Aaaand some sanity in the NFL again.

Broncos and Patriots against current good opposition manage to roll them handsomely. Saints win, albeit luckily. Chargers humiliate Jets... San Francisco beat Chiefs... All is well in football again.

Just looking now at the best records in the NFL. Only Philly, Dallas and Chargers are on 4-1.... And I gotta say the Eagles, while ahead on divisional record in the NFC East, might be the third best side in their own division. What a hopelessly mediocre game. Right now it's only luck and special teams keeping their heads above water... And their schedule:

Giants @Cards @Texans Panthers... Yikes. Could easily lose all four on current form.

Meanwhile Cowboys have:

@Seahawks then all home games....Giants Skins Cards

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

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

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

Can someone please tell me why I didn't choose a decent NFL team.. I was sucked in by the falcons fluke 2012 season. I started following NFL to escape the frustration and anger that comes with following melbourne.. Is it too late to find a new team ?

Wow the jets are in a deep hole. Just no offense at all. The bills baby! I enjoy seeing them win. Seriously who could dislike Buffalo? Detroit couldn't kick a FG all day. With Chicago and the vikes losing as well Green Bay must be smiling. I still think San Fran won't make the playoffs. Just a hunch though. Bloody Dallas find a way to win. It's hard to admit but they are a little under rated. I hope Philly can put them back where they belong. Is Peyton the best regular season QB of all time?

The good thing about the NFL is it can turn around very quickly. You have talent in Atlanta. You also have injuries. Keep the faith and always remember you could be following the jets and demons. That is a deadly cocktail of sport right there.

Still no points to allocate in the tipping comp (otherwise known as ... "Intolerable Cruelty" - the sequel) Cinci put most of us out.

No change in the points tally ...

1 - Dappa Dan

0 - Anyone who can still be bothered.

Week 6 games - can someone please tip 3 winners? Otherwise we might have to make it the home teams for a week!! It does look a little easier next week, all the same.

No real surprises in today's games and Dappa summed up things quite well in the above post ... as for tomorrow's game, I give Washington a sneaky chance but Seattle should be too strong ... Seahawks 31 Washington 24.

After watching quite an average Rams v Eagles game I'm hoping today's is better.

Eagles special teams and defence were decent, their offence average with Foley throwing some stupid passes (half which came off).

For us, I think they tried to up the offence early and Davis didn't do great, but in the last quarter and s bit where we went to a more simplified game plan we stack on 21 unopposed points. In he last 2 mins Pettis dropped to catches that were first downs and we lose by 6. Didn't deserve to win, but could have stolen it.

We miss Long.

Oh joy, the niners on MNF.

I hate sport.

Why do I continually follow clubs that disappoint me on a weekly basis.

Melbourne...fukked, season over round one

Rams... Fukked, season over round four

Bolton... Fukked, season over from round one, manager already sacked, we then lose to a ten man team who had a player sent of 30 mins into the game FFS.

Anyone not tipping:

Denver

San Diego (always classy)

Can't settle on a third tip. Can't go against my Browns (AFC team, getting on the bandwagon early) after they came through for me last week, can't tip NE, Baltimore or SF and I don't want to ruin Thursday night football!

Green Bay (if I jinx them it's still a win!)

Davis was all over Foles in that game. Eagles very lucky to be where they are at the moment. The hype is correct in this case. I think if they're gonna get back to steady the ship it basically HAS to be the Pass rushers, Cole, Graham and Curry picking up. I can't see improvement anywhere else.

Which makes the rest of the NFC East breathe a big sigh of relief. There's no way they're gonna keep running in 2 TDs a week cos of special teams play.

JJ watt has more TD's then megatron.

If he continues his current form I hope he wins MVP. We've seen what Peyton does. Russ Wilson is having a solid year and plays well in big moments but he hasn't been exceptional. Rivers has but he's a gifted experienced pocket passer doing his thing. It's nothing knew. And of course we've seen players like Watt before but it's time for him to win the MVP, especially considering how bad Houston are when he's not involved.

Who picks the 7mate games. NE at Buffalo, good call, should be somewhat close if Buffalo can bring their defense and all that was wrong with the Pats offense isn't fixed in a week, plus it's a divisional contest.

But Washington at Arizona is the worst of the 3 games I think. Chicago at Atlanta would be interesting to see who keeps their season alive and Dallas v Seattle is clearly the pick of the 3 later games.

GMMM... Good point, however, they USUALLY put on Denver. And as much as they're like the Hawks of the NFL.... a good advertisement for the game... I'm dead set bored of them.

    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.
