Bills, Bucs and Chargers

Boy, am I struggling to get a read on the competition this year.

Could be the D/land NFL tipping comp curse at work t_u

Those who have won have often struggled the following season (although Gorg did go back-to-back and Clint has buttered up well after his 2 wins)

But all the others have not even gotten on the podium the following year

    GB get the win over my boys, seems our offence played pretty good but once again our D was poor on the run.

    McVay is now 7-22 when losing at the half, 1-16 when it’s over 4 points.

    We once again didn’t commit to the run as much as I’d like but did some. 
    I give it 3 weeks and we fire the D coordinator. Have Jags this week, then Cards, Seahawks, vikes, ravens, niners.

    Prob not looking at better than 3-3 down that stretch. (Unless drastic step up by all), so 7-1 becomes 10-7.

    Ive lost all faith in McVay, who does he blame now Goff is gone?

    The Rams might have to do it all on the road but if you can put it all together, you'll be there when the whips are cracking

    All your remaining games are winnable ... assuming you get over the Jags next up, the following game at Arizona looms large as a season definer.  Win both and the season is well and truly alive

    As for the Packers, we've got a relatively moderate run home with the week off this week being a blessing (injury wise)

    Whilst on paper they look winnable, I can’t seE us beating Cards, Ninersor Ravens who all run the ball well and we can’t stop the run for plop. Jags should be a easy kill…I say should. Vikes without Cook skews in our favour and Seahawks aren’t great but it’s a Div game. 
     

    Henderson now with a quad strain, McVay won’t use Michel more than 3 times a game even though he was 4.7y per carry on Sunday and similar in other games. We haven’t used a second TE since Mundt got injured and if you look at how many personnel we used it’s minimal. GB used everyone, meaning it’s less predictable. McVay has been mostly figured out and os stubbornly remaining to his guns and woods out has really hurt.

    2 points up for grabs this week as we enter the business end of the season ... any number of road winner chances too

    Just be aware of the trap games!  Good luck!

    Some interesting results today. 
    Lions get a good lead at the half only to lose it then regain it on the last play of the game.

    Seahawks beat the niners and threw in a. 73yrd fake punt to boot.

    Ravens miss the 2 point conversion when a single point ties the game. Steelers win.

    And the Patriots are (right now) the No.1 seed in the AFC.  Who would have thought?  Belichick gets his team into contention again

    Pats @ the Bills tomorrow and there is a stack riding on the result

    He is a master. Jones looks like Brady 2.0, nothing flash or powerful, just accurate and smart.

    The race is well and truly on in the tipping comp.  With 11 points still available (Week 14 - 1 Point,  Week 15 - 2 Points,  Week 16 - 2 Points,  Week 17 - 3 Points & Week 18 - 3 Points) anyone can still win outright   

    Time for some left field solutions for the backmarkers and this year, that strategy may just pay off.  Or it won't!

    As for the frontrunners and those on the speed, do they dare to be different?  No risk, no reward!   

    We're all chasing down 'Go the Biff' but will he falter?

    I thought of an idea for the tipping comp next year ... a bonus point awarded if only 1 tipster correctly picks 3 road winners in any given week

    Just adds a bit of interest especially if a tipster is trying to catch up or as an added incentive to tip away from the norm

    All year there have been any number of road winners that none of us have picked

    Just the 1 bonus point though ... even in the weeks where 2 or 3 points are up for grabs

    Just a thought

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
