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.

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 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?
