Terrible news.

Gees his had an injury riddled couple of years... Dak Prescott has looked good in the pre season whether he can take that into the regular season or not...

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Yeah, he's been quite impressive by all accounts ... regardless, that division (NFC East) is always a total mystery anyway. 

Any team can win it but Dallas will miss Romo ... I picked them to win the division but I'll stick with the tip because they've probably still got just as good a chance to win it as the other 3 teams.

Be interesting to see how the Eagles go with their new QB (Wentz)

Been moving house so haven't been able to keep up with everything. Romo hurt again is not much of a shock. Is weeden still their back up? I'll post my predictions during the week as of now I think Oakland, Pittsburgh, and the Jets will be good and those packers look fit and firing again. Vikes O line is still a mess so I'm not so confident this year.

I don't think our season will even get off the ground.

Not long to go now ... final practice games on Thursday night and then we're into it.

In the meantime I'll post up all the playoff game highlights from last season ... 2 games at a time for the next week and a half.  The links will take you to youtube where you can full-screen the highlights.

Chiefs @ Texans AFC Wildcard

Steelers @ Bengals AFC Wildcard

Ouch, thats awful. Don't stress your back up QB will still probably be better than all three of ours. 

Remember Shaun hill? Pretty sure he was a ram for a while. It's all good my life is over but I'm fine.

Oh yeah.  I remember him...

In his defence we didn't have any wise recievers or an O line...

Now we have an Oline I think....

Rotten news mate ... I was expecting Teddy to take it to another level this season too.

Yeah I know it was only pre season but all of his plays were downfield throws of 20+ yards. The plan was to throw deep and run with AP opening up big plays with the play action passing game. This year will remind of the Christian Ponder era where we pass the ball not for yards but just to give AP a rest.

Aaaaaaaaaand Goff is number three on the starting QB.

Sigggggghhhhhhhhhhh

From memory these arrangements often start out this way but any change could happen quite quickly if the outcomes don't come up to expectations. 

Win early and Goff has to wait ... but if you lose games early then Goff may well get fast-tracked.

You think ? Mannion took majority of snaps today. Game 4 of pre season is a joke, it's literally a game 90% filled with players who will wind up on the practise squad... Jags held out 28 players from the Falcons game!

After completing 3 of 4 passes for 53 yards on the opening drive, he was a disturbing 3 of 12 for 14 yards with two turnovers on the final seven first-half possessions.

The Rams' quarterback of the future finished his first preseason 22 of 49 (44.9 percent) for 232 yards (4.73 yards per attempt), two touchdowns, two interceptions, three fumbles and a 55.8 passer rating.

Perhaps most telling, Goff has shown little awareness -- struggling with snaps, taking too many hits and failing to process at NFL speeds.

 

Only hope Fisher gets the sack week 2...

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
