Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 10

 The 5 - 4 New England Patriots play Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 14th at 1:00 PM.

Hold on to that ball, Rhamondre Stevenson!


I have no complaints after last week. Solid road win. Feels good to be over .500 again.

Game ball to Jamie Collins. Jamie Collins' interception was insane. (Gah! Now he's on IR.)

Subtle nod to Brandon Bolden. I'm not the world's biggest Brandon Bolden fan, but I'll begrudgingly admit he's been relatively good the last few weeks. Hopefully we'll get some production from the running backs group back this week. It looks like Damien Harris is going to be out. I don't know who is still healthy.

Baker Power Rankings:

1) Joe Don

2) Street

3) Kenny

4) Danielle Pana-

5) Mayfield


Here are three guys on the offensive line I'll be watching this week:

1) Trent Brown - Welcome back, Trent Brown. If he can stay healthy, he's a game changer.

2) David Andrews - The offensive line hasn't been great this year, but Andrews has been solid in the middle.

3)  Isaiah Wynn - Right tackle Isaiah Wynn seems to grade out fairly high. He seems somewhat inconsistent to my untrained eye.


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

Two! Returning one of them for a touchdown.

His asking price keeps going up by the week.


Cookie of the Week


Toasted oatmeal coconut walnut chocolate chip cookies.

I thought these up while I was out for a run. I spend a lot of time thinking about food while I'm running.

Take 1.5 C oatmeal and roast it on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 350. Then let that cool and grind it in a food processor. From there it's a basic oatmeal cookie recipe. Add 1/2 cup of coconut, 1/2 cup walnuts.

Duncan's Pick of the Week.

With Nick Chubb out this week, Duncan likes the Patriots in their home gray uniforms 24 - 21.

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

Hello Citizens of Patriot Nation.

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

On the issue of questionable flatulence in Foxboro -  I assure you the suspicious farts heard during my media session last week were NOT live farts. I have the people on my staff doing the research, but we have reason to believe the Fart Machine was put there by a certain coach's son.

Next time we'll discuss the fact that, while the Earth may not be flat, Florida sure is.

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

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
