NFL Week 6 Recap: Bears Are 5-1, Patriots Panic, and Deion Sanders on 'JB' Teams

Week 6 is officially in the books, and we have a full board of weirdness to sift through. Between the Fastest 2 Minutes and a Sunday night clash of the 'Whiz Kids,' the NFL gave us a Sunday that felt like a fever dream. Big Cat and PFT started with the Niners absolutely dismantling the Rams, proving that last week's disaster against the Dolphins was just a fluke.

The 49ers are officially back

Niners are officially back. Also George Kittle is a hundred percent back because I don't know how he got that open, but he he deserves a couple easy ones... Niners are officially back a hundred percent back.

PredictionFootballMedium
The 49ers finished 6-10 in 2020 and missed the playoffs, largely due to a massive wave of injuries. They were definitively not 'back' to their Super Bowl form.

While the Niners found their footing, the AFC North saw a brutal reality check. The Steelers didn't just beat the Browns; they reminded them who the big brother is in that rivalry. Big Cat still thinks the schedule opens up enough for Cleveland to make some noise later, but for now, they have to wear this one.

The Bears are 5-1 and the World is Mad

Big Cat is officially in his 'I will not apologize' era. The Bears went into Carolina and won an ugly, defensive-heavy game that has the rest of the league scratching their heads. Nick Foles didn't have to be perfect because the defense looked like the 2018 unit again.

The Bears will be underdogs every week and I will keep betting on them

The Bears are 5-1. I don't give a fuck how they're winning. They're going to be underdogs every single game. I'm going to keep betting on them... the defense is back... I know that deep down the Bears are destined for a 10 and 6 11 and 5 record and then to lose in a heartbreaking way in the first round and everyone to shit down my throat.

PredictionFootballMedium
The Bears finished 8-8. They did make the playoffs (as the 7th seed) and lost in the Wild Card round to the Saints, which matches the spirit of his 'heartbreaking exit' prediction but the record was worse.

Despite the hot start, Big Cat is still a realist about how this story usually ends for his beloved Monsters of the Midway.

The Bears are destined for an 11-5 record followed by a heartbreaking first-round playoff loss

I know that deep down the Bears are destined for a 10 and 6, 11 and 5 record and then to lose in a heartbreaking way in the first round and everyone to shit down my throat.

PredictionFootballMedium
The Bears finished 8-8 but did sneak into the playoffs and lost in the first round to the Saints.

AFC East Meltdown and the Gase Era

The Patriots lost a game to the Broncos where Denver didn't even score a touchdown. Six field goals were enough to sink a New England team that looked like they hadn't practiced in weeks, mostly because they haven't. Hank, ever the optimist, isn't ready to pull the alarm just yet.

There is a zero percent chance the Patriots miss the playoffs

What do you think that the chances are that the Patriots miss the playoffs entirely is here? Zero. Zero percent chance here.

PredictionFootballHot
The 2020 Patriots finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

Meanwhile, in Miami, the Jets continued their historic run of incompetence. Adam Gase has managed to stay employed despite overseeing an offense that currently looks like it’s being run through a dial-up modem.

Adam Gase's ability to stay employed is commendable

I actually am going to zag on everyone and say like I I applaud Adam gase for getting this far in life. Yeah, it's incredible what he has done... It is a great lesson for everyone out there get yourself next to someone great and have everyone else think that you had something to do with it. And you're set for life.

Hot TakeFootballScorchingSubjectiveSarcastic
Gase's tenure is statistically one of the worst for an offensive coach. The 'commendable' part is purely a joke about his survival skills.

Prime Time Thoughts with Deion Sanders

Coach Prime joined the show to help make sense of the weekend, specifically the Packers getting punched in the mouth by Tom Brady and the Bucs. Deion wasn't surprised that the physical nature of Tampa Bay's defense rattled Aaron Rodgers. He also had some choice words for the Browns after their blowout loss in Pittsburgh.

The Browns are a 'JB' (Junior Boy) team, not Varsity yet

They're JB. You know that, we know that, everyone knows that. They know that they're JB. They're not Varsity yet... the whole team, they're not on that level yet, man. They got a ways to go.

OpinionFootballHotSubjective
While they finished 11-5 and won a playoff game, Deion is making a subjective culture claim.

Looking ahead to the draft, the conversation turned to Trevor Lawrence and the terrifying possibility of him landing with the Jets. Deion thinks the Clemson star might take a page out of the Manning playbook to avoid that situation.

Trevor Lawrence will pull an Elway and an Eli Manning to refuse to play for the Jets

I feel like Trevor Lawrence is going to pull a Elway in an Eli. Mmm-hmm and say I'm not doing that... It's something wrong with the organization. You can't have it. It's not too many. That's too many consecutive quarterbacks in the in a system.

PredictionFootballHot
Trevor Lawrence did not refuse to play; he was drafted #1 overall by the Jaguars, not the Jets.

To wrap things up, the crew went through a legendary 'Who's Back' featuring a JFK Jr. sighting and Nick Saban defeating COVID-19 in record time. It's a great day to be a Bears fan, even if the rest of the world is waiting for the floor to fall out.

Just remember: if you don't respect the 34 respects, you don't deserve the 110 likes.

I am still buying the Eagles to win the NFC East

I have actually two takeaways from this game. And the first one is I'm still buying the Eagles. Yeah, so I think that there are they could have beaten the Ravens today... the NFC East is terrible Dak Prescott got hurt and the next four games for the Eagles are giants Cowboys Giants Browns. Mmm. I think they're going to go at least three in one and we're going to be sitting here being like watch out for the Eagles.

PredictionFootballMedium
The Eagles went 1-3 over their next four games and finished the season 4-11-1, last in the NFC East. Washington won the division at 7-9.

Lamar Jackson can't come from behind when trailing

Lamar, he's not really that great playing with a small lead either... we talked about him not being able to come from behind at all. Even if you're up by like two scores. He's just he's limited some time.

OpinionFootballHot
Lamar Jackson has since won two MVPs and led multiple double-digit comebacks, notably a massive 19-point comeback against the Colts in 2021, largely debunking this specific 'limited' tag.

Ryan Tannehill's success is officially not a fluke

Ryan Tannehill good is we made all the jokes in the world, but the Step has been taken and it is fully been taken. This is not a statistical anomaly anymore because last year the end of the year, we're like, oh he's doing it. But he's just playing out of his head. We're now six weeks into the 2020 season... He's good.

Fact ClaimFootballMild
Tannehill finished 2020 with 33 TDs and 7 INTs, a 106.5 passer rating, and led the Titans to the AFC South title. His success in Tennessee was verified as sustainable for several seasons.

I don't know what to make of the Colts. I really don't. I think I have to stop—I'm not betting on them the rest of the year because I just can't. They're just a very weird team.

There are too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now

There are too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now. Yes, there aren't enough teams that have like a dire dire situation... We've got kind of a log Jam and come through... There's like I don't know maybe five teams where it's like, you know for a fact they're gonna be okay want a quarterback.

OpinionFootballMediumSubjective
This is subjective, but the 2021 draft saw 5 QBs taken in the first 15 picks, suggesting the league disagreed and felt there was a major need for high-end talent.

The Browns are gonna be okay. Browser going to be okay... I think they can have on the rest of their season Bengals, Texans, Jaguars, Giants, Jets... they can be a ten win team somehow.

The Packers struggle when they step up in class against physical teams

This is the same issue the Packers had last year they step up in class. They step up against a physical team and they don't look like the same, you know team that was started this season 5 and over... but the Bucks played physical they Blitz they fucking play great defense. Aaron Rodgers look lost.

OpinionFootballMedium
This was largely proven true in the 2020 NFC Championship game, where the physical Bucs defense beat the Packers again to advance to the Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers will torch the Texans and Vikings in his next two games

The Packers are going to by the way like this—this is why it sucks to even throw out the thought, the hints, the whiff of the F-word [fraud] with the Packers because they're playing the Texans and the Vikings next. Aaron Rodgers is going to have like 15 touchdowns against those two teams.

PredictionFootballMedium
Rodgers threw 4 TDs against the Texans and 3 TDs against the Vikings. While not 15, he did indeed 'torch' them.

Only 5 or 6 NFL franchises are actually committed to winning the Super Bowl every year

The NFL is a bunch of franchises that—there are a handful of franchises that are consistently trying to win the Super Bowl. And everyone else—that's it. Everyone else just trying to make a little money and maybe sneak in the playoffs every now and then and then you have like five or six franchises, like 'this is our commitment to try to win the Super Bowl every single year.'
