Given that is an award for the regular season only it would have been interesting to see how Wentz would have fared if he missed the first 3 games of the year and then played the rest of the season unimpaired (the reverse of what actually happened)

And probably what will happen next year.

And yeah, good point.

Wentz hardly had an off day in the 13 games that he played ... he was probably very good to outstanding in 10 - 11 games. 

Those numbers would probably measure up quite well against Brady & Gurley but Wentz got injured at the wrong time for an award such as this.  What happens at the end of the regular season stands out more ... that's why I reckon Gurley can win the award.

We'd probably have any number of Brownlow comparisons through the years where similar scenarios have happened.

Also there's the same factor that made me say Zeke should have won rookie of the year last year. What more can a rookie RB do to win... I know QBs have it harder etc... But still. If he couldn't win it with that, you can NEVER win it. Bit like Gurley this year. His numbers are just crazy, and almost never had an off day. What more can an RB do?

Speaking of rookie of the year... who do we have? Has to be Hunt I guess?

Here's a good article that covers all sorts of categories

Bill Barnwell makes a good case for Kamara but it's line ball between him and Hunt. 

Barnwell's 2017 NFL awards: Picks for MVP, best rookies, more

Quote

Without considering the order in which those yards were gained, a look at the yardage gained from scrimmage by both players is telling. Hunt was a workhorse for the Chiefs, racking up 1,786 all-purpose yards and 11 touchdowns across 326 touches. Kamara, meanwhile, was nearly as productive in a smaller role. He had only 201 touches on offense for the Saints, but they resulted in 1,554 yards and 13 touchdowns.


Gurleys numbers are even better when you see how many games he didnt finish. He was benched in the fourth multiple times or much reduced snaps as the games were won.

Be interesting to try and pick the two players for each team that are the ones they couldnt not afford to lose. Rams would be  Donald and Gurley.

By the same token players do get used more in certain game scripts. How many times were Rams miles ahead, blowing teams out, and then they lean on the run to make longer drives? But yeah... I wouldn't complain if Gurley got the nod. Be a nice break from all the QBs, certainly.

Good game.

NFC East...

Giants: OBJ and Collins I'd say. Eli probably third.

Redskins: Cousins, and maybe Norman?

Cowboys: Obviously Dak and Zeke. Lee a very close third. Bryant has dropped off for now... their O line should feel hard done by too.

Eagles: Wentz and Cox. Interesting that your QB ISN'T one of your two. That's a pretty good position to be in.

Yeah some are obvious, others not so.

Dallas Id go Zeke and Lee. Their record with and without Lee is amazing.

Yeah, it is insane that one defender makes that much of a difference.

Thinking about the Rams game and how we can win it.

I was not wanting the Falcon# as I think they are our worst match up, very good WR, a good running back and good Run D. On top of that a QB who can match it with the best normally. 

For us to win, we need to get Gurley running good amounts early, this is key. We need to make this a shoot out and our FG attempts worry me big time.

Must pressure Ryan early and hard. If he has time to pick out Jones and Sanu then that means we play a 6-7 D line which Freeman will cruse on through. Big pressure on Ryan means quick throws which hopefully gives our secondary a chance and less likely of big throws down field.

Must contain Freeman in the line. Can’t let them run the ball outside of Donald and Brockers.

 I think we have a good chance to win, but of all the away teams I think the Falcons have the best chance on the road.

How did the booth not review that drop by Kelce when he got hit?

ball looked out before he hit the ground.

Very good summary Gorg... Obviously our biggest challenge will be to keep Gurley in check & force the game onto Goffs shoulders. Our defense has been playing reasonably well lately but stopping Gurley is a whole different beast. The run game could be where it's won or lost, if we can establish the run which the Rams have struggled against & take away Gurley we win. Easier said then done. Goodluck ;) 

This cheifs/titans game has come alive

Lucky for Tennessee he was down...

 

Kansas City Chokers losing at home in a play off again. Wow.

What worries me is if they try and get cute and play through other players as the Falcons will be focussing on Gurley and not getting the job done.

We need to use Gurley and Austin in some jet sweeps early I think.

Victory formation for the Titans ... they'll go to the Pats next week unless the Bills win.  KC imploded again.

Smith goes now. Question for me is what sort of pressure now goes onto Andy Reid. They go on these great runs, then slumps way too often.

Why the hell did we not run it at 2&2 or 3&2? 

This is what I was worried about, trying to be too cute.

 

GIVE THE BALL TO GURLEY!!!

 

Big moment there ... the ball was like a piece of soap.

Falcons need to take advantage here

Can’t plan for it hitting the foot like that. Thought Peterson had recovered then realised it had squirmed out again... sigh

  • 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

    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.
