Ripper season so far.

We are our own worst enemy right now. We give away way too many penalties, Kaepernick is still far too inconsistent, and our special teams has slipped from recent years. To be down 21-10 having conceded only 5 first downs to Philly's offence in the first half was rather incredible. If we can clean up the penalties, keep the O-line healthy, run the ball some more, and not be inept on special teams, we can challenge for a wild card. I'm not convinced though.

AFC East is surely the weakest division in the NFL right now, right? Patriots are average at best, Bills are losing games they should be winning, Dolphins and Jets are pretty rank.

3 teams had or have QB controversies and the other team has Tom Brady and still can't score! Yet you get the feeling all 4 teams can play defense, If any of them get consistent at all they can win games. Kyle Orton will be interesting to watch. Bills have most things besides a QB. Miami have a lot of things going for them but at the same time they are Miami!

I think AFC South probably just pip them for worst division simply because of how bad Jacksonville and Tenn are. Indy and Houston will fight out the division but I don't think Indy are even that good and Houston can't feasibly be any good at all with the Amish Rifle at QB! Even if their defense is good.

Both the West divisions (NFC and AFC) probably have 3 teams better than any team from the AFC South or AFC East. Oakland would probably be horrendous in any division poor team. But I really feel for St Louis. They'd be a contender in several other divisions. Yet they are stuck with 3 fantastic teams and they aren't even in the West of the country anymore!

I use to play a long long time ago, I played outside Linebacker (12.5 sacks in one season. :) )

Also played a bit of fullback.

Nice. Did you see KC line up a 350lb lineman at fullback at run him at Vince Wilfork, that was a clash of some big bodies!

The bengals at New England is a game I'm looking forward to. Bengals should be rested up and ready to go. If The pats go down it will be huge news even though at 2-3 I still think they control their division.

On all available form with one team having a short week and another team the bye it should pretty much be a non contest. I'd back the Pats defense to bounce back, they've had 2 good performances and 2 bad ones. But Cinn should be able to do a lot of things that KC did offensively in terms of running the ball, screens etc that really hurt NE. Revis is a great corner but if a team is cutting you apart with short passes and runs it doesn't matter much.

Bit cruel for Brady to have a horrible offensive performance, with stuff all O line and no weapons firing and then come up against what I rate as the best defense in the league. If they are even half as bad as they were the other day Brady will be running for his life or throwing the ball straight to them or in to the crowd. If it went the way of the KC game you'd be tempted to give Brady a mystery injury at half time and put the young guy in just to save Brady from getting smashed. Every team with an abysmal O line should carry a Tebow like player for when nothing is working and your QB's getting smashed. Put it a mobile college quarterback who can take some hits and run some read option and other trick plays and try to get some yards that way.

I dunno, NFC south is pretty crap atm.. The fact the saints are still favorites to take it out at 1-3 says it all..

Panthers started well and have dropped off, falcons who knows what they'll dish up week in week out and the saints have never really got going.. I reckon 9-7 could win that divison

I've also lost faith in the falcons season.. Jo hawley & Holmes done for the year and willi Moore out for 8 weeks

Has anyone played or thought of playing? Who's going to nominate themselves for demonland QB?

I started this thread years ago, so I'd like to nominate myself... Change my name to Franchise Dappa.

But in reality, probably more appropriate for O.C.

Teddy out Ponder in. Please have mercy Green Bay.


Bite down hard Minnesota, Rodgers is going in dry!

Not going well.

The bears played Rodgers right back to form!

Still you'd hope the Vikes could stay in it defensively a little longer. Lets wait and see I guess.

Surely the Danchise?

Ok lets all make jokes about how fat the women are in GB to make us feel better.

Not going well.

Starting to hold up on defense but can't get anything going on offense. We need some yards from our running game but packers have played the run pretty well.

You got that right.

Rather habit forming in all reality!

Packers swamped the Vikings... Ponder was given no protection, christ he got hammered!

Not sure if daylight savings is good or bad. Overall I'm saying bad. Games dragging too long in the afternoon.

Seattle, Cinn and.......Cleveland!

Just felt like tipping Cleveland.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
