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.

 

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?

Leaderboard in the Comp

1 - Dr. Gonzo,  Clintosaurus,  Dappa Dan

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.

They will be there abouts but I just expected more. Maybe marking them too hard

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.


Titans, Ravens , Rams.

Da Bears are going alright!

Rams, Ravens, Broncos

still smarting from that overrule that cost the poor old Browns a win - and me a point !

So I usually try and watch NFL live each day, I IQ it and watch it when I get home, but with the changes this year Im Struggling to enjoy it as much, my fav Louis riddick is gone and ever week Josina is on and she annoys the bloody hell outta me.

Sigh

Packers, Ravens, Rams


So do the Patriots get the 1 seed in the AFC again? ?

He’s like Rodgers with the determination and game face of Favre!

Been a rough week, forgot to do my tips. Can I still pick from the remaining games @Macca? 

You can put  your tips in anytime layz ... just so long as the 3 games involved haven't commenced.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
