Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The New England Patriots play Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 14th at 8:20 PM.

The Patriots recent history against mobile quarterbacks is not great.  So I'm more than a little concerned about Sunday night.

Nice win last week, but it's a good thing the Colts don't have receivers that can catch.  Otherwise that's a much closer game.  Luck still could be a fantastic quarterback.  You think they'd put a little talent around him.

When Dad says we're going to Five Guys.

Brock Power Rankings:

1) Samson

2) Holt

3) Peters

4) Boeser

5) -mire

...

11,997) Osweiler


Here's three things I'll be getting defensive about on Sunday:

1) Stephon Gilmore - I still can't tell if Gilmore is good or not.  But he's probably not good enough to be taking crap to other corner backs.

2) Kyle Van Noy - Is Van Noy a great linebacker?  No.  But it's fun to do the Cartman voice when he makes a play.  GOOD JOB, KYLE!

3) Josh Gordon - I can't say how this season is going to go for Mr. Gordon, and I'm hoping he's got his off the field issues under control, but the guy clearly still has some talent.  Damn if he didn't make a heck of a catch on that touchdown in the corner.


Pat's Recipe of the Week

Apple Pie

1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon?!  Double that.  The spice must flow.

Oh, how I love you, apple pie.

I make my crust with butter and shortening.  And I try to use 3 or 4 different types of apples.  Variety gives the pie depth.


My prediction: Pats 11, Chiefs 86

Fake Bill's Movie Corner

Figured out the new streaming movie service.  Took me a bit.  Things just haven't been the same since Matt left.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  I don't usually go for remakes, but the '78 version is pretty great.

I wonder if we could make pod versions of some of our players for replacement parts, knee ligaments and whatnot.

We could have had Edelman out there for last season.  I'll have to look into that.

Although... Would someone be able to make a clone of me?  Without my permission?  Assuming I ever slept.  Hmmm... I'll have to think on that.

No more flowers in the office until further notice.

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.

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 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
