Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 2

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 prediction: Patriots 9, Steelers 35

*****

This week we have Fake Matt Patricia. And why not?

"You are a second level paladin on a quest for riches and immortality. Your campaign begins in hostile territory. You have travelled far with your party. You enter a large dark cave. You cannot see the edges or the ceiling of the room. The ground is made of a soft spongy material. Atmospheric conditions are hot and moist, limiting your endurance. There is a loud hostile roar echoing off the walls. Almost deafening. Just outside the edges of your view are all kinds of unspeakable monsters. Goblins. Orcs. Jimmy Buffett Fans. You will be unable to communicate with the giants in your party that are supposed to be your protectors. Roll a 7 or better on a d20 to cast Expanding Light to see the rest of the cave clearly. Roll a 15 or better on a proficiency bonus to be able to communicate to the rest of your party solely using telepathy and hand signals. How do you proceed?" 

"Coach... It's 2nd and 17. What's the play call?"

"Hold on... Let me roll these dice."

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 3

The New England Patriots play Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday September 23rd at 8:20 PM. Gordon Power Rankings 1) Cole 2) Flash 3) Kim 4) Levitt 5) Sumner 6) (Sesame Street) 7) Lightfoot 8) Shumway 9) Emily v 10) Hayword 11) the Big Engine 12) Jump 13) Josh (Who knew there were so many Gordons!) Here's three things I'm worried about for Sunday evening: 1) The secondary - Eric Rowe isn't making me forget about Malcolm Butler any time soon.  Assuming the Lions have changed their signals by now . Stafford might be able to throw all over the place on them.  Concerns.  I have them.  2) Tom Brady - TB12 got beat up pretty good last week, didn't he?  There was no rhythm (Did I spell that right?  "Rhythm"?  That doesn't look right.) .  I'd like to see some long sustained drives. 3) Sony Michel - With Jeremy Hill out on injured reserve, the Patriots started to work first round pick Sony...

Five Things to Watch This Week.

By Patty O'Tool The Patriots play their fourth preseason game at home against the New York Giants on Thursday, September 3rd at 7:30 PM Oh man, do I hate the Giants. I still wake up thinking about how close we were to 19 and 0. I don't think I'll ever get over that. Here's five things I'll be watching for on Thursday: 1) Tom Brady. How well does he hold the clipboard on the sideline? Does he hold it with his left hand or his right hand? Will he be in uniform or street clothes? These are the big questions for #12 tonight. 2) Laurence Maroney . OK, kid. I've been apologizing for you for three years now. Show me something. 3) Joey Galloway. I have no emotional attachment to this guy. I could care less if makes the team. He looks like crap out there so far. 4) Linebackers. Bruschi's gone. We're young and fast now. But are we any good ? 5) BenJarvus Green-Ellis. This might be the last time we see him a Patriots uniform. If he gets cut, som...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

The New England Patriots play The Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday December 16th at 4:25 PM. Plenty of positive takeaways from last week... well, until the last play (Gronk didn’t want to get in the way of a 69 yard touchdown). Gronk shouldn't have been out there on the last play.  There's no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to chuck one 70 yards.  Harrumph. Powers Power Rankings: 1) Boothe 2) Austin 3) Stephanie 4) Vested in me 5) Bleeding  6) (Irish whiskey) Here are three things I'm feeling good about this week: 1) Josh Gordon - Gordon has been better than expected so far.  Can you imagine the numbers Gordon could have put up if he had been here his whole career (and, well, sober)?  Guh. 2) James White - James White rules. 3) Jacob Hollister - I thought this was going to be Hollister's breakout year...  So far, he has 4 catches for the season.  There's still time! Did Rob Gronkowski play last week...
