NFL Week 6 game thread
- Thread starter Ralphwiggum
- Start date
Collinsworth is completely over the top about Watt here, he’s seemingly gotten more and more rash over the years. He didn’t go through five guys, Cris, Geno scrambled through his protection upfield, so Watt could just turn and pursue away from the protection.
One takeaway from this week.... there are a lot of really bad offensive lines in the league right now. Patriots aren't even bottom 5.
TJ Watt not getting drafted until #30 is wild. He was sitting right there for the Browns at 29.
It is very bad and I don’t understand it. The Jets have Dline guys they grab off the street that make plays but cannot get oline without using premium draft picks. I heard at one point it was something to do with college offenses but I don’t know if that is just bullshit.
FO has the Pats O-line 29th (just ahead of Pit at 30). It's legitimately terrible.
I was surpised until I realized it's because of run blocking. I was thinking just pass blocking, they have NE as 18th in Pass Pro.
It was probably discussed last week, but had to pop in for a quick LOL Jamal Adams and his one career INT. The guy supposedly plays safety.

It will be interesting to see after this week, but yeah, basically through week 5 they were average at pass protection, pretty good at power runs. Were "stuffed" the most of any team, and 3rd worst at getting to the 2nd level blocks.
TEN had a 3rd and 8 on the first drive, and they had both Julio Jones and AJ Brown on the bench for that play. Might as well have punted on 3rd down
I know you're only down 3, but man, 3 TOs 45 seconds and you don't even try, and you're giving it back to BUF to start the 3rd. The way your defense is playing you're probably down 2 scores by the time you get it again. You have 2 top 10 WRs... throw the ball, get in FG range.
If Derrick Henry played in the 60s, he would be talked about today like the greatest football player of all time.
IDK what his final career stats will be, but Derrick Henry is the most physically idealistic running back I have ever seen. Just an unholy combination of size, strength, speed, balance, patience and toughness. He is what LeBron James was for small forwards, or Cristiano Ronaldo for left wingers; just an unimaginable combination of athletic skill that make the other world class athletes competing against them look completely overwhelmed. And he does it all in an almost eerie, robotic fashion; like The Terminator carrying a football.
seems like a bad call, would have left time for Tennessee in regulation even if they were successful.
