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 Immaculate Hoodie, you know they did not.


2010s Jam of the Week

M83 - Midnight City


My prediction: Saints 24, Patriots 9

This week we have Pinhead sharing his thoughts about the current NFL season.

More than money... more than love... my favorite thing in all of this world... is pain.

And that's why my favorite NFL team to watch this year is the New England Patriots.

This season they started off more than a little disappointing, only to show faint signs of life in week 3, and then fall off the table completely with one of their worst losses ever in week four, expertly ratcheting up the pain to previously unknown levels.

Ah, the suffering. The sweet, sweet suffering. Hearing you beg for mercy is ecstacy.

The pain... the pain is exquisite.

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...
