The 1 and 3 New England Patriots play Davis Mills and the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on Sunday October 10th at 1:00 PM.
Doink!
Davis Mills sounds like a mixed use luxury condo development. I'd like more information, please!
Despite my predictions of gloom and doom, the Patriots did not get completely crushed last week. That was nice. But there's no "moral victory" column in the standings.

The Patriots said goodbye to Stephon Gilmore this week and traded him to the Panthers for a late pick. I don't feel great about the move... but I get it. You probably don't want to give a 31 year-old corner a long term deal.
I can't tell what the timing of this move means. Either Bill is giving up on the season... OR... he really likes the current group of guys.
OR... He's just sick of Gilmore's act.
Could be any of those things, to be honest.
Here are three things be keeping an eye on this week:
1) The offensive line, which wasn't that good to begin with, now has 4 out of 5 (!) starters out this week. Good grief.
2) How many hits can Mac Jones take? It's been way too many so far.
3) Can they run the ball without an offensive line? It looked like they gave up on the running game last week. I'm against that.
Did J.C. Jackson have an interception last week?
No.
Did Jakobi Meyers complete a pass last week?
Yes! Two!
Cookie of the Week
Kind of a pain to track down all the ingredients, but totally worth it.
British Jam of the Week
I have no idea why Bloc Party wasn't huge here.
How good does Pat feel about this team making the playoffs this year?
We're down to a 9% chance. Not great, Readers.
My prediction: Patriots 19, Texans 14
(Maybe we'll get to 30 points some game this year!)

Thursday Morning Third Down Back is proud to present Fake Josh McDaniels.
What up, Bros and Lady Bros?
Josh has the keys to the car again this year. But unfortunately it's not the Lamborghini Murcielago Patriots offense from seasons past. The Patriots offense this season is more like a Mercury Sable with 178,000 miles, bald tires and no suspension left.
You may have questions about my play calling this year. And I get it. I totally do.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. It's the only logical explanation, of course:
Josh has an eight figure life insurance policy on Mac Jones with Josh as the sole beneficiary.
JAY MICK DEE IS TRYING TO GET MAC JONES KILLED.
RETIREMENT HERE I COME! YEE HAW!
