Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 8

The New England Patriots play Josh Allen Nathan Peterman Derek Anderson and the Buffalo Bills at the Ralph on Monday October 29th at 8:15 PM.


Good job, Kyle!


Hope everybody is getting their rest.  Lots of sports this week.

I'm done worrying about the defense.  Nobody plays defense anymore.  If the Patriots can make a "good" Bears defense look like that with no Gronk and somebody named Kenjon Barner getting 10 carries, defense really might not matter anymore.

If you're going to give up 30 points a week, make sure you score 40.

Mitch power rankings:

1) Pileggi

2) Moreland

3) Elizabeth  -ell

4) Taylor

5) Kupchak

6) Trubisky

7) Richmond


Here are three things I'm feeling slightly better about as of late:

1) James White - James White is (semi) quietly having a fantastic season.

2) Josh Gordon - Josh Gordon has marvelous hands.  He could be a hand model.

3) Sony Michel - How bad is he hurt?  Is it serious?  I wonder if it's serious.

     Sources: #Patriots RB Sony Michel’s knee injury is not considered serious following his MRI. His timetable isn’t clear

"Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it's SERIOUS..."

(UPDATE: He's out.)


Pat's Recipe of the Week

Chocolate-Chocolate Cookies

This is a good chocolate cookie with a satisfying salty edge (just like me!)

It's an intermediate level recipe, with a Chocolate Crumb batch to make ahead of time.



My prediction: Pats 14, Bills 108


*****
This week we have Fake Ivan Fears filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

It's me.  Running backs Coach Fears.

Halloween is on Wednesday.  Here are a few quick tips for maximizing your trick or treating reps:

  - Use a bag or a pillow case to carry your candy for increased portability / flexibility.

  - Watch out for bullies and older kids trying to steal your candy.

  - Watch out for cars / defensive linemen trying to knock you over.

  - Properly secure the ball / your candy bag in your dominant hand close to your body, then cover up with your other hand as you go to the ground.

  - When you're off the street and running for the next door, hit that hole with maximum speed and ring that doorbell with everything you've got.


I'll eat your Take 5s if you don't want them.

Thanks and have a safe productive Halloween!  No fumbles!

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 15

"Is there any of the good Scotch left?" the Rookie asked. "I wouldn't call it good  Scotch. But no. We finished that weeks ago," the Veteran responded. Outmanned and outgunned, they rode west across New York to the certain slaughter waiting for them at Orchard Park. The streets wide and flat, indifferent to their struggle. "Is the water safe to drink?" "Don't know. Try it and find out." General Mayo lacked the sense of direction his predecessor displayed. If there was dissension in the ranks, it didn't show. But there was also no lust for the battlefield. Going beyond what was required of one's duty. They just didn't have the spirit for it. His predecessor had been deposed because the vibes were off. And now he risked the same fate. "Is there anything to eat?" "There's an empty can of beans. You may lick what's left off the bottom of it if you like." The talent level of recruits was lacking, not up ...
