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?


Dad Rock Jam of the Week

Faith No More - Falling to Pieces


Did the Patriots score 20 points last week? 

My brothers and sisters in The Force, you know they did not.


My prediction: Patriots 10, 49ers 34

This week Thursday Morning Third Down Back is pleased to welcome guest columnist Number Six from The Prisoner.

If there's one thing you need to maintain, either as an ex-spy or a football team, it's a sense of identity. It can be too easy to lose your way back to where you want to be if you've forgotten who you are. If you've lost that, you've lost everything.

Your actions define you as a man. Not what society gives you as a label. Or a number. You control the narrative.

...and now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to attempt another escape from the Village with a suspiciously attractive redhead I just met this morning. She seems nice.

Be seeing you.

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 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 ...
