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.

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 - Week 3

The New England Patriots play Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday September 23rd at 8:20 PM. Gordon Power Rankings 1) Cole 2) Flash 3) Kim 4) Levitt 5) Sumner 6) (Sesame Street) 7) Lightfoot 8) Shumway 9) Emily v 10) Hayword 11) the Big Engine 12) Jump 13) Josh (Who knew there were so many Gordons!) Here's three things I'm worried about for Sunday evening: 1) The secondary - Eric Rowe isn't making me forget about Malcolm Butler any time soon.  Assuming the Lions have changed their signals by now . Stafford might be able to throw all over the place on them.  Concerns.  I have them.  2) Tom Brady - TB12 got beat up pretty good last week, didn't he?  There was no rhythm (Did I spell that right?  "Rhythm"?  That doesn't look right.) .  I'd like to see some long sustained drives. 3) Sony Michel - With Jeremy Hill out on injured reserve, the Patriots started to work first round pick Sony...

Five Things to Watch This Week.

By Patty O'Tool The Patriots play their fourth preseason game at home against the New York Giants on Thursday, September 3rd at 7:30 PM Oh man, do I hate the Giants. I still wake up thinking about how close we were to 19 and 0. I don't think I'll ever get over that. Here's five things I'll be watching for on Thursday: 1) Tom Brady. How well does he hold the clipboard on the sideline? Does he hold it with his left hand or his right hand? Will he be in uniform or street clothes? These are the big questions for #12 tonight. 2) Laurence Maroney . OK, kid. I've been apologizing for you for three years now. Show me something. 3) Joey Galloway. I have no emotional attachment to this guy. I could care less if makes the team. He looks like crap out there so far. 4) Linebackers. Bruschi's gone. We're young and fast now. But are we any good ? 5) BenJarvus Green-Ellis. This might be the last time we see him a Patriots uniform. If he gets cut, som...
