Three Things to Watch This Week - AFC Divisional Playoff Game

The New England Patriots play Philip Rivers and the San Diego Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium in the AFC Divisional Playoff round on Sunday January 13th at 1:05 PM.


Who's got two index fingers and isn't going anywhere?  That guy!

Getting a first round bye nine years in a row is amazing.  Nine years in a row!  I'll be shocked if that ever happens again.

I expect a close, competitive game on Sunday. I think the deciding factor will be how much of a game the Patriot's running backs have collectively (both running the ball and catching the ball out of the backfield).


Wall Power Rankings:

1) -E

2) Mending

3) -ace Shawn

4) Wonder

5) Another Brick in the

6) John


Here are the running backs I'll be keeping a close eye on on Sunday:

1) James White - 87 receptions for James White this season.  Not bad!

2) Rex Burkhead - Burkhead has proven to be force in the running game and the passing game*.    (*when he's healthy)

3) Sony Michel - Michel finished his rookie season with 931 yards and a 4.5 yards per carry average.  Not amazing.  But also not terrible.

Bonus fourth item!

4) Cordarrelle Patterson - We'll give honorary running back status to Cordarrelle Patterson, who rushed for 228 yards this year.


Did Rob Gronkowski have a catch last game?  Yes!


My prediction: Pats 24, Chargers 23

This week we have Fake Josh McDaniels filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

What up, Bros and Lady Bros?

The Visor talked to the Green Bay Packers last week. 

"I was thankful for the opportunity to meet with Green Bay; it always gives you greater insight into another organization of how they do things. It's been very educational for me every time I've gone through it and I've appreciated every single one of them."

(dismissive wanking motion)

Translation: Aaron Rodgers looked like poo this year.  He might be done.  I'm not going near that mess.

Also, Mike McCarthy was kinda a buttnugget.  I don't want to follow that guy.

Also also, their GM is some dude named "Brian Gutekunst".  Do you know how much fun I could have had just goofing on that name every day?  I'm almost took the job just to make fun of that guy.  Endless possibilities.  It boggles the mind. 

I'm not actually even interested in any of these jobs.  I just like going on interviews and getting free lunches and getting GMs to do whatever weird stuff I can think of...

One time I told a team I needed them get in a sensory deprivation tank with me and conduct the entire interview from there.  Just for the "good energy". 

I kill me sometimes.

Until next time... take it easy, Brahs.

JAY MICK DEE OUT.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

The New England Patriots play The Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday December 16th at 4:25 PM. Plenty of positive takeaways from last week... well, until the last play (Gronk didn’t want to get in the way of a 69 yard touchdown). Gronk shouldn't have been out there on the last play.  There's no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to chuck one 70 yards.  Harrumph. Powers Power Rankings: 1) Boothe 2) Austin 3) Stephanie 4) Vested in me 5) Bleeding  6) (Irish whiskey) Here are three things I'm feeling good about this week: 1) Josh Gordon - Gordon has been better than expected so far.  Can you imagine the numbers Gordon could have put up if he had been here his whole career (and, well, sober)?  Guh. 2) James White - James White rules. 3) Jacob Hollister - I thought this was going to be Hollister's breakout year...  So far, he has 4 catches for the season.  There's still time! Did Rob Gronkowski play last week...

Five Things to Watch This Week.

By Patty O'Tool The Patriots play their fourth preseason game at home against the New York Giants on Thursday, September 3rd at 7:30 PM Oh man, do I hate the Giants. I still wake up thinking about how close we were to 19 and 0. I don't think I'll ever get over that. Here's five things I'll be watching for on Thursday: 1) Tom Brady. How well does he hold the clipboard on the sideline? Does he hold it with his left hand or his right hand? Will he be in uniform or street clothes? These are the big questions for #12 tonight. 2) Laurence Maroney . OK, kid. I've been apologizing for you for three years now. Show me something. 3) Joey Galloway. I have no emotional attachment to this guy. I could care less if makes the team. He looks like crap out there so far. 4) Linebackers. Bruschi's gone. We're young and fast now. But are we any good ? 5) BenJarvus Green-Ellis. This might be the last time we see him a Patriots uniform. If he gets cut, som...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 3

The New England Patriots play Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday September 23rd at 8:20 PM. Gordon Power Rankings 1) Cole 2) Flash 3) Kim 4) Levitt 5) Sumner 6) (Sesame Street) 7) Lightfoot 8) Shumway 9) Emily v 10) Hayword 11) the Big Engine 12) Jump 13) Josh (Who knew there were so many Gordons!) Here's three things I'm worried about for Sunday evening: 1) The secondary - Eric Rowe isn't making me forget about Malcolm Butler any time soon.  Assuming the Lions have changed their signals by now . Stafford might be able to throw all over the place on them.  Concerns.  I have them.  2) Tom Brady - TB12 got beat up pretty good last week, didn't he?  There was no rhythm (Did I spell that right?  "Rhythm"?  That doesn't look right.) .  I'd like to see some long sustained drives. 3) Sony Michel - With Jeremy Hill out on injured reserve, the Patriots started to work first round pick Sony...
