Well tha's it for the Eagles can't see them making the finals now losing to the Dolphins how embarrassing. There's always next year. Foles is better than Wentz.

Bring back Foles? 

Just joking!

Whichever team wins your division will probably end up playing a lot better by the end of December than either team is playing now.  So there's a bit of hope with 1 home final.  

lol

Yeah that's true. I think Cowboys, if they do improve, stand the best chance of doing damage. Eagles were dogs in every playoff they won the superbowl in.

lol Please... Wentz was in the MVP race before they won the superbowl. Not one serious football fan has Foles as a better player than Wentz. Before his line and receivers got decimated recently (could happen to anyone) he was in the top 10 QBs on most estimates.

Oh and in case you didn't notice, he threw 3 TDs, had 310 yards and only gave away the pick in the end on a hail Mary... still had 93 QB rating. They lost cos of their deplorable secondary. Not Wentz.

But sure... you go ahead and pick the guy who just got benched by the Jags for a Rookie.

Even so,  you should be able to beat Washington & the Giants (twice)

And if you beat Dallas as well you're in the playoffs.  A tougher draw and I'd say no real chance (because of the way you're playing right now) but if your offense plays to their best you can win all 4.

Win at home to the Giants and the team might just rally.  But you'll need your offense to get you over the line in all 4 games.  It's do-able.

Yeah. Cos Cowboys lost...

It's hard to get excited for though. Just knowing how it's just not a good squad. I've been gushing over the 49ers, Saints, Pats, Ravens and others all year. Just haven't seen a big time performance in even one game yet from the Eagles, even in one they've won. Just got past Packers, and beat Bills probably the only ones.

We have a new leader in the tipping comp - Gorg (former winner) has shot to the front entering the home straight!  The value of 1 point is never more evident than right now.  Tough week to find 3 road winners too.  Good luck!

Can’t believe Dallas are leading a division. Seems they are a shell of what they were. 

Yeah there often seems to be at least 1 division where we see a winner by default only.  And how many times do we see those underperforming division winners win in the first week in the playoffs?  Happens a bit

If the Rams beat them next week they will not make the playoffs and Eagles win the div.

Here's hoping all my Rams love the past couple of years gives me some cred with the football gods.

I feel that way about a number of 49ers games this year.

@Dappa Dan, tonight’s game was horrendous, but I challenge any team to play a game with only 1 WR on the field of half of it. And going into the game with only one decent WR who goes out 5 mins into the game.

In Saying that, your D didn’t look great at times and Wentz missed passes that he makes two years ago. The Eagles have i5 all in front of them, what they or the cowboys do in the last 3 weeks is undpredictable

 Week 15 already!  2 points on offer in the comp and there are more than a few road teams with a chance of winning (which includes 2 or 3 standouts chances)  Could be a trap game in amongst them though.  Good luck!

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
