It's hard to complain about a team that's 3 and 0... but I'm going to do it anyway. Here's three things I'm a little leery of this week:


1) The running game. Other than Burkhead, the running game has been not so good. (Yes, James White was out last week.) Sony Michel feels like he's regressing.

2) Tight ends. We used to have a pretty good tight end, if I remember correctly. The TE hasn't really been part of the offense so far this season. That one play to Ryan Izzo was delightful though. 

3) The defense. OK, even I can't complain about the defense. There were times last week where it looked like they had three extra players on the field.

4) BONUS FOURTH ITEM. Make Gostkowski inactive. Just go for 2 after every touchdown.


Perfect Season Watch 2019

The Miami Dolphins, sitting at 0 - 3, are set to run the table.

The 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns stand by with their Natural Lights on ice.

Do this year's Dolphins have what it takes? I believe in you, Dolphins! You can do it!


Here's Week 4 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.

White Tornado - A little two minute surf rock rave up off of Dead Letter Office. No lyrics. Just straight to the rockin' out.


Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last week?

Yes!

My prediction: Pats 21, Bills 17

SILENCE. LOOK AROUND YOU. WELCOME TO THE WASTELANDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK.

WE HAVE TRAVELED FAR TO BE HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY. WE ARE ABOUT TO WATCH WARRIORS ENGAGE IN A GREAT BATTLE. I HOPE YOU SLEPT WELL LAST NIGHT. IT MAY BE YOUR LAST.

I CARE NOT ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE FOOTBALL CONTEST. I AM ONLY HERE TO ENJOY THE BATTLE IN PARKING LOTS OF THE RALPH, ONE OF YOUR NATION'S GREAT CATHEDRALS. I WOULD PAY MONEY JUST TO WATCH THE TAILGAITING.

AVE IMPERATOR, MORITURI TE SALUTANT.

ALSO... IT LOOKS TO BE A LOVELY WEEKEND FOR THE MAKING OF APPLE PIES. I AM GOING TO EAT A WHOLE APPLE PIE AFTER THE GAME. AND MAYBE A NICE CUP OF COFFEE.

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 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 ...
