Bloody Giants... Ruined my hopes! Oh well can't rely on other teams winning and losing to get into the playoffs, we had more then our chances especially at 5-0! One game left looking forward to the playoff race and then the playoffs.. Haven't decided which team to adopt yet!

    Didn't help that the Giants had nothing to play for and Beckham was out ... all the same, the Vikings probably would have won anyway. Bridgewater was very good and for most of the year they've been a very honest, consistently good team.

    Next week at Lambeau is an interesting scenario considering the loser possibly gets the easier wild-card game (at Washington) Seattle could rest a few starters against Arizona as a win for them would be hard fought and not entirely necessary. They might have already decided that the 6 seed will suffice.

    Leaderboard in the comp (notables only)

    10 - Gorgoroth

    9 - cowboy_from_ hell, JV7, Georgiou R.R. Martin

    7 - Macca

    Week 17 games ... all to play for this week with 3 points on offer.

    Finding 3 obvious road winners in week 17 could be a little difficult. You'd reckon that the teams that have to win, will win but ... all the games are divisional games so there's sure to be some close finishes.

    Anyway, good luck to all.

    Since I in front I think this three points in the last round is a terrible idea... Ha ha

    Yeah, the good news is you will win gold or silver so ... at least you won't win another bronze :ph34r:

    Looking at the week, there's any number of potential road winners but none that could be called absolute certainties. A number of teams could rest their starters too - week 17 always throws up some surprises.

    It's probably the most interesting week 17 for quite a while in terms of how the playoff seedings could change (especially the 1 & 2 seeds in both conferences)

    Got no idea who to tip this week. I think Minnesota might bust balls to get a win even though as macca pointed out it gives us Seattle instead of Washington. Washington and Seattle might bludge this week. I'll take St.Louis because if they lose to San Fran after beating Seattle a certain Rams fan on here might lose his mind. Good luck to you all.

    Detroit

    Pittsburgh

    St.Louis

    3rd tip was hard, but had to mix it up and go different from the other contenders.

    3 head coaches fired so far - Eagles, Titans, Dolphins.

    Cleveland will be next.

    Then we wait and see on Detroit, Indiana, St Louis, San Diego. San Fran, Can't rule out New Orleans. Plus the Giants.

    Cowboys apparently won't change.

    I'll go with 8 teams looking for a new permanent coach by the end of the week. Could be more. Brutal.

    And we have a winner in the tipping comp!

    Congratulations Gorgoroth and well played ... in the end, you needed your own team to lose in order for you to win (go figure) ... that Rams/49ers game going to O/T to decide things added to the drama! ... 'cfh' was that close :ph34r:

    Anyway, well played to all the participants ... any of the notables could have won in the last week.

    If we get enough takers, we can do another post-season comp as well ... "traditionally" we've added the potential scorelines in the post season - a tradition initiated by 'pantaloons'. The post season comp gives 1 point to any winner (home or away) with 3 points on the line for the Super Bowl.

    Final Tally (notables only)

    10 - Gorgoroth

    Congrats Gorgoroth, bittersweet tho, those Rams continue to frustrate the [censored] out of you! Tomsula sacked by the 49ers, they don't mess around in the NFL one year and out (if only we did this with neeld) Tomsula never really seemed to be head coach material. Packers struggling atm, there offense is a shadow of its once great self... Not sure what the Falcons do in the off season but they must do something, Matt Ryan had his worst season when he should have been in his prime, throwing interceptions left, right & centre... They can't afford to let him go due to contract but him and Shanahan must get the offense right in the off season

    Can I get "World champion NFL Demonland tipper" as a official signature? ?

     

    Cheers guys, love this tipping comp. 

    def in post season one.

    Surely with the loss to the Niners they have to sack fisher, surely.

    I long for the day of a competent QB and head coach.

    I even wore my rams hat today... Flogging Rams!!!

    It's good to see my beloved Rams annoy others as much as me ?

    Jump on the sack Fisher bandwagon!!!

    Vikings far too good and are fully deserved division winners ... Packers were terrible though and it was a miracle that we were still in the game at the finish.

    So, the Vikes now host Seattle and Green Bay go to Washington ... in the end, a Vikings win means they face a hot Seattle and the Packers would probably rather face Washington more so than Minnesota (even though the Washington game is on the road)

    I'd be surprised if we could defeat Washington all the same ... as JV7 mentioned above, we are a shadow of our former selves. There's is no real continuity to our game mainly because our wide receivers and tight ends can't create separation even on a semi-consistent basis. It's been an issue all season which hasn't got any better. Rodgers is more often than not out of the pocket looking for someone to throw it to (often to no avail)

    Still, we're in the playoffs and as we've seen on a number of times previously, anything can happen in January in the NFL.

    In other news the Jets blew their playoff chances whilst the Steelers could cause some damage in the AFC. The Pats drop to the 2 seed with an untimely loss whilst Denver may well have dropped to the 3 seed (without a week off) but now find themselves in the 1 seed position with home field all the way through to and including the AFC Championship game (if they make it that far)

    Next week's playoff games (AEDT)

    Sunday 8.20am - Kansas City @ Houston

    Sunday 12.15pm - Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati

    Monday 5.00am - Seattle @ Minnesota

    Monday 8.40am - Green Bay @ Washington

    Good to know that Stan and Fisher are trying their best to ruin the Rams.

    fisher to coach next year and Fisher expects Case Keenum to re-sign and be the starting QB...

    Soooooo, I've written off play off hopes for the Rams...

    So Rams, Chargers & Oakland all apply to move to LA.. Little bit surprised by Oakland. What's your thoughts Gorgoroth ? Happy for the Rams to move ?

    • 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.
