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.

That was a good play. One of a very few that happened all game long.

    Yep.

    Looking ahead, Houston might win their division if Watson is decent.  They'd have a chance regardless as the AFC South is wide open.

    The D of both teams was very good. If the Texans get their players back their O might be decent enough.

    Yep ... and such is the nature of divisional football, a team can win a division, get hot at the business end and win the whole thing.

    We've seen it happen with the Steelers,  Giants,  Packers and 1 or 2 others. 

    For that reason alone, the sport is fascinating.  It's like following 8 different leagues within the 1 big league.  It's a great system.

    I feel like everyone will pick very similarly this week. I'll take Pats, Cards and Titans.

    Same as last week, I'm always looking at a point of difference, hence I liked th Vikes this week.

    WOO HOO! My first points of the year thanks to Arizona being marginally less terrible than Indi.

     

    Meanwhile. KC. Damn fine football team.

    Why do we not have a fantasy comp for players on here?

    Ah damn, I've forgotten to do this tipping thing for the first two weeks. Rookie move!

    Who we got next week?

    Not to worry ... there are still a couple of others who haven't got off the mark.

    We could do it Dappa ... maybe a designed system where we don't have to ever come back here and adjust our line-ups.  Just pick our players, lock 'em in and see how it pans out. 

    Here's a idea that I thought up ... we all pick 2 x QB's,  2 x WR's,  2 x RB's,  2 x Kickers,  2 x TE's & 2 x Defensive players.  Bur then, we only count the fantasy score of 1 of each pair of players.  This allows for injuries and such-like. 

    Others might have better ideas but the above idea could take less than an hour for participants and that's the extent of the time needed. 

    The time consuming bit would be for whoever runs it :ph34r:

    A few observations ...

    • Atlanta have bounced back and they're the team to beat in the NFC ... however,  the Panthers might push the Falcons especially if they at least split their 2 games against Atlanta. 
    • Order is restored with the Pats doing it easy in the big easy
    • The AFC West division could turn out to be a real battle - KC,  Denver & Oakland all look the goods whilst the Chargers can play spoiler.  Carr looks terrific and Reid's teams always compete well
    • Baltimore could push the Steelers all the way in the AFC North.  They look solid,  Pittsburgh the same
    • Jay Cutler gets a win for Miami - whooda-thunkit?
    • The Rams drop a game they could easily have won ... the NFC West could be a tight division with Seattle not looking all that impressive either.
    • Packers outplayed but again,  the Falcons came out firing and full credit to them.  The scoreboard flattered Green Bay in all honesty.
    • The Cowboys came down to earth with a thud although playing in Denver is nearly always tough.  Siemian continues to impress for the Broncos. 
    • For divisional purposes,  I'm hoping that Eli & the Giants can get it done tomorrow.

    Rams D was horrible against the run again, Wade will rectify this over the coming weeks I'm sure but we got smashed early. 

    I honestly think Goff is starting to look like a decent pick as QB. Kupp looks like a great pick as a WR, Gurley was back in form. After watching decent chunks of the game I think with another 10 odd games together we probably win that game. I think the changers. 4-3 to 3-4 is leaving bigger gaps we are not use to but will tighten up.

    Got the niners on Friday. Looking forward to a full game.

     

    Falcons looked good, but I'll disagree Macca, I don't think the panthers will be a serious threat after what I've seen.

    Seattle and cards look very average and Inthink our div is very very open.

    Raiders look bloody solid. 

    Broncos also look like a team to beat. Dismissed the Cowboys at times.

    shattered that Bradford missed the Vile's game, wouldn't have tipped them.

    Yeah Gorgo ... the Panthers have got a tough road schedule.  You're probably right.

    Tampa might be decent though ... they're getting talked up.

    Buccs looked great. I've always had a soft spot for them.

    Love how Beckham wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL. I wouldn't even have him the highest paid WR. Giants looked very poor on offence today, their D was solid enough especially without Jenkins.

    Losing your two starting tackles was always going to make life tough for Rodgers wasn't it.... Having said that he gave up 14 points with unlike Rodgers plays, that interception he threw right on the half and the forced fumble (which was line ball) whether those mistakes were due to the pressure he felt with the makeshift O-Line or not.. I'm okay with how we are looking, I honestly find myself in some sort of feeling nothing, is this what it's like to following a side when winning more games then not ? Or I just may be been reserved after what happened last season...

    Falcons were always going to be a weird one really season as no one knew how badly the loss last year scared them. Panthers wwent to a heap after their loss.

    The Panthers are a weird one. I wasn't that impressed with them in week 1. They may well have the most fierce defense around though and Luke Kuechly is back to his old self.

    • 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.
