Three Things to Watch This Week - Super Bowl LIII

The New England Patriots play Geoff Jared Goff and the St. Louis Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday February 3rd at 6:30 PM.

The offensive line was tremendous in the AFC Championship Game.  Game balls all around for the large men up front.  What an absolute roller coaster that game was.

How many times has Tom Brady been to the Super Bowl now?


Nine times?  Nine times.

We’re so spoiled it’s not even funny.  Nine Super Bowl appearances in 18 years is insane.

I don't want to talk about legacies or historical context or any of that.  I just want them to win one more game.

Thanks Kyle


Here's the three things one thing I'll be watching for Sunday night:

1) The offensive line.  The Patriots' offensive line is the key to this game. If the offensive line keeps playing like they've played the last two games, I think they've got a strong chance. Keep Brady clean. Neutralize the Rams' defensive line. Open up giant holes for the running game.  Simple.


Did Rob Gronkowski have a catch last game?  Yes!

*****

This week we have Fake Rob Gronkowski filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

You ever see Pee Wee's Big Adventure?  Small dude in a suit loses his bike then goes on a roadtrip to get it back.

I've never related to a movie so hard in my life.

When I was a kid in Williamsville, I just want to go out there and ride my bike (and pee off the bridge into Ellicott Creek).  I was all I could think about.  I never wanted a football career.  I just kinda backed into that.

When Taam throws up that football, I pretend it's my bike and I go all out for it.

I totally screamed the first time I saw the Large Marge scene.  And that biker bar.  I'd hang out there.

Also that scene with the huge dinosaurs is great.  Other than my bike, I would totally want to ride one of those guys.

"Good for you and your father."

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 ...

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 1

The first place New England Patriots play the Oakland   Los Angeles   Oakland  Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette on Sunday September 7th at 1:00 PM. Patriot first round pick tackle Will Campbell. Douglas Power Rankings: 1) Adams 2) DeMario 3) Michael  4) The Lincoln–Douglas debates 5) Illeana  After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025? Returning:  Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it. Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again! Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's ba...
