NFL Week 6 Thread

[Fool's Requiem]

Another week, another game involving the Broncos being steamroller. This time, the defense did it's job, but Russ and Co couldn't get anything going.

Apparently, Deshaun Watson was medically cleared two weeks ago but has not played. 230 million guaranteed, baby.

Best NFL contract ever. Truly. The prime example of why guaranteed contracts need to be a thing in the NFL.

Someone prepare the lube. The Browns are about to get fucked... hard.

I hate Cleveland, but I'm happy SF lost.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

This shit never happens. How could we not beat Pittsburgh, but we beat by far the best team of the league? We even got a couple calls go in our favor...

helps that the Niners' best two offensive players got hurt

looking forward to see the lions get creamsicle'd bad today btw

Doesn't completely explain the first half. And they have othe receivers.

I want the Lions to win, and Baker to ball out. Hoping for a shootout.

The Patriots scored a touchdown this week. That's weird.

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Well we got two TDs and then gave up a safety to close out the loss.

And losing to us of all teams...

so to recap

the 5-0 49ers lost to a Browns team playing a backup QB
the 5-0 Eagles lost to a Jets team starting Zach Wilson
the Detroit Lions are also now 5-1

not good looks for the NFC, honestly

And I Nostradamus'd my way to picking the Jets to beat the Eagles. TAKE THAT ODDS!

EDIT - I was apparently the ONLY one to pick the Jets over the Eagles.

lol the last time the Patriots were 1-5 was when I was 10 years old.

This team sucks. At least they scored a TD for the first time in 3 weeks. Brian Hoyer led the winning drive against them, too. It's almost funny until they have a late season surge and finish 6-11 to miss out on any chance of a new QB in the draft.

 

[Spiner202]

The Giants really should have won last night. Daboll had a pretty poor coaching performance. Everyone is trying to blame Tyrod for the play at the end of the first half, but Daboll should have never put him in that position. Then, on their second last drive, they threw deep bombs on 3rd and 4th down. If they were playing 4-down football, they should have had some more manageable routes. The Bills also got away with DPI on the final play of the game (though at this point, I'm sort of desensitized to game-deciding penalties because it seems to happen in half of the close games every week).

I can promise you if Bill Belichick ever had the #1 overall pick he'd take an offensive lineman over a QB because it's "the best player available."

Trade down. He would trade down.

The last time the Patriots had the #1 overall pick they took Bledsoe. I would take another Drew Bledsoe in a heartbeat.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

He would trade out, get like 6 picks from another team and put another middle of the pack team out there again.

Bledsoe led to Brady. I'd take that. I had a love/hate relationship with Bledsoe. He was Favre-like. A gun slinger without really much football IQ. Least to me.

That's what the Bears did last year. Lol.

Belichick may not survive the year, though... which is odd to think of.

 

[Jon]

I may have been the only one to picks the Jets to win... but I apparently picked all the others wrong.

Also, @Mark I think something's wrong with the pickem... I don't think the Saints are playing twice in 3 days.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

you and me both, bro

Trying to get too cute with my picks. I did well week one because I was confident that those teams were going to win.

Also, there's a pick 'em thread you can post in for this stuff.
