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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
