**OFFICIAL Week 6 Game Thread, Sponsored By Jason Garrett's Final Game

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

HOWEVER... if the game was played at Arrowhead, I think KC wins tonight by two scores.


HFA is everything with the Patriots, especially this year. Chiefs can't afford to lose any more games if they want to host the AFCCG. Patriots aren't a good road playoff team because of their bad defense.

KC has historically been one of the most home field reliant teams in football

[Will Hunting]

Brady at age 41 still playing at an elite level
Peyton Manning retiring at age 39 because he lost all of his arm strength
Eli Manning looking completely finished at age 37
the Manning brothers should have eaten less Papa Johns and focused more on conditioning

[Millennial_Messiah]

Thinking the Patriots lose at least one of the next 4 games...


at Chicago (they're pissed over today's upset loss),
at Bills (unlikely),
vs Packers (though their defense is just as bad as KC's),
at Tennessee (team that tends to get up at home for big opponents)


The Jets aren't much of a gimme anymore, either... they also play at Miami and at Pittsburgh. Miami tends to play Brady well at home. At Pittsburgh, who knows where Bell will be or if Pitt will be in the playoff race.


Unusually tough schedule for the Pats this year. They'll probably be 12-4 or possibly even worse, win the division, be the 2nd or 3rd seed.... obviously the 1st seed would pretty much guarantee their ticket into the Super Bowl again. But if they have to play on the road in the playoffs, they could very well lose. Kansas City cannot afford to lose more than 2 more games. Unfortunately they play the Rams in LA, though. And Seattle at Seattle.

correct.... and they hung tough tonight despite big time early adversity on the road. That's what I'm saying, whoever hosts the AFC will represent the AFC for the Super Bowl. Patriots haven't won a road playoff game since the early 2000s. Unlike the NFC, the first seed in the AFC almost always seems to win the conference.

so much overthinking here..

but, everything in that post is 100% accurate.


Patriots officially have a great offense and a horrible defense, more polar than pretty much any other year in the Brady era. Shootouts tend to favor the home team. But I don't see New England running the table most of the regular season like they have in past years. It's going to be tougher and the Pats will drop a couple. They'll still clear double digits for sure and win the division, no doubt.

they have an awful D, but there's enough talent to be at least bottom 8. Granted, this looks like another 2011 or 2017, but what can you do.. With that said, I fully expect them to go unbeaten for a while.

way tougher schedule than last year, and it's not because their division is markedly improved (which it isn't that much, granted the Jets look better offensively than they have in awhile) but because they still play the heart of the good NFC North, Pittsburgh away is a question mark, and Miami away tends to be a loss more often than not, especially when Miami is decent like they are this year.

Chicago away could very well be a loss next week. I think they have a very good team on both sides of the ball, and they will be very angry about blowing the lead today to an inferior team in Miami. Most of Miami's points were because of bad angles on tackling on long RAC plays, kind of a fluky and fixable error honestly.

[Mark Celibate]

at New England playing Pittsburgh anywhere being a question mark

[Blake]

Not impressed at all with Mahomes, honestly. Inaccurate, blew an easy TD earlier and now throws right into the teeth of the zone for a linebacker pick 6. Guy is an average QB and his numbers are a product of the system of a coach who specializes in dominating the first five weeks of regular seasons.

Excellent post

[Blake]

But on a serious note, I'm not sure you guys are aware but Patrick threw a pass left handed last week.

[spurraider21]

funny reading all the resident patriot fans doing nothing but talking the patriots on their way to beating an unbeaten team and winning a 3rd straight game

clipper nation level bads

The GOAT gets no help on defense.


CJ ing Beathard? Dude would be an average college quarterback.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Rodgers must be pissed... Dom Capers gets fired and it only gets worse....


B-b-b-b-but we shut out the Bills!!1! That beat the mighty Vikings!!!1!!one!!1!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Packers MUST get a TD here...

[Millennial_Messiah]

No RTP? wtf.... they call 'em against Matthews but not Rodgers. wtf.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I don't like using all 3 timeouts there if you're McCarthy.....

[Mark Celibate]

Big play coming up on offense, calling it now.... look for the white guy to give the ball to the ripped black guy

[Millennial_Messiah]

Rodgers, not Brady, has the highest 4th quarter QB rating over the past decade. Thank you Tessitore.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Graham lost 4 yards there trying to go backwards to get more YAC. Dumbass.

Adams?


Not that mixed race softy Graham, for sure.


Graham is an offensive cancer to whoever he plays for. He can catch in the end zone, that's about it these days. He's a cancer between the 10's and is the worst run blocking TE in football.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Adams, nice. No question he wasn't going to test Sherman there.

[Millennial_Messiah]

DUMBASS PENALTY... WHY DO THAT STUPID ASS
