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

So for how long?

For you. My mate who is Philly hates the cowboys, thought it may be a rivallry?

Tbh the worst two for me woukd be Fisher or Sherman.

Both make me want to puke. 

Two weeks is good.

Yeah. We can't be posting on MFC threads with those.

DONE!!!

[Gorgoroth 13,064]

So choose a pic of Sherman or Fisher of we lose. It will kill me but it needs to be horrible ?

1 Point only on offer this week but it's a vital point for the top 3 in the tipping comp ... the rest of us are playing for pride and a possible podium finish.

6 big game match-ups this week ... with a lot riding on a number of other games as well.  Dallas,  Detroit & Green Bay can all re-enter the playoff picture if all 3 win and a few other potential wild-card teams all lose.  Those 3 teams (Carolina,  Atlanta & Seattle) all face tough opposition.  It's probably the week of the season so far with so much at stake. 

Avatar's are on the line in the biggie ... Rams vs Eagles,  Goff vs Wentz,  Gorgo vs Dappa.  Cowboys logo vs Sherman or Fisher's noggin.  Philadelphia have been installed as 2.5 point favourites but I reckon it's a 'pick-em' game. 

Friday's game (Saints & Falcons) could be a barnburner.  Atlanta are going to have to be at their free scoring best to match New Orleans. 

Meanwhile,  Rodgers is getting ready for week 15.  Surely the Packers couldn't possibly lose to Cleveland.  Surely not.  Lose to a team that is tanking? 

Anyway,  all will be revealed by late Monday arvo (oz time)

That's a vital win by the Falcons ... Saints walked away with a number of injury concerns as well.  I listened to the 2nd half and it was no surprise to see the outcome of the match decided by an interception.

The Atlanta win makes it doubly hard for Dallas,  Detroit & Green Bay now (in terms of wild-card spots)  The Falcons have beaten all 3 teams so hold the head-to-head advantage. 

There's still a bit to play out though ... we might see a few teams end up on 10 wins in the NFC.

Huge play by Jones to haul in the interception... Not the norm seeing Brees throw a pick in that situation. I still don't rate us, Ryan was pathetic today. Saints lost up to 7 players during the game and they still should have won. Kamara was the biggest loss in the first quarter...

If we make it we'll just be making up the numbers, still a lot to play we need to win out @tampa @NO & Carolina to take the divison, 10 wins might not get you there either. Big few weeks ahead

Yeah,  now that I've seen that fabulous catch by Deoin Jones,  I'm not sure that it's all on Brees at all (the loss)  You should beat Tampa (although nothing is ever certain) and then it's the Panthers & Saints to finish.  

If you can get to 10 wins that should be enough ... a win against the Panthers would ensure you'd hold the tie-break against most or all of your wild-card rivals. 

But if you win out I believe you will win the division.

[Gorgoroth 13,064]

Bizarre but good game to watch. Saints unlucky with injury, Falcons did a great job inspite of Ryans decision making. 

Can't wait for the rematch in two weeks!

Eagles @ Rams game is on 7mate from 8.30am Monday morning.  Vikings @ Carolina is the 5.00am game on 7mate.

That's right,  you're out of metro. 

So the free-to-air channels are different in the country yeah? 

Redzone is great but there's nothing like watching a big game from go to whoa.

Pats Cowboys and Eagles... fingers crossed my boys come through...

If there is no wind, absolute perfect weather i might get it on and off, but yeah, otherwise if it aint on foxtel I dont get it.

Nezt year we get nbn tower running so prob subscribe to game pass again. I only have foxtel for afl and nfl.

Think Seattle are going to thump Jacksonville tomorrow.

Wentz knee....

Rams will win. Eagles will be in real trouble now. Apparently doesn't look good.

Yeah Eagles camp saying ACL. They were making all those noises within 10 minutes of him going off.

He took one more play, record breaking Eagles TD to Jefferey... ridiculous play... unbelievably gutsy staying in the pocket that long. Insane throw. Then done...

What a horrible season for injuries.

[Macca 17,050]

That's rotten luck for Wentz & Eagles fans ... he would have had thoughts of leading Philadelphia in the SB this season.  It's just the worst type of injury too (if it is the ACL)

On his way to the MVP as well - I just hope he makes a full recovery.

After his 4th, the conversation was seriously about him and Brady as 1 and 2... with Wilson coming up quickly.

Given the fact they have the 1 seed again now, and only the Giants, Oakland and Dallas to come... This could be the worst thing to happen to the Eagles ever.
