Three Things to Watch This Week - Week 8

 The first place New England Patriots host the Cleveland Browns at Gillette on Sunday October 26th at 1:00 PM.

I am entertained.

I'll admit: I was wrong. Vrabel has been a much better coach than I expected so far. He's got this team playing beyond their talent. They've been fun to watch. And... let's be honest... the upcoming schedule doesn't look too challenging at this point. My expectations have been raised.

Hooper Power Rankings:

1) Matt (he drives the boat)

2) Austin

3) Mr. (Sesame Street)

4) X

5) Tobe


Three Things I liked last week:

1) Rhamondre Stevenson. Do we trust him? Obviously not. But he was certainly better last week.

2) The offensive line. Showing signs of significant improvement. Amazing what a difference a year makes.

3) Kayshon Boutte. Are you getting enough Boutte?


Did the Patriots score 30 points last week?

Yes!

This is becoming a regular thing. I could get used to this.

My prediction: Pats 28, Browns 16

Film Pervert Corner - Not a Halloween Movie but Still a Monster Horror Adventure Movie of the Week:

Jaws

Dir. Steven Spielberg. 1975. One of my all time favorites.

*****

This week we have Fake Mayor Vaughn stopping by for a visit.


Listen... Coach... You've got these boys playing well. But you can't take your foot off the gas. Not for one second.

This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed autopsy last season.

I'm only trying to say that Foxboro is a fall town. We need fall dollars. Now, if the people can't watch quality football here, they'll be glad to watch at the beaches of Orchard Park, Miami Gardens or East Rutherford.

Now... my re-election campaign is accepting contributions if you'd like to step up. Yes, Venmo is fine.

Linfield 1890. Still available.

Just in time for Halloween.

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 ...

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 1

The first place New England Patriots play the Oakland   Los Angeles   Oakland  Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette on Sunday September 7th at 1:00 PM. Patriot first round pick tackle Will Campbell. Douglas Power Rankings: 1) Adams 2) DeMario 3) Michael  4) The Lincoln–Douglas debates 5) Illeana  After back to back 4 - 13 seasons, you are allowed to feel a little skeptical about this team. What do we, as Patriots fans, have to look forward to in 2025? Returning:  Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is somehow still here. Last year, the two wide receivers he drafted in 2024 combined for 13 catches. And one of them is no longer with the team. I'm against it. Coach Mike Vrabel. His career record as a coach is 56–48. This was seen as a significant upgrade over what we had in place. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. He's back! Again! Not returning: Coach Jerod Mayo. It was both a bad situation AND he didn't do a great job with it. That's ba...
