Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Allen missed a few easy throws late to go for it all.

Outside of the Bills avoiding the Chiefs in the playoffs, they need to change things up. I know the missing linebackers would have hurt but Kansas secondary was banged up too.

Wide right, the most dreaded words in Bills history. That was probably the best chance Buffalo will ever have beating Kansas in the playoffs. Allen was a bit wayward and as much as he makes good plays with his feet I do think he puts himself in harm's way quite often. Was also very fortunate on that fumble they recovered. Ravens and Chiefs AFC Chamlionshop game should be interesting.

On the NFC side Dan Campbell does it again. So much credit goes to the Detroit Lions. They go on to meet the Niners in the conference title game and I've got no doubt anyone that isn't a Niners fan will be pulling for Detroit. It's a shame because I would be too. Should be a great game too and hopefully it doesn't rain.

Detroit need to bring their best run defence and they are one of the best. McCaffrey can ruin the game. The Detroit oline has been great but the niners rush and pressure is next level. 
 

Ravens should beat Chiefs and beat them, whilst not comfortably I think they will control the game from start to end.

One thing we know about the lions, they won’t die wondering. It’ll be aggressive play calling all the way. I expect it’ll either be close and a tight win for either or a blowout win for the 49ers.

its Jackson v Mahomes in Baltimore. As good as Jackson has been If it comes down to a back and forth between those 2 I back mahomes.

going to be 2 great games. Looking forward to them.

49ers should win, by rights, but if luck plays a decent part, the Lions can win.  As you mentioned, if the Lions aggressive play calling works, Detroit are a real show

And if the best version of KC turns up, they can beat the Ravens.  Then there's the Taylor Swift factor (whatever that is)

For me of the Lions can stop the run as well as they have and Deebo not 100% it means they have a chance to keep the score down. 
The Oline for the lions could be the biggest factor. Give Goff a clean pocket and he can hurt them.

The Mahomes factor will be big but with their secondary banged up a bit and the run game of Ravens being very good I can’t see how they get enough stops on D, Ravens will end up with a bigger time possession by games end but as said. Mahomes can Mahomes.

Ravens 11points

Detroit 3 points (I do think the filthy niners will win, but I want the Lions to win 😄)

The story is amazing and there is a part of me that wishes I was in everyone elses shoes pulling hard for Detroit. 

At least if we lose it will be to a good story and not a hated rival, whether I feel this way on the day if it happens is another story.

If there is even 1ml of rain the Lions will win. 😜

Our defense has not been firing on all cylanders lately either. Can't get enough pressure on the QB and to be the broken record, Ferrell's absence is sorely missed when defending the outside run. Chase Young can't do it and Detroit are very effective when running the football. It also doesn't get mentioned enough how average our secondary can be at times. After Ward the dropoff at corner is cliff like, Lenoire is great physically but a hothead and Thomas is a walking PI to the point where at 3rd and long you just piff it up in his direction.

The holes are there to be exploited and the Lions could easily make a match of this.

All things being equal the 49ers should win by 2 scores.  But this is the NFL where odd things often happen!

So keep your fingers crossed, layz

Ravens 7-12. reckon their D will make more stops than the chiefs. But Mahomes is a genius, so you never know.

Niners 1-6. It'll be close but 49ers to just get over the line.

Falcons hiring Raheem Morris Rams DC @Gorgoroth... Staggering considering he was the interim coach at the Falcons in 2020 for a half a season & let him walk. 

It’s funny I have a love/hate relationship with Him. His bend but not break mentality when we had a great D frustrated me, this year with a D full of rookies and no bodies he got the best of them. 
I wish him luck, now we have to find more coaches to go under McVay.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
