Post subject:  2020 Week 5
Great Bears win on Thursday. Finally made a winning kick in the last minute. A rare appearance at Soldier Field by Brady.

Also, another week affected by Covid.

Titans are back though.

Bills & Titans moved to Tuesday.
NE and Denver postponed.

Here are the previews:

Panthers @ Falcons - Falcons continue to be tough-luck losers. Lot of talent on offense but defense struggles. Road teams win a lot of these NFC South games. With no McCaffrey, the Falcons have a chance. Similar year to last year, where they started 1-7 and finished 6-2.

Bengals @ Ravens - LJ bounced back last week at Washington, and should have his way at home against a rookie QB.

Jaguars @ Texans - These games also often won by the road team. Texans have gotta win one though. They are 0-4. Minshew almost won at TN (33-30), so he is capable.

Raiders @ Chiefs - Raiders coming back to earth. Chiefs should handle this one.

Cardinals @ Jets - Jets coming off mini-bye after home loss to Denver. That was the one where Flacco made a brief appearance. No Aikman here to rip on Flacco. Cardinals struggled since starting 2-0, but they should bounce back here as they have good skill players.

Eagles @ Steelers - Steelers surviving Covid and now back at it. Should handle the Eagles at home. Eagles got their token road victory last week.

Rams @ Skins - Skins are just terrible. Kyle Allen takes over for Haskins. Guess who the No. 2 QB is? Alex Smith. Nobody knows he's actually back from that gruesome leg injury. Should be interesting if Allen gets hurt. Rams should win but theyve been known to lay eggs the last couple years.

Dolphins @ 49ers - Garropolo is back. Fitzmagick is capable of winning literally anywhere. And also capable of looking mediocre.

Colts @ Browns - Browns had a big win at Dallas last week, but if u watched the game it can be deceiving. Mayfield did not have a great game (150 yards), and they used gadget plays and some opportune turnovers by Dallas to get the big lead. The reality is, the Colts are a more sound team, but their biggest weakness is actually Philip Rivers. This will be a good one. Will be a low-scoring game. Mayfield will have to win this one with his arm though.

Giants @ Cowboys - Used to be a big game, Eli vs Romo or Dak. Dallas should finally get a win here as NY is terrible without Barkley. Eli is still a better QB than Jones.

Vikings @ Seahawks - Good one. Repeat of last year Sunday night game, and Seattle won a close one. More of the same here. Vikings finally got on track last week at HOU.

Chargers @ Saints (MON)- Herbert playing good for LAC. Saints at home should get back on track. Not as bad as their record looks.

Bills @ Titans (TUE)- a damn good game. Bills win streak should end here. You cant win em all and Titans are at home. Their defense should slow down Josh Allen a bit.

well whaddya know, Kyle Allen indeed gets hurt, and in comes Alex Smith. Great story.

Also, Joe Flacco is playing for the Jets!

I'm probly the ONLY analyst in the country that highlighted these things in their previews.

Also, great to see some fans in some o' these stadiums. Pittsburgh, Washington, etc.

I didn’t realize Flacco was on the Jets.

Gurley with 125 yards and ATL still loses at home 23-16.

This has gotta be coaching. The team has talented players but cant put it together. Even without Julio Jones.

Mike McCarthy is a terrible coach. This shouldnt'a even been a ballgame.

Good to see the Red Rifle lead the comeback victory.

Garropolo benched at halftime.

Its hard to believe the 49ers were in the Super Bowl.

Wonder how often that's happened where a Super Bowl QB is benched 5 games (or really 3 for him) into the next season.

thought the -3 line was low for the Saints at home.

But somehow Vegas was right. Chargers leading 6-3.

Tough loss for Minny. Great, close game.

But u cant start off 0-3 and then expect to make it up in places like Seattle.

Kick the field goal and cause them the Seahawks to complete the improbability of a 75 yard TD drive and a successful two point conversion. Even if they happen to do the improbable, the game is tied and you go into overtime.

It wasn't that complicated.

75 td much more improbable than getting a single yard against a d that hadnt stopped the run yet that evening... and even if you fail they have to 94 yards for the td..... ??

if zimmer had gone for 2 after scoring the last td to go up 6 then they have a W. he kicked a extra point for some reason because being up 5 vs. 4 mattered for some reason late in the game?

with your backup RB

He got greedy. It's like a gambler holding a season champion ticket before the championship game and not hedging
