Although Watson's rushing TD was quite impressive though.   Don't know much about him but he looks like he can at least run well with the ball.

That was a good play. One of a very few that happened all game long.

    Yep.

    Looking ahead, Houston might win their division if Watson is decent.  They'd have a chance regardless as the AFC South is wide open.

    The D of both teams was very good. If the Texans get their players back their O might be decent enough.

    Yep ... and such is the nature of divisional football, a team can win a division, get hot at the business end and win the whole thing.

    We've seen it happen with the Steelers,  Giants,  Packers and 1 or 2 others. 

    For that reason alone, the sport is fascinating.  It's like following 8 different leagues within the 1 big league.  It's a great system.

    I feel like everyone will pick very similarly this week. I'll take Pats, Cards and Titans.

    Same as last week, I'm always looking at a point of difference, hence I liked th Vikes this week.

    WOO HOO! My first points of the year thanks to Arizona being marginally less terrible than Indi.

     

    Meanwhile. KC. Damn fine football team.

    Why do we not have a fantasy comp for players on here?

    Ah damn, I've forgotten to do this tipping thing for the first two weeks. Rookie move!

    Not to worry ... there are still a couple of others who haven't got off the mark.

    We could do it Dappa ... maybe a designed system where we don't have to ever come back here and adjust our line-ups.  Just pick our players, lock 'em in and see how it pans out. 

    Here's a idea that I thought up ... we all pick 2 x QB's,  2 x WR's,  2 x RB's,  2 x Kickers,  2 x TE's & 2 x Defensive players.  Bur then, we only count the fantasy score of 1 of each pair of players.  This allows for injuries and such-like. 

    Others might have better ideas but the above idea could take less than an hour for participants and that's the extent of the time needed. 

    The time consuming bit would be for whoever runs it :ph34r:

    A few observations ...

    • Atlanta have bounced back and they're the team to beat in the NFC ... however,  the Panthers might push the Falcons especially if they at least split their 2 games against Atlanta. 
    • Order is restored with the Pats doing it easy in the big easy
    • The AFC West division could turn out to be a real battle - KC,  Denver & Oakland all look the goods whilst the Chargers can play spoiler.  Carr looks terrific and Reid's teams always compete well
    • Baltimore could push the Steelers all the way in the AFC North.  They look solid,  Pittsburgh the same
    • Jay Cutler gets a win for Miami - whooda-thunkit?
    • The Rams drop a game they could easily have won ... the NFC West could be a tight division with Seattle not looking all that impressive either.
    • Packers outplayed but again,  the Falcons came out firing and full credit to them.  The scoreboard flattered Green Bay in all honesty.
    • The Cowboys came down to earth with a thud although playing in Denver is nearly always tough.  Siemian continues to impress for the Broncos. 
    • For divisional purposes,  I'm hoping that Eli & the Giants can get it done tomorrow.

    Rams D was horrible against the run again, Wade will rectify this over the coming weeks I'm sure but we got smashed early. 

    I honestly think Goff is starting to look like a decent pick as QB. Kupp looks like a great pick as a WR, Gurley was back in form. After watching decent chunks of the game I think with another 10 odd games together we probably win that game. I think the changers. 4-3 to 3-4 is leaving bigger gaps we are not use to but will tighten up.

    Got the niners on Friday. Looking forward to a full game.

     

    Falcons looked good, but I'll disagree Macca, I don't think the panthers will be a serious threat after what I've seen.

    Seattle and cards look very average and Inthink our div is very very open.

    Raiders look bloody solid. 

    Broncos also look like a team to beat. Dismissed the Cowboys at times.

    shattered that Bradford missed the Vile's game, wouldn't have tipped them.

    Yeah Gorgo ... the Panthers have got a tough road schedule.  You're probably right.

    Tampa might be decent though ... they're getting talked up.

    Buccs looked great. I've always had a soft spot for them.

    Love how Beckham wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL. I wouldn't even have him the highest paid WR. Giants looked very poor on offence today, their D was solid enough especially without Jenkins.

    Losing your two starting tackles was always going to make life tough for Rodgers wasn't it.... Having said that he gave up 14 points with unlike Rodgers plays, that interception he threw right on the half and the forced fumble (which was line ball) whether those mistakes were due to the pressure he felt with the makeshift O-Line or not.. I'm okay with how we are looking, I honestly find myself in some sort of feeling nothing, is this what it's like to following a side when winning more games then not ? Or I just may be been reserved after what happened last season...

    Falcons were always going to be a weird one really season as no one knew how badly the loss last year scared them. Panthers wwent to a heap after their loss.

    The Panthers are a weird one. I wasn't that impressed with them in week 1. They may well have the most fierce defense around though and Luke Kuechly is back to his old self.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
