  1. Excited for this one. Saints won’t roll over and the Pats can’t afford a letdown after taking down Buffalo last week. It feels like a good opportunity for our front to get after Rattler. I expect the offense to move, and I think the question mark here is how the defense will hold down Rattler and Kellen Moore’s offense.

    I think things will go well for the Pats. It will be a big culture win if we can just go into this game and take care of a game we should take care of. That’s what we get for having expectations.

  2. I lost my best friend of 20 years this past week, he actually died Sunday morning but I didn’t find out until Monday night. I like to think that God was sending me a message with that bills game. There’s always a life worth living and you are never the underdog. Nobody from my family has reached out to see how I’m doing. This sub is really the only family I have
