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 2

The New England Patriots play Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks at Gillette Stadium on Sunday September 15th at 1:00 PM. Rhamondre was running through dudes. Considering how low my expectations were for week 1 and the season in general, I'm going to classify that first game as "delightful". Can you win with a conservative, run first offense and an aggressive defense in 2024? Maybe! HBO David Show Runners Power Rankings: 1) Chase 2) Simon 3) Milch 4) Larry 5) Benioff Here are three things that were pretty good in week 1: 1) Rhamondre Stevenson - Game ball for Stevenson. I know we're in an era where the running game has been deprecated, but he's an absolute beast. 2) Jacoby Brissett - He's never going to blow anyone away, but just being "steady" and "adequate" felt like a huge improvement over what we saw last season. 3) The offensive line took a huge leap from what we saw in the pre-season. Thanks, David Andrews! Dad Rock Jam of the Week ...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The 1 - 4 New England Patriots play C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 13th at 1:00 PM. They really should stop buttering the ball between plays. That Patriots - Dolphins game last week was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Let's never speak of it again. The Patriots have announced third overall pick Drake Maye as the starting quarterback this week. I feel like it's too soon. But it's not my job on the line. I'll be nice and cozy on the couch with snacks and beverages and a dog that will pick the absolute worst time to decide that he has to go out. Drake Power Rankings: 1) 's Cakes 2) (the duck)  3) (the singer from Canada) 4) Gilded 5) Maye Here are three things that could have been better in week 5: 1) Jacoby Brissett. Thank you for your contributions. I appreciate your effort. I'm not sure how you're still standing. 2) The play calling had me scratching my head on multiple occasions. 3) The whole WR position...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 4

The 1 - 2 New England Patriots play Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Sunday September 29th at 4:05 PM. I would very much like to go back to watching fancy football. We're downgrading this team from "surprisingly frisky" to "potentially another lost season" after last week. There's just too far to go for this offense. Watch this space for additional updates Wilson Power Rankings: 1) How to with John 2) Luke 3) Thomas F. 4) Ann and Nancy 5) Marco 6) Eugene 7) Pickett 8) The Volleyball 9) Patrick 10) Owen 11) Rita Here are three things that I did not care for in week 3: 1) Poor Jacoby Brissett is getting absolutely beat up out there. I feel for the guy.  We have not put him in a good situation. 2) Punts. So many punts. 3) Aaron Rodgers. Maybe not dead yet? Dad Rock Jam of the Week Faith No More - Falling to Pieces Did the Patriots score 20 points last week?  My brothers and sisters in The Force, you know they did not. My predict...
