Happy days @Dappa Dan - on the board!!

I felt for sure I'd mozzed us when @Macca pointed out my mistake.

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! 

No doubt about it that was a great, great win by your boys. Eagles sucked but take nothing away from Mariota. That had to be earned and they did it.

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Damn ... forgot to record today's game - hate that.  Did the whole media blackout etc,  just got home,  turned on the tele and there's nothin'.  Not gonna make it til 11.30pm so I'll just have to make do with the highlights.  Must have been some kind of comeback by KC led by Mahomes yeah?

0 - The usual gang

A big 2 points up for grabs for week 5 ... I'm posting up the games early to get it all out of the way.   Tuesday evenings it will be then - probably late in the evening generally.  Not sure there's many standout road winners though (again)

KC just kept getting big plays after the broncos D put them into multiple long distance downs... they look the goods.

Seems stopping Mahomes from scrambling to the right is the key to shutting him down. If it is possible. Guess Sacksonville will give it a red hot crack next Monday.

I’ve not been very impressed with Jacksonville this year. I expected more. Maybe too much.

I've liked what I've seen. Still think they'll be there in the AFC championship game.

Gee Mahomes makes me think of Rodgers... @Macca Thoughts?

Probably should be 4-0 but the Tacks get us every [censored] time. As long as the D keep the opposition to a low score Bortles doesn't have to do too much. Fournette hardly taking the field does not help. He may not be back until Week 10.

I've quite literally only seen some highlights of the bloke ... missed yesterday's game so will have to wait until week 6 when KC are at the Pats (SNF) to watch him in a full game.

It's only a very loose assessment. He's a great improviser and mover when he strafes and throws on the run. His QB rating is a whopping 125, and it only goes down to 90 when under pressure. But that's probably the only comparison to Rodgers. Rodgers probably the way bigger deep ball.

I see what you mean. I had them only thereabouts... I feel like you had them very high. Expectation the culprit.

Gee hasn't the league stood up and taken notice of what we knew a year ago. Rams are the best team in footy.

The best... still not convinced. Eagles are reigning SB champs and have Wentz back, not in top form yet, but building, Pats are the Pats, Steelers seem to have hit a wall and no bell to ring shows how much they relied on him. But he will play from game 8 it seems.

Chiefs O is insane, their D not so great. 

Rams are good, getting quite worried about the injuries mounting with Easley now going onto IR.

Hope we get Brockers back in the next few weeks.

Titans, Ravens, Packers

I've struggled with time to watch much this season, started a new job 6 months ago & moved out of home 12 months ago so really struggling with time to watch much at all. Barely get time to watch the Falcons so have hardly been across the rest of the comp. Disappointing ?

You haven't been watching Eagles lol. They're not what they were last year. OL was disgraceful on the weekend. Johnson the All pro right tackle has fallen off a cliff completely. Wentz was hit something like 13 times. And their D line isn't getting to the QB, which is putting pressure on the secondary. All their worst fears are coming to pass.

I love Chiefs. No doubt their D could improve, and should. But with an offense like that with Hunt, Mahomes, Kelce and Hill. That's terrifying.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
