Three Things to Watch This Week - Super Bowl LIII

The New England Patriots play Geoff Jared Goff and the St. Louis Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday February 3rd at 6:30 PM.

The offensive line was tremendous in the AFC Championship Game.  Game balls all around for the large men up front.  What an absolute roller coaster that game was.

How many times has Tom Brady been to the Super Bowl now?


Nine times?  Nine times.

We’re so spoiled it’s not even funny.  Nine Super Bowl appearances in 18 years is insane.

I don't want to talk about legacies or historical context or any of that.  I just want them to win one more game.

Thanks Kyle


Here's the three things one thing I'll be watching for Sunday night:

1) The offensive line.  The Patriots' offensive line is the key to this game. If the offensive line keeps playing like they've played the last two games, I think they've got a strong chance. Keep Brady clean. Neutralize the Rams' defensive line. Open up giant holes for the running game.  Simple.


Did Rob Gronkowski have a catch last game?  Yes!

*****

This week we have Fake Rob Gronkowski filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

You ever see Pee Wee's Big Adventure?  Small dude in a suit loses his bike then goes on a roadtrip to get it back.

I've never related to a movie so hard in my life.

When I was a kid in Williamsville, I just want to go out there and ride my bike (and pee off the bridge into Ellicott Creek).  I was all I could think about.  I never wanted a football career.  I just kinda backed into that.

When Taam throws up that football, I pretend it's my bike and I go all out for it.

I totally screamed the first time I saw the Large Marge scene.  And that biker bar.  I'd hang out there.

Also that scene with the huge dinosaurs is great.  Other than my bike, I would totally want to ride one of those guys.

"Good for you and your father."

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...

Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 15

The New England Patriots play The Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday December 16th at 4:25 PM. Plenty of positive takeaways from last week... well, until the last play (Gronk didn’t want to get in the way of a 69 yard touchdown). Gronk shouldn't have been out there on the last play.  There's no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to chuck one 70 yards.  Harrumph. Powers Power Rankings: 1) Boothe 2) Austin 3) Stephanie 4) Vested in me 5) Bleeding  6) (Irish whiskey) Here are three things I'm feeling good about this week: 1) Josh Gordon - Gordon has been better than expected so far.  Can you imagine the numbers Gordon could have put up if he had been here his whole career (and, well, sober)?  Guh. 2) James White - James White rules. 3) Jacob Hollister - I thought this was going to be Hollister's breakout year...  So far, he has 4 catches for the season.  There's still time! Did Rob Gronkowski play last week...
