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, Jamie Collins. The guy is crazy athletic. I very much enjoy everyone on defense standing up and walking around.
3) The remote. The kids love hiding the TV remote. Especially the younger one. Is it in the kitchen? Under a pillow? Who knows? Could be anywhere!
4) BONUS FOURTH ITEM. Gostkowski to IR, done for the season. Unfortunately the team has elected not to take my advice to go without a kicker on the roster. They could have been pioneers! Mike Nugent is your new kicker. Meh.
Perfect Season Watch 2019
The Broncos, Bengals, Washington Football Team and Dolphins are all sitting at 0 - 4. Terrific!
HOWEVER, the Dolphins play two of those teams. They're really going to have to embrace the suck to stay on track.
The Broncos have a brutal schedule (and don't play the Dolphins). Could we have two 0 - 16 teams this year? Fingers crossed!
Here's Week 5 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.
Finest worksong - A lean, muscular rocker off of Document. That's a good album.
Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last week?
No.

My prediction: Pats 38, Washington Football Team 3

"On a Towering Defense", Howard Phillips Lovecraft, defensive scouting assistant, special to Thursday Morning Third Down Back
The thing of nightmares for opposing offensive coaches who dare go against it, one cannot imagine what it is like to game plan for the current version of the Patriot defense. It appears the slumbering giant has awoken. The stuff of nightmares has taken physical shape.
Changing shape from game to game, one cannot know how or where to attack it. Woe to those throwing a backup quarterback at the feet of the beast. The beast continues to feed.
Also, I was like... super racist when I was alive, and even I think it's time for Washington to change the name of their football team. C'mon, people. It's 2019.
