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.

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

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
