Interested in @Macca’s thoughts on today’s game.

i thought that GB ran the ball really effectively early, especially after Wade has gone on the record as the run game doesn’t matter to him as much. Well we had to certainly take notice of it.

The GB Oline was amazing first half, less so in the second but not a huge drop.

GB smashed the Rams on defence in the first half and if not for the punt that netted us the safety I thought the O was tightening up and trying to force things. Gurley was getting stuffed badly. Hekker was massive first half.

Second half, I thought Wade ramped up the pressure in Rodgers and the secondary tightened up, but more that the offence got moving so  we got score board pressure and that is what I thought GB failed to do in the first half.

Summed it up well Gorg and from early on it looked like whoever had the ball last was going to win ... Packers had that possession and then gave it up with a fumbled return.  Annoying.

Rodgers would have almost certainly gotten the team into a field goal position otherwise and then it's up to the kicker.  I thought we played a good game all the same and it was the best we've played all season and with the Vikes losing again today,  we're still a chance for the division.

Next up for Green Bay is @ the Patriots next week (SNF) ... should be a cracker.  Brady vs Rodgers only happens once every 4 years at a minimum.  Bring it on!

Rams @ Saints next week is another potential beauty ... late arvo game. 

 

Go Bills! ?

Ha ha,

 

dont think I’ll pay that much attention to the game, I will tape it and watch it when I get home but I think I will be paying a lot of attention.

I must admit I jumped around screaming when the fumble occurred.

 I expected a knee and when he ran it I started yelling strip it, strip it.

 I was hoping for OT as I had no doubt that Rodgers would get into FG range, just wanted them to stop the TD.

 

Ps

Pats vs packers should be great. Rodgers looked much better moving around and with Cobb going  into his second game will help.

Another massive test for our D. Massive test. Two great runners, Wade needs to respect this.

On offence, we should have Kupp back which will be huge, saints D is great vs the run but not so good vs the pass.

Tate traded from lions to eagles for 3rd round pick

Thomas traded from Broncos to Texans who play the Broncos this week in Denver...

Yesterday’s game wasn’t such a smashing I was expecting. The bills D was so good. I still think the Pats are on the decline and ai think they lose this week to the Packers.

All happening. Tate to Eagles is good... But probably only a year or two he'll work... a third too much?

He is a good player and will help you now.

Thought u would target a RB tbh.

Surprised by trading of Clinton-Dix

There was some talk of haha in the days leading up to trade deadline.

Nah the current RBs are fine... would need to offload a first rounder for something like Bell to improve. I'm surprised we didn't get help in the secondary tbh.

Raiders, Bears, Chiefs


Rough week again. Haven’t had a chance to get on here!

Some interesting results. My takeaways:

- Houston hitting a bit of a stride. Always been a fan of Watson, he was Mahomes before Mahomes.

- This is as consistent as Cam Newton has ever looked. Norv Turner is a great OC and Cam is thriving.

- I can’t sleep on the Steelers. Their pass rush can be good when they want it to be.

- I Wouldn’t be surprised if Gronk was traded.

- The Browns continue to be dysfunctional. Sacking the coach and OC at Week 8, real clever.

 

Niners, for god sake. The turnovers are just killing us. To nearly get into FG range and blow a Shotgun snap like that is just.. Argh.

Bay area battle tomorrow, we must win. I don’t care if this is the last win of the season.

Very good get. 3rd down machine. 


Raiders are total shyte.

 

Gruden is coaching like a mixture of fisher and neeld.

They are worst side I’ve seen in a long time and I follow the bloody Rams!

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
