Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 12

The New England Patriots play Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 28th 1:00 PM.

Masks save lives.


Dave Stewart Power Rankings:

1) Dave Stewart (Oakland Athletics)

2) Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) 


I think they tried to slip an Ivan Fears picture in the Romeo Crennel / Bill Belichick picture montage last week. That's not cool CBS!

Not a lot to get excited about in that loss. The defense looked lost. The Texans imposed their will. Remember what it was like to have a good Tight End? Or two? That must be nice. Deshaun Watson deserves to be on a better team.

I don't want this Patriots team to make the playoffs. They'll get crushed. Also, they can't tackle.

Cam seems to like throwing at people's feet (Rex Ryan approves). Somehow, he's better on long routes than short or medium passes... unless he's getting crushed in the backfield.

I’m still baffled they didn’t try harder to upgrade the TE position this off-season. Imagine if they signed a free agent or spent some draft capital? Or a QB? Or a WR? (Is that even legal?)


There were no things I liked last week.


Did the Patriots score a touchdown last week?

Yes!


My prediction: Patriots 11, Cardinals 34

This week we have Frank Booth filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

Hello, neighbor. C'mon, we're going to go for a ride.

Obviously, you can't win every game every year. Not every personnel decision is going to work out the way you hope. But... You made ten flippin' picks last year and not one of them was a wide receiver or a quarterback. NOT A SINGLE ONE. The nazi kicker didn't even make the team out of training camp. What was the point of that? Helloooo?!

And why'd you get away from Damien Harris last week?! For cripes' sake. Pound that thing up in there! Houston is near the bottom of the league in stopping the run! Was that information not available when putting the game plan together? WHAT KIND OF CLOWN SHOW IS THIS? My expectations were low, but this is ridiculous.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put in my beer order. 

DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME!

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

The New England Patriots play Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 15th at 1:00 PM. Rhamondre was running through dudes. Considering how low my expectations were for week 1 and the season in general, I'm going to classify that first game as "delightful". Can you win with a conservative, run first offense and an aggressive defense in 2024? Maybe! HBO David Show Runners Power Rankings: 1) Chase 2) Simon 3) Milch 4) Larry 5) Benioff Here are three things that were pretty good in week 1: 1) Rhamondre Stevenson - Game ball for Stevenson. I know we're in an era where the running game has been deprecated, but he's an absolute beast. 2) Jacoby Brissett - He's never going to blow anyone away, but just being "steady" and "adequate" felt like a huge improvement over what we saw last season. 3) The offensive line took a huge leap from what we saw in the pre-season. Thanks, David Andrews! Dad Rock Jam of the Week ...

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 New England Patriots play Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday September 8th at 1:00 PM. Protect him. New season. New coach. New quarterback. Going to be a whole lot of one o'clock Sunday games this season. Reserve your spot on the couch now. It's going to be rough ( I'm thinking maybe... five wins? ). Let's try to help each other get through it. As of opening day, it will have been 2044 days (!) since the Patriots last won a playoff game. I knew there was going to be a readjustment period after two decades of dominance. I just didn't expect the post-Brady era to suck as bad as it has. I let myself think there was a plan in place. I very much did not enjoy the Mac Jones Era. Was he put in a bad situation? Yes. Did he kinda suck? Also yes! ...and that's the last time I'll be talking about McCorkle. What do we know about this 2024 Patriots team? Well, we didn't really learn a whole lot from the preseason other than the offe...
