Regular Season Week 6

When I moved back to NY I was very excited that I could actually watch the Giants without having the Sunday Ticket or going to a bar (that’s the only way I could watch them in NC unless they were on primetime) BUT, because the Giants are soooooo bad I was stuck watching the Bills or the Jets this week. I should have taken it as a sign. I didn’t…  More on that later. Week 5 was full of disappointment and tears especially if you are a Giants fan.   I went 7-7 on my picks last week, and I am 4-1 and 2-3 in my fantasy leagues.

Let’s recap week five.

Patriots @ Buccaneers 19-14

The Patriots played more like the Patriots of last year and less like the Patriots of this year. But the Bucs did keep it interesting.

Panthers @ Lions 27-24

Sorry Dean, whenever I pick the Lions to win the opposite is true, but I really thought they would beat the Panthers especially after how they played last week, and Cam…

After Cam was in the spotlight between games, and not in a positive way, he was back to business on the field. (Last week Cam made an offhanded comment about women covering football, saying, “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes. Like, it’s funny”. In related news Cam is no longer the face of Dannon. I wonder if he would find my little football blog “funny”… )

Bills @ Bengals 16-20

Just when you think the Bills are actually a good team they go and play Cincinnati and BLOW IT!

Chargers @ NY Giants 27-22

The Giants’ season is over. This game cost us OBJ who is out the rest of the season with a broken ankle, Harris who is out the rest of the season with a broken foot, Brandon Marshal who is out the rest of the season with a broken ankle, Shepard also left the game with an ankle injury, and Rogers-Cromartie got fed up and left the field so he’s suspended indefinitely. Thanks McA-DON’T (That’s a play on words McAdoo is the head coach of the Giants but it really pissing the season away by his judgment and play calling) …. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The Giants season is officially over.

Jets @ Browns 17-14

At least the Browns are also 0-5… wait. The Jets QB, Josh McCown, who formerly played for the Browns before they cut him, now has a win in Cleveland. The Browns did have a heck of a touchdown catch after benching Kizer but it wasn’t enough to win the game.

49ers @ Colts 23-26 OT

Mike Pence, the Vice President, had a little protest of his own during this game. Knowing that he would leave when players knelt for the National Anthem, he decided to cost the taxpayers a quarter of a million dollars for his little stunt. Maybe Americans should be more outraged about that and not the kneeling during the anthem. #blacklivesmatter #getinformed #stopignorance Stepping off my soapbox now. Before the game they did honor Peyton Manning and unveiled a trophy in his honor! Miss you Peyton.

Is it just me or do these teams always go to overtime? Ok not always but the 49ers have already had 2 overtimes this season and the Colts have had 3!

Titans @ Dolphins 10-16

The Dolphins may have won this game but their troubles are far from over. After their win a video on social media came out showing Miami’s offensive line coordinator sniffing “white powder.” He has resigned.  Oh dear.

Cardinals @ Eagles 7-34

I hate to say it but the Eagles kinda look good this season.  A part of me just died a little bit.  

Jaguars @ Steelers 30-9

The Jags are becoming legit, or the Steelers are becoming old and washed up. You decide.

Ravens @ Raiders 30-17

The Raiders are just not the same team without Derrick Carr… This was good news for the Ravens fans though.

Seahawks @ Rams 16-10

The Rams might have won this game if Jared Goff didn’t throw it to the other team so much. Interceptions defeats wins.

Packers @ Cowboys 35-31

Why did I pick the Packers to win this game? Aaron Rodgers. He gets it done.

Chiefs @ Texans 42-34

This game was pretty entertaining to watch, other than J.J. Watt leaving the game with another season ending injury. PS, so glad I drafted Deshaun Watson in the 10^th round.

Vikings @ Bears 20-17

Sam Bradford found out he still wasn’t ready to play but back up Case Keenum led the Vikings to victory. Da Bears have a glimmer of hope with rookie QB Mitch Trubisky at the helm finally.
