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…

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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
