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 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...
