Aaaand some sanity in the NFL again.

Broncos and Patriots against current good opposition manage to roll them handsomely. Saints win, albeit luckily. Chargers humiliate Jets... San Francisco beat Chiefs... All is well in football again.

Just looking now at the best records in the NFL. Only Philly, Dallas and Chargers are on 4-1.... And I gotta say the Eagles, while ahead on divisional record in the NFC East, might be the third best side in their own division. What a hopelessly mediocre game. Right now it's only luck and special teams keeping their heads above water... And their schedule:

Giants @Cards @Texans Panthers... Yikes. Could easily lose all four on current form.

Meanwhile Cowboys have:

@Seahawks then all home games....Giants Skins Cards

    Can someone please tell me why I didn't choose a decent NFL team.. I was sucked in by the falcons fluke 2012 season. I started following NFL to escape the frustration and anger that comes with following melbourne.. Is it too late to find a new team ?

    Wow the jets are in a deep hole. Just no offense at all. The bills baby! I enjoy seeing them win. Seriously who could dislike Buffalo? Detroit couldn't kick a FG all day. With Chicago and the vikes losing as well Green Bay must be smiling. I still think San Fran won't make the playoffs. Just a hunch though. Bloody Dallas find a way to win. It's hard to admit but they are a little under rated. I hope Philly can put them back where they belong. Is Peyton the best regular season QB of all time?

    The good thing about the NFL is it can turn around very quickly. You have talent in Atlanta. You also have injuries. Keep the faith and always remember you could be following the jets and demons. That is a deadly cocktail of sport right there.

    Still no points to allocate in the tipping comp (otherwise known as ... "Intolerable Cruelty" - the sequel) Cinci put most of us out.

    No change in the points tally ...

    1 - Dappa Dan

    0 - Anyone who can still be bothered.

    Week 6 games - can someone please tip 3 winners? Otherwise we might have to make it the home teams for a week!! It does look a little easier next week, all the same.

    No real surprises in today's games and Dappa summed up things quite well in the above post ... as for tomorrow's game, I give Washington a sneaky chance but Seattle should be too strong ... Seahawks 31 Washington 24.

    After watching quite an average Rams v Eagles game I'm hoping today's is better.

    Eagles special teams and defence were decent, their offence average with Foley throwing some stupid passes (half which came off).

    For us, I think they tried to up the offence early and Davis didn't do great, but in the last quarter and s bit where we went to a more simplified game plan we stack on 21 unopposed points. In he last 2 mins Pettis dropped to catches that were first downs and we lose by 6. Didn't deserve to win, but could have stolen it.

    We miss Long.

    Oh joy, the niners on MNF.

    I hate sport.

    Why do I continually follow clubs that disappoint me on a weekly basis.

    Melbourne...fukked, season over round one

    Rams... Fukked, season over round four

    Bolton... Fukked, season over from round one, manager already sacked, we then lose to a ten man team who had a player sent of 30 mins into the game FFS.

    Anyone not tipping:

    Denver

    San Diego (always classy)

    Can't settle on a third tip. Can't go against my Browns (AFC team, getting on the bandwagon early) after they came through for me last week, can't tip NE, Baltimore or SF and I don't want to ruin Thursday night football!

    Green Bay (if I jinx them it's still a win!)

    Davis was all over Foles in that game. Eagles very lucky to be where they are at the moment. The hype is correct in this case. I think if they're gonna get back to steady the ship it basically HAS to be the Pass rushers, Cole, Graham and Curry picking up. I can't see improvement anywhere else.

    Which makes the rest of the NFC East breathe a big sigh of relief. There's no way they're gonna keep running in 2 TDs a week cos of special teams play.

    If he continues his current form I hope he wins MVP. We've seen what Peyton does. Russ Wilson is having a solid year and plays well in big moments but he hasn't been exceptional. Rivers has but he's a gifted experienced pocket passer doing his thing. It's nothing knew. And of course we've seen players like Watt before but it's time for him to win the MVP, especially considering how bad Houston are when he's not involved.

    Who picks the 7mate games. NE at Buffalo, good call, should be somewhat close if Buffalo can bring their defense and all that was wrong with the Pats offense isn't fixed in a week, plus it's a divisional contest.

    But Washington at Arizona is the worst of the 3 games I think. Chicago at Atlanta would be interesting to see who keeps their season alive and Dallas v Seattle is clearly the pick of the 3 later games.

    GMMM... Good point, however, they USUALLY put on Denver. And as much as they're like the Hawks of the NFL.... a good advertisement for the game... I'm dead set bored of them.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
