    Stafford passes Dan Marino into outright 9th all time completed passes made.

    For all the fools that have said he isn’t that good nor should be a first ballot HoF QB….

    EAT A GIANT BAG OF THEM!

    Nice win by the Rams today, bad call at the end but realistically would it have mattered? Vikings hadn't scored a TD since 1st quarter and had to go the entire field with about 1 min 40s and no timeouts. Not impossible but unlikely

    Rams with Nakua and Kupp back are a whole different ballgame, NFC West up for grabs and they hold a tiebreaker over SF already.

    All these people picking the Jets, you crazy. I mean we should win running away with it but I've watched too many Jets games to get too confident. In fact this has the makings of a Drake Maye breakout game just to officially kill our season off and add to the misery of Jets fans everywhere thinking the Pats have found a QB already.

    Hahahahahaha what did I say? This franchise is a [censored] clown show, I don't know how you ever fix this, send them to England, London Jets has a good ring to it (nice Red Dwarf reference too).

    Browns beat Ravens...

    wow

    With a 2nd string QB (Jameis Winston) ... but to be fair to Jameis, he had a fine game throwing 334 yards and 3 TD's (no interceptions)

    The Eagles look to be back in form as well

    Quite a few talking points in the NFC with Washington & Green Bay continuing to win (Love injured again but Malik Willis is a ready replacement)

    Although, Detroit are likely division winners in the NFC North ... Vikes, Packers and maybe the Bears playing for wild-card spots

    And any of the 4 teams in the NFC West could win that division with the Rams & Niners getting their starters back

    Atlanta have a great chance to win the NFC South with their next month to tell a story

    Winston should have been picked the play before the winning TD, Ravens player flat dropped it.

    Yeah sure and that dropped catch draws the focus ... but I see numerous dropped catches in every game 

    They are like free kicks in footy

    As an aside, are there ever any holding calls on a hail-mary?

    Of course, but when its at the end of the game its more of a focus. 
    But Winston flat balled out. Ravens offense is always decent but the run game was no where near as good and the Ravens D is the weak spot for the team.

    The focus should always be on the whole game 

    For instance, years ago a team was seemingly gifted a SB berth on the back of a bad call right at the end of the NFC Championship game

    But that same team copped a couple of bad calls in the first half

    Dropped catches should be a stat ... as should non-attempts!!  

    I'm damn sure the coaches would keep stats for those sorts of misses

    That wasn't a bad call, it was a good call :P

    And I agree with you, but its what we do.

    Ha ha!

    The yanks should get it right with their stats as what we see doesn't present the right picture

    Especially the dropped catch howlers!!  

    Where as Baseball goes the other way.  The stats in that sport are almost too meticulous!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
