What a crap article.... For one the Rams have beaten 2 sides in their divison who were highly fancied coming into the season. Two, who cares that they are 3-1 & the same as the Pats, surely this reporter knows that in the NFL sides have easier schedules, harder schedules, to be 3-1 doesn't mean your on the same level. Like I've come to work out all you have to do is win your divison... The rams have beaten the 2 sides tipped to fight out the divison, surely the reporter can give some credit where it's due because for all his negatives they should be positives the Rams are getting it done with Keenum as QB & Gurley not firing. 

I agree with some of the article. We are not a great team, I for one am stoked to be 3-1 but by no means am I thinking playoffs. Our D isnt as good and our O is still very poor, but somehow we are getting the job done. I still think Fisher is not the answer.  

Our problem hasnt been winning in our division. Its beating other teams. We have the Bills this week. Giants, Pats, Panthers over the next 8.

    Carolina have dropped off the face of the earth. There was always talk of Newton but last year they had a great defense with an attitude to match. Losing Norman to Washington hurts on the field but it seems they have lost all their swagger as well.

    And in my mind that's the rams problem. Most bad teams will lose in bad fashion and keep losing.  Fisher seems to lose and the team look flat and directionless. Then come some wins from no where and fisher is safe. This year the division  is up for grabs and I hope LA have found their groove.

    I'm truly torn, I want us to win but I don't think Fisher is the coach to take us forward. We may be the swans under Paul Roos, just a dour, ugly football team. But if we win a superbowl I'm ok with that. :)

    Vikes keep going. No sacks this week. I would love to see them break the total sacks record held by the 85 bears but I don't think that'll happen. OBJ had 23 yards receiving. Something this defense does is shut down the number 1 receiver. I don't think the vikes are there yet but the NFC is a open race at the moment.

    Vikes were good. 

    Beckham is too easily distracted and put off his game.  

    Vike D pressured Manning to the point he was grounding balls 2 seconds before he needed to.

    Points tally in the comp

    1 - JV7,  Gorgoroth,  cowboy_from_hell,  DeeSpencer

    0 - The usual gang

    We're up to week 5 and this week there's 2 points up for grabs (same for weeks 7, 9, 11, 13 & 15) ... week 17 carries 3 points.  Another tough week though, all the same.

    Oh this weeks games are horrible to tip. Most home teams should win...

    Might have to chose an upset or two.

    Bengals

    Not sold on the cards even though they have to show something but Stanton looks like he could be the starter with Palmer out with concussion

    Did not expect to go into Denver & win... Critics will say without Siemian their offense struggled but Lynch was under the pump all day from our pass rush, yeah Siemian would have done better but the Broncos Oline was horrible. Our Oline was awesome & the 1-2 coleman freeman punch stood up with Julio been quiet... I'll reserve my excitement for this team they fell in a whole last year although beating both superbowl sides from last year in consecutive weeks is encouraging... On to Seattle! Did we all miss out on the tipping again this week ?

    Just saw the fake punt attempt by the Rams Gorgoroth... Thoughts  ?

    I'm taking Atlanta seriously. Denver like the vikes win with defense first and then with a reliable offense. Atlanta look the goods. So many questions after this week. Are Dallas for real? What's happened to Cincinnati? Can Cleveland find a healthy QB on planet earth? Is Brady human? Is 1 point enough to take out the tipping comp?

    On Dallas, is Romo a certaint starter when he is fully fit ? Prescott performed well again. Will be interesting to see how they handle it..

    That's a hard one. You can't fault Dak but he Has had the running game to see him through. I suppose the earlier Romo starts the earlier he gets injured.

    Not out best attempt, but we do have a good record with them.

     

    Missing 3 of our starting Dline hurts, our secondary is poo. What I would give to still have McLeod and Jenkins in Rams colours. 

    Gurley is still getting smashed as our oline is plop.

    This monday night game is horrible... Turnovers, bad play calling, missed field goals, over thrown passes, under thrown passes. The bucs kicker whom they traded up to get with their 2nd pick has problems, missed 46 & 33 yad FG tonight & is 3 from 7 this year!!

    I've not watched it.  Still too depressed after seeing Trumaine Johnson injured and Jenkins playing well for the Giants...

    The Packers oline are amazing. They protect Rodgers so well.

    We're out of synch though and need to get better in a hurry.  Rodgers is nearly always rusty after a bye or a week off but he's still a ways off his best, all the same.  The Giants were even more unimpressive. 

    I might even pick your Rams this week ... these are the sort of games that the Rams win.

    The Falcons are flying ... some very impressive wins in this run and your schedule starts getting easier soon  

    3 games clear of the Panthers ... Carolina's season is just about shot already.  Who predicted that?

    Ha!  Prescott is making the decision to bring in Romo a difficult one. 

    Nice position to be in, all the same. 

    Anyway, your Vikings are 5 & 0 without Teddy & AP. Amazing. 

    Gonna be hard to chase down by the looks of it.

    • 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.
