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.

My prediction: Dolphins 34, Patriots 14

This week we have Bill O'Brien, Reluctant Dungeon Master.

Why is there so much text here? Am I supposed to memorize all this? You've all got your playbooks... er... character sheets?

OK. You're trying to move the party carrying the, uh, Dragon's Egg, down the field to penetrate your opponent's fortress defenses.

Why are you attacking directly into that line of goblins, Jones? Try to throw where the goblins aren't. Go around them. Just follow the game plan I laid out for you, OK? It's not that hard. Jeez.

What do you mean you "can't throw the egg more than 10 yards in a single turn"? What is that garbage?

"Magical items"? What the hell is that? 

Uh... what to do here? Let's say... roll a 6 or better to get this first down, er, experience points.

OK, that's enough for today. What are we even doing here? GET OUT OF MY DUNGEON. Go take a lap.

Patricia really did this with you guys every Friday night, huh?

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?
