The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 1st at 1:00 PM.
Turkey power rankings:
1) Sandwich
2) Jive
3) Wild
4) Roast
5) Cold
6) Vulture
7) (the country)
The defense still looks like poo. Here are three guys I'm excited about watching this week:
1) James White - Please keep working him into the passing game.
2) Deatrich Wise - Whoa. Where'd that guy come from? He has been all over the place last few weeks. He's been one of the few bright spots on defensive line so far this season.
3) Tom Brady - Tom won AFC Player of the Week for weeks 2 and 3. An honor he's now received 29 times. But if he's so good, how come he never won NFC Player of the Week, huh?
Just want to let it be known that I'm available to go in at WR if necessary. Thank you.
My prediction: Pats 30, Panthers 24

This week we have Fake Matt Patricia filling for Fake Bill Belichick.
Hello Carbon Based Lifeforms. As always... Hope this correspondence finds you warm and comfortable with a variety of snacks and craft beers readily available to you.
You guys ever seen Flight of the Navigator? It's a kids movie, sure. But there's also some good hard science fiction in there at a the core (Plus Howard Hesseman - way underrated. And Veronica Cartwright from Alien.)
After a five minute montage of dogs catching frisbees which is cool but doesn't really contribute to the plot, a kid goes missing in 1978 and returns in 1986 (time passes differently as you approach the speed of light). He hasn't aged. His family is confused. They take him get checked out and find all kinds of extra brain activity going on in the kid's head.
An alien space ship shows up looking for the kid. The ship needs the information stored in the kids brain to be able to fly itself home.
Here's the part that speaks to me. That's how being a defensive coordinator feels sometimes. I wake up in the middle of the night with defensive schemes in my head... just out of reach.
I can see how I want this defense to look, I just can't quite seem to get us there just yet.
"See ya later, Navigator!"
