Thursday Morning Third Down Back

The New England Patriots play Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay at Lambeau Field on Sunday October 2nd at 4:25 PM. For an all timer, shouldn't Rodgers have been to more than one Super Bowl by now? [Book promotion: book 5 out now  - The Lady in the Leaves . Free on your Kindle if you've got The Prime.   Otherwise just 99 cents. Cheap!] Hold on. It's about to get bumpy. It looked like Mac Jones got hurt pretty bad late last week. The Patriots are saying "day to day", but I'll be shocked if he's out less than six weeks. The slim chance of the Patriots making the playoffs this season is juuuust about closed. It's probably OK to not watch the game this week. Go spend time with your family! Or if you don't like your family that much, go spend time with somebody else's family!  You're freeeeeee! If Mac is out for a while, long time boring person Brian Hoyer will probably get the nod (But he knows the offense!) . Here are five guys I'd rather see...

The New England Patriots play Mitch Trubisky and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium ( is that right? that can't be right. ) on Sunday September 18th at 1:00 PM. Rough week at the office. Well that went about as well as I expected. Yikes. Sometimes you just run into an unstoppable juggernaut like... the Miami Dolphins. Game balls to no one. No one! Kyle Power Rankings: 1) MacLachlan 2) Broflovski 3) Dugger 4) Selina 5) Saskatchewan Here are three things that I'm hoping improve slightly in week 2: 1) Mac Jones - Is he dead? He took a couple of brutal  hits last week. Also, somebody tell him to stop throwing off his back foot. His mechanics look awful when he's under pressure. 2) Kendrick Bourne - Made it out of the doghouse and onto the field for two plays  in fourth quarter and caught a 41 yarder on one of them. 3) The offensive line - let's end this section on a positive note... can't get much worse! 90s Jam of the Week My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow My...

The New England Patriots play Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday September 11th at 1:00 PM. I like big backs and I cannot lie. Football is back! I can't recall a time I was less excited about the Patriots. This team doesn't look to be very interesting this year. I smell a 6 - 11 stinker coming on. We might have to get weird. Keep watching this space! Special recognition to the recently retired James White. My dude was amazing in Super Bowl LI. James Power Rankings: 1) Webb Space Telescope 2) White 3) Brown 4) -on Irish Whiskey 5) Rick 6) Etta 7) Bond 8) Lily 9) Caan 10) Gandolfini  Here are three things that I'm trying to get excited about this season: 1) Damien Harris - He's been consistently excellent. Do you know how many touchdowns he ran for last year? 15! Is he gone after this year? In all likelihood! 2) Rhamondre Stevenson - Hopefully ready to take that next big step and handle some of the load. And take over the lead role next y...
