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.

 

Cards

Pats

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


New England

Philly

Buffalo 

With zero confidence ...

Patriots

Eagles

Bengals

Pats Philly Cincy


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
