NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2025 Week 6 NFL Games: 9:30 Den-Jete; 1:00 Rams-Ravens; 4:30 SF-TB; SNF Det-KC; MNF Buf-Atl

[jmt57]

Week six has another Sunday morning international game, this time in London, with the UK being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment as the Jete are the 'home' team, hosting Denver. I'm guessing the Broncos will hold NYJ to single digits, with a strong possibility of a shutout.


The late afternoon game should be a good one, with San Francisco at Tampa Bay. The Pats-Saints game was originally scheduled for 4:30, then flexed out a couple weeks back for this game. Considering how all four of these teams played last year, it's a bit of a head-scratcher as to why the NE-NO game was ever scheduled to be broadcast late over the 49ers-Bucs to begin with.


Fox only has one game this week, and apparently it is a law that any and all neutral markets must be televised a Dallas game each and every week - no matter how bad the matchup is. Last week it was Cowboys at Jets, this week Dallas at Carolina. Apparently Fox really truly wants football fans to stop watching football. Rams at Baltimore is much more compelling, and the network assigned their top broadcast crew to that game - yet it is only being televised in Baltimore, California, and the Rams former home, St Louis. The Ravens are desparate for a win; a loss will make them 1-5, and probably kill any chances of making it to the playoffs. 3-2 Seattle at 4-1 Jacksonville is a more competitive game than Dal-Car, with better teams, both probably headed to the postseason - yet Fox elects to broadcast one of the worst games to most of the nation instead.


Sunday night is another interesting matchup: Lions at Chiefs. If KC loses they drop to 2-4. One of the Monday night games is of interest to us, with Buffalo at Atlanta. A combination of a Pats win at New Orleans and a Falcons home victory over the Bills would put your New England Patriots in first place in the AFC East. Atlanta needs a win to staay close to Tampa Bay in the NFC South. They looked awful three weeks ago in a loss at Carolina, but have also defeated Minnesota and Washington, and were leading up until the last minute in their week one loss to the Bucs.

In London, Aaron Glenn is going for the Stoic sage look (goatee beard, mysterious half-smile) but, I predict, will end up looking hapless and confused, as usual.

Is that you in the back, third from left?

 

[Bill Lee]

I was gonna Google which ******** streaming service the NFL wanted me to buy to watch this game since I had nothing going on this morning, but then I realized it was da Jete so to hell with that.

 

[sb1]

57 (yard field goals) is the new 30

So much #integrity in Goodell’s NFL

 

[TinhWoodhead]

were rooting for the j…. right?

Hell no

 

[TommyD4207]

Never

 

[Ross12]

so the J-E-T-E have had two short fields... a recovered fumble and a kickoff return both starting them in field goal range... those drives have gone for 4 total yards combined. That offense is god awful

I was told that they had an "unstoppable RPO"

Fields is unwatchable dude isn’t an NFL QB

Sauce Gardner might be one of the worst cornerbacks in football, I'm specifically watching him on this drive, he doesn't cover anyone, and just looks confused.

Their defense SHOULD be good based on their personnel, and they even hired a defensive-focused head coach in Glenn, but somehow they're putrid.

Ahhh yes I love living near Albany NY. Always right on the cutoff. Redzone it is.

Crazy how much he’s fallen off. Can’t tackle either

 

[TommyD4207]

Instantly beaten on that slant to Sutton on a 1 WR route, and Sutton didn't even really put a good move on him.

 

[reflexblue]

Wash your mouth out

 

[TommyD4207]

I mean, he could never really tackle (he did kind of try as a rookie), but like...he can't cover.

Courtland Sutton is a good receiver, but he shouldn't be getting beaten on a 1 WR route inside on a slant, when you have help, on maybe a C+ move to the inside.

 

[sb1]

Nix and Payton are a good combo.

 

[TommyD4207]

On the touchdown, Gardner signals and passes off his receiver to the safety/slot inside, and then ran with the guy anyway, leaving the receiver in behind him wide open.
