Well tha's it for the Eagles can't see them making the finals now losing to the Dolphins how embarrassing. There's always next year. Foles is better than Wentz.

Bring back Foles? 

Just joking!

Whichever team wins your division will probably end up playing a lot better by the end of December than either team is playing now.  So there's a bit of hope with 1 home final.  

lol

Yeah that's true. I think Cowboys, if they do improve, stand the best chance of doing damage. Eagles were dogs in every playoff they won the superbowl in.

lol Please... Wentz was in the MVP race before they won the superbowl. Not one serious football fan has Foles as a better player than Wentz. Before his line and receivers got decimated recently (could happen to anyone) he was in the top 10 QBs on most estimates.

Oh and in case you didn't notice, he threw 3 TDs, had 310 yards and only gave away the pick in the end on a hail Mary... still had 93 QB rating. They lost cos of their deplorable secondary. Not Wentz.

But sure... you go ahead and pick the guy who just got benched by the Jags for a Rookie.

Even so,  you should be able to beat Washington & the Giants (twice)

And if you beat Dallas as well you're in the playoffs.  A tougher draw and I'd say no real chance (because of the way you're playing right now) but if your offense plays to their best you can win all 4.

Win at home to the Giants and the team might just rally.  But you'll need your offense to get you over the line in all 4 games.  It's do-able.

Yeah. Cos Cowboys lost...

It's hard to get excited for though. Just knowing how it's just not a good squad. I've been gushing over the 49ers, Saints, Pats, Ravens and others all year. Just haven't seen a big time performance in even one game yet from the Eagles, even in one they've won. Just got past Packers, and beat Bills probably the only ones.

We have a new leader in the tipping comp - Gorg (former winner) has shot to the front entering the home straight!  The value of 1 point is never more evident than right now.  Tough week to find 3 road winners too.  Good luck!

Can’t believe Dallas are leading a division. Seems they are a shell of what they were. 

Yeah there often seems to be at least 1 division where we see a winner by default only.  And how many times do we see those underperforming division winners win in the first week in the playoffs?  Happens a bit

Here's hoping all my Rams love the past couple of years gives me some cred with the football gods.

I feel that way about a number of 49ers games this year.

@Dappa Dan, tonight’s game was horrendous, but I challenge any team to play a game with only 1 WR on the field of half of it. And going into the game with only one decent WR who goes out 5 mins into the game.

In Saying that, your D didn’t look great at times and Wentz missed passes that he makes two years ago. The Eagles have i5 all in front of them, what they or the cowboys do in the last 3 weeks is undpredictable

 Week 15 already!  2 points on offer in the comp and there are more than a few road teams with a chance of winning (which includes 2 or 3 standouts chances)  Could be a trap game in amongst them though.  Good luck!

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Picket Fence endured the sweltering heat on a windy day out at Casey Fields to bring you the following Preseason Training Report.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.
