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 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
