just watched the cowboys highlights. 

Conceding 44 points is a whooping. Dallas D carved up. Saints ran the ball at will and Carr had all day in the pocket. Zimmer with lots of work to do.

Well Any Given Sunday was in full flight today… Some big upsets! 
 

Have a strange feeling my Falcons will keep the trend going in Philly tomorrow…

 

Just watched the PI on Cinci in the last minute.  Different rules in American football but there didn't seem to be a lot in it

I've seen a lot worse not paid (and vice-versa)

If Kirk Cousins can find his best form you're at least a chance of competing well

The Eagles are a good team though.  Error free and you can match them (easier said than done)

I knew I should've put the Saints. I was almost going to, that is the level of confidence I have in these Cowboys 🤣

It seems like Alvin Kamara has been around for well over a decade but he's only in his 8th year.  Certainly had a day out with 4 TD's and big yards

So Nacua looks like a 5-7 injury now, Kupp, John Johnso and Jonah Jackson all got injured and looks to be missing "an Extended time" I think thats coach speak for 4+ weeks

So lose our best WR, another G and our most experienced Safety after being slaughtered... 

 

EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK 

 

Don’t even get me started with the crud that was served up yesterday. The only thing worse than rocking up on Monday after losing to the Weagles in Perth this year is rocking up after losing to SAM FREAKING DARNOLD! No-one at work follows NFL so no-one has actually said anything but you can imagine what it would be like if they did. 

Kyle, Kyle. You’re a decent coach, apparently an offensive mastermind, but take away the play action and you’re not left with many ideas. No CMC is absolutely killing us, Mason has been great running between the tackles but Minnesota stacked the box repeatedly and snuffed this out. No McCaffrey means no outside runs, minimal play action, no sneaky routes into the flat and as a result, no receivers getting open. 

Even without CMC, Kyle has two of the highest paid receivers, a great TE, a half decent power RB, a future hall of fame LT and we still can’t beat the Vikes with Sam Darnold? A very good coach but has been and continues to be overrated in my eyes.

And on that I'm glad we paid Aiuik 30m to run around unsighted. Perfect example of someone who cannot get open without McCaffrey in the team, very little shake and bake when it comes to man coverage.

Best of luck mate, hopefully you knock them off!

So rumour of Deebo being out this week too, but thats ok you are playing the Rams who are worse than you 😄

 

Add to this list Higbee who is out most of the year, so essentially 7 of our best 11 on offence are out. 😢

Yeah he'll be out for a couple. Another who the offense struggles without when he motions.

Honestly think this game could be a coin flip Gorg.

Dreading the idea of traveling to Baltimore next week.

One more thing I'd like to add.

Thank you gentlemen for helping me get my head out of footy. I feel exhausted with all the drama from the last 4 weeks. 

Feels nice not to feel the urge of scrolling down all the current threads.

How 'bout them Cowboys!

Could be, but your D is very good, ours is poor, but in saying that its in LA and Verse has looked very good in his first two games. Just young and without AD99 we look shaky across the board😄


Good first half, Falcons run game looks very good, Eagles Run game good too.

Hope it opens up a bit more scoring wise for the second half.

Falcons are moving the ball well but once in the final 10 they cant get it home and keep settling for FG's

Barkley dropped the game!

 

Eagles just didn't bother with playing D in the last 2 mins.

Huge W for the Falcons

Season definer!

Is that 10 road wins?  So much for home crowd noise!!


Huge win! I am too much of a coward to tip them or having a wager on the $3 offered!

  • 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?

    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?
