Anyone pick Buffalo?

Gee whiz the Rams are fun to watch.

Gorg you should be a proud Ram. They were absolutely superb. Goff has come of age. Gurley is a star again. And your D was good when it needed to be.

 

Just got to watch the end of the Rams game! Heart is pumping!!! Hell yes!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the other games when I get home from work.

Just glad to see us win in Dallas. Second half D was huge. And Goff moved the ball well with no turnovers as well. Man I'm pumped!

He looked even better than he did in weeks 1-3... Didn't panic, made every decision a winner. He'll probably be the biggest story this week.

Oh man. I'm gonna miss my 3 successful picks with a FG to end the game here.

I had this feeling they'd beat us... We were sorta due.We were lucky to get over Chicago & Detroit, and McDermott has the Bills defense playing well.. Our offense still put up 400 total yards but the turnover battle was lost 3-0 the Bills way, which was the difference.. My day was ruined heard the winners announced on Triple M this morning!!!!

Oh for gods sake... You shouldn't be listening to MMM or SEN at the moment. Just Tigers nonsense.

And yeah. Beating Falcons that way, keeping Ryan ineffective... that has to jump you into a position of respect. I still thought Falcons had them at the end too. NFC just got nice and messy. No more undefeated teams. KC the only one left league wide.

 

New England,  Dallas & Atlanta all lose at home after going in as hot favourites. 

A week is definitely a long time in this sport. 

Not sure who the biggest winners are this week but the Bills,  Rams,  Lions,  Eagles,  Broncos,  Steelers & Panthers are all now sitting at 3 & 1 (along with the Falcons,  Packers & KC [3-0] )  If I had to pick a team to watch it might be the Panthers ... but the Rams,  Eagles,  Bills & Lions are all looking good.

As for the standout players ... Winston,  Watson,  Goff,  Gurley,  Bell & Newton all had big days.  Watson is the big story for mine - big numbers and he looks the goods.

Hunt will add his name right at the top of that list tomorrow.

Yeah, terrific player.  At both RB & WR too.  Amazing talent. 

You'd be thinking KC at home but Washington have been decent so far.  The Redskins passing yards are up there whilst KC passing defence is allowing 257 yards per game.

KC to win but it might be a close one.

All depends on who turns up. Bad Skins, they lose. Skins from last weekend, they'll edge them. What a weird and wonderful NFC East this year. Skins and Eagles supposed to be afterthoughts, third and fourth... They're now 3-1 and 2-1 (could be 3-1)... with Dallas and Gianst 2-6 combined. Crazy.

Actually, if the news isn't how good the Rams were, it's how bad the Giants are. Has anyone ever made playoffs from 0-4?

Wow. One team ever. Chargers in '92 went 0-4 then went 11-1 to make it.

Arnie must have got them going ...

 

Bloody jags stunk it up for me.

Pretty chuffed with the Rams still. I was hoping for a colts win and niners to beat the cards for more breathing space, not to be.


Quite a good game today ... if Josh Doctson hangs on to that catch with 50 seconds left Washington would have probably won the game. 

KC's 461 yards of total offense was impressive though.  Both QB's were good.  Hunt is a real mover - he's got a terrific step that beats defenders.

From NFL.com:

"Sean McVay is a stud. And he has the Rams (3-1) playing brilliant, winning football. At the quarter mark of the season, the Rams are clearly the team to beat in the NFC West. Yes, over the Seahawks. Forget preseason picks. I truly think the Rams can win the West this year. And this is what happens when you replace a bad coach (Jeff Fisher) with a good one."

They make a lot of stuff up, and get behind any team who has a good win like they're a superbowl team. This time though, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Rams are the real deal. And their defense still hasn't gotten going.

Settle in Gorg. For this season and probably a few more to come. You're going to be having a lot of fun.

Agree, was a good game to watch. I like watching both teams. A lot of injuries have occurred this week. Especially to Atlanta losing Jones and Sanu. Massive loss.

Yeah all media love to jump on. We have Seattle at home this week. Win that and I'll start to believe a little bit., ?

I think all of us here have reason to be optimistic about our teams chances in the NFC, looks like an even season.. I know sides get hot towards playoffs and go on a run is usually how it goes but reckon we'll all be there abouts come the last few weeks

You said the same thing about Dallas. lol

Fast forward to the superbowl, Rams vs KC, and you'll say "Gee I dunno, KC are good... win that and I'll start to believe a little bit."

Yeah that's true, we're all a bit spoilt right now. Although, it is early days. Last year Eagles were 3-0, then lost to Dallas badly and went 2-9... So early days.

Do you blame me... ha ha

Nah, tbh I think we are playing well, we have beaten one good team (cowboys), and two average teams and lost to a good team but did pretty well against them. 

We have started well a few times before so I’ll keep my powder dry for a little bit longer ?

Heh. Yeah. I get that totally, I'm doing the same with my boys.

It is worth saying every year the Rams do a little something, like Gurley's first year, or when Donald started producing... I took one look and would yawn and say "next." Not this year though. You literally couldn't ask for one more thing from the offense. The OC, QB, RB, wideouts, slots... OK maybe you could use a bit more from TEs... But tbh, how are you supposed to give them the ball with Gurley getting 90+ receiving yards... in a game where he topped 100 rushing... AND you have Kupp, Watkins and Woods who need to feed? And not only all that... but they were clutch too. Against last year's NFC East champs.

Looking at the power rankings... Eagles at 3, I laughed. Rams at 10, I stopped reading.

The good thing I’m seeing is Watkins copping th3 better coverage, then that shifts to Kupp and free Watkins up who then had his best game with the Rams, then this week they went back to Watkins.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Feels a lot like the demons midfield. Send someone to Tracca, Jones, Oliver... then Viney gets loose.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
