Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 4

The first place New England Patriots play Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills at Gillette on Sunday October 2nd at 1:00 PM.


Gettin' squirrely.

Who's going to start at quarterback for the Pats on Sunday?

This is our concern, Dude.

David Power Rankings:

1) Ortiz

2) Bowie

3) Michelangelo's

4) Larry

5) Lynch


Here's three things I'm looking forward to watching on Sunday:

1) Jimmy Garoppolo - My sources are telling me he plays this week.

2) Rob Gronkowski - He played last week, but that looked like about 10% Gronk.  I'm guessing he goes off this week.

3) LeGarrette Blount - Do I goof on Blount a bit here?  I do!  He was also the AFC Offensive Player of the Month.  So good on him.

FREE AGENT WATCH: Has Malcolm Butler, Jamie Collins or Dont'a Hightower been resigned yet?  Not yet!

Did Malcolm Mitchell have a catch last week?  Aww yiss.


My prediction: Pats 24, Bills 13


*****
And now we present The Continuing Adventures of Julian Edelman, Private Dick.

What are we doing here?

Who's playing quarterback on Sunday?

Your old pal Jules was on the case.

"Coach Belichick?  It's Jules.  FIST BUMP!  Who's under center this week?"

"Hi Julian.  Thanks for stopping by.  I'm really busy right now getting ready for Sunday.  Why don't you go see what Josh is up to?"

"Good idea  I'm on it!"

I snuck up on Coach McDaniels.

"Coach Josh!  It's Jules!  You need a QB this week?  Time to run the Squirrel Offense?  Let's do this."

"Go away."

"Bro."

"Bruh."

"Not cool, Bro.  Why won't The Josh let me run a few plays under center?"

"I'll consider it.  What's Lunchbox Patricia up to?  Go bother him.  Maybe he'll let you play DB again.  Heh heh... YOU'RE a DB, alright."

I could tell I wasn't wanted.  I moved on down to the other end of the hallway.

"Matty P.  What's up, My Man?"

"Hi Julian.  How are you today?"

"Good.  Good.  Remember when I played defensive back for a few games?  That was awesome."

"Yeah.  Good times."

"Who's our QB for Sunday?  No one will tell me what's going on!"

"Same here.  If I knew, I'd tell you.  Pull up a chair, we'll watch some tape together."

"What are you watching?  Bills?  Browns?"

"John Wick."

"Niiiiice!  I love that movie!"

Great flick.  I still don't know who's going to be quarterback this weekend though.

I miss Tom.

Time to grind.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The New England Patriots play Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 17th at 8:20 PM. Jabrill Peppers gave them a chance. Rough loss in week 1. Despite a horrific first quarter, they were in that game late. And they couldn't close it out. No moral victories. Bloom Power Rankings: 1) In 2) County 3) Bialystock and 4) Rachel 5) Orlando ... 11,997) Chaim Here are three things I wasn't particularly excited about last week: 1) The offense coming up small when the game was on the line. The defense gave them a chance. I'm seeing a pattern here. 2) The continued streak of being unable to win when the other team scores 25 points. 3) Giving away the ball. "We don't want it. You take it!" Did the Patriots score 20 points last week? Just barely. 2010s Jam of the Week The Joy Formidable - Whirring My prediction: Dolphins 34, Patriots 14 ***** This week we have Bill O'Brien, Reluctant Dungeon Master. Why is there so much text here?

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 1

The New England Patriots play Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 10th at 4:25 PM. With the Dolphins, Bills and even the (gulp)  Jets all trending upward, and the Patriots shopping for offensive linemen at the TJ Maxx close out rack, this could be a very  long season. In five short years, we've gone from "Can we just skip ahead to the AFC Championship Game already?" to "Boy, it sure would be swell to win a playoff game again someday!" Based on what I saw in the preseason, I think we're looking at an above average defense and a below average offense. This is maybe a   6 and 11 team.  I have no idea how I'm going to get through this year. I knew the post-Brady transition was going to be hard... But I just didn't think it would be managed this poorly. As such, we'll be slowly transitioning this little weekly fan newsletter into a support group.  Just a quick reminder of what last season looked like. Gene p

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 5

The New England Patriots play Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 8th at 1:00 PM. I'd like to thank the Patriots for letting me off the hook early this year. No messing around this time. They are  definitely   not  a playoff team. I'm done talking about Mac Jones. I have nothing nice to say about him. Please don't mention his name to me ever again. "He's good! He just needs better weapons around him!" /throws ball two yards short of wide open receiver Jean-Luc power rankings: 1) Godard 2) Picard If I had to talk myself into it, here are three things I'm feeling kinda sorta OK about this year so far: 1) Some of the rookies have been mostly good, especially Christian Gonzalez.  (And now he's hurt!) 2) Probably going to see a lot more Keion White with Judon going down. 3) Demario Douglas might be good. Just hang on to the football. Did the Patriots score 20 last week? My Brothers and Sisters of Our Lady of the Immac
