So, some quick takes on week 6 of the NFL.

The Thursday night game was a bore. The Patriots barely tried, and won by 21. Daniel Jones threw three picks and the Patriots D is legit.

The Panthers cruised over the Bucs in London. CMC didn’t have the yards, but he did have 2 TD’s and their defense picked off Jameis Winston 5 times. Looks like he’s back to his old tricks, and Bruce Arians may not be a QB whisperer.

Who in the hell cares about Washington-Miami? Really?

Lamar Jackson put on a god damn show against RD’s Bengals. He passed for 200 yards and ran for 150 yards. He’s so awesome. The Bengals, not so much. Zac Taylor is a bad head coach.

Teddy Bridgewater improved to 4-0 as a starter, but it was that Saints D they won for them Sunday. They totally shut down Gardner Minshew and Leonard Fournette.

The Seahawks came back, yet again, and won a game they shouldn’t have. Russell Wilson was great too. I don’t like admitting it, but he’s been incredible this season. And everyone’s preseason darling, the Browns are 2-4 and look kind of hapless. They played better offensively, but struggled on D with a lead.

RD’s other squad, the Vikings, took it to the Eagles. The Eagles are floundering and their secondary is a mess. The Vikings took advantage of this and aired it out. Stefon Diggs had a humongous game.

The Texans and Chiefs played a fun, and close game. Both Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson were great. The problem, the Chiefs cannot stop the run. The past 2 weeks the Colts and Texans have racked up the rush yards.

The Falcons are a total disaster, and their kicker missed an extra point that would have tied the game against the Arizona Cardinals. Also, the Cardinals shredded the Falcons secondary. Kyler Murray was stupendous. The Falcons have fallen so far since blowing that 25 point lead to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

The 49ers are legit. There I said it. They okay solid defense, run the ball and play action the hell out of their opponents. The Rams couldn’t do a thing. And Jared Goff’s recent performances are a cause for concern. And they need Todd Gurley back ASAP.

The Broncos are finally playing solid defense, and they shut down the Titans so bad that they benched Marcus Mariota in favor of Ryan Tannehill. Yeesh. And Phillip Lindsay has been solid as the lead back.

The funniest outcome was the Jets beating the Cowboys. The Cowboys are proving to be frauds and the Jets exposed them further. Sam Darnold torched them, and even when the Cowboys had a chance to tie it, they blew it. Jason Garrett is done, Ezekial Elliot isn’t that good and Dak Prescott has been really bad lately.

On Sunday night the Steelers pummeled the Chargers. The Steelers got 2 early turnovers, both from Devin Bush, and turned that into a quick 14 point lead. They held on, and beat the Chargers, who look lost right now.

Monday night’s Packers win felt hollow. The Lions got screwed, and Green Bay won on a walk off field goal. The Packers D stepped up when they needed, but the refs helped them. Even I can admit that. The Lions won that game.

One last note, Marcus Peters got traded to Baltimore, and that makes that secondary scary. What’s even scarier though, the Rams just traded for Jalen Ramsey, and he and Aaron Donald on the same D should help fix whatever is going on with that D right now.

That’s it for week 6. Come back next week for week 7 quick takes.
