TBH Macca, I thought the horrendous penalty for hitting the kicker was completely wrong. No way was that worth more than a 5yrd penalty, but also tbh if you have the. At 4/21, don’t go near the kicker!!! 

Nah I thought it was a 15 yard penalty Gorg despite the barracking by the commentators.  No excuses,  none.   You never give the ref a chance to give a penalty by running into the kicker. 

We did well to stay with the Pats for as long as we did but we had our chances ... the fumble meant the game was over.  The Pats coverage on our wide receivers was as good as I have seen.  They are as good as ever. 

As for your Rams,  the Saints now have the tiebreak advantage when we get to the playoffs ... you'll possibly need to 'win-out' to avoid another trip to New Orleans.  14-2 probably wins the conference but it is early doors.

    Saints have to play panthers twice, falcons, Steelers and eagles which might go in our favour

    Superior teams keep winning or find a way to win ... the Saints have hit a rich vein of form and with Brees at the helm,  they'll be hard to beat for any opposition.

    Of course, doesn’t hurt to have four of our biggest threats play each other ?

    I think the frustration stems from we had a great D for years so I’m use to them making those tackles etc, and that is the problem it’s things that should be easily fixed. I reckon we stuck the first tackle less than 50% of the time.

    Yeah I get that. It seems to come in waves for the Eagles. For a couple of years they'll be sticking everything, then for a couple of years you'll get crappy secondary players who go to water...

    Still feels to me like you've got it where it counts. I never appreciated until I saw Cox play, and Donald a bit closer, how central a great DT is to an overall defense. And they are great.

    Donald is double teamed 70% of the time which means Suh and Brockers and mates should be getting much better at getting through but they haven’t been Suh and Peters have been pretty average, not bad, but not near their talent capabilities.

    I was always concerned for Suh and what he could produce with another bull in the paddock. Peters tho... no excuses.

    As you've stated here,  the Rams defense has been shown up so you need to take care of your own destiny ... vs KC,  @ Chicago & vs Philadelphia won't be easy and even 1 loss against any of those teams serves as a double-loss when in pursuit of the 1 seed up against the Saints.  

    And the 1 seed is super-important with a SB spot on the line.  As an example,  the Eagles having the 1 seed last season helped them and Foles to a very large degree as it did the Pats up against the Steelers.

    You're in new ground Gorg after being out of it for so many years

    How 'bout those Cowboys!  Not. 

    Pressure has to come onto their coach & QB now ... the NFC East is up for grabs but Dallas are going backwards at a rate of knots.

    Initially I thought the same thing, just a running into the kicker penalty which would be 5 yards. The issue with this one is he makes contact with the punter’s planted leg.

    Nice one ‘boys. *Clap...clap...clap*

    Mariota can be alright when he has time, most qbs can be but he made the throws when it counted. Their interior line was effective too opening up some good running lanes through the middle. 

    Lee injured again.

    How does McCartney? GB should be much better over the last few years. How did Fisher last as long as he did? 

    NFL keeps some coaches much longer than they should and others get chopped much earlier than realistic.

    Jerruh must be saving $$ by capturing the energy generated by the constant clapping to power the stadium.

    Steelers get it done. I’ll say it again, this Pittsburgh D has pass rush in them, a lot of questions going in but they  nailed it today with 5 sacks.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
