I watched the Denver-SD game yesterday as well, albeit knowing the result, couldnt believe the way Rivers self destructed! That was an all time choke.

Full credit to Peyton, he was putting the ball right between the numbers of his receivers too, a real great win - that division is theirs for the taking now given

the Raiders and Chiefs are stinking it up again.

Cant wait for tomorrow mornings game, Wilson has been mightily impressive for a rookie, lets hope we dont see too may skittle incidents either. I was totally

shocked at the way the Giants dismantled the Niners game on Monday, it looked like the bad old days for Smith again and Gore didnt have a single carry in

the second half.

Be intersesting to see how RGIII goes against the Giants this week. Ravens lose their spiritual leader for the year, and possibly forever, but the Ravens are

still cruising in their division.

NFC North will be possibly the most interesting Division from here to the end of regular season, 3 genuinely decent teams on evidence so far. Could the

Packers miss on the playoffs? Based on Rodgers game this week you'd say no but the VIkings and Bears intra Division games will be crucial.

Falcons continue to roll, I havent seen a single game of theirs this year, is Matt Ryan in All-Pro form or have the whole team stepped up?

I'm still not totally sold on Atlanta though it's hard to fault winning form . Their schedule isn't too tough from here on in so they could easily end up with the 1 seed . They could 'Dome it' right through to the Super Bowl (which is at the Superdome)

Should be a good one tomorrow . Harbaugh will have your blokes fired up you'd reckon .

For a week 7 preview here's Bill Simmons/Cousin Sal podcast ... http://espn.go.com/e...play?id=8509315

Here's the full week's games and Bill Simmons column ... http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8524001/a-hierarchy-hypocrites

VIKINGS (-5.5) over Cardinals

I still believe in the Vikings — you could see that Week 6 stumble in Chocolate City coming from a mile away. Now here's a case where the Year of the Underdog helps a "favorite" pick: The Cardinals can't block and can't play from behind, and now they're in a dome against Jared Allen and a team that loves playing with a lead. The line should be higher.

Giants are looking pretty decent for a team who lost 2 starters to FA, Have a different receiver go down every week and the hardest draw, but Eli stepping it up the way he did last year. And how good is it having Peyton back in the league, absolute joy to watch.

Reckon this is the most even race for a while now, agree about not being convinced by the Falcons and Baltimore have lost Rice for the season. Going to be there throughout the play offs so really looking forward to it!

Was an interesting game between the niners and seahawks. Our division is wide open for once and the fact that the Rams are 2-0 in the division beating the seahawks and Cardinals gives me some deluded hope :)

With all 4 teams I believe in the top 10 total defense I think the NFC west has become a really interesting division.

ps I love Lynch for Seattle, he is a gem to watch.

I'll be using my swot vac period effectively, planning on getting up to catch the second half of the Rams Packers game. If Long and Quinn can bring the heat and minimise Rodger's impact we may be a chance but the depleted offensive line will have to keep Clay Matthews out of Sammy's face. Although he threw for 300 last week he needs to execute in the red zone if we are to take the W, can't expect the defence to keep this Packers juggernaut under 21

May the better team win 'Hipster' :) What's the odds on a close finish ?

A lot riding on this game . The loser will have a reasonably long haul back in either of their divisions . Being a 16 game season , teams that fall too far back start running out of games . Especially in our divisions, with every team being at least competitive .

Posted

Yeah our offensive numbers are great except for the final ball into the endzone.

Clay Matthews I usually love watching but dear god I reckon he will scare the beejezus out of our offensive line and Bradford.

We really need a strong running game to ensure the don't constantly strong blitz Bradford.

Good morning for some games. I thought Jets were terrible this season but New England needed overtime to beat them.

Watched the giants redskins game and washington fought brilliantly, but 4 turnovers in the 2nd half (5 all year was their downfall) Still thought they had won it when RGIII threw for a touchdown but then Eli one again showed his class to win it

And how unlucky were Tampa bay! 2 TD in the last 10 seconds both not given, last one very unlucky.

Posted

Vikings win in unconvincing style. Thank god for Peterson who ran for 150+ yards. Ponder doesn't have much form at the moment. He went the longest out of any starting QB to not throw a pick and now he can't stop throwing them. I need the bears to lose but I can't see that happening. Anyone watch the Houston Baltimore game?

The best team certainly won Macca, a garbage time touchdown made the scoreline appear respectable but Rodgers smoked our acclaimed secondary and Sam failed to get any rhythm going for much of the game with most drives stalling around the 50. Showed we still have some work to do if we are to match it with the big guys, while Packers' receiving group seems to be back on fire with Nelson and Cobb getting their 2011 form back.

In other games, a Ray Lewis depleted Ravens defence were trampled on by the Texans offence which seem to be back on track after a hurdle last week and can stake their claim as AFC's best.

I've still only seen edited highlights but from what I can gather, Rodgers had a huge game again . He's an immense player when on song and unfortunately for your blokes, he stepped it up again today . As you're no doubt aware , the Rams play New England next week at Wembley - another big game !

No real surprises today although the Jets and Redskins were both unlucky to lose . Houston made a statement and the Saints won again . With Brees at the helm they're capable of winning quite a few more games and will at least provide nuisance value . Their defence is woeful though and remains their achilles' heal .

Need the Lions to win tomorrow :-)

Edit : Just noticed that the Rams / Patriots game is on at Wembley Stadium (corrected post)

Confident, sort of . Bit concerned about the Bears - if they keep winning it might be out of your blokes and mine for a wild-card spot . Dare I say it , at Green Bay we're taking it "One week at a time" . Although It may well come down to the 2 games that we play each other (week's 13 and 17) .

Btw , how'd ya pull up after yesterday's 'Footy Forum' games ? Good to see we got another overall victory !

Posted

Rogers was huge, he was 20/22 at one stage with 200+ yards.

Rams still have a fair way to go, and I agree with hipster the TD at the end was flattering to us, but still we had good numbers again just can't put score pressure on opponents. But if you offered 3-4 at the start of the year I would have taken it.

Vikings aren't in much form at the moment ponder had 8 completions with 2 picks. The bears defense would tear us apart and we can't go toe to toe with that offense of green bay.

I pulled up very stiff from footy glenferrie oval was rock hard. I'm out with general soreness for the next six months. Those bomber boys try so hard and are starting to get lippy on the field. Might see if clay Matthews is a demonland member he could come in handy next year.

Ha ha ! Well done to you blokes all the same .

Those Lions were somehow still in the game right to the end despite being woeful in the red zone . In all honesty the Bears should have put Detroit away by the end of the 3rd quarter . Cutler took a huge hit from Ndamukong Suh . He seemed to recover ok but he'll no doubt have a bit of 'General soreness' himself tomorrow .

In the States, some are describing this 'Tackle' as some sort of 'WWE' move . Suh is just a beast of a man !

Those lions are in a lot of trouble. I know the NFC north is a tough division but I didn't see them being last. Should be a easy win for green bay this week and Jennings may return this week or next. Your of fence hasn't missed him much though.

Apparently each game held in the UK has sold out in rapid time . In 2008 there were 500,000 applications for tickets and they had to ballot them out in the end . Prices range from 45 - 100 pounds .

Yeah , that Giants at Dallas game holds a lot of interest . Always a big clash between those 2 rivals . Atlanta at the Eagles will be interesting as well . Quite a few good games this week . Washington at Pittsburgh is another good match-up as well as MNF and SNF .

And 'cfh' , your blokes are finally on the tele tomorrow ! On ESPN and not OneHD this week

Yes I finally get to see the Vikings but I'm happy to watch josh freeman too I think he is a damn good QB. Ponder should get some good numbers today the bucs secondary is pretty ordinary and if that fails we will just give it to Peterson he never fails.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
