Thursday Morning Third Down Back

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns at Gillette on Sunday October 27th at 4:25 PM. * Note the later start time. Just enough time for me to sneak in a Sunday afternoon Dad Nap. Do your job. My predicted score was juuuuust a bit off last week. I'm fine with that. I thought the Jets were on the way up. Nope! A couple of roster moves this week. Off the team: Josh Gordon (somewhat surprising) Michael Bennett (less surprising) On the team: Mohamed Sanu Is a second round pick for him a high price tag? Sure. But you're close this year. Load up and go for it. Baker Power Rankings: 1) Ginger 2) -'s Dozen 3) Street Irregulars 4) Anita 5) Mayfield 6) Rick 7) Joe Don 8) Kenny 9) Mark Linn- Here's three things I liked last week: 1) Another impressive week from the defense, especially the secondary. Who was this to , Sam Darnold? What do you even say to this when you'...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Sam Darnold's Spleen and the Noo Yawk Jets at MetLife Stadium on Monday October 21st at 8:15 PM. If you had to go into battle, would you want him with you? This defense is special. A+. The offense is... C- right now. Maybe that'll be good enough this year. I don't know. I'm still suggesting my "punt on 1st down, put the defense back out there" strategy. Watson Power Rankings: 1) DeShaun 2) Emma 3) Emily 4) Ben 5) Dr. John Here's three things I'm thinking about for Monday night. 1) With Josh Gordon probably out, it looks like another tough week for the wide receiver group. Jakobi Meyers might be... good? I'm not putting him in Canton (neither Ohio nor Mass) just yet, but if you throw it to him, he catches it. Functional!  Good hands! Brady needs to stop taking 4 years to trust new WRs. This team doesn't have that luxury. (To be honest, Brady has been unnecess...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Eli Manning Daniel Jones and the New York Giants at Gillette on Thursday October 10th at 8:20 PM. Ouch. Demi Power Rankings: 1) Moore 2) sexual 3) Lovato 4) -gorgon 5) glacé 6) -lle, Cecil B. We're on a short week, people. Let's keep it rolling. Here's three quick hits for Thursday. 1) Dont'a Hightower looked great out there after missing week 4. They should expand the rosters so that more players can take rest weeks. I'm only half kidding. 2) This defense against a rookie quarterback should be fun to watch. And Saquon Barkley appears to be out this week. Belly rubs for everyone!   3) Cut the kicker. Perfect Season Watch 2019 The Broncos went ahead and won a game last week, knocking themselves out of contention for the perfect 0 - 16 season. The Jets, Bengals, Washington Football Team and Dolphins are all still alive. Unfortunately Miami and Washington play each other...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play somebody * Colt McCoy and the Washington Football Team at FedExField** on Sunday October 6th at 1:00 PM. *Earlier in the week - Coach Jay Gruden on the ... QB plan for Sunday: "We don’t have one right now." **No really, that's the name. No space. Not a typo. A bit of a struggle last week at The Ralph. But an ugly win is still a win. Either than Buffalo defense is legit or the Patriot offense is in trouble. Or both. Patrick Power Rankings: 1) Star 2) Mahomes 3) Chung 4) Bateman 5) Division 6) Saint Here's three things I'll be looking for Sunday afternoon around 1:00 PM. 1) Tight End - If newly reinstated Benjamin Watson has anything left in the tank, this would be a good week to show it. 2) Defense (and special teams). Look for the defense to continue to dominate. Everywhere. All the time. Even other games. Let's review last week real quick. Blocked punt! 2a) Welcome back,...
