Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins on Sunday September 15th at 1:00 PM at Joe Robbie Stadium Pro Player Park Pro Player Stadium Dolphins Stadium Land Shark Hard Rock Stadium.




With the help of Matthew Lesko, I'm applying for a $12,000 government loan to search for the missing Pittsburgh game plan from last week.


Pretty good opening statement last week. We're going to suck again someday. And it's going to hurt a lot. But, in the meantime, I'll take this for as long as it lasts.

I'm not a good enough writer to delve into all the what have yous of Antonio Brown stuff. But I will say that I don't think he's worth the trouble. The guy has more baggage than Logan airport.

Kevin power rankings:

1) McCallister (Home Alone)

2) Durant

3) Faulk

4) Garnett

5) O'Connor

6) Youkilis

7) Smith

8) Murphy

9) McHale

10) (the bird from Up)


Here's three things I liked last week:

1) The whole WR group had a great game. Phillip Dorsett looked great. Josh Gordon had a terrific game. Edelman is still amazing. Edelman double pass?!

2) Michael Bennett dropping a “Wakanda Forever” in his introduction.

3) The defense hasn't allowed a touch down since the AFC Championship game in Kansas City


Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last game? 

Yes!


Here's Week 2 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.

Turn You Inside Out


The guitar here is awfully agressive. Menacing, even. The drums, too. I remember hearing this song as a young man and being intimitated by it.

The video seems a little dated. Stipe wouldn't lip sync, if I recal correctly.


My prediction: Pats 47, Dolphins 17

"Thoughts on a Schedule", Howard Phillips Lovecraft, defensive scouting assistant, special to Thursday Morning Third Down Back

What wisdom can be derived about an upcoming NFL season from a scattering of meaningless preseason games? What say these events about the absurdity of mankind's existence and our place in the cosmos... when rarely do the starters play more than a handful of simultaneous snaps on the field of battle? Surely an insult to the gods.

I have glimpsed the beyond, and have reviewed the upcoming schedule for the 2019 season of the Patriots of New England in great detail. And to look upon it is... sheer madness. A journey of months and months, descending into the darkest hell imaginable. An unobtainable quest, sure to end in despair.

Eh, who am I kidding? The schedule isn't that bad. Even without The Gronk, this team should be able to snooze its way to 12 - 4. Wake me from my chilly autumnal slumber when the playoffs have begun.

In college football this weekend, I like Arkham State giving three on the road to Miskatonic University.

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...
