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 15

"Is there any of the good Scotch left?" the Rookie asked. "I wouldn't call it good  Scotch. But no. We finished that weeks ago," the Veteran responded. Outmanned and outgunned, they rode west across New York to the certain slaughter waiting for them at Orchard Park. The streets wide and flat, indifferent to their struggle. "Is the water safe to drink?" "Don't know. Try it and find out." General Mayo lacked the sense of direction his predecessor displayed. If there was dissension in the ranks, it didn't show. But there was also no lust for the battlefield. Going beyond what was required of one's duty. They just didn't have the spirit for it. His predecessor had been deposed because the vibes were off. And now he risked the same fate. "Is there anything to eat?" "There's an empty can of beans. You may lick what's left off the bottom of it if you like." The talent level of recruits was lacking, not up ...

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 1

The first place New England Patriots play the Oakland   Los Angeles   Oakland  Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette on Sunday September 7th at 1:00 PM. Patriot first round pick tackle Will Campbell. Douglas Power Rankings: 1) Adams 2) DeMario 3) Michael  4) The Lincoln–Douglas debates 5) Illeana  After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025? Returning:  Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it. Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again! Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's ba...
