This week is seriously hard.... Pats 49ers Seattle

I think all of us here have reason to be optimistic about our teams chances in the NFC, looks like an even season.. I know sides get hot towards playoffs and go on a run is usually how it goes but reckon we'll all be there abouts come the last few weeks

I had this feeling they'd beat us... We were sorta due.We were lucky to get over Chicago & Detroit, and McDermott has the Bills defense playing well.. Our offense still put up 400 total yards but the turnover battle was lost 3-0 the Bills way, which was the difference.. My day was ruined heard the winners announced on Triple M this morning!!!!

Haven't seen any of the game so wont comment on that but I did see Trevanthan's hit, pretty poor stuff.. It was late and unnecessary on a defenseless player, a heavy fine isn't enough he should be rubbed out for at least a month. I'm not fully across the NFL system is it just financial consequences for these acts... They don't have suspension ? I've only seen players suspended for off field stuff. On Atlanta, we do seem like a team on a mission and our offense whilst it wont reach the heights of last year, it can stay a top level offense. Our defense improved in the back half of last year and has improved again so far... We did have a good run with injuries last year and have already lost Beasley for a motnh so if we can stay healthy I'm expecting us to be there abouts but who knows in this game, it's a long way back to the SB and a lot of things need to go your way

I'm away this weekend, would have been good to be able to watch TNF live for once... Think the Packers at home should get the job done but the bears have improved and their front 7 could cause problems, do the Packers have some starters back on O-line yet ? On teams I love to beat obviously in the division Saints & Panthers but outside Seattle are one team I dislike and love to beat. Oh and Brady, Belichick and those Pats (if and when we can)

Steelers Bengals Giants Can't pick the Jags coming back from London (how on earth are they away this week after that ?) Going the Steelers at Ravens for the London factor aswell

I'm not so sure... Their offense would need to improve, especially their O-line which has been a concern for over 12 months now. I can't believe their in the top few with all betting agencies to win the SB

Holy [censored].. If none of you caught the end of the Falcons/Lions game, wow. Falcons lead all day, Lions march down the field take the lead with 8 seconds left no TO's... Golden Tate TD on 3rd & goal (I storm out of the room, leave the mrs behind asking what's going on and jump in the shower, 3 minutes later she comes banging on the door THEY WON, THEY WON) almost slipped over in the bathroom... There I was standing in my towel seeing the TD was overturned haha geeeesus! The call was right to overturn the TD but it's the 10 second runoff rule that I thinks a bit stiff but that's football.. You'd think I would have learnt by now to wait until it's officially over in this sport... Anyway, big upsets around the leauge.. Seems like it may be even year only Cheifs & Falcons undefeated

It's a demonland first... A whipping boy who is yet to play a game for us let alone be on our list

Just because Adelaide want 2 first rounders doesn't mean he is worth it, I don't think many agree he is worth that. Our first & 2nd is more likely. Anyway people lose sight of draft picks, we of all supporters should know a top draft pick isn't guaranteed, the club will pay what he's worth in terms of a trade. Money wise I couldn't give a f%%k what we pay him.. But We'll agree to disagree... I'm confident he'll be a 2 time All Australian this time next year

Well their both All Australian and they both play exactly the same interceptor role...

Amen... Jeremey McGovern goes alright at it also

We very may well have a Premiership/All Australian CHB at 21 years of age who's best footy is ahead of him.. We are defintely paying overs but that's what you have to do to get a player out of a side unless your right on the cusp of a premiership like the Hawks were when they recruited well. He's disposal is better than I thought, he's pretty good by foot (shudders...bar that howler that cost us against West Coast)

Only saw the last quarter but that was some crazy finish! Gorg will have some fun with that tomorrow morning!! On the fantasy leauge, you ran one a couple years back on here if I'm correct ? I actually enjoyed it, didn't fully understand the ins & outs but I'm up for it if others are!

How long you been following the NFL for interests sake Macca ?

It's a tough gig steering clear all day, I hate it but there's no alternatives really.... Makes it even tougher not watching for a full 24 hours!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it I know a lot can change between now and monday but I get in early before I forget

Miami Raiders Steelers

Yeah true, I have a sense that the team has "embraced the suck" as was their motto in the off season and will take it in their stride this season.. Obviously won't be proven right or wrong until seasons end but only 2 sides have ever lost the SB and returned to win it the following year.... We are only the 4th side in history to lose the SB and winning the opening 2 games next season, it's a start!

Losing your two starting tackles was always going to make life tough for Rodgers wasn't it.... Having said that he gave up 14 points with unlike Rodgers plays, that interception he threw right on the half and the forced fumble (which was line ball) whether those mistakes were due to the pressure he felt with the makeshift O-Line or not.. I'm okay with how we are looking, I honestly find myself in some sort of feeling nothing, is this what it's like to following a side when winning more games then not ? Or I just may be been reserved after what happened last season...

Balic has offically requested a trade back to Melbourne (the city not club)

Arizona New England Tennessee

Just saw the last quarter of the Chargers & Broncos... Pretty good finish, Chargers coming from 17 down to within 3, their D was huge in the last quarter. Not a fan of sides been able to call a timeout in between the snap and FG attempt... The rookie Chargers kicker nailed the first only to have another go and have it blocked, seems wrong.

From a quick look around the leauge a few take aways. Rams- gee that defense was good, throw in Donald and they will be seriously good. Andy Dalton- 4 interceptions and Bengals shut out, not a good start. Kizer from the Browns looks like he could be a player at QB. Carson Palmer - was as bad as Dalton. Cohen - Bears running back was awesome against Atlanta, one to watch. TJ Watt- 2 sacks & 1 INT on debut. Wentz - looked good, that opening TD was phenomenal. Giants - from what I saw & the scoreline, looked pretty average Elliott- didn't seemed to phased by he's offield today putting up over 100 Atlanta winning with a sack on 4th & goal with 8 seconds left, my heart can't take sport anymore and I'm in my mid 20's!

The leauge has moved the Bucs/Miami game to week 11.. Huge blow for both sides, following week 11 the Bucs now have 2 road games @ Atlanta and @ Green Bay... While Miami now come off MNF to Tampa, throw their London game in and their schedule got all that harder. Will definitely make making playoffs tougher
