Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 4

The New England Patriots play Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 30th at 1:00 PM.

I get losing to Jacksonville in Jacksonville on a 114 degree day.  But Detroit?  Aww man. 


RPI Graduates everywhere rejoice


Cooks Power Rankings:

1) Brandin (They miss him more than I thought they would.)

2) Too Many

3) Captain

4) Regiment

5) Country


Let's set the bar really low.  Here's three things I'd like to see for Sunday afternoon:

1) Something remotely resembling a ground game.  We are down to .75 functional running backs.

2) Anyone other than Gronk / James White catching the ball

3) The defense not giving up 11 yards per play.


Pat's Recipe of the Week

Homemade Pretzels


I love this recipe.  I make as much as possible during the non-Summer months.  I might even make these during the game so I have something positive to focus on for Sunday.

My prediction: Pats 14, Dolphins 56

*****

For Sale:

2018 Patriots Offense.  Barely used! 

Takes a while to get up to speed.  A few holes.  Automatic transmission.  Passed emissions.  Clean title.

You can fit so many wide receivers cut by other teams in this bad boy!

OK to leave outside in bad weather.  Other than Gronk, you hardly even have to cover these guys.

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...

2025 Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The last place New England Patriots play the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday September 14th at 1:00 PM. They should have kept Jakobi. Joy Power Rankings 1) Anya Taylor 2) Formidable 3) of Cooking 4) Division 5) to the World I don't know what I was expecting for the first game under the new regime, but that wasn't it. Was there anything to feel good about last week? Here's what I've got off the top of my head. 1) Kayshon Boutte had a solid six catches for 103. That's nice! 2) Free agent signing Harold Landry had two and a half sacks in his Patriots debut. 3) Maybe we'll have a top five pick again next year. Also... lots of 1:00 PM games this season. Nice early bed times for everyone. Did the Patriots score 20 points? They did not! Days since the Patriots last score 30 points in a game: 1,063 days (I kid you not.) My prediction: Pats 9, Dolphins 37 *** Thursday Morning Third Down Back is pleased to welcome back special guest columnist Pinhead to shar...

Three Things to Watch This Week - AFC Championship Game

The New England Patriots play Bo Nix Jarrett Stidham and the Denver Broncos in the Tom Brady Memorial AFC Championship Game at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday January 25th at 3:00 PM. Big hugs! To say the Patriots have exceeded expectations so far this season is an enormous understatement. As recently as a year ago I remember wondering if they'd ever host a home playoff game again. Having said that, now that you're this close and playing the other team's backup quarterback in the AFC Championship Game, go out and get it. Also, Mike Vrabel now the longest tenured coach in the AFC East. I kid you not. Odyssey Power Rankings: 1) 2001: A Space _____ 2) The _____ (Homer) 3) Honda  _____ Here are three things I'm a little concerned about this week: 1) Drake Maye - He's been fantastic this season. A+. We couldn't have asked for more in his second year. A pleasure just to watch. Having said that, please hold on to that football, Drake Maye 2) Playing in Denver - tr...
