Week 6 Wrap-up

Everything from an undefeated season for the Packers to the handshake turned brawl. Everything you could ever want to relive from Week 6! Enjoy. 

49ers v. Lions (25-19)

The Lions proved that every week can’t be a comeback week. They really let this game get away from them in the fourth, something they haven’t done all year. I was a little surprised by that, but I know they’ll bounce back. You can’t win them all, really. The most controversial thing to come out of the game was the handshake/slap down by Harbaurgh and Scwartz. Jim Harbaurgh needs to learn to be a little bit more of a professional, calming down enough to shake and exchange words like a regular human. However, regardless of what happened, Scwartz shouldn’t have gone after him like that. Both a fiery guys, but I never would have expected this from two NFL coaches. Grow up, guys.

Cowboys v. Patriots (16-20)

The Cowboys almost won this game – which didn’t surprise me all that much. Though they now have a losing record, they were one stopped Tom Brady game away from being 3-2, and beating New England. This team has made huge strides from where they were a year ago. Garrett is the right fit, and just needs them to come out on top of a few more of the close ones. Dallas may not have a stellar record, but I think they are far from done. New England just does what they do best – give Tom Brady the ball with 2:00 left.

Saints v. Buccaneers (20-26)

Firstly, the Saints were one unfortunate pick away from winning this game, really. Don’t hate on New Orleans yet – though it was a division game, it won’t affect them in the long run. They’re still in the division hunt, which we knew was going to be close from day one.  Keep the faith, New Orleans. Tampa Bay is impressive here because they came back from a huge beat down by the 49ers just a week before this. Morris has this team in the right mind-set.  I need some time to figure out why they got their butts handed to them by the 49ers then could come out and beat the Saints. SEE ALSO, Bills v. Giants. What is the deal here?

Eagles v. Redskins (20-13)

The Eagles found the Rex Grossman everyone has been looking for all season – bad Rex. And it couldn’t have come at a better time for them. Because they were finally able to win a game, they are not yet down and completely out. They need to take a spark from this and continue to push through games. I wouldn’t count stick a fork in the Eagles yet. Give them time – looks like they are on the right track to righting the ship. The Redskins are the ‘skins we know from past years. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Is John Beck really the answer here? We’ll see.

Rams v. Packers (3-24)

I’m not writing about this game because of the failing Rams. I want to explore a possibility it may be a little bit early to talk about… an undefeated season for the Packers. I’m not necessarily talking about a Super Bowl (19-0) season, but perhaps an undefeated regular season. They look absolutely unbeatable and have all the missing pieces back from injury, even those like Grant and Finnley who had to miss all of last season. I may be crazy to bring this up so early, but I feel the need to talk about it. So here I am, saying it. And if they get the chance to do it, around 14-0 or so, they won’t lay down for the Jets (or any other team) and say that an undefeated regular season ‘isn’t an accomplishment’ and that resting the starters is key. The Packers have that killer instinct for it Go get it Green Bay.
