Can't get over Goff... 17 less attempts than his oppo QB, and still got 43 more yards...

That was a cracker of a game. Probably the biggest of the season so far.

    Yeah,  top class game between 2 very good teams Dappa.  You've got to wonder how the Vikings could possibly lose that badly at home to the Bills?

    Costly loss as next up for Minnesota is at the Eagles.  And if one of the NFC North teams can get on a roll then the Vikings could easily be playing catch-up for the season. Mind you,  I don't believe that the Packers,  Lions or the Bears are all that great.  But you never know. 

    As for the Rams,  who's gonna stop 'em?  Their defense gave up points but their offense is supreme with Goff at the helm.   And the Vikes were always likely to score with their good offense.

    That's exactly where we're at. A notch or two ahead of all 31 other teams...

    An ex-player on Sportscenter was saying that their defense has a few weaknesses - more so in the secondary but that might be injury related.

    But all the teams get injuries so it is not a singular reason - unless that injury is to a gun QB where the back-up is way below ordinary.

    The Rams will now be the hunted though so they will get dissected by all ... but having a wise-head like Wade Phillips to support their young coach is an excellent situation for them.

    They are the team to beat in the NFC,  that much is true

    Yeah that's probably the only obvious area. Maybe their OL? they certainly dominated tonight though.

    Just watched the game, pretty stoked with our O. Some of the throws by both QBs were A grade.

    D stood up when needed, think the one thing Wade will be harping on was the missed tackles. We had quite a few today.

    4-0 gotta be happy.

     

    Get stuffed Fisher!

    That was the only thing execution wise I could find. The Thielen TD where just just pushed through...

    You can surely put that down to injury though.

    Gee Goff was absolutely superb. Two to Kupp and the Woods one were just great.

    A day off and I still can’t watch a game of football! :(

    I did just watch the extended highlights though. HUGE win for the Rams. I haven’t liked a divisional rival this much for a long time! 

    Jared Goff, you can really see why he was renowned as a great deep ball guy at Cal. Amazing.

    Paging @Dr. Gonzo  @titan_uranus  @DeeSpencer 

    Remembering we're looking for road winners only ... the games are listed in an above post.  Good luck!

    From here on in every odd numbered week carries bonus points - week 5 carries 2 points for instance.  We get another classic match-up with SNF this week and the MNF game is a good match-up too.

    Yeah they've all got to be road teams Gonzo and the Vikes & KC are at home. 

    If you don't get this message in time I wouldn't be too concerned ... we're all still sitting on zero points and tomorrow's games are tough.

    Haha sorry mate just saw this now! Is it 3 road teams every week? If so this week I'll take

    Saints, Chiefs, Ravens

    Ah yes, sorry...

    Colts? I didn't see? Something about a 4th down?

    With the scores tied and with less than a minute to go in overtime the Colts elected to make a play on a 4 and 4 on their own 43 yard line.  The play was broken down,  Houston then got the ball back on downs and a play later scored a field goal.

    They should have punted and been happy to take the tie.  But maybe their thinking was that it's wins or nothing with 2 of their division rivals now sitting at 3 & 1.

    Ah I see. I was thinking maybe it was end of regulation, in which case dumb...

    But yeah. Bit of the Dougie coaching tree in there...

    If it was later in the season you'd maybe understand the call but a half a win can act as a win with the tiebreak rule.   They possibly don't see the Texans as a threat so a case could be made. 

    I would have taken the tie though .. they are now 1 & 3 and staring down the barrel in that division.  Reckon it's the Jags division to lose the way they're playing.

    Agree.

    After Eagles gave up their 3rd fourth down in overtime for stupidity, I was praying for a tie. So yeah, there are situations.

    OMG, just watched the Titans v Eagles game, can't believe we got up, especially after quite possibly the most boring game I've ever seen last week against the Jags. Titan Up!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
