NFL Week 6 recap

Thursday:

CHIEFS 19, BRONCOS 8

Another ugly TNF game. The Chiefs weren't good but were also never threatened. As mortal as they seem they'd be unbeaten if Kelce and Jones had played in the opener. 

Sunday:

RAVENS 24, TITANS 16

The Ravens weren't great, but the bumbling Titans were way worse. Would appreciate a great Ravens effort next week. 

BROWNS 19, 49ERS 17

Just when I'm thinking the 49ers might flirt with an unbeaten season they go and lose a team led by PJ Tucker. Though it took a couple major injuries and a missed field goal at the end for it to happen. 

BENGALS 17, SEAHAWKS 13

Another game led by defenses. The Bengals have gotten back to .500 after early struggles. 

COMMANDERS 24, FALCONS 16

A pair of teams I have no handle on. Actually a rare home loss for the Falcons. 

DOLPHINS 42, PANTHERS 21

Carolina stunningly went up 14-0 in Miami, but all that did was just irritate the fish, who ripped off the next 35. 

JAGUARS 37, COLTS 20

Jags win their 3rd straight. The Colts probably won't get Richardson back this year. 

TEXANS 20, SAINTS 13

The Texans didn't do much on offense, but the Saints did even less. 

RAIDERS 21, PATRIOTS 17

The Raiders lost Jimmy Garoppolo again, but still held off the now 1-5 Patriots. Bill Belichick suffering is one of my few joys in this season..

LIONS 20, BUCCANEERS 6

I guess this is just how it's going to be. Every team that plays the Lions this year will play like shit.

JETS 20, EAGLES 14

The last unbeaten falls in New York. Jalen Hurts was awful and threw a terrible pick that basically lost the game. The Jets defense is very good again.

RAMS 26, CARDINALS 9

Cardinals led early but the Rams took over in the 2nd half. 

BILLS 14, GIANTS 9

The Bills remain bafflingly inconsistent, but did just enough (and got just enough ref help) to beat Tyrod Taylor and the collapsing Giants. 

Monday:

COWBOYS 20, CHARGERS 17

Back and forth kind of game. Dallas wins it with a late field goal and a pick off Justin Herbert.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
