I thought the Steelers might be ok without Ben for 4 weeks, but vs Ravens, at Chargers, vs Cardinals at Chiefs is absolutely brutal.

Then when he gets back it's SeaHawks, Colts and Denver (plus Oakland) and Divisional games to finish the year.

They'll need to win at least 1 if not 2 of the 4 (if it is 4 weeks) to keep on pace.

    I keep waiting for your boys to take the next step. There is too much talent in St.louis to be losing those type of games at home. I think Fisher is on his way out but then you will beat Arizona or Seattle again and all is forgiven.

    We are at Arizona this week the. Have GB the week after so we will prob be 1-4.

    Our D holds us in the game, special teams score 1/4 of our points pretty much. Our O line is young, but not doing well yet so the running lanes are not there.

    Ha ha, seriously tho, how good does Rogers and GB look! Thought Nelson might have hurt them a bit but damn, they have just changed their game and not missed a beat!

    Week 4 games

    Week 4 for is for 1 point only but we have a bonus week coming up in week 5 (2 points) ... other bonus weeks are weeks 8, 10, 13, 15 & 17

    Also, this week the Jets are the designated "away" team even though their game against Miami is being played in London. Previously we've allowed the designated away team (in London) to be allowed in your tips so unless anyone has any objections, we'll continue to allow it.

    My tips ...

    Panthers

    Packers

    Eagles

    Any public holiday where I get to see an NFL game live is fine by me.

    These Ravens/Steelers match-ups are always good games too - they hate each other and it's a huge rivalry. The Ravens are lucky that Big Ben is out but Vick is still quite capable on his day.

    Ravens in a close one.

    I'm taping it, I'm out this morning, hope to be home by midday and start watching then, but I feel the wife will have us fixing things on the property so I'll prob watch this arvo.

    Yep, the Steelers had a number of chances to at least pick up field goals but they either missed them or as we saw towards the end of the game, not even attempt one of those field goal opportunities.

    The game itself was close as usual but lacked the ferocity of previous encounters.

    Agree, seemed a lot less aggressive as normal.

    Flacco doesn't look sharp and a 1-3 record probably shows that.

    I only saw the last quarter and OT but neither side looked like they wanted to win... Not sure why the steelers didn't go for the FG on that 4th & 1, yes it would have been a 51 yd attempt after their kicker had missed a couple previous but they had to go for it!

    Good win by the Ravens, even if it was against a Roethlisberger-less Steelers.

    My tips for this week are Packers, Panthers and Raiders.

    I have a feeling all sorts of records are going to be broken in GB-SF, and not in a good way for the 49ers...

  • Quote

    Bloody raiders!

    I hate them! Never should have picked them. Bah!

    Good win by the Rams, held the cards offence to 5 fg's before they got a TD. Our O line actually played well. Gee I saw why Gurley was rated so highly.

    Now to see if Fisher can finally, finally get us to win outside our division. We are off to play the packers away... Eeeek.

    Back from a short break with no phone reception so I missed the tips but I would've failed anyway. Vikes lost a close one at Denver but they played very well. Denver's pass rush is scary good but Peyton has dropped off a bit.

    A lot of close finishes in today's games ... 7 games decided by less than a TD (most within a field goal) Redzone couldn't keep up in the early games - still great viewing though.

    Many of the games carried a fair impact too ...

    • Biggest losers were the Eagles, Raiders, KC & probably Dallas
    • Biggest winners were Atlanta, Carolina, Denver & Cincinnati again whilst the Giants, Jets, Redskins, Chargers & the Rams all had important wins.

    Seattle should win comfortably tomorrow so a Lions win really would surprise.

    No points won this week in the tipping comp ...

    SeaHawks got away with one today. Can't believe the refs either didn't know the rule or didn't review that. Had to do one or the other.

    The Hawks defense still looks amazing but without Lynch at least the O line doesn't do enough to help Wilson or the run game. For the life of me I can't work out the Jimmy Graham trade.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
