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

You are under siege by a marauding band of desert pirates. They have attacked you on your home turf. Unable to commit to a long term base of operations and without a permanent home of their own, they wander the wastelands. They wear the silver and black.

They seek revenge for a long ago but not forgotten battle that took place here on an ancient January evening many Winters ago.

Your team is led by Barbarian Warrior Newton. Though new to this realm, he has the experience of nine previous campaigns, including a citation for Most Valuable Paladin.

Although not taking the field himself, the Rogue McDaniels is known for designing an offensive strategy that utilizes the greatest strengths of the party in creative and unexpected ways.

You attack on the ground, in the shadow of the Great Lighthouse.

Roll for combat. You'll need to roll a 12 or better on a D20.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The New England Patriots play Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 17th at 8:20 PM. Jabrill Peppers gave them a chance. Rough loss in week 1. Despite a horrific first quarter, they were in that game late. And they couldn't close it out. No moral victories. Bloom Power Rankings: 1) In 2) County 3) Bialystock and 4) Rachel 5) Orlando ... 11,997) Chaim Here are three things I wasn't particularly excited about last week: 1) The offense coming up small when the game was on the line. The defense gave them a chance. I'm seeing a pattern here. 2) The continued streak of being unable to win when the other team scores 25 points. 3) Giving away the ball. "We don't want it. You take it!" Did the Patriots score 20 points last week? Just barely. 2010s Jam of the Week The Joy Formidable - Whirring My prediction: Dolphins 34, Patriots 14 ***** This week we have Bill O'Brien, Reluctant Dungeon Master.

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 1

The New England Patriots play Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 10th at 4:25 PM. With the Dolphins, Bills and even the (gulp)  Jets all trending upward, and the Patriots shopping for offensive linemen at the TJ Maxx close out rack, this could be a very  long season. In five short years, we've gone from "Can we just skip ahead to the AFC Championship Game already?" to "Boy, it sure would be swell to win a playoff game again someday!" Based on what I saw in the preseason, I think we're looking at an above average defense and a below average offense. This is maybe a   6 and 11 team.  I have no idea how I'm going to get through this year. I knew the post-Brady transition was going to be hard... But I just didn't think it would be managed this poorly. As such, we'll be slowly transitioning this little weekly fan newsletter into a support group.  Just a quick reminder of what last season looked like. Gene p

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 5

The New England Patriots play Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 8th at 1:00 PM. I'd like to thank the Patriots for letting me off the hook early this year. No messing around this time. They are  definitely   not  a playoff team. I'm done talking about Mac Jones. I have nothing nice to say about him. Please don't mention his name to me ever again. "He's good! He just needs better weapons around him!" /throws ball two yards short of wide open receiver Jean-Luc power rankings: 1) Godard 2) Picard If I had to talk myself into it, here are three things I'm feeling kinda sorta OK about this year so far: 1) Some of the rookies have been mostly good, especially Christian Gonzalez.  (And now he's hurt!) 2) Probably going to see a lot more Keion White with Judon going down. 3) Demario Douglas might be good. Just hang on to the football. Did the Patriots score 20 last week? My Brothers and Sisters of Our Lady of the Immac
