Aaaand some sanity in the NFL again.

Broncos and Patriots against current good opposition manage to roll them handsomely. Saints win, albeit luckily. Chargers humiliate Jets... San Francisco beat Chiefs... All is well in football again.

Just looking now at the best records in the NFL. Only Philly, Dallas and Chargers are on 4-1.... And I gotta say the Eagles, while ahead on divisional record in the NFC East, might be the third best side in their own division. What a hopelessly mediocre game. Right now it's only luck and special teams keeping their heads above water... And their schedule:

Giants @Cards @Texans Panthers... Yikes. Could easily lose all four on current form.

Meanwhile Cowboys have:

@Seahawks then all home games....Giants Skins Cards

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Can someone please tell me why I didn't choose a decent NFL team.. I was sucked in by the falcons fluke 2012 season. I started following NFL to escape the frustration and anger that comes with following melbourne.. Is it too late to find a new team ?

Wow the jets are in a deep hole. Just no offense at all. The bills baby! I enjoy seeing them win. Seriously who could dislike Buffalo? Detroit couldn't kick a FG all day. With Chicago and the vikes losing as well Green Bay must be smiling. I still think San Fran won't make the playoffs. Just a hunch though. Bloody Dallas find a way to win. It's hard to admit but they are a little under rated. I hope Philly can put them back where they belong. Is Peyton the best regular season QB of all time?

The good thing about the NFL is it can turn around very quickly. You have talent in Atlanta. You also have injuries. Keep the faith and always remember you could be following the jets and demons. That is a deadly cocktail of sport right there.

Still no points to allocate in the tipping comp (otherwise known as ... "Intolerable Cruelty" - the sequel) Cinci put most of us out.

No change in the points tally ...

1 - Dappa Dan

0 - Anyone who can still be bothered.

Week 6 games - can someone please tip 3 winners? Otherwise we might have to make it the home teams for a week!! It does look a little easier next week, all the same.

No real surprises in today's games and Dappa summed up things quite well in the above post ... as for tomorrow's game, I give Washington a sneaky chance but Seattle should be too strong ... Seahawks 31 Washington 24.

After watching quite an average Rams v Eagles game I'm hoping today's is better.

Eagles special teams and defence were decent, their offence average with Foley throwing some stupid passes (half which came off).

For us, I think they tried to up the offence early and Davis didn't do great, but in the last quarter and s bit where we went to a more simplified game plan we stack on 21 unopposed points. In he last 2 mins Pettis dropped to catches that were first downs and we lose by 6. Didn't deserve to win, but could have stolen it.

We miss Long.

Oh joy, the niners on MNF.

I hate sport.

Why do I continually follow clubs that disappoint me on a weekly basis.

Melbourne...fukked, season over round one

Rams... Fukked, season over round four

Bolton... Fukked, season over from round one, manager already sacked, we then lose to a ten man team who had a player sent of 30 mins into the game FFS.

Anyone not tipping:

Denver

San Diego (always classy)

Can't settle on a third tip. Can't go against my Browns (AFC team, getting on the bandwagon early) after they came through for me last week, can't tip NE, Baltimore or SF and I don't want to ruin Thursday night football!

Green Bay (if I jinx them it's still a win!)

Davis was all over Foles in that game. Eagles very lucky to be where they are at the moment. The hype is correct in this case. I think if they're gonna get back to steady the ship it basically HAS to be the Pass rushers, Cole, Graham and Curry picking up. I can't see improvement anywhere else.

Which makes the rest of the NFC East breathe a big sigh of relief. There's no way they're gonna keep running in 2 TDs a week cos of special teams play.

JJ watt has more TD's then megatron.

If he continues his current form I hope he wins MVP. We've seen what Peyton does. Russ Wilson is having a solid year and plays well in big moments but he hasn't been exceptional. Rivers has but he's a gifted experienced pocket passer doing his thing. It's nothing knew. And of course we've seen players like Watt before but it's time for him to win the MVP, especially considering how bad Houston are when he's not involved.

Who picks the 7mate games. NE at Buffalo, good call, should be somewhat close if Buffalo can bring their defense and all that was wrong with the Pats offense isn't fixed in a week, plus it's a divisional contest.

But Washington at Arizona is the worst of the 3 games I think. Chicago at Atlanta would be interesting to see who keeps their season alive and Dallas v Seattle is clearly the pick of the 3 later games.

GMMM... Good point, however, they USUALLY put on Denver. And as much as they're like the Hawks of the NFL.... a good advertisement for the game... I'm dead set bored of them.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
