Gee the Ravens WR’s are dropping some easy catches.

Story of this round of matches (dropped catches) It's as if they are thinking of the extra yardage after the catch! 

Great run by Jackson just then to set up the field goal

Pressure looks intense out there but the two drops by the ravens were like you said more looking for what they are going to do next.

 

And there is the fourth. Arm was hit so just one of those things but it’s not been his night so far.

Oooof, nearly the fifth.

Having a game to forget 

Ravens have been good

Scoring on 7 straight drives vs this D is insane.

Ravens D has been good, but the Ravens has busted up the niners D, and tbh I did not think teams could do it to the degree the Ravens have.

 

Lamar Jackson proving very elusive for the 49ers pass rush. He’s having a great game.

He has been so much better this year, they finally gave him a good receiving corp and he is much more dangerous for it.


@Gorgoroth @layzie @JV7 @DeeSpencer

Business end of the season arrives most notably with numerous teams jockeying for a playoff spot

And the tipping comp where DemonDave has shot away with Dr.Gonzo in hot pursuit ... the rest of us need to get creative

2 points on offer this week (plus a bonus point) and we finish off with 3 points in week 18

Good luck!!

49ers the standout choice and probably the Rams?  Otherwise, it's tricky (again)

Going for broke... 

49ers, Raiders, Rams

 

Rams, 49ers, Steelers 

Ravens and Lamar were excellent but we played into their hands. Choosing not to run as much early was a big mistake and overcommitting to blitzes made it very easy for Lamar to do his thing as lanes opened up and he waltzed out of the pocket. Not taking anything away from them but it wasn't good enough from a coaching standpoint.

Was tossing up between Raiders and Falcons, went with Falcons because I think they have more to play for technically still able to take out the NFC South. I guess the Raiders could still pinch a wildcard as well but that seems highly unlikely.

 

Cricket is done but we've got a good match-up tomorrow (Lions @ Dallas Saturday Night Football) 

But at this time of the year teams can start resting a few starters if their playoff spot is entrenched ... Dallas is the 5 seed and can't move from that spot unless the Eagles somehow slip up

Detroit can finish no worse than the 3 seed but can't finish any higher unless the Eagles or the 49ers falter in their last 2 games (which is unlikely) 

Still, Prescott vs Goff will be worth watching

Game kicks off at 12.15pm

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
