I like the Chargers again this week... No idea why but over the last week I've taken a liking to them, wouldn't be suprised to see them win the AFC

I like the eagles down the field vs the saints, I think if Foles gets good pocket time he could shred the saints secondary.

Also like the colts. Be interested in seeing Pmah on the big stage.

If Dallas and Eagles win, Texas may be sucked into the earth next weekend.

KC way too good ... smashed the Colts in yards gained especially in the first half.  But the surprise was the KC defence - superb.  The stats were padded-out in the 2nd half but the Colts were never in it. 

All that without a Mahomes TD pass so the upside is there as well.  At home again next week vs Pats or Chargers. 

[Macca 16,173]

Not exactly home field advantage for the Rams with so many Cowboy fans in the building ... it's more like a neutral field.  Dallas 7 Rams 3 after that Amari Cooper TD.

 

Edit:  And just like that the Rams go out to a 20 - 7 lead with 2 minutes to go in the first half.  Dallas with the ball.  The Cowboys don't seem to have an answer to the Rams running game - a massive 162 yards already with Anderson & Gurley dominating.

Rams win in impressive style with a supreme running game being the standout feature ... either at home to the Eagles next week or at the Saints. 

Either way,  the Rams have got their game going again - they're going to be hard to stop.

I’m in Tassie, so was just watching the BR app and seeing the numbers on the screen. Will watch Tuesday when I’m home, looks like both Anderson and Gurley worked well together, this pleases me.

[Gorgoroth 12,308]

If this trend continues Foles will be named Emperor of Phili and they will become their own country. 

14-0 with 4:35 in the first to go.

[Dee Zephyr 17,421]

Sheesh, looks like the Saints are still enjoying the music from their week off, Eagles on a mission.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Incredible start.

[Gorgoroth 12,308]

Unlucky on that strip sack. I’m about to leave my BnB and go mostly on the road so will not see more but the scores (if there is reception) 

Looks to me like an Eagles @ the Rams championship game!

[Gorgoroth 12,308]

Tale of two halves for brees. Injuries mounting for eagles through that qtr.

[Macca 16,173]

Hard luck there @Dappa Dan  ... only radio my end but it sounded like the Eagles put in a mighty effort.  The Saints covered Tate very well who seemed to be Foles' go-to man (more so late in the game?)

Stopped your run as well but you still could have won the game with an extra completion or 2.  But at New Orleans is always difficult and the home crowd noise via the radio coverage was deafening.  Going up 14 - 0 had no effect on the 12th man.

It will be the same next week for the Rams who will also need to find a way to quell Rivers,  Kamara,  Ingram & Thomas.

I wish the game was Sunday. Trying avoid scores all day at work will be a killer.

Im hoping we have a good plan for that but also that they struggle with our 1-2 running crew! 

Getting on plane soon to head home,  so first thing tomorrow morning I’m watching the game.

See they held zeke pretty well, which makes me happy.

Yeah, was moreso Alshon and Ertz on that last drive. Really did feel like it was inevitable after the roughing the passer penalty. Seemed the gods wanted Foles to keep going.

I think Rams play KC in superbowl, but i'll have a closer look.

Yeah,  I was hearing Foles to Tate a fair bit but must have been on the earlier drives.  Speaking of drives,  good teams seem able to have long drives as part of who they are. 

The Saints being no exception with that 90+ yard,  18 play drive that seemed to go on forever ... proved the difference as the Eagles just couldn't get hold of the ball and then keep it. Yet,  a couple more completions on that last drive and you possibly/probably win the game.

It will be one hell of a match-up.  Same goes for the AFC. 

In the end,  we got the best 2 teams from each conference so bring it on.
