Week 6 NFL Games

[jmt57]

Thanks to @vuudu for kicking week 6 off with the Eagles - Giants thread. Since that one went to 170+ responses, I thought it would be better to start a new thread for the remainder of this week's games.

For starters, here are the Week 6 TV Maps, courtesy of JP Kirby at 506 Sports. CBS will focus on Pittsburgh at Cincinnati early and Jacksonville at Dallas late. The main Fox game is Carolina at Washington - though I would prefer Tampa at Atlanta or Bears-Dolphins. Week 6 concludes with SF (1-4) at GB (2-2-1) on MNF.

Interesting statistic as the countdown to Sunday's Week Six games is now under two hours to go.

5-0 teams have fizzled out in recent years

The NFL currently has two 5-0 teams. The question now becomes whether the Rams or the Chiefs will avoid the fates of three recent teams that rocketed to 5-0 starts.

It began in 2015, when the Falcons started 5-0. And 5-0 eventually became 6-7.

The following year, the Vikings started 5-0. And 5-0 eventually became 6-6.

The next year, the Chiefs started 5-0. And 5-0 eventually became 6-6.

Of those three teams, only the Chiefs rallied to salvage a playoff berth.​

Ughh gotta root for the Cowboys.

You're doing it wrong.
If the Patriots are the Pats,
then the Cowboys are the...

The 1:00 games suck all kinds of balls.

All the games this week suck except Pats-Chiefs ...somewhat intrigued about Denver-LAR though since it’s snowing in denver

 

[jmt57]

Steelers - Bengals appears to be the most intriguing early game.

I'll absolutely have to have the sound muted though, based on the announcers.

 

[Foxypats]

obviously rooting for the Bears today. Rams/Denver might be a good match-up and Steelers/Bengals. Have to go with the Bengals in that one even though they are ahead of the Pats in the standings. I cannot ever root for the Steelers !

Am actually interested in Browns / Chargers. Can't wait what idiotic decisions the Browns make today to end up in OT.

I think we truly take for granted how many incompetent NFL franchises there are.

 

[goheels22002]

Rams in the snow at altitude in Denver has the makings of an upset.

1-4 Colts and 1-4 Raiders are basically playing playoff elimination games in week 6! Ouch!

Chucky is turning into Chuckee Cheez!

Tannehill inactive, Osweiler to start for Dolphins vs Bears.

Win tonight and there’s a decent chance the Pats pick up a bit of space in the AFC East.

Benjamin has attitude issues. He never got on the same page with Cam Newton either...

 

[italian pat patriot]

Pit-Cin and Lac-Cle are my two favourite ones...

Ryan Tannehill ruled out of Bears game with injured shoulder. Osweiler will start

Source: Dolphins DE Wake has knee surgery

This game began with Chicago favored by three; it is now up to seven points.

I’m stuck in DC for another year, no CBS early game, so just the redskins at 1 and then the Ratbirds at 4.

Looks like a red zone day for me

 

[turkeyneck]

100 deg+ on the field in MIA, 30s this AM in CHI. Let's see if CHI can survive the heat.

Stuck watching the Bills vs. erzatz Pats of HOU.

 

[Foxypats]

Watching Tampa /Atlanta. Atl D is not playing well they are a big reason that the Falcons are 1-4. Ryan is a good QB and he has a lot of playmakers but their D let's them down so often
