Didn't see the game just the highlights. It looked like a great game. That Interception by the colts was damn good and Sproles and McCoy looked electric.

    The Colts pick at end of 1st half? Was a sort of hail mary really.... but an athletic take for sure. The Eagles one that won the game was actually a penalty. SHouldn't have been allowed.

    Top game to watch and an excellent win by the Eagles. McCoy & Sproles were terrific and Foles had a good game.

    The Colts could have won it but that interception was costly. Luck was good for the most part and I thought Richardson had a very good game.

    Anyway, there were 7 road winners and I went 0/3 in the comp. Typical.

    The points tally

    0 - Everyone (joint leaders)

    Good game, Sproles is a star.

    Luck will be in the top 3 QB's in three years time, such a complete player even so young.

    Eagles were a early tip of mine to win division and do well in play offs, they will need to lift tho, Colts should have buried them early.

    Luck didn't even play that well, somehow I looked at his stats and he was only on about 60 or so yards in the third quarter... and somehow it felt like he was gonna kill us at any moment. When he got it right, my god, he got it right. When Brees, Brady and Peyton are done, he'll slot in to one of their spots in the top 5. Almost certainly hall of fame.

    Yeah, Luck has already slipped into that role where we don't sort of notice him unless he does something special. He's very good though, all the same.

    That's a huge win for your blokes in the whole scheme of things ... especially when considering your rivals in your division. The Cowboys might be your only competition the way it's shaping up but really, it's yours to lose. The Giants look woeful and RG3 could be out for quite some time (although I've heard he may not need surgery)

    In my division, the NFC North, Green Bay go to Detroit then Chicago in the next 2 weeks whilst Detroit and Chicago both visit the Jets over the next 2 weeks as well. The Vikes are at New Orleans and then host Atlanta.

    I mentioned previously that 9 wins might win the NFC North as I don't believe there's a standout side. Detroit promise much but rarely deliver, Chicago always seem to get a lot of injuries and the Packers leak too many points. The Vikes without Peterson are obviously not as strong. It's up for grabs.

    The NFC West could get interesting if Arizona keep winning ... the Cards next 6 games are ... vs 49ers, @ Denver, vs Washington, @ Oakland, vs Eagles & @ Dallas. They could win 4 of them and be 6/2.

    And New Orleans better get a hurry on in the NFC South ... the Panthers look good and already have a 2 game lead over the Saints and ... Atlanta have some winnable games coming up.

    And how 'bout those Bills & Texans?

    - Yeah massive for Eagles. I definitely didn't think we could win it right up until the penultimate drive, where I thought if they don't go for it on 4th down, we'll win. Still don't really understand how they did it. No way they have the Colts' talent.

    - I have a feeling that right up until week 15 Dallas will be one game behind Eagles and just never go away. Their D is fine. It'll get exposed but has done a great job so far. Their offense is giving up more TDs than they are. Giants are terrible, but not so bad that they'll get Mariotta. RG3 out will probably help Skins in the next few weeks somehow. But yes, put what you got on Eagles to make postseason. After what I saw this morning, I can't see how they'll miss.

    - You've got that right on NFC Norf... WAY too hard to pick. WIll come down to injuries/suspensions/criminal investigations. Though I safely put the Pack ahead of the others in the long run.

    I don't understand what you mean about Jacksonville? The stat counts for everyone regardless of teams. Not an important stat, I'll grant you... but still a bit of fun.

    To come back from 14 down twice to start the season you have to be very good right? Particularly as one of those games will be on the road. So I think it's rare to find a team good enough to come back from behind once but also having the ability to be bad enough to go behind 14. That's my point really. The Eagles come back at Indy was remarkable, that they were ever down 14 to Jacksonville is just as remarkable!

    You've got as much talent on defense as the Colts without Mathis, you've got a way way better offensive line and RB's, not a huge difference between the tight ends and WR's. They've got you covered at QB but sometimes there's only so much a QB can do. I thought they'd beat you being at home, but a close game was to be expected.

    Damn Indy, they haven't drafted or signed FA's very well. They haven't really developed a run of great players or any special systems. But they had 15 years of Manning, a gap year then 15 years of Luck. And they have Houston, Tenn and Jacksonville in their division. If they aren't some of the luckiest sports fans in the world then who is!

    I would argue the Eagles TE outdoes theirs. Especially in that system vs Eagles system.

    And yeah, it's easy being an Indy fan.

    Only team I really like is the Colts to beat Jacksonville, they simply have to win

    And I'll go with the Packers because at least if I'm wrong it keeps the division level for my Bears

    Ravens, Charges, Texans even the Cowboys (bless them) might be the logical pick, but I'm going to be unorthodox and go with:

    The Bucs, to bounce back from 0-2 against back up QB's and shock the Falcons in the Georgia Dome on Thursday night

    Loving the early season form of the Bills. Great for football. The Browns have played pretty nicely as well.

    Also good to see the Saints, Packers, Seahawks and Patriots all get some early losses. Gives everyone a hope that some of those teams won't just roll through the year dominating.

    Surely Washington has to bite the bullet and play Cousins over RGIII even if he's fit? And surely it's Bortles time in Jacksonville?

    Fixed :)

    There's nearly always around 3 new teams that make the playoffs ... often any of those 3 are teams that have played playoffs more recently. Can't remember the last time Buffalo made it though.

    Big game for your blokes this week @ Arizona - an early in the year ... "season definer?"

    With the Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and Broncos coming up on Monday (7mate ... 6.25am) it might be worth having a look at the soundbites and highlights of the Super Bowl played between these 2 teams (produced by NFL films)

    Seattle / Denver 1st half (approx 8 mins)

    Seattle / Denver 2nd half (approx 9 mins)

    I think it's five isn't it? Actually I read somewhere the average is something like 5.8 new teams every year in playoffs...

    Wow ... that's a lot and more evidence on how good this league is.

    Found out that Buffalo haven't made the playoffs since the late 90's so they're overdue. Makes the Demons record look quite good in comparison :)

    • 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?
