Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 12

The New England Patriots play Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 28th 1:00 PM.

Masks save lives.


Dave Stewart Power Rankings:

1) Dave Stewart (Oakland Athletics)

2) Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) 


I think they tried to slip an Ivan Fears picture in the Romeo Crennel / Bill Belichick picture montage last week. That's not cool CBS!

Not a lot to get excited about in that loss. The defense looked lost. The Texans imposed their will. Remember what it was like to have a good Tight End? Or two? That must be nice. Deshaun Watson deserves to be on a better team.

I don't want this Patriots team to make the playoffs. They'll get crushed. Also, they can't tackle.

Cam seems to like throwing at people's feet (Rex Ryan approves). Somehow, he's better on long routes than short or medium passes... unless he's getting crushed in the backfield.

I’m still baffled they didn’t try harder to upgrade the TE position this off-season. Imagine if they signed a free agent or spent some draft capital? Or a QB? Or a WR? (Is that even legal?)


There were no things I liked last week.


Did the Patriots score a touchdown last week?

Yes!


My prediction: Patriots 11, Cardinals 34

This week we have Frank Booth filling for Fake Bill Belichick.

Hello, neighbor. C'mon, we're going to go for a ride.

Obviously, you can't win every game every year. Not every personnel decision is going to work out the way you hope. But... You made ten flippin' picks last year and not one of them was a wide receiver or a quarterback. NOT A SINGLE ONE. The nazi kicker didn't even make the team out of training camp. What was the point of that? Helloooo?!

And why'd you get away from Damien Harris last week?! For cripes' sake. Pound that thing up in there! Houston is near the bottom of the league in stopping the run! Was that information not available when putting the game plan together? WHAT KIND OF CLOWN SHOW IS THIS? My expectations were low, but this is ridiculous.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put in my beer order. 

DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME!

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...
