Go the Biff

Same old story with Port. When the whips are cracking, too much is left to too few. Boak, Wines & Robbie Gray. And Gray's body is failing him. The likes of Rozee, Duursma & Butters are often lauded but until they become genuine contested midfielders, they'll remain icing on a crumbly cake. My footy tips also hate Freo

Mitch Brown highlights v Sandy Zebs

Never thought the day would come where I was defending Mitch Robinson but I feel for the poor bloke. He could have gone full Michael Long / Troy Simmonds and caused some serious damage but instead he stopped and braced for oncoming contact. To my eye he displayed & exercised his duty of care. His only other option, given the speed of the incident, was to "flop". Had he done so, yes, contact would have been avoided but he'd have been mocked for the rest of his career and there'd be a conga line of former players / commentators going "soft" and "that's not good enough". The game remains a 360 degree contact sport. At speed. Despite all best efforts from players & administrators, accidents will still happen. Not every incident needs a scapegoat.

Salem undergoes minor procedure

I was pleasantly surprised that they led with video highlights of his skills. Balls was a superb kick off both sides, an excellent overhead mark, had great hands and was solid one on one when playing in defence. Was also pleased they didn't drag out the Wallace incident. Although Rodney left them more than enough material to not have to go there. His 'retirement" was weird. What a way to find out !

Then he should have articulated those issues rather than tee off on a single selection issue which Morris reported correctly. Instead he's made himself look like a goose. A rather unstable goose at that. There can be no doubt that the spray at Morris was pre planned but he stuffed it up and it reflects poorly on his club FWIW I've always liked Bevo since he used to sport the #24 for our great club. And I can't stand Morris, simpering twit that he is. Nothing about him seems appealing and I wish he barracked for someone else. But tonight it's Morris 1, Bevo minus about 100

Yep. We're on to Cincinnatti

The US national anthem must be the most slaughtered song in history

Nearly forgot. Good luck @Gorgoroth. Somewhere in my wardrobe is an old LA Rams guernsey. No. 29 which I believe was Eric Dickerson at the time. Real old ! So, in honour of my old guernsey I'm tipping Rams 31 over Bengals 21

Bengals 21 @ Chiefs 31 49ers 24 @ Rams 21

Bengals 21 @ Titans 28 49ers 27 @ Packers 24 Rams 24 @ Bucs 31 Bills 24 @ Chiefs 31

Here are my darts at the board Raiders 13 @ Bengals 24 Pats 27 @ Bills 24 Eagles 17 @ Tampa 35 49ers 27 @ Dallas 24 Steelers 17 @ KC 31 Arizona 27 @ LA Rams 31

Cheers Macca. I like the Might & Power reference a helluva lot better than the one I came up with. Thought I'd Bradbury'd this. Did anyone score a point in the last month ? Thanks again for running the comp. It's a great way to keep a broader interest in the NFL aside from the teams I have an interest in.

5 - Zanker 4 - L. Pearce 3 - Hanks 2 - Lampard 1 - Sherriff

Colts, Chiefs, Titans

Chiefs, Bucs, Rams

Getting in before I forget over Christmas 49ers, Bucs, Chargers

Arizona, Dallas, Green Bay

Saints, Seahawks, San Fran

Our version of North's Gary "Crazy Horse" Cowton. Both quick, talented & powerful. Both made you wonder what the hell is gonna happen when they got the football in hand

Bucs, Cards, Colts

Bears, Eagles, Chargers

"Pats, Niners or Ravens" Can't trust anyone this season @Macca. So why not pick all three ? Deal me in. After SanFran's win I feel like I'm gambling house money anyway. That was fun to watch

Late to the party Bills, Bucs, Rams. Barring a last minute transfer back to Candlestick Park
