OFFICIAL NFL 2012 week 6 thread

You have to stop the run and make Sanchez beat you. If you do that, you're in good shape because he won't beat many teams.

BAH. That should have been think. Auto correct again.

Shonn Greene though, Shonn Greene.

Alex Smith is this weeks Giant's MVP, 3 picks flat out killed 'em....

No, the Giants defense as a whole killed the Niners.

Stat wise, (time of pos, total yds, ect.) were fairly close but the Giant's D seemed to turn it up a notch when it counted, Smith just looked lost at times..

 

[Jadow]

time for the Pack to make a statement and put down the upstart Texans tonight.

They helped, but the Giants were doing well on their own. 3 points won't win many football games.

The Patriots had to wait 4 years to get their revenge on the Giants, and they also failed (last year regular season). But then they went on to play in the Super Bowl, so keep your chins up 49ers fans!

 

[Svnla]

AFC East teams are all tied up at 3-3 each.

Falcons is the only one left without a loss for now. We will wait and see with Texans later tonight.

Matt Ryan is not elite yet.

I don't see it. Maybe it is just me.

If he keeps up this year he might be.

 

[thegimp03]

Niners were out of sync today, played bad, and the Giants played really well. Not much else to be said. Now they need to regroup for a Thursday date with Seattle.

This years Patriots forgot how to close out teams, playing on the road, moving the ball well but NOT scoring, settling for FG's caught up to them in the end, that and also their godawefull secondary, our safeties get toasted or draw the 49yrd PI call every week..

 

[MetalMat]

The Texans shot themselves in the foot on that last GB drive.

 

[Svnla]

Look like we will have only 1 undefeated team (Atlanta) after tonight.

 

[IAteYourMother]

this season is weird

 

[MetalMat]

I needed a huge game from Rodgers tonight in one of my leagues and thats what I got. 320 yrds, 5 TD, no picks!

 

[zinfamous]

NFL Mercy rule: pull Rodgers now plz.

 

[MetalMat]

6 touchdowns, are you kidding me?! What the hell is up with the Texans secondary?

not a real surprise, if not for drops and that freak on the dline, sanchez did a pretty decent job against them last week.

Dal vs. Bal. Wow, it was close, went down the the last second.

Bal dodged a bullet.

That was the worst Baltimore win I can remember since I started paying attention to football. I expect the Ravens to screw up a couple of easy road games per year but nearly losing at home to Dallas? Then to make things even worse it cost them a season-ending injury to Webb and a potentially career-ending injury to Ray Lewis. The Texans are going to dismember the Ravens next week.

Injuries do suck... Just look at the packers.

Star LB (desomound Bishop) injured week 1, out for season. last night 2 more LBs injured (DJ Smith, and Nick Perry). And they have Cedric Benson out for the season along with Starks having turf toe issues (1 Running back left.)

So it happens. "Next man in" as my College school called it few years back when they got injury after injury and yet won every game.

However, sucks for Lewis. But to be fair he is in his what? 17thish season? He has been in the NFL longer than most if not all linebackers. He should have retired by now tbh.

And as a Falcons season ticket holder, that makes me so happy. Hopefully the bye week will help them work on the piss poor play they had this weekend. Matty had a bad day, but I'd say most of that is on the shoulders of the O-line that was not holding at all. Three man rushes were putting pressure on Matt Ryan almost instantly, it was sad. Also they are atrocious at opening holes for Turner to run through. It is nice to have a 4 game division lead midway through October.

The Falcons have gotten the win in very close games this year, hats off to them. However it is rather alarming that Oakland got as close as they did. I thought for sure the Falcons would blow them out.

The Jets did decent against them week 5 but nobody in their right mind would have expected the blowout last night. Aaron Rodgers made it look way too easy, 6 touchdown passes with no interceptions is insane on any defense.

I was at the Niners game, the big issue I think teams are catching on is Alex either can't, isn't comfortable or simply won't throw deep. Our passing game is 99% all under 10-15 yards or less. The field is simply almost never stretched. I know Moss is still fast, why not do more play action teams know we can run it.

The only time you see a deep pass is when #7 is in or some anomaly in the stats.

Their formula works when they don't have turn overs and grind the game out. The second the game starts getting out of hand they can't put up points quickly.

Other than not getting pressure on their QB, I thought they still did pretty good overall, you can only ask for so many stops and they kept getting asked for a stop inside their own 30yard line.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I think the Colts may end up with the #1 overall pick again. I kind of hope they get it so we can trade it off to get several high picks. The team just lacks so much talent that it may take years to rebuild otherwise.

My money would be on that "honor" going to the Browns.

Overreact much? Okay so they looked pretty horrible but you're pretty quick to say the sky is falling. Remember, they share a division with the Titans and Jaguars.

I didn't watch the game so I can't say this for sure, but it seems like the Ravens win ugly pretty often.

EDIT: Oh yeah and in the pick'em group, I somehow managed to predict every early game correctly (except Detroit-Philadelphia, which went to overtime) and every single late game incorrectly. I'll see if that holds up tonight (picked the donkeys).
