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 Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 15th at 1:00 PM. Rhamondre was running through dudes. Considering how low my expectations were for week 1 and the season in general, I'm going to classify that first game as "delightful". Can you win with a conservative, run first offense and an aggressive defense in 2024? Maybe! HBO David Show Runners Power Rankings: 1) Chase 2) Simon 3) Milch 4) Larry 5) Benioff Here are three things that were pretty good in week 1: 1) Rhamondre Stevenson - Game ball for Stevenson. I know we're in an era where the running game has been deprecated, but he's an absolute beast. 2) Jacoby Brissett - He's never going to blow anyone away, but just being "steady" and "adequate" felt like a huge improvement over what we saw last season. 3) The offensive line took a huge leap from what we saw in the pre-season. Thanks, David Andrews! Dad Rock Jam of the Week ...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The 1 - 4 New England Patriots play C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 13th at 1:00 PM. They really should stop buttering the ball between plays. That Patriots - Dolphins game last week was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Let's never speak of it again. The Patriots have announced third overall pick Drake Maye as the starting quarterback this week. I feel like it's too soon. But it's not my job on the line. I'll be nice and cozy on the couch with snacks and beverages and a dog that will pick the absolute worst time to decide that he has to go out. Drake Power Rankings: 1) 's Cakes 2) (the duck)  3) (the singer from Canada) 4) Gilded 5) Maye Here are three things that could have been better in week 5: 1) Jacoby Brissett. Thank you for your contributions. I appreciate your effort. I'm not sure how you're still standing. 2) The play calling had me scratching my head on multiple occasions. 3) The whole WR position...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 4

The 1 - 2 New England Patriots play Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Sunday September 29th at 4:05 PM. I would very much like to go back to watching fancy football. We're downgrading this team from "surprisingly frisky" to "potentially another lost season" after last week. There's just too far to go for this offense. Watch this space for additional updates Wilson Power Rankings: 1) How to with John 2) Luke 3) Thomas F. 4) Ann and Nancy 5) Marco 6) Eugene 7) Pickett 8) The Volleyball 9) Patrick 10) Owen 11) Rita Here are three things that I did not care for in week 3: 1) Poor Jacoby Brissett is getting absolutely beat up out there. I feel for the guy.  We have not put him in a good situation. 2) Punts. So many punts. 3) Aaron Rodgers. Maybe not dead yet? Dad Rock Jam of the Week Faith No More - Falling to Pieces Did the Patriots score 20 points last week?  My brothers and sisters in The Force, you know they did not. My predict...
