Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 1

 The New England Patriots play Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 12th at 4:25 PM.

In remembrance of David Patten, who seemed like a super good guy and was always fun to watch play.

I'm still somewhat shocked by the Cam Newton cut. I thought for sure we'd see him as the starter for at least the first six weeks. Rumor has it it wasn't the covid protocol violation - it was that he still hadn't learned the offense. Life comes at you fast, I guess.

I have no idea what to expect from Mr. Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones this year. It'll be fun to find out.  This is the first time the Patriots have taken a quarterback in the first round since Drew Bledsoe if I remember correctly. That was a long time ago, kids. 

I'm guessing this is a nine or ten win team. Then back in contention for a deep playoff run by 2022. And honestly, I'd be fine with that. I think they've bottomed out and are moving in the right direction again. They should be much better than last season on defense.

Here are three parts of the running game I'm excited about for this week:

1) Damien Harris - I'm expecting Harris to be the rock this year. Without the threat of a real passing game last season, defenses were stacking the box. The offense should have another dimension to it this year that will free Harris up.

2) J.J. Taylor - Taylor looked fantastic in the preseason, like an even smaller Dion Lewis. I hope he gets to see the field this year.

3) Rhamondre Stevenson - Stevenson also had an exceptional preseason. Surprising speed for a big back.

And a special Thursday Morning Third Down Back salute to former Patriot Sony Michel, who was an integral part of the 2018 Super Bowl run.


Cookie of the Week


Oatmeal butterscotch. Highly underrated cookie.


British Jam of the Week

David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes (1980)


My prediction: Patriots 21, Dolphins 17

This week we have the absolutely jacked Fake Troy Brown reporting from deep within the World Headquarters of the Patriot Empire.

(hashtag InfoTroys)

Hello Citizens of Patriot Nation.

Not naming any names, BUT... This is what I'm hearing.

I have it on good authority from my sources that a certain veteran quarterback was brought back only so that he could later be cut to make a certain rookie quarterback feel better about himself by beating out said veteran for the starting job. Just a maze of misdirects and misinformation. Your classic False Flag operation.

Next time we'll discuss why chemtrails might actually be a good thing and how the films of Quentin Tarantino can be used to explain the career of Tom Brady. 

Until then, stay vigilant. And clear your browser cache.

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 4

The 1 - 2 New England Patriots play Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Sunday September 29th at 4:05 PM. I would very much like to go back to watching fancy football. We're downgrading this team from "surprisingly frisky" to "potentially another lost season" after last week. There's just too far to go for this offense. Watch this space for additional updates Wilson Power Rankings: 1) How to with John 2) Luke 3) Thomas F. 4) Ann and Nancy 5) Marco 6) Eugene 7) Pickett 8) The Volleyball 9) Patrick 10) Owen 11) Rita Here are three things that I did not care for in week 3: 1) Poor Jacoby Brissett is getting absolutely beat up out there. I feel for the guy.  We have not put him in a good situation. 2) Punts. So many punts. 3) Aaron Rodgers. Maybe not dead yet?
