Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 11

The New England Patriots play Zach Wilson and the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 20th at 1:00 PM.

(Not Zach Wilson, but this picture still kills me.)

If the season ended today... that would be really weird.

BUT ALSO... the 2022 Patriots would somehow be in the playoffs.

The bad news is the schedule looks fairly unpleasant from here on out (ugh, we still have to play the Bills twice? Who thought that was a good idea?)

With the season 52.9% over, let's hand out some mid-season grades!

Offense overall: D- Sloppy and unpleasant to watch. Like me eating a piece of pie.

Offensive coaching: D- Something has to change. Soon. This doesn't really seem sustainable in its current configuration.

Offensive line: D M. Night Shyamalan thinks this line has too many obvious holes.

Quarterback: D- I liked it better when we had the best quarterback of all time for two decades instead of Three and Out Jones. Not to put it all on Mac -- the line and the coaching have been somewhere below terrible. BUT... it somehow looks much much better when Bailey Zappe is out there.

Offensive MVP: My Dinner with Rhamondre. Not a great sign in 2022 when your best offensive player is a running back. 

Defense overall: B (would have been an A- without those abominations against Chicago and Baltimore)

Defensive MVP - Matthew Judon. Dude has been nothing short of great so far this year.

The "How is he still doing that?" Award: Devin McCourty. Devin is having a fantastic season. Especially for this late in his career.

Special Teams: B Nick Folk has been very good all year. Jake Bailey has been less than he used to be (UPDATE - Jake is going IR).


Did the Patriots score 20 points last game?

Yes!


90s Jam of the Week

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn


My prediction : Pats 16, Jets 17


FUN QUIZ - Which of these CBS shows are actual shows?

  - FBI

  - NCIS

  - S.W.A.T.

  - TV-MA

  - NCIS: Fitchburg

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

"Is there any of the good Scotch left?" the Rookie asked. "I wouldn't call it good  Scotch. But no. We finished that weeks ago," the Veteran responded. Outmanned and outgunned, they rode west across New York to the certain slaughter waiting for them at Orchard Park. The streets wide and flat, indifferent to their struggle. "Is the water safe to drink?" "Don't know. Try it and find out." General Mayo lacked the sense of direction his predecessor displayed. If there was dissension in the ranks, it didn't show. But there was also no lust for the battlefield. Going beyond what was required of one's duty. They just didn't have the spirit for it. His predecessor had been deposed because the vibes were off. And now he risked the same fate. "Is there anything to eat?" "There's an empty can of beans. You may lick what's left off the bottom of it if you like." The talent level of recruits was lacking, not up ...

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 1

The first place New England Patriots play the Oakland   Los Angeles   Oakland  Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette on Sunday September 7th at 1:00 PM. Patriot first round pick tackle Will Campbell. Douglas Power Rankings: 1) Adams 2) DeMario 3) Michael  4) The Lincoln–Douglas debates 5) Illeana  After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025? Returning:  Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it. Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again! Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's ba...
