Other NFL leaked emails you may have missed last week:
- Matt Patricia had some very serious concerns about the final season of Battlestar Galactica.
- Mike McCarthy DID NOT get Hamilton.
- Jason Garrett maintains a separate Instagram account for his cat.
The defense is a major weakness so far. Not what we were hoping to see. That first 10-minute drive to open the game from Houston was brutal. You never want to see your defense getting rolled by the 3rd string quarterback from a bottom 5 team. Disrespectful, to be honest.
On the other side of the ball, Mac Jones is... fine? Not great, but not terrible. It's five games in. It's tough to ask him to come in and replace the greatest quarterback ever (and whatever last year was).
Let's not compare Mac Jones to Tom Brady. That's unfair, and more than a little silly. Brady was a once in a lifetime quarterback. Mac doesn't need that pressure. Instead, let's go for something a little more realistic. Let's track him relative to, say, Andy Dalton at this point in his career. To help with this, I've created the Wins Above Dalton scale. The 2011 Bengals were 3 - 2 at this point. So we're at a -1 in the WAD Rating so far.
Here are three wide receivers I'd like to see step up and make some plays this week:
1) Jakobi Meyers - Your leading Patriots receiver through five games. BUT... he still hasn't found the end zone yet. Kinda the whole season in a nutshell.
2) Kendrick Bourne - Excellent catch percentage, but still waiting on that breakout game.
3) N'Keal Harry - Apparently still on the team!
Did J.C. Jackson have an interception last week?
No.
Did Jakobi Meyers complete a pass last week?
No.
Cookie of the Week
I could eat a whole batch of these by myself.
British Jam of the Week
Duran Duran - New Moon on Monday
How good does Pat feel about this team making the playoffs this year?
8.6%.
Still dropping. We 're down to beer ABV percentage ranges.
My prediction: Patriots 15, Cowboys 43

"Hey Coach."
"Not now..."
"Coach."
"Yeah?"
"Coach!"
"What?!"
"We should kick a field goal here."
"It's second down. And were on the 2 yard line."
"But... she's lost it."
"Lost what?"
"She's lost... that loving feeling."
"No, she hasn't. She has not lost..."
"She's lost it, man. Come on."
"I hate it when she does that."
