was not pleased with your old pal Josh.
Maybe I'll wait until next week to tell Bill about the Aaron Hernandez sitch.
Until next time... take it easy, Brahs.
JAY MICK DEE OUT.

I must have this outfit.
