The Patriots play their seventh game of the year at Giants Stadium MetLife Stadium against the New York Jets on Sunday October 20th at 1:00 PM.
Here's what I wrote last week:
The Patriots are going to get killed on Sunday. It's going to be ugly.
I'm happy to say I was wrong. Oh so wrong.
Rob Ryan... How'd you feel about the way that game ended?
Unfortunately, the injuries continue to pile up. Danny Amendola, Tommy Kelly, Leon Washington and Aqib Talib all appear to be out this week (Amendola still doesn't know where he is after that hit). Jerod Mayo is done for the year. This is not a good trend.
Has Brady been bitching at his receivers too much this season? Edelman is clearly sick of his crap.
Here are five guys who will have to pick up the slack this week against the surprisingly not horrible Jets:
1) Kenbrell Thompkins - Thompkins, you get the nod this week. Game ball for my man. You may have only caught half the passes thrown at you last week, but you caught the one that counted most.
2 and 3) Dont'a Hightower and Jamie Collins - Look for both guys to step up and fill the void left by Jerod Mayo.
4) Julian Edelman - As the only member of of receiving corps with some seniority, he's been valuable this season. Even if he doesn't want to give up the high fives.
5) Austin Collie - Collie saw the field last week and was an important weapon on that last drive. Also, his name makes me think of dogs.
Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?
Yes!
Four catches!!!
My prediction: Pats 27, Jets 17
My prediction (Season): 10 - 6
*****
This week we have Fake Josh McDaniels filling for Fake Bill Belichick.
What up, Bros and Lady Bros?
Big win last week? You know it!
Those were some most excellent play calls on that final drive, no? Good times at Patriots HQ all around.
Me and Dabs (ed. note: Brian Daboll, coaching assistant) are sitting down at our usual lunch table on Monday, 'bout to get our Doritos Locos on and go over the game plan for this week. Still buzzing hard from that big win.
Then Patsy (ed. note: Matt Patricia, defensive coordinator) comes over and asks if he can eat lunch with us. Usually the Josh-ster doesn't even talk to the cats on defense, but I was feeling extra magnanimous after such a good week.
MP: Hey guys! How's it going? Great game last week, huh?
BD: No doubt.
MP: You working on some plays for next week?
JM: Mmm hmmm.
(long pause)
MP: Have you guys seen the new Star Trek movie? It's really good. I watched it last night after the game.
(blank stares from me and Dabs)
MP: It's not as good as the original movies, or even the first JJ Abrams one, but I enjoyed it.
(more blank stares)
MP: Benedict Cumberbatch is a bad guy, but for good reasons. He's such a good actor.
JM: Mmm hmmm... That's great. Listen, try not to let your defense give away a lead like that again next week. Can't be giving up touchdowns on 3 and 20s, Bro.
Then we got up and left.
SHUT IT DOWN.
Besides... Everybody knows Josh is an X-Men guy.
Until next time... take it easy, Brahs.
JAY MICK DEE OUT.

Sad howl at moon.
