Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Not going to go with a Superbowl prediction just yet but I'm going to have a stab at the Division winners for 2022 off the top of my head. Feel free to argue:

AFC East - Buffalo Bills

AFC North - Baltimore Ravens

AFC South - Indianapolis Colts

AFC West - LA Chargers

NFC East - Philadelphia Eagles

NFC North - Green Bay Packers

NFC South - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFC West - LA Rams

 

Quick notes:

- Colts upgrade at QB, yes he's getting on but still the best QB in that division.

- AFC West is the stacked division. I wouldn't be surprised if they all finish over .500. Giving the Chargers the edge, across the board that is a brilliant roster with few weaknesses but it could be anyone's.

- Bruce Arians reckon Brady's passing is better than ever in training camp. Prepare for some big numbers

- If someone with a name that isn't Aaron Donald is going to win defensive player of the year I'm tipping Micah Parsons to give it a good shake.

Watt, Bosa or Parsons can win the DPOY but if the true goat AD99 Is healthy then first team all pro and DPOY are his.

Ive never seen anyone better. On both sides of the ball.

Not far off really. His work rate and willingness to get improve is unsurpassed. At very least the Jerry Rice of defensive players for me.

Not a super dedicated NFL fan but after decades of mediocrity, I’ve come to love watching my Buffalo Bills the last few season. Josh Allen is an absolute freak and pleasure to watch. Defence is looking better this season too.

That's a great way to start the season ... a big victory at the Superbowl winning Rams

Gorgoroth (here on this thread) will be none too happy and we'll get the summary at what happened soon enough!

Allen is a gun player but he made a name for himself big time last year so no surprise there

Fun team to watch Viper, looking forward to checking out the highlights on this one. 

Nailed my multi by the look of it! Kupp anytime touchdown and Higbee over 38 yards (he had 39) plus a few other overs for receiving yards.

First half thoughts

Oline needs work.

Ramsey isn’t recovered from

Surgeries

Run with Henderson looks good.

Kupp ♥️♥️♥️

No targets for Allen Robinson has been a massive surprise. 

Not targeting the rookie safety’s and corner, no deep throws

 

Second half

Why the hell did he run that back from

The opening kick off??? Cut his [censored]!

 

Over rushing on 3rd down so Allen gets the 12 yards. Dumb.

First drive and missed tackles all over the shop.

Gee they are running this ball so well.

Stafford to Kupp is something to behold

 

I didn’t like it last year and don’t this year. Put Ramsey on the best.

 

Haven’t made them punt and we are 2 mins into the 4th qtr

Second pick by Stafford was a putrid throw. 

Ramsey got torched by Diggs. I reckon Ramsey believes he is unbeatable and tries to go for the ball instead of just beating his man. As bad coverage as I’ve seen by him tonight.

 

We look very average, if it’s no Kupp it’s nothing. Need OBJ and a pass rusher.

Our D over all have been decent but still given up 31 points. The Bills look so good, I had money on Rams Bills SB last year and I tell you what they will make it this year if they stay healthy.

AFC
East - bills
North - ravens
South - Colts
West - Chiefs
WC - Bengals, Chargers, Raiders
 

NFC
East - cowboys
North - packers
South - Bucs
West - 49ers
WC - Eagles, Vikings, Rams

Wow there’s a huge discrepancy between the afc and nfc. I considered Denver, Miami, Patriots, Steelers, Browns, Titans all for playoff chances. That’s 13 of 16 teams! In the NFC it’s probably 9 teams that feel they’re playoff quality and 7 more who’d probably take an 8-9 season as a win.

Bills over Packers in the SB.

I'm still trying to catch up ... listening in to all the games tomorrow and then 5-6 hours of Sportscenter afterwards should fill my brain with lots of info

Monday for me is NFL day with a bit of work thrown in when time permits!! (I do work Saturday's though)

There's big raps on the Colts & Cowboys but if Tampa start off well, the talk will be about Brady.  The Bucs are 2nd favourites to win the SB (behind the Bills)

Then it's KC, Packers (?), Chargers, Rams, 49ers, Denver, Ravens & Dallas

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
