Time for Week Roku. Oh, I mean Week 6 ("Roku" is Japanese for "six"). Anyhow, the tackling and play making in the NFL continues. Same great action; different week. Here are some of this week's games previewed:
* An all West Coast, NFC West Thursday Night Football game kicks off the new week, as the San Francisco 49ers will head up north to meet the Seattle Seahawks.
* London, England, UK is ready for another bout of NFL football. The Jacksonville Jaguars will try to get their 2nd win of the season when they will take on the Chicago Bears.
* The Houston Texans will be road tripping. Awaiting the Texans are the New England Patriots.
* New Orleans couldn't beat dem Chiefs on Monday Night, so the Saints will try to tame the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
* The Los Angeles Chargers will go a Mile High to take on the Denver Broncos in an AFC West match.
* The Las Vegas Raiders will go all-in and all-out at home when they host Fezzik's Pittsburgh Steelers.
* Joey D's Detroit Lions will head down to Jerry World to take on the Dallas Cowboys.
* You got to keep on keeping on. With that said, the Carolina Panthers will host the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC South tussle.
* A GTPlanet inner-forum rivalry makes up the next Sunday Night Football, and it all happens in the shadow of New York City. It will be Dolph Drago's Cincinnati Bengals and Jump Ace's New York Giants ready to rumble on a Sunday Night.
* Sunday Night Football will take place in the shadow of New York City, and so will Monday Night Football this week. This time, it will be Blitz24's and kjb's New York Jets trying to extend the Buffalo Bills' losing streak to three straight losses in a critical AFC East match.
** BYE WEEK: Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Miami, and Minnesota
I always invite GTPlanet NFL Fans to assess their team(s) from time to time. So let me assess mine.
The 2024 Houston Texans are currently 4-1 on the 2024 NFL Season, 1st in the AFC South (and the only winning record AFC South team so far). The Texans' only blemish is that rough ride at the Minnesota Vikings. The Texans have yet to put together a convincing win this season. Even last week, the Texans had a two-touchdown lead until the Buffalo Bills eventually tied the game. Houston, though, still managed to win. The biggest fault of the Texans this season has been them collecting lots of penalty yards. CJ Stroud seemed inhuman last season; but this season, he has had quite a few interceptions and turnovers. Texans have played to some dramatic finishes except for their smashing at the Vikings. If the Texans can minimize their penalties and maybe win games by larger margins, they can really be a threat in the AFC and in the rest of the NFL. They may also have a chance to make it to the AFC Championship game finally for the first time in team history. The Texans are good, but they are not yet great. Better discipline and more solid execution will help the Texans finally become a true contender. Times in Houston are otherwise going quite well finding ways to win, even if the wins are modest. H's up, H-Town!
There is my assessment. You all are free to assess your team(s) if you like. Let's hear about the Bengals, Dolphins, Steelers, Jets, Panthers, Broncos, and your favorite team(s).
Enjoy Week 6!
