Thursday Morning Third Down Back

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play somebody * Colt McCoy and the Washington Football Team at FedExField** on Sunday October 6th at 1:00 PM. *Earlier in the week - Coach Jay Gruden on the ... QB plan for Sunday: "We don’t have one right now." **No really, that's the name. No space. Not a typo. A bit of a struggle last week at The Ralph. But an ugly win is still a win. Either than Buffalo defense is legit or the Patriot offense is in trouble. Or both. Patrick Power Rankings: 1) Star 2) Mahomes 3) Chung 4) Bateman 5) Division 6) Saint Here's three things I'll be looking for Sunday afternoon around 1:00 PM. 1) Tight End - If newly reinstated Benjamin Watson has anything left in the tank, this would be a good week to show it. 2) Defense (and special teams). Look for the defense to continue to dominate. Everywhere. All the time. Even other games. Let's review last week real quick. Blocked punt! 2a) Welcome back,...

The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins on Sunday September 15th at 1:00 PM at Joe Robbie Stadium Pro Player Park Pro Player Stadium Dolphins Stadium Land Shark Hard Rock Stadium. With the help of Matthew Lesko, I'm applying for a $12,000 government loan to search for the missing Pittsburgh game plan from last week. Pretty good opening statement last week. We're going to suck again someday. And it's going to hurt a lot. But, in the meantime, I'll take this for as long as it lasts. I'm not a good enough writer to delve into all the what have yous of Antonio Brown stuff. But I will say that I don't think he's worth the trouble. The guy has more baggage than Logan airport. Kevin power rankings: 1) McCallister ( Home Alone ) 2) Durant 3) Faulk 4) Garnett 5) O'Connor 6) Youkilis 7) Smith 8) Murphy 9) McHale 10) (the bird from Up ) Here's three things I lik...

The AFC #1 seed New England Patriots play Brock Osweiler Tom Savage Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans at Gillette on Saturday January 14th at 8:15 PM. This could be Vince's last game.  Shout out to the Big Man. Are you excited for this game?  I'm excited for this game. O'Brien Power Rankings 1) Miles 2) Richard 3) Conan 4) Bill 5) Chloe Here's three things I'm looking forward to watching Saturday night: 1) LeGarrette Blount - Feels like a Blount force trauma game.  ( Late editorial note: LeGarrette Blount (Illness) Misses Practice For Second Straight Day.  Yikes.  Scratch that.) 2) Offensive Line - The line had a heck of a good year.  Brady stayed clean.  The running backs had plenty of room.  Shout out to Dante Scarnecchia for coming out of retirement. 3) Dont'a Hightower - I think he's healthy again.  They've been moving him around more lately.  Watch where they have him line up before the play starts...
