They never call holds on AD99, just gave up a massive play down field (45) but AD was held up the middle but never ever gets the calls.

Goff fumbles 1yrd out... is there anything he can’t stuff up. 
Seriously this guy is a polished turdd, if he ain’t skiiing downhill we are up shiite creek.

 

And then we try and run it.

JUST JUMP UP AND PUT THE BALL OVER THE LINE!!!!

Horrible call only made due to Goff isn’t trusted.

Webster fumbles again on a return. 
once again seriously why the hell we persist with this muppet is beyond me.


Don’t back the Rams next week. 
Goff has lost it. We might win but it will be on the back of our D. 
Goff won’t be QB at Rams in 2 years time and will only be so next year due to the horrible contract we gave him.

I have a small multi on the GB game and the game just went live and I saw it is snowing and all my parts of the multi are receiving and throwing yards... uuugggghhhhj

 

Sucks for the Browns to have lost their WRs to COVID, but still, losing to the Jets with playoffs (and the division) on the line is classic Browns.

They can still make it even if they lose to the Steelers next week but that requires the Colts to lose to Jacksonville, which surely won't happen, or a whack combination of the Titans losing to the Texans and then each of the Ravens, Colts and Dolphins winning.

Goff broke his thumb, still threw after it and wasn’t any worse but I dare say we are going with our back up.

Jets beat Browns!

Death, Taxes and the Browns failing to get the job done. 

So Goff is out, Henderson is out, Akers is a slight possibility but prob not or if he does he won’t be near 100%, now Kupp is on COVID list...

GO PACK GO! is the new Ram fan catch cry. If the pack beat the bears for us, we are in without having to win ourselves.

In the tipping comp Gorgoroth has entered the fray being the only one to pick up points last week (how 'bout those Browns!)

So that means that only 4 can win the comp (either outright or a shared victory) whilst the rest of us are playing for pride (and a possible podium finish)

Good luck to all remembering that we play for 3 points this week

We've had a trap game in the last 2 weeks and will there be another this week?  Or 2 trap games? haha

If the Giants beat Dallas & the Eagles defeat Washington,  the Giants will win the NFC East with a 6 & 10 record!

Crazy. They should have the best teams in, not best from the division.

I like the divisional set up ... means a team can get lucky every now and again

And with 7 teams in the playoffs now the winner of the NFC East is in in front of the 4th best wild-card team.  They are not keeping a top team out

It's not exactly fair but the AFL has way more anomolies with regards to parity.  As do many other sports (especially soccer which has no salary cap)

A bit of quirkiness in sport without everything needing to be seeded all the time aids the underdog element

Just an opinion though Gorg ... doesn't mean I'm right

But if the Giants get in and end up beating the Packers in week 2 (as they did in 2011/12) all bets are off!

I don't mind the winner from each division getting in but what I do find odd is how they automatically get a home game. Surely if the wildcard team they play has a better record then they should get it. 

And as I'm writing this I've got this feeling someone's gonna tell me they changed it recently. 

Like the first game of the last round in the Brownlow count, irrelevant and no shot of winning or even making top 3.. I'll get the ball rolling.

Ravens, Titans, Seahawks

As far as I know the division winners remain as the 1-4 seeds, which means the first match-ups are now 2v7, 3v6 and 4v5.

In the NFC, that means the winner of the NFC East (either the 7-9 Football Team or Cowboys, or the 6-10 Giants) will get a home playoff game against, likely, the 11-5 Bucs.

I'm not against division winners making the playoffs but I think it would be fairer for the seeding to occur based on all 7 playoff teams' records, not guaranteeing division winners get the 1-4 seeds no matter what.

Yeah thought that might still be the case, just seems odd that a 6-10 team can get a home playoff game while a 12-4 team can not only miss out on their division but also have to travel. But it's the weird and wonderful things that make this game.


Sorry, should have said I don’t mind the divisional set up but the seeding should be by wins.

 

EarlY tip. 
bills vs packers SB

Fairly sure the Pats missed out on the playoffs in 2008 despite having an 11 & 5 record

And Miami won that division in 2008 with an 11 & 5 record

So it doesn't always go the Pats way!!

 

Things are getting worse for the Rams, Brockers has also been added to the covid list. 
Wow this is getting bad.

 

Packers star LT David Bakhtiari does his ACL in training. Massive blow for the back. Especially a week out from play offs.

No-one keen to show their cards ?

So - Baltimore, Seattle and the Miracle Man Alex Smith to return to lead Washington to victory

  • 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.
