Yeah,  I was hearing Foles to Tate a fair bit but must have been on the earlier drives.  Speaking of drives,  good teams seem able to have long drives as part of who they are. 

The Saints being no exception with that 90+ yard,  22 play drive that seemed to go on forever ... proved the difference as the Eagles just couldn't get hold of the ball and then keep it. Yet,  a couple more completions on that last drive and you possibly/probably win the game.

I have to say, as good as Brees is and Peyton with his amazing playcalling... Saints D were incredible after 1/4 time. Shut out Nicky Franchise.

    What I would give to have Kupp available this weekend.

    He was pretty good vs the saints and I just read Goff averages less on passing without Kupp.

    Looking forward to both championship games this week. Plenty of great offense to watch and there will definitely be room for surprises, I'm going with a Patriots V Rams Superbowl.

    Kupp is super. I'd recruit Reynolds though, personally. Think he goes well.

    Eagles are going with Wentz over Foles, not surprisingly. But I found these Interesting stats on bleachers report

    When we lost, I breathed a sigh of relief. There was genuinely going to be a QB controversy if he went all the way and won another one. Wentz is the better player no doubt, and I'm not ready to see him go, not for a 1 and a player like people were suggesting.

    Yeah Reynolds is good, but Kupp is our slot receiver, meaning Woods plays slot which in turns means a less threat down the side as Reynolds isn’t as effective and means cooks cooks more attention.

    For us to win, we need to run the ball down the throat of the saints and punch it out the other side.

    I don't have the Eagles as high as Rams... and Eagles probably should have won in the end on that last drive. I'll take Rams this week. (not necessarily my tip though lol)

    Yeah have to agree there, I think they win if it was in Philly.

    And yet. Philly should have lost against Bears with the Parkey kick. Not only that but Lutz should have ended the Saints game with his 52 yarder.

    most games in the NFL I find have a turning point, sometimes it’s a turn over or a 3 and out, etc etc

    personally im hoping for a massive win by the Rams where the game is over by the end of the first ?

     

    Momday is going to be painful, I should get to see the game at 2pm, such a long time to avoid everything!!!

    Happens sometimes in aussie rules too. Max Gawn goes to bench, oppo clears the ball and it's game on.

    Eagles game it was the cheeky 4th down fake punt they did.

    Yes GtB ... I have picked KC but if I wouldn't be betting against the Pats. So heart rules the head on that pick.  I like Andy Reid too and would like to see him win a SB. 

    The Rams for Gorg as well but I picked the Saints only because they're at home and that is a big advantage for New Orleans.

    Agree on the home field adv. 

    For me for the Rams to win, Gurley and CJ need to get 180+ yards running and Donald and Suh need to be so far into Brees face all game.

    And realistically our D will be the difference between win and loss.

    Heart says we win, head cries...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
