Btw that no call on Watkins on 4th & goal for a hold was rubbish. Jones was all over him

Good year overall for the Rams, disappointing night.

good luck JV7.

Yep, not your night tonight Gorg although full credit to the Falcons.  Their big players had an impact and they got better as the game wore on.  Ryan managed the game well for Atlanta. 

The Rams will no doubt bounce back although this loss will sting.  The older heads in the organisation need to get around McVay & Goff.

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 

Yeah you guys are playing good D. Ryan will be much better for tonight. Played good solid O. And did so with Jones being solid and Sanu decent.

Yep. Bad call. But all in all the refs were good i thought.

Gotta sign Donald, make a call on Trumaine Johnson and Watkins.

I think Donald gets 100mil, Watkins re signs. Think Johnson will leave us flr more money.

 

Not confident about the Jags at all now.

All away teams winning so far...


I’m still coming to terms with today’s play calling. No Jet sweps, don’t think I saw Austin at all... no slants and sod all screens.

It wasn't pretty but the Jags are off to Pittsburgh. I reckon a lot of fans will travel as it is our strongest rivalry (alongside the Colts).

Need to offer more on offence. D was good as always  but vs Steelers the O needs to capatalise on the Ds work.

 

Panthers-Saints game was good. Panthers were much better than I expected tbh

Tipping we might all be tipping the same four teams... Vikes are the only team I'm giving a 50/50 chance too.

I cant see the eagles beating Falcons if Ryan plays smart again this week.

Foles will need to click this week and what faith I had early for him is gone.

AFC is just a warm up for Pats-Steelers unless injuries strike or the Jags D goes up a notch from amazing to exceptional and Bortles has a day out.

Falcons 27 Eagles 17

Patriots 41 Titans 10

Steelers 17 Jaguars 16

Vikings 27 Saints 23

Nagy the Head coach of the Bears.

Seems it was sorted a few days ago. Wonder if McDaniels and Matt Patricia from the Pats get head coaching jobs?

Patricia is the interesting one to me. His d is always solid but yoir opponents are usually trying to keep up with Brady. 

Not that a follow college all that much but man the city of Atlanta must have pi$$ed off the footballs somewhere.. First the SB now Georgia blow a 20-7 lead & lose the championship game in OT... Wow

Eagles over Atlanta? Do you think Foles will put it together o4 more that the Eagles D and special teams will hand it to their O to get it done?

No it's more than I don't believe Atlanta are that good away from their dome - the Rams were inept on the weekend too.  The Eagles all round game is quite good despite Foles not being very good.  If the Eagles use Foles the right way they can still win. 

Regardless,  it will probably be a close game and close games are often decided by a fumble/turnover/luck.  The Philadelphia D can hold out Atlanta's O and if they do that they're half-way there.

If the game was being played in Atlanta I'd be picking the Falcons to win by a TD.

ATM, I think Atlanta by a TD but tbh the weather will play a major factor as well.

Atlanta are favoured to win Gorg but -3 is only the equivalent of a field goal so it's more like a toss-up game or as the Americans like to call it ... a pick 'em game.

The Saints/Vikes game is the same ... the result could go either way and that won't be a surprise for the large majority of onlookers.

The Pats should win easily and the Jags biggest issue against the Steelers will be scoring (unless their defence can conjure up some points as they have been doing from time to time)  They might surprise though,  you never know. 

I made a case for the Eagles to win a playoff game or 2 (at home) when Wentz went down ... and as you said,  if the weather is inclement and if the game becomes a battle of the defenses,  the Eagles can certainly win.  It's the first game of the four this weekend (8.35am Sunday) but it's the game I'm most interested in as well as the Saints/Vikes game (8.40am Monday)

@Dappa Dan thoughts on this weekend at Philly ? Reckon the Eagles will hit the Falcons with the run. Ajayi ran shreds through us early in the year with Miami... I reckon the noise about Foles is a bit over the top, yeah he's no wentz but he's no slouch. The falcons record against back up QBs since I started follwing them has been horrendous. As the week goes on the less confident I've got. 

 

For some reason I am very bullish about the Jags this weekend.

  • 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.

    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.
