I'm still nervous the Rams will move on from Stafford. 

If anything I'd rather stay with Stafford and be looking to stock pile some picks in the coming years that we might be able to trade for a higher pick to get a young QB.

I don't think they will move from Stafford. That would be a Raiders thing to do.

Really hope @Dappa Danis enjoying this. Great job mate.

Local lads Hall & Oates might be front & centre in those Philadelphia bars right now (just after 2am?!)

Dappa used to spend a bit of time in the States so he'll no doubt be celebrating hard!!!

Eagles 7-12

i actually think of Eagles win they prob do it by 14+

Good call, what a shocking performance by the Chiefs although the dominance of the Eagles D line just gave them nothing. Mahomes couldn't pull any tricks out of his sleeves though, just had absolutely nothing to give.

Congrats Philly, well deserved, can't believe Sirianni is a SB winning coach. Was a couple of losses from getting fired earlier in the year you'd think.

The front four of the eagles D were the Most Valuable People.

They were the most valuable people, most important players and very important persons

Donald Rumsford-like, layz

Not-noticed important players (the OL), barely noticed important people (the DL) and always noticed important persons (QB's, RB's, Andy Reid)

They probably had the best offensive line this year as well as the best D-line. Great example of building a team from the trenches.

The Eagles flew under the radar a trifle too ... Detroit & the NFC North, The Bills, Chiefs & Ravens in the AFC were often the main talking points

The final real pointer was the Eagles demolishing the up & coming Washington in the NFC Championship

And KC's luck ran out after so many narrow wins

But hey, isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!!

 

Josh Allen wins NFL MVP

Lamar Jackson a close up 2nd

Saquan Barkley a long way back in 3rd spot.  Yet his season definitely rivals Adrain Peterson & LaDanuan Tomlinson (who both won the award as RB's)

Could he have played any better? Averaging 142.7 yards per game

He's the main reason the Eagles got to the SB (in my view)

Funny enough the Rams got the closest to the eagles in the playoffs.

Gratz Macca!

It was all a bit anticlimactic (a bit like the actual SB!) but nevertheless, someone had to win the post season comp

More importantly, the regular season comp worked well with the changes in the points system ... kept everyone interested throughout, which is what we wanted

I might add, @Gorgoroth

The new regular season tipping comp points system, designed by you !!

Next year will be the 13th NFL tipping comp ... time flies hey!!

Now for the footy season and the Mighty Demons!  (I'm quietly confident we will at least play finals because if our list stays relatively healthy, we should get to at least 13 wins) 

Edited by Macca

13 years... man how time flies.

My Physio who I saw yesterday was talking about here time in Milwaukee working with the buck and how crazy the tow got when the packers were playing. said she had never seen the likes.

 

Combine, then draft and the trades, soo enough its September and the season is off and running again!

It's funny isn't it.

Wisconsin is undoubtedly a football state. Basketball has a solid following there with the Bucks and Badgers but football is definitely king.

I did think of getting an American footy for the winners to sign and keep for the year

But getting people together is problematical ... maybe Crown on a Sunday during the playoffs?  Week 2 of the playoffs

Bring a mate or 2?  I've got 3 or 4 mates who have a keen interest in the NFL

Worth a try, would take the DL NFL tipping group to a whole new level!

Rams have given Stafford permission to seek a trade... Flub me.

Yeah what's going on?

Raiders very interested.

So I'm hearing that both want for Stafford to stay and Stafford will accept under the $50m he wants to stay in LA. But they need to come to this arrangement.

But Raiders and Giants are coming hard, but would he leave for a little more money and go to a team rebuilding? 

If he does go, Rodgers is keen to play for LA and would be cheap so the Rams might be thinking, let stafford walk, get picks, have Rodgers at QB for a year or two and see what happens, trade up, not this draft but the next and get a QB then as the QB class is not great going by the experts.

Interesting two weeks coming up I reckon.

Can Rodgers really give the Rams much more than Stafford at this point of his career. It would have to be based around a cap saving surely but I just think why go through the whole new QB and learning a new playbook thing if you don't have to just yet?

Much cheaper and I heard that Rodgers last 9 games or so were rated up there with the best in the league.

We have also hired his old QB coach as ours has been promoted to another team iirc and I honestly think he could easily lay out playbook after being in Green bay.
Rodgers has praised McVay multiple times over the years too.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
