Waiting For The Other Shoe

Ready or not, there will be a football game this Sunday.

Welcome to September

The initial 53-man roster for your New England Patriots is set, but not in stone. Bill Belichick reportedly said in a recent interview, that it's 85-90% set when they get down to that 53-man deadline. That means as many as 8 places on the Final 53 are still up for grabs. 

Adding to the pigskin calculus? The potential return of Demaryius Thomas as well as the pending return of Lance Kendricks and Ben Watson from suspension. 

Yikes. 

Almost There

There's just a hint of fall in the air today. 

Did I say fall? I meant football.

The Answers Are Coming Soon

It's just preseason blah, blah, blah.

Whatever. This is me not slowing my roll.

The Kids Are Alright

I'm trying to slow my roll. Trying to remember that it's early, nobody's won anything, that we haven't even started the regular season and that regular season is like a marathon where linebackers occasionally leap from the crowd and put you in the concussion protocol. 

I know. I get it. I don't care. I'm not even going to try to stop myself.

Super Bowl, baby. 

Living on the Hype Train

It's just preseason. It was just the Detroit Lions. 

Yeah, yeah, okay. I hear you. I don't care. You're not going to slow my roll.

I've Got a Good Feeling About This

They haven't even played a single preseason game, we still don't know what's going on at left tackle. Or tight end. The wide receiver position group is a pu pu platter of Julian Edelman and stories yet written of hopes and dreams and redemption. Their starting quarterback and his dad-bod just turned 42-years-old, making him literally old enough to be the father of at least three members of the current roster. 

Back-to-back Super Bowl wins?
