Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 3

The New England Patriots play Derek Carr and the Oakland Los Angeles Oakland Las Vegas Raiders at friendly Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 27th at 1:00 PM.

One time I bagged work and went to the movies on a Tuesday afternoon. I was the only one in the whole theater. It was awesome. How much would it cost to do that for a football game? It wouldn't even have to be the whole stadium. Just sell me my own section. It looks like they have plenty of capacity at these games.

There's no such thing as a good loss... But the loss to Seattle wasn't terrible. It came down to the final play for a road game I didn't think they had a chance to win. I'll take it.

Kyle Dugger (35) looks like a stud on defense so far. I was afraid we'd have to retire "GOOD JOB, KYLE" with Kyle Van Noy leaving the team, but it looks like it lives on. 

Way too much Rex Burkhead last week.

Three things I'll be finding offensive on Sunday:

1) Julian Edelman - Edelman had a huge game last week. He also took a beating. Jules hobbling around out there scares me a bit.

2) N'Keal Harry - Harry already has more receptions than all of last season. He might be a real WR. Not a Number 1 on a playoff team type guy. But still a serviceable NFL receiver.

3) Damiere Byrd - Byrd is third on the team in receptions. He's somewhat small but undeterred. His history with Cam makes him prefered. Word.


Did N'Keal Harry fumble the ball out of the endzone last week?

No!


My prediction: Patriots 31, Raiders 17

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 ...
