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.

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
