Falcon Power Rankings:

1) Millennium

2) Maltese

3) Sam Wilson

4) and the Snowman

5) Atlanta


Here's three things I'm looking forward to tonight:

1) First round pick N’Keal Harry - He's active! I like it. Show me what you got.

2) The Defense - Can the defense contain Lamar Jackson? It'll be fun to find out!

3) Cut the kicker. They did!


Perfect Season Watch 2019

HOLY CRAP THE DOLPHINS WON A GAME.

That leaves the Bengals as the only remaining team without a win.


Here's Week 9 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.

Let's jump in the wayback machine.

Tight tight tight.


Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last week?

Yes. But just one.

My prediction: Patriots 21, Ravens 17

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

Thursday night. I went out for a nice long walk around the neighborhood after dark. Sometimes I walk at night. It gives me a chance to gather my thoughts, you know? And usually... nobody bothers me.

But this week, somebody was following me. Some kid with a flashlight. Dressed like Thor. Or Chewbacca. I'm sure which.

I walked a little faster. I gave him the slip. But there were suddenly other kids. Kids in front of me. Kids behind me. Kids everywhere. With bags, wagons, baskets, pillow cases and bright orange plastic pumpkins.

What nature of pagan ritual was this? I watched and listened, like any good detective would do.

Kids would knock on doors... and get candy? Is this some kind of New England thing?

I tried knocking on a door myself, but the guy just told me to get lost. Some kid of tough lug. I wasn't looking to start something. Not worth my time.

I also observed some type of candy trading in the park. When the kids were gone, there was a pile of candy left behind that no one seemed to want.

I had found them... The Maltese Milk Balls.

Rather than save them for later, I ate them right there. All that walking had made me hungry.

Is this an every Thursday night thing? A guy could get used to this.

Time to grind.

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 ...

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 1

The first place New England Patriots play the Oakland   Los Angeles   Oakland  Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette on Sunday September 7th at 1:00 PM. Patriot first round pick tackle Will Campbell. Douglas Power Rankings: 1) Adams 2) DeMario 3) Michael  4) The Lincoln–Douglas debates 5) Illeana  After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025? Returning:  Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it. Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again! Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's ba...
