Big game today!

A lot of eyes will be on Aaron Rodgers with regards to his overall ability at the ripe old age of 40

In his last year at GB, he was sacked a lot, but the offensive line was banged up back then 

And the Jets defence being strong is another big factor that Rodgers wouldn't have seen a lot of

As for the 49ers, they are coming off a SB loss so it will interesting to see how they bounce back

McCaffrey being out for San Francisco is a blow (calf) 

And a year on, Purdy could be even more of a weapon

49ers 28  Jets 18

I do want Rodgers to win one more Super Bowl. Imo the best Quarterback of the last 30 years (before Mahomes). Yes, that includes Brady.

    Dropped pass from Lazard on the first drive and now a fumble on the second drives first play.

    @Demonland test only, the software was hiding my last post. Not sure why because I did not use abbreviations.

    Rodgers is certainly box office but he had McCarthy as his coach for nearly all his career at the Packers

    McCarthy failed to complement a stellar passing game with a strong running game and a strong defense.  In particular, the Packers were weak at run defence under McCarthy

    Are there similarities at Dallas?  Does McCarthy lean on Dak too much?

    We have a good defence and a serviceable running game.

    Although Ceedee Lamb is bit of a wild card because you can use him in the running game. It will come down to how effective Ezekiel Elliott can be, he's in the last legs of his career.

    Niners flexed in that second qtr, even tho they look rusty and missing McCaffrey they started looking a class above.

    How do you guys like the new kick off rule?

    I'll have little opinion on it until week 6, see how the coaches can manipulate it, the snow and wet will make it interesting I think.

    Chargers 49ers and dare I say it Jets

    Stating the obvious but I thought we were really poor today, offense couldn't put drives togetger, struggled to establish the run game and defense was caught napping way too often. Players wide open downfield and couldn't stop the run at all but they were probably gassed because the offense gave them no reprieve.

    The drive that ended in the Hall TD was nice and Rodgers seemed to have plenty of time in the pocket which was a good sign, it was always gonna be tough beating 49ers at home but hoped with CMC out we may have given it a shake but were never in it after quarter time. The schedule opens up a bit the next few weeks, if we can't deal with a Levis led Titans you can forget about playoffs.

    Other than that was a greatly opening week of games starting last Friday with KC/Ravens, the Brazil game was good and then 6 if the 8 early games yesterday were live in the 4th quarter. The late games were pretty meh but then SNF went into OT. Love watching Redzone for the early games especially with big plays popping off all over the place.

    10 early games next week is ridiculous, I wish they'd even out the games a bit say 6-6 or 7-6 split instead of 8-4 or 10-3.

    In betting news Cincinnati knocked me (and a third of the comp) out of survivor pool and also cost me $400 in multis! I had one 12 leg multi paying $330 for a $1 bet 11 legs got up and Cinci killed me 😔 I should remember never to get on Cinci or Chargers, whichever way I go they ruin me, tip them they lose, tip against them they win. Lesson is to stay away (saying that after I tipped the Chargers this week above haha - hopefully Harbaugh brings some consistency in their performances)

    So the Rams signs C off the Eagles practice squad. Down 4 of their best 6 Oline and 5 lineman overall.

    Got cards away then the niners, this ain't going to be fun for Stafford.

    Very disappointing from the Jets. Thought they were onto something when they put together the drive which ended with the Breece Hall TD. But Rodgers struggled to get more happening after that. Give him at least 2 or 3 games and I think we'll see better.

    Struggled to stop the run and could get really any pressure on Purdy, for a pass rush like theirs it was surprising and our line isn't exactly good or even above average.

    Achilles tendinitis for CMC.

    No idea what it means for his ETA. Could be managing it all season for all we know.

    Yeah from what I've read it seems like it might be a managed all year, so less snaps and maybe sit him in games you will win.

    Rams put Nacua, Noteboom and Avilia on IR.

    Of our starting 5 lineman through pre season only one is training today...

    Singed Wetherspoon (ex Ram) to our practise squad to help cover the secondary, and rumours of more signings to come.

    Interesting the Rams at 10.

     

    I'm still not sold on Miami that when it gets to the playoffs that they can get it done.

    Same reservations I've always had on the Ravens but with Henry they should be more balanced and less reliant on Lamar.

     

    Bills at 9 is interesting, and as much as im vomiting as I type this I'd have the niners over the Lions.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
