Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 6

The New England Patriots play Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium on Sunday October 14th at 8:20 PM.

The Patriots recent history against mobile quarterbacks is not great.  So I'm more than a little concerned about Sunday night.

Nice win last week, but it's a good thing the Colts don't have receivers that can catch.  Otherwise that's a much closer game.  Luck still could be a fantastic quarterback.  You think they'd put a little talent around him.

When Dad says we're going to Five Guys.

Brock Power Rankings:

1) Samson

2) Holt

3) Peters

4) Boeser

5) -mire

...

11,997) Osweiler


Here's three things I'll be getting defensive about on Sunday:

1) Stephon Gilmore - I still can't tell if Gilmore is good or not.  But he's probably not good enough to be taking crap to other corner backs.

2) Kyle Van Noy - Is Van Noy a great linebacker?  No.  But it's fun to do the Cartman voice when he makes a play.  GOOD JOB, KYLE!

3) Josh Gordon - I can't say how this season is going to go for Mr. Gordon, and I'm hoping he's got his off the field issues under control, but the guy clearly still has some talent.  Damn if he didn't make a heck of a catch on that touchdown in the corner.


Pat's Recipe of the Week

Apple Pie

1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon?!  Double that.  The spice must flow.

Image may contain: food

Oh, how I love you, apple pie.

I make my crust with butter and shortening.  And I try to use 3 or 4 different types of apples.  Variety gives the pie depth.


My prediction: Pats 11, Chiefs 86

Fake Bill's Movie Corner

Figured out the new streaming movie service.  Took me a bit.  Things just haven't been the same since Matt left.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  I don't usually go for remakes, but the '78 version is pretty great.

I wonder if we could make pod versions of some of our players for replacement parts, knee ligaments and whatnot.

We could have had Edelman out there for last season.  I'll have to look into that.

Although... Would someone be able to make a clone of me?  Without my permission?  Assuming I ever slept.  Hmmm... I'll have to think on that.

No more flowers in the office until further notice.

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...
