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

    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!

    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:

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
