2021 NFL season - Week 6 thread

Chargers/Ravens and Cards/Browns look to be the big draw this weekend, Ravens in particular seem to have a knack for being in crackers this year.

To indulge my own interest, Bears host the Packers and it's a really interesting time for both teams. Packers struggled against a poor Bengals side last week and they have a few vulnerabilities, including their o line, that the bears are nicely set up to exploit with Mack and a much improved Robert Quinn.

Meanwhile the bears took an unexpected win against the raiders (unexpected by most, I predicted we would do it), but given what's been going on there, it might not be one to read too far into. The defense has been hugely improved despite a weakened secondary on paper since Fuller left, and we have a strong run game. But our starting rb is injured. Meanwhile we have a really promising QB who has shown he can make big passes but who is still very much a work in progress and likely to make mistakes.

I know most people will predict Packers to win, and I think they will, but I won't be at all shocked if I'm wrong, think this is going to be a big indicator of the direction both teams are headed right now.

Loads of close ones again here and alot of road favourites. Could the Jags get their first win of the season? Same for the Lions? Vikings Panthers is a tough one to call with the Vikes just scraping through last week by the skin of their teeth. Picking against the Pats at home for the second time this year but that Cowboys team has looked outstanding and the Pats have been average at best. Hard to see where the change is gonna come from this week. To be fair there's alot of games in there that could be really low on quality with Chargers Ravens and Cards Browns the only real standouts for me. Here's hoping Chicago can make a game of it against Green Bay and Fields takes another step forward this week.

well fell asleep and missed the second quarter but Jesus it was 28-7 early in the second half and the eagles got a sorely needed TD and then got more. Didn’t win but didn’t get blown out.

That quick slant + timeout was crazy. Wasn't expecting it with 5 seconds left.

TD chiefs.

FG giants.

TD panthers.

It’s a first down spot coaches challenge fest in Chicago and the bears won their challenge unlike the packers who didn’t get the call.

Ravens up 14-0 against the chargers.

TD chargers.

The Packers were awarded a first down for this when Jones barely made it back to the LOS, never mind reach the first down marker. The no accountability for bad officiating will kill the league, not bad press from a player doing something dumb.

Add this to the dozen other calls like the offside not called or the OPI called on a Packer TD. This is up there for one of the worst reffing performances of the year without a doubt.
