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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
