Biggest disappointment today was the Jets not ticking over 50. Had their chance to late but took the knee. Weak. Does keep with the philosophy of not running up the score.

Just before the end of the game they went for it on 4th down. lol

I've always hated this concept in the NFL... Really don't understand it, put them to the sword!

 

Might post up the lines late Tuesday's to get it out of the way ... some like to post their tips early as well.  2 points on offer this week as it's the first of the bonus weeks - other bonus weeks ... 5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15 & 17.  Good luck!

Hope it's a good building year for J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!! Darnold has looked promising so far. Was hoping we would get Mack he is exactly what we need but oh well, Bears lucked out with that one.

Top rate start for your Jets and a real good start for Darnold - got picked off with a return TD with his first ever throw but he joins exalted company in Brett Favre in that department.  Did well from then on though.

Highest winning margin (31pts) in Darnold's first game too since ... Tom Brady in 2001.  Heady stuff!

Your defence took Detroit apart with 4 picks as well.  Apparently they got a read on Stafford's play-calling (hand signals) so kudos.

I already hate the the new helmet rule but more so the new rule of not landing your body weight on a QB. that hit on Rothelsberger was perfect, if Ben holds it that long h3 deserves the hit and the player who prob weighs half as much as Big Ben landing on him.

That rule is absolute rubbish at first I thought they were being called for late hits but then I realised no it's every tackle you're not allowed to land on the QB. Youve gotta protect vulnerable players but that's just swinging it far too far in the QBs favour. NFL want to protect their skill players though to make it more interesting for tv

Oh and what a shellacking by the Jets!!! Couldn't believe it especially after Saviour Sam threw a pick 6 on the first play if his career. I can't remember the Jets ever putting up that many points - they probably have I just can't remember.

Gonna be a long season for the Lions was nice to see Patricia looking like a stunned mullet on the sidelines, not so easy without Belichick/Brady helping you out

Yep our D was great, Derron Lee (i think it was) got a pick 6 of his own and we also returned a punt for a TD which hasn't happened for a long time.

Yeah you’re supposed to apparently roll out mid tackle. Real tough to do for an edge rusher going at full bore!

@Macca Chargers, Panthers and Philly... Not confident on any. This is a tough week.

Question for you all. 

Brady or Rodgers both at their best.

 

Brady although Rodgers is still Super-Great

Brady (thanks to Beluchick to a large extent) has had a lit more success and that matters.

And Beluchick is the greatest coach of the modern era ... in any sport,  anywhere.

Agree, but if you put both in the same team with the same coach then I think Rodgers is the better QB. Baluchick and the team he consistently put on the field is superior to the packers b7t in my eyes Rodgers is the better QB and more likely to win you games, especially when down.

Maybe ... but it's a hypothetical so we have almost certainly never seen Brady's true brilliance 24/7

When he is called upon he has been brilliant.

So Brady wins out because of the success that cannot be ignored.

And we can't also can't ignore the 'Super-fan' element that surrounds Rodgers from non- Green Bay fans and the resentment and dislike that can often surround Brady.

So there is bias involved but not from this here realist ??

And Joe Montana could well beat the both of them!

In the purest form of the question which would probably be based on talent. It's Rodgers

Yeah very true. There are so many variables and it all depends on how we define best. It's also important to note Gorgoroth has said at their best and not in general. This is how I see it in general though:

If we're talking both QBs purely on talent and arm it's easily Rodgers

If we're talking about football IQ and line of scrimmage it's easily Brady

If we're talking about clutch performers in all weather at any venue it's Brady.

If we're talking about the talent around them well Brady has played with 1 HOF receiver in his whole career and when he did, broke the season TD record. While Aaron has usually had Pro Bowl Wide outs.

Leadership - Brady by a stretch

 

Long story short: On their day Rodgers is better. But Brady is the better QB.

 

Clutch performance I would rate Rodgers.

GB better WR, agree, Pats better TE and much better oline

That's fair enough, he is a great clutch performer. Reason I've gone with Brady is the playoff record and for venues and conditions there's one stat that bothers me with Rodgers. Win/loss at Lambeau - 61-16, win/loss on the road - 43-39.

Pats definitely much better O-line over the years, that's the secret sauce. Aaron has had some shocking lines.

Aesthetically pleasing - Rodgers by a street

Overall effectiveness - Brady easily

Most effective = Best.  In my opinion = Yes.

I'm along that line of thinking too. Love Rodgers but I'm a massive Brady nut.

Great question by Gorg all the same

The other part of the argument is all the new gun QB's just starting out or newly established

Protecting the QB's has its own rewards.

I’m massive on getting good Oline. I watched a crap oline let people smash Bradford and co for years. Goff gets great protection the last year and a bit.

To have a clean pocket means everything for a QB. For instance I think Dak Prescott is a decent QB. Will never be a star but I think he can turn out to be a good B or B+ QB. That line has made him look like Brady in recent years.

  • 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.
