Your secondary might be banged up but the Eagles have still done a great job back there.

Against other teams we'd have racked up the score by now. 

That was a nasty hit ... hope the bloke is alright.  Friendly fire this time

I was just about to say Rodgers has thrown for 400+ yards... To a wide open Secondary....

And then THAT happens.

Amazing.

Rodgers throws a pick at Lambeau.

Football is the winner.

There should be another name for that ... I see a 'Pick' as a throw to an opposition player

But luck plays a part in sport.  Eagles were the better team on the night though.  It's a game of inches and we've had our fair share of luck over the years

If the Packers had a decent running game we'd have probably won ... more so at Lambeau though.  At Philadelphia it's tougher.

Oh and congrats on 300 pages for the thread.

He's got another 4 goes at it from close range. Can the Eagles double-up?  If so,  you deserve to win

Given what happened to Maddox, have to agree.

That's a massive win. Feels like 3 wins in one. Packers at home and playing well, Rodgers 400+ yards, 2 goal line stands with a D that was hurting and playing average... 2-2 becomes 1-3... Absolutely massive. Had that pencilled in as a loss... Mind you had Detroit as a win... so what do I know.

Yeah there should. Why throw slants at that position in the field?

Yeah agree on run game. That was the real difference. Rodgers shaded Wentz a bit, but not by a lot... The difference really was the run game of both sides compared to each other (as opposed to compared to run D).

 

300!!!! Fitting it's you and me ticking it over.

Packers have shown me enough to say that we can contend.  Eagles too

The NFC is up for grabs

Meanwhile over in the AFC the Pats can stay there.  Stay away from our conference!

Yeah. Says a lot when your Pats supporting mates message you laughing at how bad your team is even when they put 34 up against Packers at Lambeau.

Having another look... Packers D is properly legit this year. That's a helluva thing to do against them.

I still have a sneaky feeling Chiefs will threaten in a big way... But yeah. Pats historic. Apparently first team in Superbowl era to not allow an offensive TD through three games.

Jeez. Weird week. Most Dlanders off to a flyer in the tipping though. I don't reckon I got 3 weeks right through the whole season last year.

Dallas lose... no points for me. Somehow I don't mind.

It's been a good round for a comp based on tipping away wins. You could have just about used the dartboard this week & got away with it.


Well Goff gave up more horrendous INT’s (gotta be nearly as many as last year.)

Coach Dungy said, they know if you pressure Goff, and he is no good. 

Wonderkid McVay gotta come up with a new plan, no running game, Gurley looks half the player he was and a QB that is failing in the red zone big time. 

Seahawks this Thur. 

Personally this NFL season is going as well as the Dees season..  I hate sport, might have to take up  hobbie that doesn't build me up to constantly [censored] me off ?

Rams at Seattle @Macca

Dont back us, we will lose this 17-31

You'd probably get 100-1 on that exact scoreline! 

What's the bet it comes off? (100-1 of course)


Vikings, Bears, Pats

 

Bugger...though a very enjoyable game for a neutral today.

Here is my thoughts as I watched the game. 

Qtr 1

Still no 1st qtr TDs, Goff is missing easy passes, takes great field position and does very little with it, throws into double coverage all too often.

Lockets TD catch was epic, we dominate and they take the lead. Gurley looks good

 

Qtr 2

Goff is still poo early, Our secondary think more of covering spare grass than players down the field. Peters shouldn’t get a contract next year. Use that money elsewhere. O-line is needed.

Kupp is a star. Gurley is stripped after Goff finally looks good.

Seattle hit Goff low, huge mistake as Goff fires a bullet to Kupp. 

We get ball to start 2nd half. Game on. Gotta stop the big plays, secondary needs to get on their game.

Donald is the best player in the league bar none. I would pick him if I was starting a team over every other player.

 

Qtr 3. 

Love the start, get it to the TE’s who have been ignored due to WR and Gurley, then Gurley paaaaaaayounded it in from the 8yrd line.

Goff throws behind Woods when we are on our 2 yard line. Still don’t like him with pressure, he should and needs to hit that pass, he was not under that much pressure. He just plain pooped his pantaloons again. then next play he nearly throws a pick after taking Waaaaaay too long. 3 and out.

Yup. Peters is overrated. Gives up way too much and if Phillips can’t make him elite, he will stay full of potential and good moments .

 

Qtr 4.

Good hold by the D early. 

Goff throws a great pass to Cooks, got us out of a 3 and out. 

So many penalties against us and each there and most bloody stupid. Just killed a first down. 3&13 now.

What a throw to get over that 3rd down!

Challenge of Woods was close. Unfortunately prob right call. 

So many missed tackles especially in the backfield. Should have had at least two more sacks, and 3 or more loss of yards on Carson. (Who has been immense)

RTP CD Matthews is a [censored] disgrace.

Absolute bloody terrible decision.

How the hell is Carson alone in the end zone???

Great defending by Peters on the 2. 

Still fuming on the Matthews call! Fuming! 

Goff stains his pants again and throws a pick after missing two other throws.

Wilson throws it back to Lockett for a big loss. Doesn’t even give them a chance for a 4th down go.

Goff should have been picked again. 2nd and inches and he throws. Bad call. Pound it.

False start... urrrgggghhh kills you.

Don’t know what our penalties are at but it would be big yards.

Great block from Gurley. 

Massive throw and grab for Everett 

Heart is pounding!

Delay of game... what the hell!

Gain of 9

Enter Zuerlien...

No good. By inches.

 

Shattered.

The Matthews penalty cost us the lead and Goff couldn’t get it back.

Cooks getting injured seem to hurt us late as they stayed more with Kupp and Woods. 

[censored] I hate Seattle.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
