I will boldly predict that the Packers will remain undefeated 🙂 Seriously, they are on Sunday night, delayed so the end was past my bedtime Then Monday night (no cable, so couldn’t easily watch) And then they have a bye Brian ---

Atlanta learning how to not blow a lead. Just fall behind early. I haven’t watched any Panthers, but I’m impressed Teddy B. has that team at 2-2 without CMC. ---

As Mike Florio has just reported, the NFL has announced eight scheduling changes, as a result of the postponement of the Patriots-Broncos game: > [@](#): > > Broncos-Patriots moves to Week Six at 1:00 p.m. ET. > > Chiefs-Bills moves to Monday, October 19, at 5:00 p.m. ET. (It will be televised nationally on FOX and NFL Network.) > > Jets-Dolphins moves from Week 10 to Week Six at 4:05 p.m. ET. > > Jets-Chargers moves from Week Six to Week 11 at 4:05 p.m. ET. > > Jaguars-Chargers moves from Week Eight to Week Seven at 4:25 p.m. ET. > > Chargers-Broncos moves from Week 11 to Week Eight at 4:05 p.m. ET. > > Chargers-Dolphins moves from Week Seven to Week 10 at 4:05 p.m. ET. > > Dolphins-Broncos moves from Week Six to Week 11 at 4:05 p.m. ET. The Chargers see four of their upcoming games affected, and they weren’t even directly involved in the issues with any postponed games. > **[NFL makes eight schedule changes](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-makes-eight-schedule-changes)** > > The NFL's latest surgical procedure on the schedule amounts to an octuple bypass. ---

OK, that makes sense, I guess. But he’s predicting that the Pack will remain undefeated in their bye week? Bold. ---

Looks like a coaching change imminent in Atlanta > Definitely going to be an interesting coaching carousel this season ---

Yes, I meant they WERE on Sunday night, and I guess my smiley wan’t enough to indicate my jokey prediction. Brian ---

Browns receivers are making crazy catches consistently on passes that probably shouldn’t have been thrown today. ---

This Cowboys defense is historically bad. As in, possibly on pace to allow 700 points this season bad. ---

Yeah, I thought maybe the Chiefs would play defense. It wasn’t boring, though. ---

The over-emoting by Romo and Nance negated almost every concerned feeling I had for Dak. They were acting as if his life were in danger, not that he might have broken his foot and will miss the season. ---

Browns seem like they’re pretty good this year. Season to be cancelled. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > The over-emoting by Romo and Nance negated almost every concerned feeling I had for Dak. They were acting as if his life were in danger, not that he might have broken his foot and will miss the season. Twitter has been over the top. Interesting that Dwayne Haskins broke his Twitter silence today about Dak, not when Kyle Allen got hurt or when Alex Smith came in. I’m really sorry Dak got hurt and it’ll probably cost him the season, but it was a football injury. Not a gruesome Theisman or Alex Smith injury and definitely not a spinal injury. ---

Seahawks down 13-0 at halftime. Now less than 7 minutes into the 3rd quarter, they are up 21-13. Ouch. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2020-week-5/922493.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2020-week-5/922493.md?page=3)
