Excellent win to the Rams and those special teams plays were something else - especially the "fake catch" bit.

KC winning in San Diego keeps their season alive - divisional games can often throw up mixed results.

Baltimore keep marching on and along with the Colts & Arizona, all 3 are in a position to win their respective divisions. All 3 teams are flying under the radar a bit too.

The Saints threw away a winnable game ... what was Brees thinking?

Denver looked great tonight and well done to Peyton on breaking Favre's record - Manning was immense again ... 22/26 with 4 TD's against good opposition. Wow!

But the big story for me is Seattle - they just don't look the same team and with 10 or 11 wins probably being needed for a wild-card in the NFC, the Seahawks had better get a move on. They've still got to play all 3 of their divisional rivals at home and have to travel to @ Carolina @ KC @ 49ers @ Eagles and @ Arizona ... that's no walk in the park.

Order was restored in the tipping comp ... no one got a point ^_^ 2 points up for grabs in week 8 (the third of our bonus weeks) ... week 8 games

Points tally ...

2 - Dappa Dan

1 - JV7, Go the Biff, cowboy_from_hell, pantaloons, Gorgoroth, Georgiou R. R. Martin, Macca

0 - others

Tomorrow

11.30am Houston at Pittsburgh (ESPN)

Could be a close one but I fancy the Steelers.

 

Ha. Yeah there's some odd things going on with your D. Is it a scheme/DC thing maybe? They were the next big thing in fantasy. I picked, and luckily had Green Bay as a backup.

And yeah the Bradford thing is what's great about Davis. He's this completely free pick, 4th string, and he's been really, really good. From what I've seen, you'd be quite comfortable keeping Davis.

Missing Long big time in our D, Laurinitis doesn't seem as switched on this year so far and Quinn is copping all the attention.

I thought Donald had a ripping game yesterday.

But TBH, we play well for a half then things fall away and we can't get them off the field, like we game up a first down on a 3rd and 17. Just shouldn't happen, they work their socks off in the first two downs then it's like they think they have got it and relax on the 3rd down.

Screw you Orton. Frustrating game to watch especially when had had a 4th and 20 midfield after we sacked Orton for the sixth time they call a play quick and Orton gets the first down and then the game winning TD. Good on the bills but losing Jackson and spiller to injuries really hurts their offence. Bears are winless at soldier field. I'd say they and the vikes are cooked. It's down to Detroit and the pack. Seattle should bounce back. Their run defence looks sluggish but Wilson will find a way.

 

How was that 2:54 secs block coming to half time by the Steelers...Wow, never seen anything like it.

Gonna make a late change here and put Detroit in my picks and take out... gulp... Seattle.

Can you re-do your tips and just delete your original post?

Otherwise I'm likely to miss your change of tips

 

Seattle

Indy

Green Bay

I was going to pick the Rams to jinx them, but I just couldn't do that do Gorgoroth.


Excellent line-up of TV games this week ... Denver should be too strong at home tomorrow but it is a divisional game ...

Friday

11.25am San Diego at Denver (ESPN)

Monday

4.00am - 10.30am RedZone (ESPN)

4.00am Baltimore at Cincinnati (7mate)

Chargers have some injuries iirc so Denver should beat them, I hope it's a good game but I think Denver will win comfortably by 17

Detroit

Green Bay

Miami

Just a reminder that 2 points are on offer this week ...

Miami

Indianapolis

Seattle

Detroit (feel a bit sneaky tipping the London game)

Miami

Houston (JJ Watt v a 3rd string QB on debut - feel crazy tipping a team with Pickspatrick at QB, wanted to tip GB, but maybe some vintage Drew Brees can turn it around at home?)

Re-done post, Packers, Colts and regretting it now but Detroit.

  • Author

Oh wow. Not regretting Detroit anymore... great finish and great comeback.

Thankyou Detroit's new FG kicker. I'll take the 2 points, it's about all the fun I've got left in the NFL. And thanks everyone who tipped the Colts.

In other news the Bears defense carried the team for a while this season but now due to injuries and shocking lack of depth on the roster have crumbled to a mess at the hands of Brady. And we pulled one from the bonehead Detroit play book by a guy doing his ACL celebrating a sack (whilst down the best part of 30 points).

GB v NO is heating up. If Brees plays well this will be 40 all. NO can't stop Rodgers.

Julius Peppers on offense at goal line TE dropping a pass. Oh Mike McCarthy you so crazy.

All teams get injuries ... it's not the only reason you're 3 & 5. Your QB just can't get it done on a consistent basis - and, you're stuck with him by the looks of it.

You may as well tank the rest of the season now

Except Saints. (And his own hamstrings)

The Saints have been far too good today ... the Packers haven't really looked like it. Rodgers has looked a little incapacitated but we've been outplayed in nearly all areas. No excuses.

If New Orleans get their act together, they'll win the NFC South in a canter - trouble is, they're not much chop on the road.

Watched your game this morning and whilst Foles numbers looked quite good, he couldn't get it done in crunch time.


3 of us picked up points in the comp this week ... 2 points as well :) ... the Packers & Indi let the rest of us down.

Points tally ...

3 - JV7, Go the Biff, Georgiou R. R. Martin

2 - Dappa Dan

1 - cowboy_from_hell, pantaloons, Gorgoroth, Macca

0 - others

Week 9 games (back to 1 point only :mellow:) It's still not too late to join in the comp and with the leaders only being on 3 points, it's anyone's race.

Not many surprise results in today's games although the Steelers might be a lot better than many thought ... Big Ben had an immense game and they're only a half a game back in the AFC North ... their next 4 - vs Ravens, @ Jets, @ Titans, vs Saints are all winnable.

Detroit might be finally shaking off the choking tag and their next 4 might tell us how good they are ... vs Miami, @ Arizona, @ New England, vs Chicago.

Arizona keep winning and the 49ers & Seattle must be getting a bit concerned now ... Buffalo, Miami, KC & Houston all winning keeps those 4 teams within striking distance.

So we start like a house on fire, try to pick up a turn over instead of dropping on it leading to their first score, allow KC to get momentum, screw up a great turn over and then miss the FG, WTF was Davis thinking losing 14 yards from the red zone... throw the ball out you [censored]!

And it was all down hill from there, they return a 99 yarder, their confidence goes up, Smith plays well from there especially against our three rookie corners, Davis confidence when it goes down, the balloon doesnt deflate, it gets shredded.

He showed no fight or spirit and then we lost half our O line too.

Oh god... I don't know enough about the finer details of rules but doesn't seem right the way we lost. I swear this team gets more and more like melbourne every week. Inventing new ways to lose, I can't take it anymore . A win there would have kept the season alive in a weak divison

Edited by JV7

 

Yeah JV7 that loss has to hurt. Detroit got the win and they roll on for another week. Rodgers twinged the hammy but won't miss games. I think they would amputate the leg and put him on a wooden spike instead of him missing a week. I tipped the pack thinking that under the dome with the saints mediocre defense Rodgers would get big yards and he still did but the Saints found a way. I refused to think Seattle had dropped off a bit but after seeing a fair chunk of their game they don't stink but they smell a little. Their mistakes today were very unlike them. Stupid penalties and dropped passes. Carolina have a very good defense but Seattle never really clicked all game. Chicago don't smell they stink. If you compare them to the poorer teams in the league Raiders,Bucs,Jets,Vikes and Jags then they don't look so bad but Chicago always have had the expectation of being a playoff team. Cutler is just no good against playoff teams. He fumbles under pressure far too much. Lovie Smith had the defense to protect Cutler from being "the guy" much like Ponder had AP to cover his backside. Now that the defense isn't a top 5 D Cutler looks unsettled. Could be worse though. I'm looking at you Geno!

Edit: Anthony Barr I love you.

Did you watch it? I don't have game pass and I was up at 4am this morning (with a newborn) watching the Bengals game and following our game on twitter and gamecast. Despite the final scoreline, those deflating things early in sporting games like mussed field goals can completely change the direction of a contest. Smith's numbers were very efficient. He plays within his limitations, which I like.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
