Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The Patriots play their sixth game of the year at The Ralph against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, October 12 at 1:00 PM.

Whoa... Where was that team in Week 4?  That was the best game they played all year.

Sky not falling.  World not ending.

I think last week's game was pretty close to what I want this team to be.  Run the ball well.  Throw to the TEs.  Play good defense.

We'll see how the next few weeks go.


Aww yiss.
Cosby Show Kid Power Rankings:

5) Rudy

4) Vanessa

3) Theo

2) Denise

1) Sondra


Here's five things I'm looking forward to seeing this week:

1) Stevan Ridley - Ridley was pretty fantastic last week.  I'm just worried he's going to blow out an ACL some day doing his "kick in the door" touchdown celebration.

2) Tim Wright - Major Tim Wright sightings last week... like he was actually part of the game plan.  I'm in favor of this.

3) Rob Gronkowski - Gronk is back, right?  We're all feeling pretty good about this?  Yes?  Good.

4) Chandler Jones - I'm huge on Chandler Jones.  Chandler is on his way to stardom.  Let's hope they deploy him the right way.

5) Brian Tyms - It's not like Kenbrell Thompkins was setting the world on fire, but I wasn't wild about the decision to release him.  I still liked having a young WR with some upside.  Tyms better do something.


Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?

No.

/sad trombone


Did Stevan Ridley fumble last week?

No!


Was Aaron Dobson active last week?

Yes!


Danny Amendola Reception Tracker:

Amendola now has 4 more receptions than I do for the season.


My prediction: Pats 27, Bills 17

*****

This week we have Fake Matt Patricia filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

Hello Carbon Based Lifeforms.  I hope this correspondence finds you well.

Matt's been trying to work on his diet as of late.  And Friends... I'll be honest with you... It's a challenge.

I know I need to cut back... But this time of year is tough.  I spend all day around guys like Vince Wilfork and Chris Jones.  Sure, they're great guys... But they're not big on portion control, believe it or not.

There's not a lot Salad Huts or Salad Bells in Foxboro.

It's especially tough with our schedule.  We've had late night games the last 2 weeks in a row.

Instead of just one craft beer at night... I've been drinking 3 beers and a whiskey just to settle down after the late games.  So there's that.

Plus I'm hoping to sneak in a visit to King Richard's Faire this Fall (I gotta get me one of those turkey legs).  I'll be in my Robert Baratheon costume.  Say 'hi' if you see me.

The team travels to Buffalo this weekend.  And if you're ever in Buffalo, make sure you check out Jim's SteakOut.  They've got 11 great locations throughout Western New York.

I guess the diet will have to wait until the offseason.

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?
