Five Things to Watch This Week - Divisional Playoff Round

The Patriots play their first playoff game of the season at Gillette against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday January 11th and 8:15 PM.

Finally.  Playoffs.  (Playoffs?)

Guys, I'm sooo excited right now.  I've been wearing my Bill Belichick footed pajamas all week.

Let's cut right to it... I think the Patriots should beat the Colts.  Luck to Hilton seems to be the majority of the Colt's offense.  I'm guessing T.Y.'s going to see a whole bunch of double teaming on Saturday.



That is one fat Blount.

Josh Power Rankings:

1) Baskin

2) McDaniels

3) Holloway

4) Brolin

5) Gordon

.....

11, 987) Beckett

11, 988) Freeman

Here's five guys I'll be keeping an eye on come game time:

1) LeGarrette Blount - Game ball to LeGarrette for his Week 17 effort against the Bills.  Finished the season with a strong 334 all purpose yards (189 on the ground, 145 on returns).  May actually go down as one of Belichick's better trades.  Hasn't punched anyone in a while as far as we know.

2) Aqib Talib - Pretty good year... But I don't know if I would give him a long term deal going forward.  "Hip issues" kinda scare me.  (Just look at all the ex-Buccaneers on this list this week!)

3) Julian Edelman - I'd just like to thank Edelman for not getting hurt this season.

4) Jamie Collins - He's been coming along nicely during the second half of the season.  Don't worry too much about Brandon Spikes being put on IR.  Collins is actually better against the pass.  Will we be in nickel defense most of the game anyway?  MAGIC-8 BALL SAYS: SIGNS POINT TO YES.

5) Logan Ryan - Nice when your 3rd or 4th corner ends the year with 5 picks.


Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?

No.

/sad trombone

Did Stevan Ridley fumble last week?

No!


My prediction: Pats 35, Colts 28

*****

 This week we have Fake Josh McDaniels filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

What up, Bros and Lady Bros?

BIG DADDY JOSH IN THE PLAYOFFS!  HELL YEAH.

How many comeback wins did we have this year?  Like... A TON, right?  We lead the league in tenacity!  Is there an Offensive Coordinator of the Year award in the NFL?  Josh should get that every year.

Naturally, Ol' Josh was starting to generate some serious buzz around the league.  I interviewed in Cleveland over the break.

But really... Who wants that job?  They've got NO quarterback.  Plus that's got "fired in two years" written all over it.

And it's... you know... Cleveland.  I'm from Ohio and even I don't want to go back there.  Thanks, but no thanks.  Josh gotta do what's right for Josh.  And besides... Coach Bill's going to retire eventually, right?

Now where's Patricia?  I owe him a noogie.  I'm going to make him bring me coffee every day when I'm in charge.

Until next time... take it easy, Brahs.

JAY MICK DEE OUT.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The New England Patriots play Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 15th at 1:00 PM. Rhamondre was running through dudes. Considering how low my expectations were for week 1 and the season in general, I'm going to classify that first game as "delightful". Can you win with a conservative, run first offense and an aggressive defense in 2024? Maybe! HBO David Show Runners Power Rankings: 1) Chase 2) Simon 3) Milch 4) Larry 5) Benioff Here are three things that were pretty good in week 1: 1) Rhamondre Stevenson - Game ball for Stevenson. I know we're in an era where the running game has been deprecated, but he's an absolute beast. 2) Jacoby Brissett - He's never going to blow anyone away, but just being "steady" and "adequate" felt like a huge improvement over what we saw last season. 3) The offensive line took a huge leap from what we saw in the pre-season. Thanks, David Andrews! Dad Rock Jam of the Week ...

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 4

The 1 - 2 New England Patriots play Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Sunday September 29th at 4:05 PM. I would very much like to go back to watching fancy football. We're downgrading this team from "surprisingly frisky" to "potentially another lost season" after last week. There's just too far to go for this offense. Watch this space for additional updates Wilson Power Rankings: 1) How to with John 2) Luke 3) Thomas F. 4) Ann and Nancy 5) Marco 6) Eugene 7) Pickett 8) The Volleyball 9) Patrick 10) Owen 11) Rita Here are three things that I did not care for in week 3: 1) Poor Jacoby Brissett is getting absolutely beat up out there. I feel for the guy.  We have not put him in a good situation. 2) Punts. So many punts. 3) Aaron Rodgers. Maybe not dead yet? Dad Rock Jam of the Week Faith No More - Falling to Pieces Did the Patriots score 20 points last week?  My brothers and sisters in The Force, you know they did not. My predict...
