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 - Super Bowl LX

A cold New England February morning. The drive up ATM refuses to accept my cash deposit. I park my car and walk inside to see the teller. It is nice and warm inside. The Teller gives me a nod to come forward. Me: I'd like to make a deposit. Also, why are you wearing a Jets jersey? Teller: It's a Sam Darnold Jersey. I'm not a Seahawks fan. But I don't want to see the Patriots win another one. Me: Ahhh. Well, I guess being a Jets fan is its own punishment. (We both laugh. I walk away with my head held high.) Next Customer Who Didn't Hear our Conversation: Why are you wearing a Jets jersey? ***** crock pot teriyaki wings 3 pounds chicken wings 1 large onion, chopped 1 c brown sugar 1 c soy sauce 1/4 c cooking sherry 2 t ginger 2 cloves garlic - rinse and pat dry wings - broil wings 20 minutes on broiler pan (10 minutes per side) - transfer wings to crock pot - combine ingredients, pour over wings - cover and cook 2 - 3 hours on high (or 5 - 6 hours on low) Enjoy!

Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 14

The Patriots play their thirteenth regular season game at home (!) against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday December 13th at 1:00 PM at Gillette Stadium. Oh man...  I picked a hell of a year to start a Patriots blog... I feel like I'm chronicling the Fall of the Roman Empire. The offense looks stale.  The defense went from "young and fast" to "inexperienced". And a big part of the problem is... (gulp)... Brady.  He looks too predictable out there at times.  Welker is making him better at this point. Here's what I think is going on:   - Some of the creativity is gone from the offense.  Bill O'Brien is no Josh McDaniels   - Nobody is stepping up after Welker and Moss.  Sam Aiken is nice special teamer / 4th or 5th receiver, but they could actually use a Gaffney or a Stallworth.   - Brady has got a baby on the way (UPDATE - he just had a boy).  Don't laugh.  He looked like crap last time he had a kid coming.  (To...

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...
