Wow. Lazarus.

Oh no, Rodgers...

Ummm.... Do we have a tie rule? lol

Bloody hell how about the Bucs.

The "Weed" call is already one of those things people are going to look forward to doing when they go to games. Shades of Ang Christou's "Woof" when he kicked it, and Yze's "Ooooze"....

Every game there will have more to watch than today's.

That's why I was happier post game. Pinched one I thought we could easily lose, especially with 5 goal line plays defended. I'm relieved that Eagles have Bucs, Colts and Titans... the first two stink, and Titans aren't much better. Feels to me like a rusty squad needing to get things sorted. Also Wentz will be back after those 4.

I can't wait to watch the remaining week 1 games. Some teams I wanna get around like Rams, Pack etc... Never mind today's schlockfest.

Yup,. Came away from it at first relieved for the win, and impressed by the D.... but on reflection (especially after an unforgettable final tonight) it really was a bad team beating up on a worse team. Lots of work to do.

Going to be referred to over and over now. He's starred in a game that was ferocious, was either best on or in the bests depending on your point of view, against the best D in the game... in a final. That's it. You can't question his pedigree anymore.

My boy. Eagles have 2 Aussies on their list now.... His punting will get him special teams player of the week potentially.

Hardly a classic, but I'll take it. Soft 3 weeks now then the scary stuff starts.

+ another 58er.

Suh, Donald, Peters, Talib.... And Mack? I mean... WTH....

Jesus @Gorgoroth. I thought you were joking about Mack. Apparently Rams offered 2 firsts as well...

AFC: East: Patriots North: Steelers South: Texans West: Chargers Wild Cards: Chiefs and Jaguars NFC: East: Giants North: Vikings South: Saints West: Rams Wild Cards: Seahawks and Packers Man, AFC was way easier than NFC. Steelers and Pats to go all the way to championship game. Found it tough to pick Texans and Chargers to win their divisions, but Chiefs and Jags will only just get pipped and will play Wild Card games. NFC is amazing this year. How one earth did I not pick Falcons, Panthers and Eagles? Have to pick Vikings (Best D in the NFC IMO), Saints were great last year and deserved to go further. Rams are the breakout superstars of the comp... EVERYONE is picking Eagles, but at least early on they are lacking pretty much everywhere on offense. The season will get away from them early and they'll be playing catch up all year. Giants will be the shock winner of a meh NFC East. Wilson and Rodgers will see their teams through messy rosters. Eagles couldn't beat Seahawks last year. Wilson will win league MVP.

Tips coming in thick and fast. Seems like more than usual?

Gee Macca you're gonna have a fair bit of work cut out for you by the looks of it.

Steelers, Rams and Jaguars for me thanks @Macca Game on!

Yeah I have him as top 3. And yeah, I reckon if you're gonna make a big move like that to fill out your team with talent, it's at the START of a big 5 year coaching stint. For all of the discomfort this decision has caused, oppo fans aren't all that down on it. I feel like it can work either way. And yeah, Raiders can certainly compete for playoffs.... but maybe they're just a touch thin overall. Carr's a good player, but is he MVP? Cooper's had a bad year. You gotta ask yourself do they have all the pieces in place, and if not, you go out and get them. I feel like the NFC is looming large. You look at some of the stacked rosters... Rodgers, Brees, Eagles, Vikings... And then you look at AFC on their side and I reckon your own list looks like it sits somewhere in the 10-16 spot, at best, in the power rankings. With that in mind, this sort of feels like a good move.

Part of a bigger plan obviously. The immediate future of that team has to have people worried. I'm all for incoming coaches doing a cleanout generally... Gruden would want to hit on the picks he got though.

Sure is. 6 years for Mack. Gee that's a big, big trade. Makes me a little nervous that Big Cox will have to go one day from the Eagles. These big-time D lineman (along with big time OL units) define success across the league. Look at the Eagles. Not much in receiver. Not great corners. Just have all the good stuff in the trenches making mediocre backup QBs Superbowl MVPs.

All of which he's done all year, with the exception of only a couple of games. Like I say, you read the game how you want. Frost has been pleasing since he came into the side, but I don't have him anywhere near OMac in the role OMac has to fill in the side. He's also only been back in the side for 8 games and was overlooked for a rookie before that. OMac was starting 22 even before he got good. The Committee had him in pen on the team sheet even when he was playing badly, which he isn't anymore. Frost is well behind OMac. I'm absolutely certain. But like I say, people can read it however they want. I'm pleased for the kid and always had a soft spot for him. But with a fully fit list he's on the bubble, OMac is not.

I disagree. To each their own. I need my KP defenders in before rebounding defenders. Like I said, happy to put him straight in there as amongst my first 3 picked. And no, he's nowhere near losing his job even with your suggested setup.

And play where. lol There's only so much room for humans that size on one side of the field.
