Some great match-ups on the slate for week 6, beginning on Thursday Night with the so far winless New York Giants hosted by the Chicago Bears (01:25 Fri – Sky Sports); unfortunately this doesn’t look like it’s the week the Giant’s luck will change, by the end of this one they’ll most likely be 0-6. SNF kicks off with many people’s pick for 2013 NFC Champions, the Green Bay Packers, taking on last year’s Superbowl Champions, the Baltimore Ravens (18:00 Sun – Sky Sports). Next up the undefeated New Orleans Saints travel to the New England Patriots, who themselves will want to come back strongly after a tough, low scoring loss last weekend (21:25 Sun – Sky Sports). The late slot plays host to the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys; both in NFC East, both with 3 losses, both in the hunt of a playoff place (01:30 Mon – C4). On Monday Night Football the formidable Indianapolis Colts play out on the West Coast at the San Diego Chargers (01:40 Tues – Eurosport).
NFL Week 6
Published by Will Davies on
Bears easily intercept Eli for a TD. 9 minutes 50 left in the 1st
I switch over to the FP1 pre-show and the Giants level the score. 7-7
I'm double-sporting :) #dontcrossthestreams
I've a lot of Fantasy investment in the Bears, probably one reason why I'm up and watching :)
Last thing I saw was the Giants leveling the game at 14-14. I thought that they had finally sorted themselves out but maybe not. End of the first half Bears lead 24-14
Culter is throwing all over the Giants, they just didn't have enough time after the punt to get the TD before the half.
Chicago-D is now dominating the Giants, Eli doesn't have a chance.
Eli needs 90+ yards in 5 minutes for a TD to win this thing.
Omaha-omaha
Eli throws a pick, Giants 0-6.
Bed now: See you all on Sunday.
Good first drive by the Packers ends in a 45 yard punt
Afternoon/Evening.
Probably too late for prevening but I am never sure
Hello
Looking forward to this game.
Hello. Which game are you watching?
:)
Hey Dan
-- I've currently got on the Lions@Browns, and the RedZone channel
Flacco sacked by 3 Packers
Mannn! I dropped the Packers'D.
It looked like somehow they knew the play because they came at Flacco from all angles.
Ravens forced to punt
Only team with a TD so far tonight is the Eagles
Buffalo just went in - EJ Manual on a QB-run after no pass available.
And it was scored by LeSean McCoy who is in my fantasy team
Wait, Manual is injured, that was Thad Lewis (WHO?!)
Watching Packers v Ravens. Looking forward to this game.
I am glad you said who? because I have no idea
Same game I am watching.
@SportsComedy_: Despite not playing today, Eli Manning has already thrown 3 interceptions.
:)
Terrible coverage by the Packers. Jacoby Jones standing in acres of space and catches a 30 yard pass
@NFL_ATL: McCoy and Martin fumble in back-to-back plays. But Martin recovers his own. #PHIvsTB
Uhoh McCoy owners
If he wants to stay in my team he can't be doing that
Hoping it Falcons v Bears at Wembley next year.
They named the three hme teams during the week but I can't remember who they were
Raiders, Jags and Falcons
I remember being surprised that there was a west coast team playing a home game in London
The Radiers are going to need that bye week.
Let's hope for their sake that they're on TNF the week before and MNF the week after their bye.
It is a huge time shift for one game
Although if they stay on their own time as much as possible and go semi-nocturnal, then they could be ok.
This match may set a record for the number of punts
You would hope they would give them an east coast game next to the London game to make it easier for them
Weird play. Mick McCarthy will be furious.
Ravens recover their own punt
GB looked like they couldn't be bothered.
It was almost like they didn't know the ball was live
Wasn't even a situation that hardly ever comes up... they see punts every week!
You would expect them to know the rules though.
One of the officials even signalled that the ball was live
Unbelievable. Ravens had 4 downs from 4 yards and never looked like scoring even from 4th and 1.
Ray Rice owners will be furious.
There is a safety coming.
I expected one to happen and I assume that was the back up plan if 4th and 1 missed
3rd and 10 from their own 1 yard line
Packers punt from their 1 yard line. Ravesn recover at their 47
I think i would prefer to be watching any other game than this.
I am just amazed that someone managed to score any points
Texans-Rams looks good as it keeps appearing on RZ
I think the punters must be due a bonus for the number of times they have had to go on the field
Rodgers to Nelson for 33 yards. That looked like real football
That sums this game up.
Green Bay miss a kickable field goal. Couldn't make this up.
Randall Cobb off with a knee/leg injury due to a head first tackle.
Ball stripped from Flacco. 2 seconds left on the play clock for Green Bay to get a score
Made the short field goal. 6-0 GB at half time
Texans are down 31-6. The team are out-Shaubing Shaub so that he doesn't have to.
Finally we get a TD and it is a cracker. Rodgers fakes the hand off and throws it most of the 64 yards to the end zone to Nelson
Now the Ravens score a TD. Someone woke this game up.
GB 16 BAL 10
This game might be coming to life. Jacoby Jones with touchdown for the Ravens. Good lofted pass from Flacco.
Matt Stafford is being let down by Megatron - and yes, that is the right way round
Packers lose a TD on 4th and long and let Flacco find Dallas Clark wide open in the middle of the field
Green Bay take the win 19-17
Peyton Manning needed over 2 minutes of the game to throw his first TD of the night
Time to switch over to radio coverage, it's Cards@9ers.
Larry Fitz, 75 yard TD catch. Cards lead 7-6.
Back from lying in a bath for 30 minutes.
Saints 7 Pats 10. I need Brees to do better.
Aqib Talib is the best name in the NFL.
Best name in American sport is still Coco Crisp
.
He also has amazing hair
I need Brees to get me fantasy points. Saints getting beat was not in my plan
Has anyone just seen that Seahawks play! Wow.
No
Going for a field goal, they mess the kick up and concede a td!
OMG. That should have been in the Packers-Ravens game
Its worse than butt-fumble.
Just saw Peyton throw an interception for a TD on Red Zone while trying to catch the Seahaws play
probs not gonna be awake for the c4 game. what's on sky at the moment?
New Orleans Saints 7 New England Patriots 17
ahh, go on then. i'll start it up.
Patriots v Saints on sky. Also the jags are going to win.
one flash update and one silverlight update complete and i have pictures.
You arrive just in time for the last 3 minutes of the first half
heh. sounds about right!
i'd forgotten about pink for october.
It takes me by sirprise every year
I thought Brady had missed the pass but it was holding. You don't want to go giving Brady more chances
In the ari sf game, plenty of ints and a couple of long td passes. Close game.
half time round up is handy. i may have tuned in at the right point :)
Just saw the Seahawks try to make a kick from the 10 yard line and lose a touchdown. Good trick
I think I forgot to mention earlier, that on Saturday I was followed on twitter by Scarbs.
You must have said something good
ahh, if only you had a new column to tweet... ;)
Love the little shovel pass by the Bengals
must've found the collection on here. Should finish something before year's end, although it might be more of a guest post.
no worries chappie. you have waaay more important things to focus on!
How am I supposed to volunteer people if you are giving them excuses
I'm being held back because I selfishly need to use data from every race, and I've not got the full set yet ;)
That sounds like this is the ideal time for you to try a post on something entirely new
♥
Denver were the biggest favourites in NFL history going into today's game!!! Half way through the third they are leading by 2 points
TD only one point in it.
Great drive by the Saints to tie the game 17-17
This will be new :) I just need driver-data.
You could use the time before you get the data to write a different kind of new post
Looks like the Broncos have a 9 point lead. Hopefully they can build on it because hlaf my fantasy team comes from the Broncos
at this point i should suggest leading by example, given that Will has filed two articles since the last safety column.
*ahem*
Denver fake punt for 35y gain
...not that i even have a column.
you have THE website
at the moment i am trying to be mrs christine and failing daily.
although alex kindly offered to help so we could fail together :)
I seem to have all my time invested elsewhere atm.
:)
I have started 2 safety columns and another article on something different. It is so different that I can't remember what it is.
They would all be done if people didn't distract me with interesting things they are doing. Pamela distracted me with her and Jeremy going to Bathurst and taking a helicopter trip during the race. Then tonight Kai distracted me with photos of her sailing ship tour of the New York harbour.
How am I meant to concentrate?
i have the same problem with sport. i used to not like any sport and got loads done.
Broncos botch the snap in the redzone - turnover
In addidition to all the other distractions I am eating ice cream.
I suppose I should volunteer Pamela to do a Bathurst post
They don't want me to score fantasy points
christine volunteered jeremy i think. but any encouragement is to be... err... encouraged.
I need DThomas to score a huge td catch, as he usually does
Well done Christine
Great defence there. I thought the Pats had a guaranteed TD
Helmet to helmet. That is not allowed
Ouch Patriot down
DannyA, he's too easily injured under normal circumstances
Pats take the lead 20-17
Moreno scores his 3rd TD
That is a healthier score. He is in my fantasy team and he is my hghest scoring player with 20 points
I have the Chiefs' D = 26.
I
In our league, Cam, Foster and Charles all joined the party. That feels unfair.
The baseball ad on Sky was for the ALCS. This is one of the world series semi finals. The world series starts on October 23rd if anyone is interested
140!!!
That is with Moreno. I still have Dez Bryant and Trent Richardson to go.
Albert Breer @AlbertBreer
Danny Amendola is out for the game with a head injury.
Tough trading paying off right there
Brees intercepted by Arrington after Brees fails to get the time out he called for
jags turnover on downs inside the broncos' redzone
Huddle Magazine @HuddleMagazine
Henne intercepted by the Broncos defense with 0:47 left & Denver will go to 6-0!
caught it!!!
omg
td for patriots with 5s on the clock.
The Patriots knocking the Saints of their perfection perch.
30 - 27 to NE.
unbelievable.
glad i tuned into that. brilliant.
