Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 4

 The New England Patriots play Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday October 4th at 4:25 PM Monday October 5th at 7:05 PM*.

*lots of last minute changes this week, due to the somewhat unpredictable nature of life.



Bill's Dog might have had a good draft. 13/10.

Homes Power Rankings:


1) Ma-

2) Wild 

3) -chooled

4) for sale in your area

5) Better _____ and Gardens


Here are three things I like so far this season:

1) The running game. I complained about Rex Burkhead last week, and I gotta say, the dude had the game of his life against Oakland Vegas. Even Sony Michel had a great game. However, as my buddy Pittsburgh Joel put it, the Raiders "seriously suck at run defense." So I guess that's the other side of that coin.

2) The defense. Not great. They'll be tested this week, for sure. And definitely exploitable. But... halfway decent considering the amount of turnover this off season.

3) Cam Freakin' Newton. Watching Cam has been a lot of fun. Exceeds all expectations. 

...and now he's sick. Oh farts. Looks like Brian Hoyer is getting the start tonight. "Hoyer, who is 0-10 in his past 10 starts..."

OoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooof.

Hang tight, people. This one could get ugly. Conversely, maybe tonight would be a good time to read a book or play a board game with family members.


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

No!


My prediction: Patriots 11, Chiefs 134

***  

This week we have Fake Bill's Dog Nike filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

Dateline: Nantucket.

I gotta say, life here on the island is pretty good. Even in quarantine. I have no complaints. I was already set up to work from home. And I don't wear pants anyway, so that doesn't affect me.

Bill sometimes comes out in the Summer. Sometimes he doesn't. When he does, we watch film together.

I had to cancel my trip to the Vineyard in July. But no big deal. Besides, I hear they have sharks.

Just don't ask me to pose for any more Christmas cards this year. I'm done with that nonsense.

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. Why is there so much text here?

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
