Good hold by the D.

Super nervous now, we are trying to be cute with throws when Gurley should be given that ball.

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

Both D's playing very well ... turnovers,  fumbles could decide this game.  Atlanta's running game not there and the Rams need to use Gurley more.

If we don’t put a drive together on this next series we won’t win, this is how we went vs a few teams this year where we didn’t get going in the first quarter and floundered the rest of the game and it looks mightily similar to that early Seattle game. 

Falcons are starting to move it a little, we have missed Ryan a few times now and he is making his throws, starting to look comfortable which worries the hell outta me. 

 

Wow 2 muffed returns in the first ... We need a TD here, got to take full advantage of thess turnovers


Cooper looked like he had no idea what to do when fielding that punt then. Normally he picks a line and goes, he looked like a deer in headlights there.

Thank god for Donald and Brockers.

 

Ryan has done well to hang on to the ball - they've come at him hard. 

 

 

This field is horrible. Both sides slipping everywhere


Why they replaced it always seems bizarre. It’s never good. Ever.

Good fight back from my boys.

And the commentators tell us about it every time Dallas play.

Don't they ever...

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.

Philly fans smiling a little smile...

I saw Freeman early in the game take off to the sideline, pushed out, and a couple of metres over the line is a slab  of concrete that he slipped A over T on. It boggles the mind.

Had 3 opportunities to force a kick and Falcons have got the first down. Gotta hold them to a FG. gotta keep it under one score.  


Was just writing how good the secondary from Atlanta have been, then Wood makes a great catch. 

Atlanta held on to the ball for 26 plays in that 3rd quarter ... playoff experience at work. 


Gurley g3ts us going, That sack cost us a shot at the end zone, got the game back to single score. Need to force a turn over or a quick out, cant let them take it up field and use clock.

So my thoughts on today’s game.

Pretty much everything that worried m happened.

Atlantas secondary were huge, the open field tackling was excellent.

Ryan was pretty good without being great. Played a little safe at times. But when the clutch plays were needed the good players stepped up. Ryan, Julio, Sanu.

to my Rams, Donald was amazing, Brockers until injured was also very good. Really hurt losing him.

Gurley was decent, but dropped so many catches. Woods good, same as Kupp. O line decent. 

Goff was pretty good in that he didn’t panic, hasn’t done stupid things and I think the experience today will set him up for next year. 

McVay I think today was average. Hardly called screens and did not run Gurley enough. He needs to learn from today and from all losses he has so far.

Special teams are usually a strength but they cost us the first 10 points and realistically the game. Cooper has been amazing all year but terrible today and that’s being nice.

 

Falcons can go to the championship game, Philly would not want the Falcons.

Good year overall for the Rams, disappointing night.

good luck JV7.

Hard luck Gorg... You are right though, have to be happy with the improvements made in year 1 under McVay,  the future is bright. I think the experience helped the Falcons & like Macca said they controlled TOP. Quinn gets the D playing right at the right time of year again. A foles lead Philly next opens it up a bit

  • 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.

  • 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.
