Bloody Seattle winning and we have the Eagles this week then go to Seattle.

Must win in Seattle even if we lose to the Eagles.

Would have helped us if the Eagles won tho.

 

Rams are looking decent but still so many holes, our D is either good v run or v passing. Not string8ng many games together that holds both. Hope it starts this week.

Yeah the race is on for the 1 & 2 seed in the NFC ... 2 teams have almost certainly won their divisions in the NFC  (Eagles & Vikings) and then it's down to the Rams & Seahawks for the West whilst 3 teams can still win the South. 

The good news for the neutrals is that a lot of the top teams are playing each other in the run in to the playoffs ... and it starts on Friday (Saints @  Atlanta) Your game vs the Eagles next week should be a cracker - and there's a lot on the line too.

The AFC is less interesting but teams in that conference can also get hot at the right time ... so the Chargers & Ravens could get on a run.

I was most impressed with Seattle,  New Orleans,  Minnesota,  the Rams,  Jacksonville (with Bortles),  New England & the Ravens today.  The Eagles did it tough but that game in Seattle will help them in the long run.  The jury is out on Carolina & Atlanta.

 

 

We have Eagles, @seahawks, @titans, niners

They have @jags, Rams, cowboys (zeke will be back), @ cards.

Interesting run for both, ours slightly harder I think. 

McAdoo & Reese both sacked - effective immediately

My god. The first good move they've made in ages.... and best of all for Macca.... Eli reinstated.

My beef was always about disrespecting a player who brought about the ultimate success ... Eli was that person but it's not like I'm enamoured with the bloke (even though it might look that way) I would argue just as fiercely for any number of people caught up  in identical situations

Anyway Dappa ... the Giants have one hell of a mess to clean up.

Stuff the giants!

Rams ahve a winning season!!!

 

Ogletree looks like he will miss stone games which is really bad for us.

Couple of very nasty helmet-to-helmet hits in today's game ... the sport is brutal enough without the need for these types of illegal hits to unsuspecting players. 

Brutality of Steelers-Bengals shouldn't be dismissed as 'AFC North football'

In all the news this season, the Giants dumpster fire might be the biggest. I mean... it couldn't be going worse for them.

I've been following since 2009. Is this the first cripple since then?

That's what I like to see - true colours!

There is nothing quite like the rivalries within the divisions in the NFL ... your Eagles need every win they can get in order to attain the 1 or 2 seed and you play both the Giants & Dallas in the run in.  That's on top of a visit to the Rams next Sunday.  No match is easy when bragging rights are at stake.

Couple of days ago Eagles were unstoppable with the #1 seed. Now, they lose to the Rams, they're hosting a wild card. How good is NFL!

But no... Everyone, even Eagles fans, is glad Eli's back on top. Sanity prevails. The used car salesman is out.

To the all important next 4 weeks... I'm not too worried. Having said that... lose to the Rams, you're gonna see batteries being thrown at the Linc.

There were some pretty awful hits this weekend. Gronks hit deserves a week. I hope it stands.

 No ogletree is going to hurt us.  Seems he did the injury in his TD celebration...

It's being reported that Shazier is able to feel all his extremities ... might be a career-threatening injury to his back though. 

The sport can be absolutely frightening at times.  The NFL really needs to clamp down on players leading with a lowered helmet to an unsuspecting players.  Hefty suspensions would help. 

Shazier contributed to his own injury but a re-education process needs to be enacted.  As previously stated,  the sport is brutal enough as it is.

We've spoken at length. It;s gonna take a career ender to make change. People are slow.

As far as news from the demonland perspective... this could be the furthest reaching since the concussion protocol etc...

And what's next. How does this affect our game? Braysh etc...

Gorg. This is it. Macca doesn't even understand what this is like. His team MIGHT be out of the playoffs for the first time since he was able to drive legally... ;)

For you and me though... This week is Gorg and Dappa week.

Bring it on.

What say you Rams?

At this time of the season the evening games can be bumped to accommodate better match-ups.  But I think it might be too late to reschedule the Eagles @ Rams game to SNF or MNF. 

The game might be on 7mate though ... they haven't listed the match-ups yet.  Check tomorrow.  Redzone is great but sometimes you want to watch a whole game when it's of this magnitude.  Even in standard definition.

You and Gorgo should have a sportsman's bet on the game.  I had one a ways back and had to have Trump's head as my avatar for a month.  It was torture :ph34r:

And you're right,  I've been spoilt as a Packers fan.  What I'd like is to have another hall-of-famer to follow Rodgers.  Is that being a tad greedy?

Is that a tad too greedy...

let me think... Yes. lol

Having said that. You can't look to that point until you're in the POST Rodgers era. You have another 5 years before that happens. He still has to rob Carson or Jared of a deserved NFC championship or two before you can look to the future.

I'll go with you on one thing though... the Avatar bet... I think it's sensible. I think it's fair. I think it's only the right thing to do for the all conquering "other" sports thread. Let's go @Gorgoroth... winners choice of Avatar?

I'll be honest. I'm not gonna feel the least bit ashamed to have Goff as mine. The kid has won me over completely. He even got me a win this week as my starting QB in fantasy.

It's gotta annoy and hurt a bit Dappa ... no soft landings on 'land

Here's a couple of likely candidates ...

I'll take either...

I think Jeff hurts more for Gorg...

I think the sting for an Eagles fan would be Goff. Winking and smiling like the California d--bag he is. ;)

Man. Look at him.

He coached the big apple to playoffs... Looking like he's a porno director from the 80s.

And the funniest part? Hue Jackson lasted longer than him.

For me? Sure. And for you? Hard to improve on Jeff Fischer.

So for how long?

  • 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.

    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?
