i had planned to pick the vikings so glad i forgot to put my tips in yesterday

packers chiefs ravens

 

 

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.


Ravens,  Chiefs,  Packers

@Clintosaurus  @DeeSpencer

Tips, gentlemen

 

Ravens, Chiefs, Bills

Nah @Dr. Gonzo you got this! 10pt win coming up.

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!

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
