Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 9

The New England Patriots play Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 4th at 8:20 PM.

Another night time game?  Oh boy.  I'm going to need to take a late afternoon pre-game nap after my early afternoon nap.


Our lead running back last week was...  Cordarrelle Patterson?  Is that right?


Hat tip to the 2018 World Series Champion Red Sox.  I'm still available for more World Series talk if anyone wants to continue talking about it before we put baseball away for the winter.

Rodgers Power Rankings:

1) and Hammerstein

2) Aaron

3) Bill

4) Nile

5) Paul


Here are three items to think about about this weekend as you stumble around in a candy induced brain fog:

1) Devin McCourty - McCourty was fast on that interception return.  How fast?  Really fast!

2) Tom Brady - Here's another look at that Brady block vs Lorenzo Alexander  No Tom!  Don't do it!  Life is still worth living. 

3) Trey Flowers - Flowers might be the best player on defense this year.  #98 was all over the place last week. 


Recipe of the Week

Black beans and rice

It can't all be cookies and pie, Folks.

I use chicken broth rather than vegetable broth.  I also like to throw in a chopped up pepper and some curry to this recipe.  Spicy!


My prediction: Pats 7, Packers 47

Fake Bill's Movie Corner

A little classic Spielberg for this weeks' movie corner.  Other than Sunday game film, is anything more rewatchable than old Spielberg movies?

If I understand this film correctly, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is about Richard Dreyfuss being so torn between the two hot blondes in his life that he can't make up his mind and chooses to leave Earth on an alien spaceship.

C'mon People.  We're talking about Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon in their prime here, OK?  Look, this should really be a no-brainer.

He's already got a job that requires leaving the house at all hours of the night and spending time on the road.  If ever a situation called for setting up multiple franchise families in different locations, this was it.

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?
