Good, that’s much shorter than I had feared.

Ken usually posts a very concise version of his thoughts on a game weekly, but I hadn’t seen any in a while, and feared he had taken to drink.

Sadly, there is little to analyse. Poor execution on most plays. Poor talent level at most positions. Poor outcomes on most weekends.

I think he's also been frustrated with some of the unbalanced discussions during what's obviously been a tough season. I get it, they're 2-9 and a mess, but it's tough to try and reasonably discuss some issues without the repeated interjections on some of the topics that have been discussed ad nauseam on here. Although, at the same time, it's tough to find much to be positive about, which only exacerbates the problem.

I mean, they've lost four straight and are now heading into a stretch with plenty of uncertainty. Hopefully, they'll at least figure some things out and build some sort of positive momentum heading into the offseason.

Would you blame the man? Not me.

And how can you break down a team that puts through such a crappy performance week in and week out.....what is there to talk about except 2024 free agency and draft...

Just as the Pats are a **** version of what we once knew, I can do a ****ty version of Idle Thoughts. I'll call it "Idol Thots" maybe...and it'll be ass

Idle Snots?

I miss Patfanken's post game analysis but understand that the Pats haven't given us much to talk about. No offense, interceptions, decent defense and a loss.

“You lucky We Ass”.

Nuff said

With the way this team has been playing, hes probably heavily sedated at Fox woods or Mohegan Sun.

I find positivity in the race for the 1st pick overall.

It helps to have goals.

I have complete faith in Ken’s ability to find 10,000 words to say “ that sucked.” He’s the master of that genre.

Look at the bright side, DropKickFlutie isn’t here to blame all of this on Skippy MacDaniels.

That’s by choice, unfortunately, BTW. He’s not banned.

People shouldn’t make fun of the word count. His insight and the descriptive part of what he writes is always terrific. I get some people aren’t big on long form write-ups (an issue these days, unfortunately) but he’s always great and I miss reading about what he thinks following a game on Monday… especially right now.

He told us last year he was tiring of the Idle Thoughts posts, which he obviously put so much effort and thought composing, sometimes during the wee hours. I’m sure he knows how much it was appreciated.

I like Ken, and I have always appreciated his contribution to this site, I’m just kidding him when it comes to the length of his posts.

i would like to imagine he's on an epic heater at Foxwoods...
