The Patriots play their ninth game of the year at Gillette Stadium against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, November 2 at 4:25 PM.
Biggest game of the year? Biggest game of the year.
The Patriots have a chance this week. I really think it comes down to how well the New England secondary plays.
The Bears looked lost last week. Are they really that bad? Whoa.
Lots of Game Balls to go around last week. Oh... Let's say... LaFell, Gronk and Brady. (Sure. Why not?)
Halloween Candy Power Rankings:
1) Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
2) Kit Kat
3) Snickers
4) M&Ms (also... peanut > plain)
5) Twix
...
11,997) Candy Corn
11,998) Charleston Chew
Here are five match-ups I'll be watching this week:
1) Peyton Manning vs. The Scoreboard Operator - The scoreboard operator in Denver was making the crowd get all rowdy while Denver had the ball last week (gasp!) and Peyton was kinda a dick about it.
2) Peyton Manning vs. The Weather - Peyton does poorly in bad weather. (INSERT SHOCKING STATISTICS HERE.)
3) Brandon LaFell vs. Aqib Talib - I'm guessing this is the match-up Denver goes with on defense. LaFell has really come on strong the last few games.
4) Julian Edelman vs. The Drops - What's up with Edelman? Why does he have the yips all the sudden? He went from being the whole offense for the first few games to now being the 3rd or 4th option.
5) Rob Gronkowski vs. Everyone - I swear there was a play last week where it took FOUR Bears defenders to bring Gronk down. I know I'm a huge homer here... But I really think Gronk is the best tight end of all time.
Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?
Nope.
Was Aaron Dobson active last week?
Nope.
Danny Amendola Reception Tracker:
Amendola now has 7 more receptions than I do for the season.
My prediction: Pats 31, Broncos 28
*****
This week we have Fake Matt Patricia filling for Fake Bill Belichick.
Hello Carbon Based Lifeforms. I hope this correspondence finds you well.
My Robert Baratheon costume was a big hit at King Richard's Faire. Nobody recognized me.
I wore the same outfit for handing out candy on Halloween. Some people thought I was Hagrid. Other people guessed Yukon Cornelius.
All fine choices. I'll have to write these down for future costumed endeavors.
But now... We've got all this leftover candy in the house. HUGE piles of it even.
It's like Cersei is trying to poison me. Very slowly...
