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.
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 unnecessarily pissy this season. I won't stand for it.)
2) Ben Watson appears to be back for real this week.
3) Cut the kicker.
Perfect Season Watch 2019
The Miami / Washington game did not end with them both losing, so we're down to the Dolphins and Bengals on Perfect Season Watch.
The Dolphins play the Bills. The Bengals play the Jags. Both look like very losable games!
SUNDAY NIGHT UPDATE - both teams lost!
Here's Week 7 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.

We need more songs about trains*.
* may not actually be a song about trains
(still a ways to go...)
Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last week?
Yes! Four catches on four targets. Doubling his catch total for the year.

My prediction: Patriots 21, New York Jets 17

Commander Mike Metcalf, call sign Viper, special to Thursday Morning Third Down Back.
I went to the academy with Bill. I coached with him.
Sometimes I think he enjoyed the film study sessions as much as combat missions.
He followed the rules, but, they were his own set of rules, you know?
He still might get me killed someday. But yeah, dammit. Bill did it the right way.
Cocky? Sure.
One of the best ever? Absolutely. And he knows it.
That's pretty arrogant, considering the company he's in.
I like that in a head coach.
If you had to go into battle, would you want him with you?
