The detroit win sticks out for me. Luck got a whole lot of yards and TD's but their defense couldnt help them out. Thought chicago wouldve been a bit better or are houston with a new QB a tad underrated? 

Yep as has been said missed FG's are a big factor aswell as the extra point. My boy blair walsh missed a few by a long way today. Gotta get him back indoors.

I tipped the Lions. Indy have some bad injuries and suspensions, so I thought Stafford could make plenty of plays. They tried to lose it with the missed extra point at the end but got the job done. I don't think either of those teams will be good, but I like the Lions more because they were bad last year and got better, where as Indy are a mess outside of Luck.

It seems the Bears were good for a half, but against a decent Houston defense the offense just ground to a halt. They double teamed Jeffery and with no Forte or Bennett there's no one else to make a play. The defense dug in for a half but with a weak secondary they can't get too creative and get after the QB. The Texans rookie WR Fuller was great and scorched the Bears. And if the Bears can't run the ball this year they won't win many games. If they do establish the run then they have enough in other places to test teams

 

Wentz is the other big story along with Jameis Winston ... both looked impressive.

Yeah he was good from the 1st qrt on. He was all at sea in the first qrt, although the Falcons didnt record a sack he was hurried & hit a lot. Once he took the best the Falcons pass rush had he made some huge plays. His going to be a good QB for a long time

Rams... Wow... I feel for you Gorgoroth :( 

Im on the sack the coach bandwagon already. Sorry gorgoroth im sure you are already on board. The rams have shown glimpses of what they can and they did so when their division was the best in the nfl. Their offense is a mess and i remember the game against the vikes last year where every play was a screen pass or run. I know its week 1 but a fresh start in LA with a new qb and coach wouldve been exciting.

From what I saw today their offense was absolutely shocking... 185 total yards on offense & 20% 3rd down conversion, all padded by some late plays when the game was gone. Considering Keenam first drive was okay, it leaves a lot of poor play between first & last drive.

Your right CFH, they should have started afresh in LA with a new QB & coach. The whole thing just has a bad stigma to it from the past, a fresh start would have given them a new look. How are you supposed to win fans over with a performance like that ? Whats even more scary is the 49ers are coming off a poor season and weren't tipped to scale any great heights this year. Goff should start from here on even if he isn't 100% ready, the fans need some sort of hope.

My summary of the Rams.

Penalties as bad as ever.

Oline - pathetic

D - very average

Gurley - was killed by a great dline and terrible calls.

Still no wide recievers.

Keenum is a terrible QB.

Offence - lets throw a horizontal... well that didnt work... what should we try next... I know!! A horizontal!

Fucken [censored]!

Fisher should have been fired two years ago but some how this [censored] still has a fucken job! 

Sack the offence coaches too. 

The only thing Fisher did in the off season was rape our secondary and make it worse.

 

Fuckk me I hate Fisher!

Paul roos is free gorgoroth 

 

I've been on the sack Fisher band wagon for years.  We always relied on special teams and D to acore our points or get us in range.

Fisher is a [censored] of thehighest order, I shall re name him Neeld.

Such is the nature of things, I probably won't be picking the Seahawks next week - they are at the Rams :ph34r:

Anyway, the Steelers looked great ... Big Ben, Williams & Brown went lights out with some big numbers.  And they've still got Bell to come back - they're very strong at RB and Ben is A class.  Pittsburgh are going to be hard to beat if they can stay relatively healthy.

 

Points tally in the comp

1 - JV7,  Gorgoroth,  cowboy_from_hell,  DeeSpencer

0 - The usual bunch

 

2 points up for grabs this week .., weeks 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 & 15 are all also worth 2 points whilst week 17 is worth 3 points.

That's a lot of two point weeks.

Was it usually that many?

Steelers look good. Big Ben is a force if he can stay healthy.

Dont worry Macca, Seattle will kill us this week. We have 5 away games in our first 7 weeks, one is in  (London).

Yeah I ended up making the bonus weeks the odd numbered weeks from week 5 ... it gives a chance for people to catch up or even join in later on.  It's 1 extra bonus week over last year although it does seem more than that.

I reckon that settles the make up of the comp for now. 

The Rams record within the division has been very good in recent years and they do bounce back just when you least expect it - I've a feeling you might win against Seattle but I'm not a great tipster :ph34r:

I'm an atheist... I  have no faith!!! And what is Jesus's symbol... a fish... fisher... flogger... [censored]. Diety I dislike that man as a coach!!!

Ravens

Packers

KC


A bit late but here's a free copy of the Sports illustrated NFL Preview edition (click on 'Novafile' then follow the links)

 

Brockers re-signs for 3 years which is good, but I read that Fisher was also meant to have been given another 3 years and it was meant to be announced the same time...

I might need to give up on the Rams for 3 years... 

He truly knows some dodgy stuff anoit the owner and GM. 

Baltimore

Green Bay

Seattle

 

Bills fire their OC 2 games in... If only the falcons had the balls to do that & [censored] Shanahan & his west coast offense off!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
