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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
