Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

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.

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 this weekend. Maybe they can both lose!



Here's Week 6 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.

Supernatural Superserious off of Accelerate.

I love this song. That's all.


Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last week?

Yes!

Bringing his catch total for the year to... 4!

My prediction: Patriots 26, New York Giants 10

Thursday Morning Third Down Back is proud to present the Return of Julian Edelman, Private Dick.

An 8:20 game? Why are we playing on Thursday? That's going to affect my office hours.

I'm going to need a coffee and shave. And I don't think I've got time for either one.

I guess the good news is that frees me up to go to my friend Jay's end of summer party in West Egg this weekend. Maybe Jordan will be there. I should invite her out for a protein shake sometime. I'll bet she takes hers spiked. She runs real loose and fast, like James White after a catch. Still not real big on jazz. Or golf. Oh well. That might be on me.

Note to self - Is Jay a bootlegger? Might be worth investigating. (Second note to self - what the heck is a "bootlegger"? Something to do with shoes?)

Now... does anyone have an extra rib I can borrow this week? I'm not exactly 100% these days. Your old pal Jules has been taking a beating.

Time to grind.

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 ...
