    What a end for the bears! Upright then cross bar. 5th upright hit at home this season.

    Both games were pretty boring with D dominating before some scoring late.

    Ouch... Tough way to lose a game let alone a playoff! Eagles just know how to get it done this time of year.

    Fuckles, I’m in Tassie all weekend so prob not see the game, was hoping for the late Monday game as I fly back Monday arvo so could have watched it then.

    Had one of those “ Oh Great! ” moments when they showed the stat of Parkey prior to the FG attempt of him being 2nd in the NFL for most missed kicks this season. 

    I actually thought it went in off the upright initially and gave the old fist pump, only for my son to tell me I’m losing it. 

    Shame, well played Eagles.

    So we have the Cowboys. 

    If Wade doesn’t clamp Elliot and the run game McVay and co will be 0-2

    Andrew Luck might be a top-notch QB but he has taken QB-Speak to a whole new level.  It's like he is on auto-pilot once he starts talking ?

    Foles is up there too. But agree, every time Luck does something good, they cut to him talking and just.... nothing happens.

    And Parkey misses the 3 pointer - hits the upright!  A timely time-out by Pederson to ice the kicker.

    That's a heartbreaker for the Bears. 

    It actually might have clipped an eagle talon on the way through. Not sure it would have affected it too much.

    I'm a bit concerned actually. I have Rams as comfortably the better team. Cowboys though, comfortably in better form... and that worked for the Eagles yesterday.

    My god what a finish. I'm still blown away.

    I told you we would win?Foles to Tate was a thing of beauty. Parkey is a spud. GO PHILI

    Teams that love the screen game give us trouble as our game is rush the passer they let them through and just lob it over our heads. We need to contain Prescott in the pocket, make him throw, don’t allow the run game nor allow him to escape. Make him and the WR core beat our secondary. If we clamp and contain we have the players in Suh, Brockers and AD who are good enough to collapse the pocket on him.

    I truly don’t know why that isn’t our go to play for every team.

    LaFleur has the credentials but being the head coach is a big step-up from being a Coordinater.

    I wish him well but the expectations will be to win now and make the playoffs first year in. It is not a Roos/Melbourne scenario.

    I must admit I didn’t think of him for you guys, but I wasn’t sure which way out guys would go with it.

    interesting choice.

    Foles is just a cool dude - never fazed (which is a talent all on its own) ... where as Luck is a bit of a nerd 

    But you know what Dappa?  I'd have either of them at Green Bay if Rodgers wasn't available.  They are both really talented QB's - hands down.

    Yep,  clipped the fingers which is enough to affect the kick which was possibly going to fade a few metres.  So the angst against Parkey becomes uncalled for as he often fades his kicks.  The iced kick just beforehand faded left to right so we could assume that he was going to repeat the same type of kick.  But he'll have to cop it and then have to deal with it all. 

    The Bears couldn't stop that final Foles drive and their trademark is stopping those types of drives with their D.  So the game is decided in other areas as well as the talked-about last play.  Still,  it was a crushing loss for the Bears.

    As I would have been too - Foles seems unstoppable and I reckon if you can beat the Saints then you'll win the Lombardi again. 

    But New Orleans are gonna be real tough in that dome.  The key is to remain within striking distance so you'll need your D to stand up.

    Very interesting choice... He was at Atlanta as the QB coach in 2016,  how much influence he had on Ryan's MVP season... I was a big advocate of he's for the Falcons OC when Shanahan moved on..

    How much did he do as OC under McVay ?? & the Titans offence didn't light it up this year. I'm sure Green Bay know what their doing just a left field choice I guess

    Goff and McVay both praised him massively when he left. They talked him up big time.

    High respect for Foles. The main Philly sports radio guy has hated him for years and is now leading the charge to trade Wentz. It's become a full blown QB controversy now. Personally even if he wins the Lombardi, I still want Wentz. Even if we were offered a player and a 1.

    Would have been crushing for Eagles too I feel. And really, they should have lost.

    Yeah... Saints can give up some plays over the top, which is what Foles does. I feel like it'll be a bit like the SB last year. Just Brees and Foles airing it out. As you say, it's all about how much Eagles can limit guys like Kamara. Our run D is our great strength on defense. But the recent game (albeit with Wentz) was a nightmare of epic proportions for Eagles. To turn around 40+ points seems too much.

    TBH I reckon any of these games could go either way.

    the Pats should prob have the right combos to deal with the chargers but if Rivers gets on a roll... Brady will need to be on his game.

    I like the Chargers again this week... No idea why but over the last week I've taken a liking to them, wouldn't be suprised to see them win the AFC

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
