Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 4

The 1 and 2 New England Patriots play Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 3rd at 8:20 PM.

Desperately clinging to some type of relevance.


Mac Power Rankings:

1) Ronald "Mac" McDonald - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

2) Fleetwood

3) -Gyver

4) Mid-American Conference

5) Jones

6) the Moose


Here are three things I'm not liking about the season so far:

1) The offensive line is even worse than I thought.

2) The linebackers look lost and tired. I mistakenly assumed this would be a strength on this team.

3) Jonnu Smith's hands. CLANG.


Did J.C. Jackson have an interception last week?

No.


How good does Pat feel about this team making the playoffs this year?

11.3% chance, maybe? Down significantly from last week.

They're going to be 1 and 3 after this week. Maybe it'll look better later in the season, but they're not there yet.

If you asked me what it is this team is good at right now, I wouldn't know how to answer that.


Cookie of the Week

Compost Cookies

These are a sweet and salty delight. Try it without the coffee grounds, as they can be a little overwhelming.


British Jam of the Week

The Hollies - Bus Stop  


My prediction: Patriots 3, Buccaneers 67

*****

Thursday Morning Third Down Back is proud to present Eraserhead era Fake David Lynch summing up the Patriots season so far.

(Clicks.)

(Scratches.)

(Man in Shabby Suit walks over to ledge. Stands on the precipice of the NFL lower third Void of Irrelevance. Looks down.)

(Close up of a lamp. Lamp turns on and crackles loudly.)

(Some kind of fine particulate spray.)

(Bell ringing sound.)

(More clicks and scratches.)

(Head of Man in Shabby Suit falls off. Close up on head as it drops slowly into The Void.)

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 15

"Is there any of the good Scotch left?" the Rookie asked. "I wouldn't call it good  Scotch. But no. We finished that weeks ago," the Veteran responded. Outmanned and outgunned, they rode west across New York to the certain slaughter waiting for them at Orchard Park. The streets wide and flat, indifferent to their struggle. "Is the water safe to drink?" "Don't know. Try it and find out." General Mayo lacked the sense of direction his predecessor displayed. If there was dissension in the ranks, it didn't show. But there was also no lust for the battlefield. Going beyond what was required of one's duty. They just didn't have the spirit for it. His predecessor had been deposed because the vibes were off. And now he risked the same fate. "Is there anything to eat?" "There's an empty can of beans. You may lick what's left off the bottom of it if you like." The talent level of recruits was lacking, not up ...
