Mate I’ve seen enough of my teams stuff it up vs crap teams and now Darnold is going to be replaced he will be out to prove to other teams he is worth taking.

Trailing 13 - 3 at half time ... who would have thought?  Well, you did foresee trouble ahead!

I reckon you'll recover and win but that's an average start to say the least

Bloke at work all week was saying he was dropping a massive amount on us at $1.05, I finally convinced him not too, reckon he wasn’t happy with me today. He was thinking near around a 1k bet.

 

I knew we would screw it up, it’s the most obvious thing to do and just once again proves that Goff is a massive down hill skier and McVay is close behind.

We Dont lose when in front at half time and never win when down with a few mins to go.

Probably the upset of the season Gorg

You'll still make the playoffs but on the road throughout now?

And thanks to your thoughts on the Rams game.  I excluded that game in my 8 pick multi ... and I got it up for a very nice Christmas bonus.  Close on 4 figures for a small outlay

Dee Zephyr's Bears pick upped the anti and I fancied Dallas at home.  The rest won as they were supposed to do.  All 5.00am starts too

Happy days but KC are the team to beat from an overall perspective.  Well coached,  a superior QB and just very competitive team-wise

Not totally convinced with the Packers but none of the NFC teams are great.  Home field won't mean much without a crowd ... which brings the road teams into it

Just got to get hot for 4 playoff weeks and the title is up for grabs!

Agree on NFC, Packers and saints are best and can win it, but both aren’t in great form at the minute. 
Chiefs are still the team and TBH the titans with Henry are dangerous. 
 

Glad I could help out the multi ?

I was gutted yesterday when Mayfield threw over a wide open Njoku to a tightly covered Landry in the end zone. Njoku scoring was my only miss...

Bengals spank Steelers. 
Big Ben and his offence once again were kept in it by their D, colts and browns next two weeks and the Steelers could lose them both.

Siad they were the worst 11-0 team I’ve seen and I stand by it.

Browns can easily take the division - if they beat the Jets and the Steelers lose this week vs the Colts, that final Week 17 game will be for the division.

Wonder if a club's ever started 11-0 and failed to win the division.

No idea on that, I know the 69 Rams lost 3 after being 11-0 (14gane season) and lost their playoff, 2009 saints lost 3 in a row after being 11-0 and then won the SB.

@layzie  @Gorgoroth  @DemonDave  @JV7    @titan_uranus  @DeeSpencer  @Clintosaurus  @Dee Zephyr  @Go the Biff 

We've entered the Flemington Straight and we now have joint leaders!  t_u has joined Clint in the lead after securing a vital 2 points in week 15.  And we play for 2 points again this week before playing for 3 big points in week 17

Looks a race in 2 but in the world of tipping, anything is possible.  As stated here last week,  most of us still in the running will need to be quite creative with our tips.  Podium positions are still available for those out of the race

And 7 participants can still win it all (either outright or as a joint winner)

It's all to play for so good luck!

 

Leaderboard - Tipping Comp

13 - Clintosaurus,  titan_uranus

10 - Go the Biff

9 - Gorgoroth,  Macca

8 - JV7,  Dee Zephyr

6 - layzie,  DemonDave,  DeeSpencer

1 - Others

 

Some standout road winners loom large (on the surface of it) but beware of the trap game!

An interesting set of games coming up

Ok, so here is what I don’t get with McVay. 
Ive said before that I think he is going down the path of trying so hard to be cutting edge he misses the fundamentals to the game and the old saying, you need to beat us at what we are doing before we switch to plan B.

Mcvay starts games on plan F I’m sure. Previous two wins we have predominantly gone with 2WR 2TE set and ran the ball well after struggling to really establish the run fully and then struggling on the passing game. 
jets game. McVay uses 3WR 26/30 in first 30 for 94yrds and 0-7 on third down.

 

WHY THE [censored] CHANGE???

 

Now Akers is out for the season. Rams are nigh on done and dusted.

We lose our best RB and they get all of theirs back. Ramsey has to lock Metcalf out of the game again and AD will need to be at his disruptive best.

Goff is a hot cold player, if he is cold we are stuffed, if they let him get hot early and he doesn’t have to chase the game that help and same applies to McVay. 
 

Tbh I’m more confident about this game than the Jets but it’s a 50/50 game at best.

I feel like Sean and Kyle are really similar in this way. They both seem to want to change the game rather than go with what works well a lot of the time. And are real stubborn in the process as well. 

I don't know if Sean does this but lately Kyle seems to waste time designing plays for some of our crappest receivers.

Only just tuned in to the end Gorg. Assuming Brees had a better run than early this week?

Brees did well, threw some early to not take the hit, one leading to a INT and another that should have, he ain’t 100% but worlds better than last week, especially missing 2 of his best WR.

I sort of don’t mind that a bit as woods and Kupp are similar WR. VJ and Reynolds are different so you can try and get them in a fav match up. TBH, we need to use our TE’s more, when we are both Kupp and Woods benefit as does our run game.

But yeah, McVay def wants to be the innovator. To do so he needs a dual threat QB, Goff doesn’t run often (more this year than previous, but not great speed ) and needs a clean pocket to be deadly. 
 

But for me, look at Andy Reid, calls good solid plays most of the game and sometime Mahomes just does what he does, but it’s mostly a solid offence than works on fundamental plays.

According to this article, it's never happened before - all 11 teams to go 11-0 prior to this year's Steelers won their division.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward.

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
