Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 7

The first place New England Patriots play Ben Roethlisberger  Landry Jones (who?) and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday October 23rd at 4:25 PM.

I'm looking forward to watching the game Sunday afternoon with my sons Jon and Lester.

What are we getting for takeout later?

Spice Power Rankings:

1) Coffee

2) Ginger

3) Pumpkin

4) Sugar and

5) Old

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

1) Stephen Gostkowski - Everything OK, Stephen Gostkowski?  Something you want to tell us about?  We're worried about you.

2) Dont'a Hightower - Congratulations to Dont'a Hightower for being named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.  He can be absolute monster at times.  That safety last week was huge.  Huge, I tell you.  Total game changer.

3) No third thing this week.  Go to your room and think about what you've done.


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?  Nope.  Sad trombone.

My prediction: Pats 27, Steelers 17

This year, we're going to have regular contributions from Fake Bill Belichick for your reading pleasure.

Lotta people asking me about the tablet thing this week.  Not the tablets that Lawrence Taylor used to keep in his locker before games.  The computer kind.

I use it to browser the web and check emails and what have you.

I can get the Netflix on it.  That much I can figure out.

Can I use it to read books?  I can!  Boom.  Watch this.  "Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization" right there at my finger tips.  See that?  Took 30 seconds to download the whole thing.  Amazing.

Coach Patricia even got me to play Age of Empires with him on the plane with it one time.

But I click on ONE pop up ad about hot older women in my area looking to meet up with me, and the thing just freezes up on me.  Useless.

What is that?

Not acceptable, people.

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 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 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
