Thursday Morning Third Down Back

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium on Sunday December 24th at 1:00 PM. "I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love." Winter Power Rankings: 1) Warmer 2) Soldier 3) Solstice 4) Alex 5) Olympics What a roller coaster of emotions that Pittsburgh game was.  Oh my.  It may have taken me a while to calm down after that. Here's three things I liked last week. 1) Malcolm Butler - Butler made a HUGE tackle to keep his guy in bounds on the play before  the final play last week.  That's a big part of the reason why the Steelers looked like a disorganized fire drill. 2) Duron Harmon - Nice interception!  Timely! 3) Rob Gronkowski - That whole last drive.  Whoa.  A guy that big shouldn't be able to move that well.  Also... Pittsburgh - that guy was KILLING you the whole second half. I...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday December 17th at 4:25 PM. Me avoiding spoilers this week (“I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.”) I'm hoping last week was a fluke.  Because that game was no fun to watch. No Thursday Morning Third Down Back Game Balls (TM) for anyone for Monday night's efforts.  Maybe the whole team was so excited for Last Jedi they forgot to practice last week?  Don't know.  Tough to say. Kenny Power Rankings: 1) Loggins 2) Tom 3) Baker 4) McCormick 5) Rogers Here's three things I'll be watching this Sunday afternoon: 1) Kenny Britt - Kenny Britt?  Prisint! (Also, I did not realize he was 6'3''.  I didn't know WRs were allowed to be that tall.) 2) Rob Gronkowski - Gronk back?  Gronk back.  Good.  Now don't go out there and do antything stupid again. 3) Dion Lewis - Dion did...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Jay Cutler and the Miami Dolphins at Joe Robbie Stadium Pro Player Park Pro Player Stadium Dolphin Stadium Land Shark Stadium Sun Life Stadium  Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Monday December 11th at 8:30 PM. Late night Monday Night Football, eh?  I probably won't be able to watch the game with my sons Han and Chewie. "Use your harpoons and tow cables. Go for the legs. It might be our only chance of stopping them" Lee Power Rankings: 1) Bruce 2) Christopher 3) Geddy 4) Eric 5) Fields 6) Tenacious 7) Jamie Curtis 8) -lee Sobieski 9) Massachusetts 10) Pace 11) David Roth Decent game last week.  Thursday Morning Third Down Back Game Balls (TM) go to : 1) Eric Lee (who?) for having the game of his life against his former team last week.  Interception!   Sack! 2) Dion Lewis - Dion had 92 yards on 15 carries for a gaudy 6.1 yard average.  3) Rex B...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Tyrod Taylor Nathan Peterman Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field in Orchard Park, New York on Sunday December 3rd at 1:00 PM. Western New Yorkers on the 219 to New Era Field Wise Power Rankings: 1) Penny 2) Ray 3) Deatrich Jr 4) Guys 5) Potato Chips I'll say it...  I did not particularly care for the way the Dolphins played defense last week.  Bunch of cheap shot artists. Here's three thoughts I had about last Sunday: 1) Nate Ebner - Great effort on the fake punt... and now he's done for the year.  Rat farts. 2) Trey Flowers - Probably having the best year of anyone on the defensive line. 3) Stephon Gilmore - I still think Butler is a better corner, but Gilmore has looked less awful out there as of late. My prediction: Pats 24, Bills 16 ***** This week we have Lord Humungus filling for Fake Bill Belichick. WELCOME TO THE WASTELAND OF WESTERN NEW YORK....
