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

Could do with a lot less niners fans too! 😂

Well, from memory, early contributors to this thread (45HG, WJ & QueenC) are all 49ers fans too haha

Kupp on IR so first four games out. So… 2024/5… when does that start?

Can't seem to shake off the hamstring concerns (Clayton Oliver - like)

And we're up to 400 pages ... who'd have thought?  Dappa would be mighty proud of that milestone

Sure to have @Gorgoroth seeing red! 

That's great haha

And I especially like that you've kept up the J.E.T.S  typed out tradition (Gonzo will be well pleased)

Speaking of which, I'll be taking a keen interest in how Rodgers is faring this season

So in the NFL, are fans allowed to have a 2nd team to support located in another conference? 

I remember not minding at all when Favre played for the J.E.T.S (texting scandal and all) but when he went to the Vikings, I still wanted him to do well (kinda/sorta) but not for Minnesota! 

Would have been like Gawn switching to a team like Essendon or Collingwood

I've got a mate who supports the Steelers so I've always had a soft spot for Pittsburgh

I don't know about the other conference but I have a soft spot for the Jags and Bengals, would like to see them do well.

Actually NFC wise Panthers are my team, played for a "Panthers" team in junior footy and like the colours, hopefully they've hit gold with their young QB. I also don't mind the Saints, New Orleans is one of the few US cities I actually would like to visit.

Divisions winners
AFC
North: Bengals

South: Jaguars
West: Chargers

NFC:
North: Lions

South: Falcons
West: Sea Hawks 

Super Bowl: Jets def SeaHawks 

Wow!

The J.E.T.S!! 

Agree on most of the rest but how do you see your Bears faring?  And the Niners? 

Falcons winning their division would be a real turnaround

The AFC is going to be a bloodbath, there’s maybe 10 really good teams and the 3 stand outs from previous years (Bills, Bengals, Chiefs) might take a step back. I just like the Jets defense and play makers even if Rodgers isn’t great. 

Probably got too clever in my nfc pick. Thought the SeaHawks defense would take a step forward and Geno could back up last year. Might be eagles, cowboys and niners still as the class of a weak conference.

Falcons nearly won the division last year didn’t they? Panthers with a rookie QB. Tampa with Baker. Saints going to the well again with an ageing team and Carr. All Ritter has to do is play point guard for a really good offensive play caller and surrounding talent and the Falcons will be right there if not winning the division.

The bears will be bad. Had a stack of camp injuries which ruined their ability to get continuity which they need with something like 11 new starters and new back ups. Defense should be better if they can stay healthy for a month but it’s a bad d line and they need that time together and some bad weather. O Line hasn’t had any practice time together and Fields just isn’t going to be an nfl qb unless he gets Ohio State like time to pick his throws and he’s still a mile off getting that. They got a reality check today.

"How 'bout them Cowboys!"

Saw the first half. Our defence was superb. Absolutely monstered the Giants O line. Jones was getting pummelled left and right. Came up with big play after big play. Good start but the opposition must be taken into account. The Giants were very poor.

Packers had their obligatory easy win v the Bears.

I think the fact the NFC South division is fairly weak opens it up for us. Rookie QB is always going to be a worry but the front office has turned the roster over massively & Arthur Smith bought he’s successful offensive game plan from Tennessee so will be interesting how they go!

Yeah watching the Dallas game on the NFL Network right now ... impressive opener.  McCarthy calling the plays again

Packers won well but the Bears were banged up according to DS.  Still, a win at Soldier Field is always to be savoured

The NFC North might be a tight race

Jordan Love had a good game too.  His numbers were Rodgers-like haha

Paku Nacua the new WR for the Rams went 10/119 on 15 targets and they were some tough catches and gains. Not bad for a first game in Seattle. Might have found our #2 to Kupp.

Atwell also stood up this game with 6/119 from 8 targets. 
Staffords arm looked good, hope he stays healthy.

Yeah I'd like to see Atlanta back in the playoffs ... a good solid win to start things off

Ha ha! 

And in my mind, falling 2 points behind feels catastrophic

I'll tell you one thing, JV7, I will never take 1 point for granted in this comp ... they are like hen's teeth!

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
