Takeaways From Week From Week 5

 

 Wow Its Been Five Weeks Of NFL. The Bills Gave the Cheifs A Taste Of Their Own Medicine. Of The Undefeated That Entered Week 4, One remains And The three Others Have Lost Two In A row And Now Have 12 Weeks To Remind Us Of What Made Made Us Believe in Them To Begin With. The Seahawks Will Be Down One Russell Wilson, And Most Likely Out of The Playoffs. But That’s A Weeks 17 Conversation this is Week 5.

These Are Take Away from Games This Past Sunday That  I Took Particular Interest In for One reason Or Another.

 

 

 

Saints(3-2) Vs Washington(2-3).

 

The New Orleans Saints’  Defensive Backfield Prove To Be The Difference Sunday Against The Washington Football Team Whose Offense Is still Limping Along Week-to-Week.  Composed Of Some Marshon Lattimore, Marcus Williams, Malcolm Jenkins, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, And Co. The Saints  Put On A clinic In Pass Defense Against A not Mediocre And volatile but Certainly Capable of producing Passing Offense From DC. The covid Corners So To Say Because They were Cancelling Flight After Flight, Landing After Landing That Took Of Form The DC Tarmac Pocket. From My Account, They Amass Some Let’s See, Move Over The 1,  Add The 5, Y2 Minus X1, Parenthesis 6 And Oh X Squared Equals  10 Million. It was seven Pass Deflection, Six Of Which belong to MarShon Lattimore, Who Himself Left One-Half Of the field Inoculated Of Pass Completion. Heincke Only Completed 22% Of Hs Targets in Lattimore Direction And the Saints Secondary Only Gave Up A 54 % Rev Percentage. All Jokes Aside Taylor Heinicke And co. Did Not have A Fun Time Moving The Ball On Offense And it Resulted In a Sub-50% Completion Percentage And. 2 Interceptions. This Lost As all But Extinguished The Flames  That Washington Brought Into The season And Fanned Them Out As A  Contender The NFC East.

 

 

The Browns(3-2) Vs Chargers(4-1)

 

There is always that Juncture In Team’s Transitioning Form When The Developing Model And Identity Must merge Into A Contending And Championship Aspirational Unit. The Browns Have met That Point.  The Young roster Has To Make That “Leap” Out Of The Crysalis And Into flight Or Risk  Fall Prey The “stasis” And Dying Away, think The Oklahoma Thunder Of  The NBA, In the early 2010s. They were There, In contention For Awhile, But The Unit never Came Together For Them In The Window Of opportunity That was Presented. After Falling short Of Once Agains recording A Signature win Against Another Of The AFC’s Top Teams, It’s Clear, The Browns Aren’t Ready To Make A Move On The AFC Top, And what’s worse This Season Could Be the Death Note For This Teams Potential Moving forward. It’s Tempting Perhaps to check Their Performace To Excoriate It them By Stat Sheet For Falling short; because That’s is what We Do Here. But Sunday  The Brown Set Another Dubious For Franchise Too Akin To Dubious lows.  The Browns Scored 42 Point had zero Touchdowns And Still Lost. The First That’s Happen in the Superbowl era. There Is A Reason Why Jedi Younglings Must Enter Into The Jedi Order Near infancy. After A “undisclosed” Age The Youngling Breeches the Barrier Wherein  They are no Longer Venerable to “indoctrination” and Are therefore Of No Value To the Jedi-Cult(ish), The Jedi masters Over look them. Similarly, Or Perhaps not, teams Are Given A Window In Which To Fulfil or “make Good” On The Promise, They Have Exhibited Before Its Necessary For Them To Start Again Or risk Forfeiting Another window Of Triumphant. Trust Me This is A Thing.  I Hate To Say it but Baker Mayfield We Have Seen Enough.  Jamaican Civil rights Activist Marcus Garvy Once Said “Look to Africa When A Black king Shall be Crowned...” I Say Look To LA NFL where your MVP Will Be.  Here NFL Is, Justin Herbert. Herbert is Cementing Himself As a transcendent talent. The Rebirth Of The Pure gunslinger, The Quarter bAck who Out Arms Talents the opposing Team, rather Than Relying on scheme Or Creativity. Herbert Will Get The Ball To the Spot Before The corner Arrives Simple as that. He finished the game 26-of-43 for 398 yards and five total touchdowns And Brought The Chargers Back From being Down One Touchdown To the Browns And His lore Is Only Ballooning.

 

 

Colts(1-4) Vs. Ravens(4-1)

“The Pass Rush Could Not Get Home. The Linebackers Couldn’t Tackle And The Corners Couldn’t’ Cover.” This Is As Close Of An Assessment Of What Happen To the Colts During Monday Night’s Embarrassing  Implosion. Defensively, the colts Took The Knee. Perhaps they Had Though They Figured Out The Ravens’ And Lamar Jackson, perhaps The offense Was On A Roll And Their Was No need to be Concern With just Ten Minutes To Go Perhaps This Was Not the Night For The Colts. It took A massive Comeback, Overtime, and Sombad luck on Account of the Colts For Baltimore To Cap The Victory. This will not be A panegyric for The Ravens Though, They needed Three Quarters To record their First Touch Down. Jonathan Taylor, Nayheim Hines, And Marlon Mack Ran wild Whenever And However  Against the defense. Lamar Recorded 432 Yard On A ridiculous 83% But That make Of which Was Mostly underneath Routes and Checkdown, he hasn’t shown Improved touch Of His Outside throws and his Only “consistent” Target Is Any of the top Team’s second tight end. Jackson Rushed For 67 Yards But His legs haven’t Been The Threats They Have In years Past And His Fumbling, Ball Security Proved Nearly Critically.

 

 

Bills(4-1) Vs. Chiefs(2-3)

 

Patrick Mahomes Has thrown six Interceptions In 5 Games,  A New Standard For Him. The Number Of Games, 5,  Equals How many Interception He Threw In In His First Season As The Starter In KC Total  And the Number Of  Interceptions, 6, Are  As Many As He Has Thrown All Of Last Season, And More Than The Chiefs Inability to Disguise The Loss Of Their Invulnerability By way of Patrick MAhomes’s Invariant Magic is Making Things  Difficult for The Chief’s To Disguise Their Flaws.  Six Picks Are 3rd on the Year, Conversely, He’s Thrown 16 which Is First. He Threw 2 Touchdowns against Buffalo and Then Even Things Off with Two Picks. His Scrambles Number (19) Are Nearly Half As Much As They Were Last year (42) So All that Work KC engineered To Rebuilt The offensive Is Not Paying Off. The Chief Are 2-3 Are, Behind Oakland And Sand Diego In the Division And Looking At The Browns And Slumping Bengals For just A Chance At Wild Card. The Buffalo Bills Have Completely Regained Their Championship Composure Which was Conspicuously Absent In week 1. It would Be Pick Low Hanging Fruit to Enter The Detail By Discussing Josh Allen But This Bills Number Rank Defense Overall And The Number 1 Ranked Coverage Defense According To Pro Football Focus hasn’t Surrendered A REC%(Percentage of targets caught) Greater Than 70% of All Season.

 

 

 

 

49ers(2-3) Vs. Cardinals(5-0)

Trey Lance Should Have taken Flight on That Goal Line 4 And Goal to Go Play. Trey Lance Should Have Kept His eyes Up Surveying The end zone, if Only for A Split Second Longer He Would Have, Possibly, identified At Least three options To Drop off a Pass to. One Of which Would Have been Kyle Juscyck torpedoing parallel To The Goal Line. Regardless He Got Blocked At The Goal Line And It Cost The Niners A touchdown In what was then A Close  Game. Losing By A Tucvhdown The Legaue’s  Best Team--It Hurt Me To Say That—Is An Omen Of Itself. Trey Lance Had sixteen Carries for 89 Yards But Being One Yard Short Is The Difference Between Being 4-1 Along with Arizona AnD LA In The Thick of It, And Being 2-3 Fight For .500  And Near the Brink Of Being In place With Seattle At The Bottom of The Division. Contending  With The Air Raid Advanced 2.0 Is Proving And Vicing Issue for Any Defense Not Equipped With Enough corners To Defend 4 wideouts Or Run Dime Coverage For An Extended Period Of Time.  When Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins Can Connect with each Other At will In the EndZone And rookie Rondale Moore Is Keeping drives Alive On His Toes In Bound, On Completion That Make A The Catch of The Year Award Announced Early.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tampa Bay(4-1) Vs. Miami(1-4)

In Another Year, Any Other Year, When The  Words “Anomalous” Or “strange Wouldn’t Be  The Defining ByLines For Every Day, “Everyday”  Occurrence, This Season’s Finally Would Conclude With Another Milestone For The Goat. Another Year, When The NFL Isn’t  Brimming  With Young,  Prolific Passes all Edging The  Prime Of their Career At Once And the High Standards For Above Average Play Weren’t being Eschewed  And Challenged Near Every Sunday.  In this Average Season Turned Supposed Experiment, The MVP Award Would Already Have  Been Engraved With Title Tom Brady’s  Etched On Its Body. With  Week 5 In The Books, Brady Has Separated Himself From His Contemporaries In Total Yards On The Season with  1767 Yards  Which Would Put 162 Yards Higher Than The 2ndPlace Finisher. Brady Is Averaging 353.4 Yards And A ridiculous 45 Dropback Per Game. That Rendered 15 Touch Down And 2 Interceptions on The Season And A 4-1 Bucs team Fresh Off Of The Dismantling of A Bewildered Miami Dolphins Team. If Brady Maintain Theis Level of Marksmanship He would Esclispe 2000 Yards In Six Games And By week 7 He Would Be Half Way To 5000 Yards. For Context, Peyton Manning average of 342.3 passing yards per game In His Record-Breaking 2013 Season. Manning finished The Season With 55 Touchdowns And 5476 Both remain  NFL records to this day. Brady Is On ace to eclipse Both records. 55 Touchdown Is A Lofty Goal In Any Season. Brady Need To Record a 3.5 touchdown Pair Game To Do So. Even so, The Narrative wont Favor His Numbers. This Season And Brady Will Be Robbed Of an MVP Award That would Be A Gaivne Any Other year.

 

 

 

 

 

Green Bay Vs. Cincinnati

If This capacious season Has Done Anything More Than Hyperbolis And Superlatate Statical Models In grand fashion,  It Has Humbled Superstars. With Patrick Mahomes casting Aside His god-hood  To Take On the Form Of Fallible Man, For At Least the Moment Appears, to the Man Above Him, or Before Him, Aaron Rodgers, who Set the Stage For Off Platform, arm-angled,-arsenal-armed Quarterbacks, Giving The Appearance Of a Step Or two Lost. Rodgers was Still An Efficient 27/39 For 344 Yards for The Packers Leading the Team To Their Fourth Straught win After That embarrassing opener. He Threw 2 Touchdowns And 1 Pick, One Of Those Touch Downs, Was A Jumpball To The League's Top rated Wideout Devante Adams who Is still Being Covered One-On-One In the End Zone For Some reason But doubling Didn’t Fear well for The Bengals As Well. On The Play Of the 1 Interception,  Rodgers Rolled Outright Targeting Devante Adams Once More Down Field, On The Boundary. Rodgers fired A Laser Towards The Sideline. Perhaps Driven By Memory Muscles, Images of A Routine  Back shoulder completion Already Began To PiXelate within My imagination. Instead, the Ball sailed inward Into The waiting Arms of A Bengals  Cornerback In the First Quarter. Of Course, Rodgers Would Recover and Continue To make The Reverent Look Pedestrian. But It’s missing Such As Those That’s Raise Question As Too How far This Packer’s Team Will Thrive Into The Postseason.

I Still Like This Bengals Team Despite The Loss. There Three-headed Monster Of Jamar Chase, Tyler, and tee Higgins At Wide receiver Has Been a Revelation. Especially, Chase, I expected Him To be Good But what He Is Doing this Season is incredible. Losing Late On Two Missed Field Goals Would Be A death Sentence, for Some teams Mentioned Earlier. But The Browns and Baltimore Are Still vulnerable In This Division.

 

 

 

 

 

Bears Vs. Raiders

The Raider Offense Has Looked Mostly Like A Shell Of Its Former Undefeated Glory. How Quickly The Tide Turns In The NFL, Two Weeks  Removed From Being Heralded As One The Leagues Best Offenses On Sunday The Raider Muster More  Than Nine Point  That Marks The Issue the Team Lack Explosive Plays. The Offense Was Most Tamed. QB Derek Carr finished The Game 22 For 35 206, his 2nd Weakest Out Put Of The Season, 5.9 Yard Per Attempt, And 3 Big Time Throw. Credit The Bears defense For Control Throwing offering Underneath Throws, 21 Of Carr’s 22 Completions were Immediate or Shorter. It Will Remain To Be Seen If the Raiders Regain Their Composeure On And off The Feild But they are Being written Off By Most

Week 5 Is In The Books And Week 6 Is here Before We Ahve AHd A Chance To Digest The Full Sunday Of Close Finishes and Jaw-Dropping Comebacks But Week Will Erase Any temptation To Rewind BAck To Week 5. Perhaps We Will Revisit This In Week 18.
