Next week's games

Mon 7.00am Kansas City @ Baltimore (-3.5)

Mon 10.30am Detroit @ San Francisco (-7.0)

Allen missed a few easy throws late to go for it all.

Outside of the Bills avoiding the Chiefs in the playoffs, they need to change things up. I know the missing linebackers would have hurt but Kansas secondary was banged up too.

 

Mon 7.00am Kansas City @ Baltimore (7-12)

Mon 10.30am Detroit @ San Francisco (13+)

Wide right, the most dreaded words in Bills history. That was probably the best chance Buffalo will ever have beating Kansas in the playoffs. Allen was a bit wayward and as much as he makes good plays with his feet I do think he puts himself in harm's way quite often. Was also very fortunate on that fumble they recovered. Ravens and Chiefs AFC Chamlionshop game should be interesting.

On the NFC side Dan Campbell does it again. So much credit goes to the Detroit Lions. They go on to meet the Niners in the conference title game and I've got no doubt anyone that isn't a Niners fan will be pulling for Detroit. It's a shame because I would be too. Should be a great game too and hopefully it doesn't rain.


Detroit need to bring their best run defence and they are one of the best. McCaffrey can ruin the game. The Detroit oline has been great but the niners rush and pressure is next level. 
 

Ravens should beat Chiefs and beat them, whilst not comfortably I think they will control the game from start to end.

One thing we know about the lions, they won’t die wondering. It’ll be aggressive play calling all the way. I expect it’ll either be close and a tight win for either or a blowout win for the 49ers.

its Jackson v Mahomes in Baltimore. As good as Jackson has been If it comes down to a back and forth between those 2 I back mahomes.

going to be 2 great games. Looking forward to them.

49ers should win, by rights, but if luck plays a decent part, the Lions can win.  As you mentioned, if the Lions aggressive play calling works, Detroit are a real show

And if the best version of KC turns up, they can beat the Ravens.  Then there's the Taylor Swift factor (whatever that is)

 

Chiefs @ Ravens (1-6)

 Lions (1-6) @ 49ers

For me of the Lions can stop the run as well as they have and Deebo not 100% it means they have a chance to keep the score down. 
The Oline for the lions could be the biggest factor. Give Goff a clean pocket and he can hurt them.

The Mahomes factor will be big but with their secondary banged up a bit and the run game of Ravens being very good I can’t see how they get enough stops on D, Ravens will end up with a bigger time possession by games end but as said. Mahomes can Mahomes.

The story is amazing and there is a part of me that wishes I was in everyone elses shoes pulling hard for Detroit. 

At least if we lose it will be to a good story and not a hated rival, whether I feel this way on the day if it happens is another story.

If there is even 1ml of rain the Lions will win. 😜

Our defense has not been firing on all cylanders lately either. Can't get enough pressure on the QB and to be the broken record, Ferrell's absence is sorely missed when defending the outside run. Chase Young can't do it and Detroit are very effective when running the football. It also doesn't get mentioned enough how average our secondary can be at times. After Ward the dropoff at corner is cliff like, Lenoire is great physically but a hothead and Thomas is a walking PI to the point where at 3rd and long you just piff it up in his direction.

The holes are there to be exploited and the Lions could easily make a match of this.

All things being equal the 49ers should win by 2 scores.  But this is the NFL where odd things often happen!

So keep your fingers crossed, layz

Chiefs 1-6

Niners 7-12

Falcons hiring Raheem Morris Rams DC @Gorgoroth... Staggering considering he was the interim coach at the Falcons in 2020 for a half a season & let him walk. 

Ravens 7-12. reckon their D will make more stops than the chiefs. But Mahomes is a genius, so you never know.

Niners 1-6. It'll be close but 49ers to just get over the line.


With only 2 head coaching jobs yet to be filled (Washington & Seattle) it seems that Bill Belichick may end up getting squeezed out

It’s funny I have a love/hate relationship with Him. His bend but not break mentality when we had a great D frustrated me, this year with a D full of rookies and no bodies he got the best of them. 
I wish him luck, now we have to find more coaches to go under McVay.

 

KC 7-12

Detroit 1-6

  • 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?
