Eagles, Seahawks, Saints for me @Macca

You are doing well in the comp first time up DZ ... in fact,  you're in the lead! (along with 11 others)

For whatever reason we haven't seen a lot of strong teams on the road against weak opposition so far ... plus,  I'm not sure there are many 'pushover' teams about anyway.  And a few of the traditionally strong teams are performing below par as well. 

There were 5 road winners in week 3 but 3 of the 5 were complete outsiders - especially the Bills & Giants.  It's a tipsters nightmare at the moment.

In other news it looks like we could see a relaxing of the strict new interpretation of 'roughing the passer' ...  NFL Competition Committee members reportedly uncomfortable with roughing the passer calls

Seahawks, Saints and ..............ah #$@% it, why not the Browns

Lions, Eagles and chiefs for me in wk 4. 

Gutted about Jimmy G, niners season officially back in the toilet. Crowd numbers at Santa Clara already really low due to fans having to stare into the blazing sun all afternoon in that awfully thought out stadium. Now without their marquee name can't see crowds flocking to see CJ start

I miss Candlestick sometimes. It was a dump but it was our dump.

There you go Gorg. Even the bookmakers...

I don't think the Eagles were ever even close to this much of a fancy. Your head must be spinning.

No Talib and Peters for a month, whitwirth limped off the last two mins, no Greg the Leg and the kicker they got in was poo. JoJo is doing a good punt return for Cooper until his return. Our injuries are mounting, glad we took a punt on Sam shields, going to be well needed the next month.

Make that two months for Talib

I KNEW you'd say that. They're another 5-6 injuries from being brought back to the pack. Donald and Gurley are #1 in the league in their positions. No-one can figure out McVay, Goff is quietly achieving... WRs are flying all over the place. They're in superb shape.

Dappa, I’m a pessimist... I always see the holes. Diggs worries me this week prior to them going down. My thought is that now the throwing game will be more on the agenda vs us it might give Donald and Suh more chances at the QB.

 

TBH I now think we are like the chiefs where our O will have to just keep scoring big. Def have the weapons to do so.

Got a tough run coming up to.

Vikes, Seahawks, Broncos, niners, packers, saints, Seahawks, chiefs.

hoping Peters is back by broncos- Niners games as Talib will miss them all.

Hopefully the Eagles will still be thereabouts later in the year. That will be game of the season.

Say what! Wasn't Peters originally just a week to week thing?

First quotes were 2-4 weeks. Now it doesn’t seem as bad, they are rating him questionable for this week, but I’d be stunned if he played.

Yeah it was, but if this year both sides can be up and running by that stage... it will be better. Be great if it ciould not be overshadowed by injury events.

A new page so here are the games again ... Public holiday in Victoria tomorrow so we locals get a chance to watch the Vikes @ Rams game live.  Ideal.  Vikings are at Philadelphia next week so they'll need to get a move on after dropping a game to the Bills at home.

Only the 1 point on offer for 3 correct 'Road' winners this week so good luck all.

I’m out tomorrow to watch my nephew play in his u18 GF, 2 hour drive so will miss the game.

 

Tips are, Seattle, saints, lions

Yeah that sounds right. Miss one week maybe be back next. 

Eagles, Seahawks, Texans 

Vikings, Philly, Cheifs

Peters playing...

Excellent opening drive by the Vikes

Game-on by the looks of it

Gee they looked good. That's a helluva D they're playing against too.

Jeeeeeezus. Kupp.

Goodness gracious. We're in for a classic here. Two great Ds who have been smashed so far. Some guy called Aldrick Robinson who's been there about a week with 2 TDs... All happening.

Goff making a play for MVP this season.

I tell you what @Gorgoroth... That's the best team in football right there.

And TBH, I think in my time watching NFL it has a shot at being the best I've seen.
