My biggest problem with Stafford is he makes really bad mistakes, and then make another equally as dumb soon after.

McVay doesn’t help, he loves the big throwing plays and will call some weird plays and what’s worse, like the niners game McVay calls and plays conservatively, especially late in games.

The media was talking about an over reliance on OBJ. As a neutral I thought they could have tossed it his way more, just the 5 targets. But Stafford was hell bent on going to him on that last play, perhaps that was one of those McVay calls.

    Prob cos he saved our butts vs the Ravens.

    Yeah we try and force it to OBJ occasionally, tbh I’d be looking more to Higbee in those situations. His matchup with Kupp and OBJ taken the best 3 usually is most favourable.

    Rams lose their defensive play caller for the year, Rapp also under concussion protocol. Their solution? A guy 23 months retired… 

    Welcome back Eric Weddle. 
     

    What a strange decision.

    Pre season they were my AFC choice to make the SB. I must admit they have had a stuttering year, but looking very very good.

    The Bills were ultra-impressive today, Gorg

    Their issue is that they are almost certainly @ KC next week (barring a Steelers win)

    So as good as they were today, can they beat the Chiefs on the road?

    The Chiefs D is the Key, if they can get on top of KC defence early and put up points and make Mahomes and the O chase them, then they are a big chance. Chiefs O has been much better of late, but like the pats of old, the O Usually starts with good field position or with a maintained lead they can try and build on.

    Bills were incredible. No mean feat to come into Foxboro but Josh Allen looked like he was playing flag football.

    Some big score blowouts in the Super Wildcard weekend so far. Does anyone else think the extra week of games is too much?
    As a Niners fan I'd say no now, am still riding that high from this morning, but it really seems some mediocre teams made the playoffs this year.

    Was also talking to a friend who doesn't follow the NFL, but does follow AFL about how it all works, and we both wondered when the AFL may try and introduce a 'Wildcard Weekend' given less than half the team currently make the finals.

    Been saying to mates for ages, Cowboys are like Carlton, entitled overrated crud. Add McCarthy who I still reckon is a poor coach who was lucky to have Rodgers and co at GB.

    Andthen you hear Prescott say “All credit to them” when asked about the fans throwing things at the refs. 
    Refs didn’t lose you the game, you did. You ran too far, didn’t know the rules and botched it yourselves, oh the bazillion yards of penalties and missing wide open receivers also was a factor. What a nonce, I hope the league fine him a massive amount.

    I'm 50/50 on 9th & 10th playing finals in the AFL ... good for the clubs involved and the supporter groups but it dilutes the strength of the finals.  If they brought it in I wouldn't be bothered

    As for the NFL, I haven't been tuned in as compared to previous years but it seems that the Steelers, Eagles and Raiders fell into the playoffs whilst the Pats got found out as well

    Niners did well though (against Dallas) and now you have a match-up at Lambeau next week against my Packers ... and if Rodgers is rusty, you're a definite chance

    Should be a good game regardless, given the recent history between the 2 clubs

    The game is on next Sunday 12.15pm (AEDT) so that's ideal!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
