Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 16

The Patriots play their fifteenth game of the year at M&T Bank Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, December 22 at 4:25 PM.* *ADJUSTED TIME.  PLAN YOUR DRINKING AND EATING ACTIVITIES ACCORDINGLY. Don't anybody panic or anything... But there's still a very slight chance we miss the playoffs. This is in sharp contrast to the "inside track at the number one seed" we had a week or so ago. Gasp! DEEP BREATHS. We lost to THIS TEAM last week. Days of Christmas Power Rankings: 1) Day 9 2) Day 5 3) Day 8 4) Day 6 5) Day 3 Here are five guys on defense who will need to step up this week if the Patriots are going to be beat the Ravens: 1) Chandler Jones - I have nothing but positive things to say about Chandler Jones this season. 2) Dont'a Hightower - I don't really have any positive things to say about Hightower this season. 3) Brandon Spikes - Didn't play last week against Miami, but Spikes has played reasonabl

Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 14

The Patriots play their thirteenth game of the year at Gillette Stadium against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, December 8th at 1:00 PM. We gave up HOW MANY points to the Texans last week? This is pretty much what I looked like getting up from the table on Thanksgiving. These late comebacks are getting to be rough on my stress levels. I should just start watching these games in the second half. Maybe this week they get a big lead early and put the Browns away for good. The Browns are starting ( spins Quarterback Wheel of Doom ) Jason Campbell at QB this week. Sure. Am I afraid of Jason Campbell? Not really. But I'll freely admit... Josh Gordon scares me more than a little. Marcus Power Rankings: 1) Aurelius 2) Allen 3) Brody 4) Cannon 5) Neiman Here the All Stars of the Patriots offense so far this season (other than TB12): 1) Rob Gronkowski - Even with missing the first 7 weeks, he's putting up great numbers (560 yards and 4 TDs in just 6
