Vikes got real lucky today. Played like crap all day and with 2 minutes left we score 10 and win. Rodgers didn't play today. Christian Ponder kidnapped him and took the field as Rodgers. That's the only way to explain that. Denver probably does have the best pass rush in the league and they don't need Peyton to be a MVP they just need a solid run game and no turnovers. Vikes are 3-0 in the NFC North without playing green bay yet so I don't think we are any threat to the packers in terms of winning the division. Next week is a big game for Rams at Vikings both are in the hunt for the wildcard spot. Both play a pretty similar game so it should be good to watch.

We have a new leader in the tipping comp ... Gorgoroth was lucky enough to pick up 2 points whilst most of the rest were put out of the running for points by the Packers.

Devastated...

The Vikes are playing well and the first of the Packers/Vikes clashes is in Minnesota (in a few weeks) ... even though Green Bay have played quite well all year Rodgers has struggled to find open WR's (highlighted in the game against Denver) Rodgers can thread the eye of a needle but it's a bit of a flawed strategy against the best teams.

Up until the Denver game our running game and defense has been reasonably good as well - but that part of our game hasn't previously been our strength and I'm not sure it can be relied on ... next week @ Carolina will probably test all facets of the Packers game. I'm much happier when Lacy and to a lesser extent Starks are impacting. Plus, we need to get much better on run defense.

The good news is that there are not too many really good teams in the NFC ... despite their W/L records, I'm not entirely convinced with the Panthers, Arizona or Atlanta. Others with poorer records might be more of a threat (Seattle, Giants, Saints) If Dallas sneak in they could be dangerous (Romo has been missed)

Both the Rams and Vikes have real opportunities to make the playoffs but as always, it's another fascinating season with any number of teams capable of making it through to January.

By contrast 3 of the 4 divisions in the AFC seem to be decided already & the Colts could conceivably win their division with only 8 wins.

Looking forward to today's game - hope it's close.

 

Well, we got a close one - Luck was awful early and then came good.

Newton was good without being outstanding ... ran with the ball well but he cops some hits.

The Colts now lead the AFC South with a 3 & 5 record. Panthers 7 & 0 to join 3 AFC teams with the same record.

Woo hoo! On top and we beat the niners!!!

The game between the saints and giants was amazing.

What a game. What a game.

Broncos played well, Rodgers looked a shadow of himself, normally so assured, I think Lacy needs to play well to give Rodgers more time without scrambling as much.

Luck was pathetic early on again, I was about to turn the game off with 5 to go but stuck it out, glad I did, Luck played bloody well after that.

On my Rams, still no decent pass game, but Gurley's ability should give more time to Foles. I'd like to see us play a lot more with two tight ends, and use Austin speed as one of the WR.

Now to try and keep my lead!

Our division will be interesting, cards lead with Rams and Seahawks chasing, in the Rams favour is we are 3-0 in our division already with home game to cards and away to Seattle and niners to come.

Looks like a couple of safish games then tough games.

Packers v panthers should be a cracker!

I thought 7 were showing all niners games...

Packers

Giants

Falcons (kaeperbick benched for Gabbert, our record against rookie/back up QB is terrible, worried about this game)

And good to see that as soon as Hayne is cut to the practice squad 7mate start showing the better games!

Gorg I don't think many will be surprised when they give Kap the flick as well. If they keep him on books they are on the hook for $16m next year for him I think.

A few of the pundits reckon that because Kaepernick is not great throwing out of the pocket, the other teams have stopped his run and have blitzed him more - I haven't watched the niners games but a similar tactic was used on RG3.

All the same, it's a remarkable fall from grace considering he took the 49ers to 3 x NFC Championship games and a SB.

He may or may not get back but Cards is on the money with regards to the 49ers almost certainly cutting their losses. It's not all his fault of course because San Francisco as a team are struggling in a lot of areas.

Not sure that Gabbert is going to make much of a difference.

Gabbo will prob do nothing either, the broom is going through SF and I reckon they will draft big next two years and try and get another big QB.

Def spying him much more and then taking away his runs as much as possible.


I don't understand why coaches don't play to their QB's strengths. Kap and rg3 play well with the read option. Washington and SF have tried to morph their QB's into brady/brees. It's not that simple. It wasn't long ago Washington were leading in a playoff game against seattle before RG3 got hurt. It also wasn't long ago that Kap was killing it with his leg speed which opened up some big time throws. The playoff game against Green Bay would've given teams nightmares over Kapernick. He destroyed them that day. Now both will probably look elsewhere for a start and Kap has a huge contract which makes it worse.

Not a bad game today. Manziel finally looked like a good QB. I have been very underwhelmed with that he had shown, but today he was good.

Giants

Atlanta

Eagles

Eagles over Cowboys... Tough one, hope the Eagles win, but a div game and Bradford still not fitting in 100%, Chip not getting Murray more north/south runs and he is struggling.

Dallas without Romo are a below average team whilst the Eagles aren't too bad.

I wouldn't be putting any real money on Philadelphia though :ph34r:

Atlanta are probably the only road team who "should" win ... the rest of it is a crap-shoot.

Ha ha, completely agree.

I'd stick with Kap for next year, but I've got no problems with them giving him some time off now to stop the punishment.

I doubt trying to change the way he plays is the entire problem. They've lost their QB guru coach. Most of their defense to lean on, their once league leading O line and veteran RB.

It's hard for any QB to get out of the pocket and run or pass when the O Line can't hold up and they don't have a running game. Obviously it's a round 1 aberration now but Kap looked fine against the Vikings in the first game of the year when they had a strong running game and the defense were making plays.

I'd keep him regardless of the contract but first I'd fire the hapless coaching staff and try to bring in some talent around him.

Thought about the Raiders, considered Philly and really tempted to go back to the wall with GB even though they let me down last week. But in the end:

Atlanta

NY Giants

Denver

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
