All sensible (except for the 6 games part. Seems he's playing the year now).

I reckon though it's a more-or-less league-wide opinion that while Zeke is good, it's the OL that makes this team. They made two rookies of the year in Dak and Zeke. If they're all there, fit and playing... then I don't think it matters who they give it to. personally I have Boys at 12-4... possibly 14-2... at WORST 10-6 as you say, on the strength of that OL and Dak. Also I think their D will improve a lot. They've put a lot of work into it. Lee is still there, Lawrence, Taco. They've snuck up on us.

I'd add 2 extra wins and give them the division if Zeke doesn't get suspended. The OL is fantastic and any RB would put up yards for them but Zeke adds the passing game component as a back and is so versatile defenses can't get a read on him.

Haha, one swallow Dappa

Your Eagles have a long history of dropping games I want them to win and winning games I'd prefer they'd drop. I can't trust them

Solid win though

Ah ok. I thought it was more like the shudder you'd do cos you're picking the pies... lol

Meh. Pretty stinking horrible game. Lots to like, but more to build on.


From a quick look around the leauge a few take aways.

Rams- gee that defense was good, throw in Donald and they will be seriously good.

Andy Dalton- 4 interceptions and Bengals shut out, not a good start.

Kizer from the Browns looks like he could be a player at QB.

Carson Palmer - was as bad as Dalton. 

Cohen - Bears running back was awesome against Atlanta, one to watch.

TJ Watt- 2 sacks & 1 INT on debut.

Wentz - looked good, that opening TD was phenomenal.

Giants - from what I saw & the scoreline, looked pretty average

Elliott- didn't seemed to phased by he's offield today putting up over 100 

Atlanta winning with a sack on 4th & goal with 8 seconds left, my heart can't take sport anymore and I'm in my mid 20's!

Really liked the Rams today. And thought the boys have really turned up. Giants are a good side, and especially good D. Early days but they're my #1 side.

Weekend still belongs to KC though.

Do give my Jags a chance this week as long as Bortles isn't actually killed by Watt or Clowney. Interested to see how Fournette goes in his first game.

Good win by your lads ... especially at Houston.

Ahh the Bears go for a big comeback against the team that should've won the superbowl last year and then somehow drop 2 passes and can't get in with 4 goes from the 6. Lost Kevin White as well so now undeniably the worst WR group in the league. 

Hard to work out what is real and what is just a small sample size in week 1. 

So far I'm willing to believe in:
- Cleveland being a really plucky team and far tougher to beat
- Jacksonville's defense and running game
- The Rams defense
- The Colts are screwed with Luck

Wait and see time with a lot of other teams deserving or needing a 2nd viewing to see what's real.


Went first TD was a cracker.

 

Rams... Having WR is a thing huh... 

Gurley still. Struggled a bit but if Goff and the WR crew make good plays like yesterday it will spread the field for him so much more. Can't wwait to put Donald back in that D. Also good that all other div rivals lost.

 

Newton looks a shadow of the player he was.

Yup. I like the memes celebrating them being over .500 for the first time in 7 years.

Just saw the last quarter of the Chargers & Broncos... Pretty good finish, Chargers coming from 17 down to within 3, their D was huge in the last quarter. Not a fan of sides been able to call a timeout in between the snap and FG attempt... The rookie Chargers kicker nailed the first only to have another go and have it blocked, seems wrong.

Yeah I'd like to see only the players be able to call for a time out in any situation. That way it has to happen before the snap. Either way it was a horrendous attempt at a block by the Chargers player and it cost me my tips. 

That whole game featured a couple of teams who look pretty decent in some areas but also really sloppy and poorly coached by rookie head coaches. I think Kansas City and Oakland would be looking at that game last night and knowing they have to do take care of some things - Denver's pass D, Chargers edge rushers, keep Rivers in check, pressure Siemian - but overall knowing if they play smart they'll have a big advantage.


A number of the pundits reckon we need to see the how the teams are faring after 3 completed weeks ... however, even after week 1 there are a few teams who look like they've emerged or could threaten - Rams,  Raiders,  Vikings,  Ravens,  Panthers,  Eagles & KC.  The AFC South is up for grabs too.

Conversely, there's a few identifiable poor performers already.  The Colts look woeful without Luck and Cinci won't win games if their QB keeps getting QBR's of 0.6.  The Jets & Cleveland could have long seasons ahead and the Giants will need to find some form quickly.

The Re-match of the NFC Championship (Packers @ Falcons) on SNF should be a beauty but there's a number of other excellent match-ups this week (Eagles @ KC,  Pats @ Saints,  Vikings @ Steelers,  Dallas @ Denver,  Washington @ Rams and then MNF - Detroit @ Giants)

2 points on offer in the comp this week.  Arizona looks a monty but finding 2 other road winners might be tough going ... Here's Bill Simmons 'Guess the Lines' podcast as well (which may or may not help!)

He does. I nearly broke my desk at work thumping it with excitement when we drafted him.

Today's game was atrocious....

Although Watson's rushing TD was quite impressive though.   Don't know much about him but he looks like he can at least run well with the ball.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
