What did we learn in Week 6?

[GM]

No one's started this thread yet so I will. I think it's a good practice to look back and see where we made our mistakes. Here's what I learned:

1) The Bills offence has some serious concerns. If they can't get a running game going they are going to have a lot of trouble winning games.

2) Trust my initial instincts. When I over-think sometimes I talk myself out of winners.

3) I think I am over-rating the Seattle Seahawks. They are good, but I am not convinced they are really good yet.

4) Kansas City has the look of a team that will not be denied.

5) Dallas just may be the real deal.

6) The Saints will beat the bad teams and lose to the good ones (sounds obvious enough, but lots of teams don't follow this pattern).

7) I still don't believe in Carolina, but it's hard not to be impressed.

i learned that my giants were over rated entering the season.


btw, carolina reminds me of the giants when they won the 2nd superbowl. good running. minimal mistakes & a strong defense.

Ar, their quarterback sucks, not nearly as good as simms or hostedler(sp). If they win @ home this week against tenn then I'll beleive. JMO

skulldog,


i'm also not a big fan of collins. he has a live arm, but wilts under pressure. but their problems are more than collins. i put the blame on fassel. i lost respect for him after watching the giants fall apart vs. sf in last year's playoffs. a well coached team never losses their composure. you will never see a parcells, walsh,lombardi, etc. teams fall apart like what happened to the giants.

ar, I was talking about carolina, not NYG

Officiating is still a joke:joke:

"bring your running game"
"bring your defense"

skulldog,

sorry about that. one day i will learn how to read(lol).

btw, i agree about their qb. but all he is asked to do is keep the mistakes to a minimum.

I have to agree with Urlacher's comments. The bears do suck and they did lose that game, but man some of those calls were horrible. its like they had a bunch of high school refs in there.

I learned that a 17 point lead is the kiss of death: GB and Seattle

Last week, I learned that a 21 point lead is the kiss of death: TB

I also learned (and already knew) that Arizona is a joke, and no matter how many points the oddsmaker gives them, they will find a way to blow it with Ints and blocked kicks and any other tools at their disposal. Truly horrendous.
