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!

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 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
