just watched the cowboys highlights. 

Conceding 44 points is a whooping. Dallas D carved up. Saints ran the ball at will and Carr had all day in the pocket. Zimmer with lots of work to do.

Just watched the PI on Cinci in the last minute.  Different rules in American football but there didn't seem to be a lot in it

I've seen a lot worse not paid (and vice-versa)

Have a strange feeling my Falcons will keep the trend going in Philly tomorrow…

If Kirk Cousins can find his best form you're at least a chance of competing well

The Eagles are a good team though.  Error free and you can match them (easier said than done)

I knew I should've put the Saints. I was almost going to, that is the level of confidence I have in these Cowboys 🤣

It seems like Alvin Kamara has been around for well over a decade but he's only in his 8th year.  Certainly had a day out with 4 TD's and big yards

So Nacua looks like a 5-7 injury now, Kupp, John Johnso and Jonah Jackson all got injured and looks to be missing "an Extended time" I think thats coach speak for 4+ weeks

So lose our best WR, another G and our most experienced Safety after being slaughtered... 

 

EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Don’t even get me started with the crud that was served up yesterday. The only thing worse than rocking up on Monday after losing to the Weagles in Perth this year is rocking up after losing to SAM FREAKING DARNOLD! No-one at work follows NFL so no-one has actually said anything but you can imagine what it would be like if they did. 

Kyle, Kyle. You’re a decent coach, apparently an offensive mastermind, but take away the play action and you’re not left with many ideas. No CMC is absolutely killing us, Mason has been great running between the tackles but Minnesota stacked the box repeatedly and snuffed this out. No McCaffrey means no outside runs, minimal play action, no sneaky routes into the flat and as a result, no receivers getting open. 

Even without CMC, Kyle has two of the highest paid receivers, a great TE, a half decent power RB, a future hall of fame LT and we still can’t beat the Vikes with Sam Darnold? A very good coach but has been and continues to be overrated in my eyes.

And on that I'm glad we paid Aiuik 30m to run around unsighted. Perfect example of someone who cannot get open without McCaffrey in the team, very little shake and bake when it comes to man coverage.

So rumour of Deebo being out this week too, but thats ok you are playing the Rams who are worse than you 😄

 

Add to this list Higbee who is out most of the year, so essentially 7 of our best 11 on offence are out. 😢

Yeah he'll be out for a couple. Another who the offense struggles without when he motions.

Honestly think this game could be a coin flip Gorg.

One more thing I'd like to add.

Thank you gentlemen for helping me get my head out of footy. I feel exhausted with all the drama from the last 4 weeks. 

Feels nice not to feel the urge of scrolling down all the current threads.

How 'bout them Cowboys!

Could be, but your D is very good, ours is poor, but in saying that its in LA and Verse has looked very good in his first two games. Just young and without AD99 we look shaky across the board😄

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J
