Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 1

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 year.

3) Whoever emerges as the third back. Ty Montgomery? Pierre Strong Jr.? (great football name, by the way)


90s Jam of the Week

James - Laid


My prediction: Patriots 21, Dolphins 27

This week we have Fake Morrissey giving us a 2022 Patriots season preview.


Panic on the streets of Foxboro

Panic on the streets of Wrentham

I wonder to myself

Will this team make the playoffs again?

The A gaps that you slip down

I wonder to myself

Hopes may rest on the defense. 

But Damien Harris, you're not safe here

Just run behind Trent Brown.

But there's panic on the streets of Foxboro

Mansfield, Plainville, Attleboro

I wonder to myself...

Burn down the playbook

Hang the blessed OC

Because the guy they've got calling the plays

It says nothing to me about my life

Hang the OC, hang the OC, hang the OC

Hang the OC, hang the OC, hang the OC

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
