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 - Super Bowl LX

A cold New England February morning. The drive up ATM refuses to accept my cash deposit. I park my car and walk inside to see the teller. It is nice and warm inside. The Teller gives me a nod to come forward. Me: I'd like to make a deposit. Also, why are you wearing a Jets jersey? Teller: It's a Sam Darnold Jersey. I'm not a Seahawks fan. But I don't want to see the Patriots win another one. Me: Ahhh. Well, I guess being a Jets fan is its own punishment. (We both laugh. I walk away with my head held high.) Next Customer Who Didn't Hear our Conversation: Why are you wearing a Jets jersey? ***** crock pot teriyaki wings 3 pounds chicken wings 1 large onion, chopped 1 c brown sugar 1 c soy sauce 1/4 c cooking sherry 2 t ginger 2 cloves garlic - rinse and pat dry wings - broil wings 20 minutes on broiler pan (10 minutes per side) - transfer wings to crock pot - combine ingredients, pour over wings - cover and cook 2 - 3 hours on high (or 5 - 6 hours on low) Enjoy!

Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 14

The Patriots play their thirteenth regular season game at home (!) against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday December 13th at 1:00 PM at Gillette Stadium. Oh man...  I picked a hell of a year to start a Patriots blog... I feel like I'm chronicling the Fall of the Roman Empire. The offense looks stale.  The defense went from "young and fast" to "inexperienced". And a big part of the problem is... (gulp)... Brady.  He looks too predictable out there at times.  Welker is making him better at this point. Here's what I think is going on:   - Some of the creativity is gone from the offense.  Bill O'Brien is no Josh McDaniels   - Nobody is stepping up after Welker and Moss.  Sam Aiken is nice special teamer / 4th or 5th receiver, but they could actually use a Gaffney or a Stallworth.   - Brady has got a baby on the way (UPDATE - he just had a boy).  Don't laugh.  He looked like crap last time he had a kid coming.  (To...

Three Things to Watch This Week - AFC Championship Game

The New England Patriots play Bo Nix Jarrett Stidham and the Denver Broncos in the Tom Brady Memorial AFC Championship Game at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday January 25th at 3:00 PM. Big hugs! To say the Patriots have exceeded expectations so far this season is an enormous understatement. As recently as a year ago I remember wondering if they'd ever host a home playoff game again. Having said that, now that you're this close and playing the other team's backup quarterback in the AFC Championship Game, go out and get it. Also, Mike Vrabel now the longest tenured coach in the AFC East. I kid you not. Odyssey Power Rankings: 1) 2001: A Space _____ 2) The _____ (Homer) 3) Honda  _____ Here are three things I'm a little concerned about this week: 1) Drake Maye - He's been fantastic this season. A+. We couldn't have asked for more in his second year. A pleasure just to watch. Having said that, please hold on to that football, Drake Maye 2) Playing in Denver - tr...
