I reckon they played a good professional game the Falcons. Eagles D were the difference I reckon... if not for Ajayi and the special teams coughing it up, it might have been a shutout. Still a great game to watch even with the weather. And yeah. I reckon you have every right to be philosophical. It's not like they embarrassed themselves.

And kicking. I can't believe he didn't come down with that ball. He was three feet above Mills. Do it again 10 times he gets it 10 times. Amazing game. Happy satisfied Eagle here. Felt like I just had a meal.

Alrighty... Nestled in at second place. Very much where I've been all year. Winners left of page, Macca. Falcons 17 Eagles 10 Patriots 33 Titans 7 Steelers 23 Jaguars 13 Vikings 23 Saints 20

Haven't signed on this week til now. Man... Rams will go away very bullish about the next few years. They have some fun ahead for their fans. I have to say though, I reckon they underachieved this year. I've been on them since about week 3 or 4... Easily the most fun team to watch outside of your own team, league wide. I had them at worst playing week 2 of playoffs. Just felt like they needed a tip of the hat on a super season. Had I only just discovered how good NFL was, I'd have settled on Rams as my team based on the last 6 months. They're very much a team you can get behind, as you feel like you're getting in on the ground floor. Similar to Eagles and Texans with Wentz and Watson being so young. Pumped to watch them next year.

Philly sports radio has been on and on about using Ajayi for weeks. Nothing seems to make Dougie want to use him any more than he already has. He did have one week he went off on them back when he was a Dolphin, but I dunno... I'm sceptical about him this season. Philly has sneakily ended up one of the top rushing teams this year partly because they have 3 pretty good RBs. Look out for Clement and Blount... they're pretty good footballers. And no. The Foles talk isn't over the top. He's awful. He absolutely is a slouch. Interesting though... as the week wears on you're less confident? As the week wears on, I'm more confident. But in the end, I think it's just that my team made the top 8 this year in a 32 team comp. Rough equivalent of top 4 in the AFL, and that's something to enjoy and buy into regardless of how the teams are in terms of form. Can they win? Sure... If Foles doesn't screw up, If the D stops Freeman etc... and mostly if the weather stops Matty Irony... (Ice) In your heart of hearts though, you know one of two things will happen. Either it's a 17-10 game and Ryan gets that match winning TD with 7 minutes remaining. Or it's a shootout, and you win cos you have way more weapons. They're bookies favourite for a reason. Also... answer me this... who covers 11.

Don't they ever... Philly fans smiling a little smile... I saw Freeman early in the game take off to the sideline, pushed out, and a couple of metres over the line is a slab of concrete that he slipped A over T on. It boggles the mind.

By the same token players do get used more in certain game scripts. How many times were Rams miles ahead, blowing teams out, and then they lean on the run to make longer drives? But yeah... I wouldn't complain if Gurley got the nod. Be a nice break from all the QBs, certainly. Good game. NFC East... Giants: OBJ and Collins I'd say. Eli probably third. Redskins: Cousins, and maybe Norman? Cowboys: Obviously Dak and Zeke. Lee a very close third. Bryant has dropped off for now... their O line should feel hard done by too. Eagles: Wentz and Cox. Interesting that your QB ISN'T one of your two. That's a pretty good position to be in.

How good's Barnwell.

Also there's the same factor that made me say Zeke should have won rookie of the year last year. What more can a rookie RB do to win... I know QBs have it harder etc... But still. If he couldn't win it with that, you can NEVER win it. Bit like Gurley this year. His numbers are just crazy, and almost never had an off day. What more can an RB do? Speaking of rookie of the year... who do we have? Has to be Hunt I guess?

And probably what will happen next year. And yeah, good point.

I had Brady a touch ahead of Wentz when he got hurt. But I reckon you're right now. Gurley to surprise.

So who does everyone think should get MVP? Brady as usual? Gurley a late charge? Wentz a sentimental vote?

The panthers most likely to snatch an unlikely one. Almost went for them.

Yeah the meme is everywhere. Cross breeding in all the sports is rife. Every time you see a funny Tweet in the NFL it's a matter of hours til the equivalent AFL ripoff is seen. Still pretty funny though.

How many times have people said that about the poor old Browns.

It's right up there with their crowning achievements I reckon. Their innovation is world best. Meanwhile Soccer is stuck, Baseball is a joke... AFL is improving, but still along way to go.

Sweet. I imagine the two point thing would be great if it keeps everyone picking. So why not?

New post for the hats-off to Macca. Great fun as always. Look forward to the post season tipping comp. I assume it's just pick every game, most correct picks wins?

I'm gonna sayyyy.... no. Don't want to imagine being a team that missed the playoffs while being expected to make it. Don't need to imagine, really. Bills... so great when the outsider gets in. Well done Falcons. Personally I can't see Eagles winning in two weeks, so whoever they play will be hungry. Well done Clint on making the hall of fame. Much deserved. An absolute rout.

Mother of god.... Rams...

I'm a little bit worried about Dallas now.

Rams Seahawks massive implications all over the place. Rams off to a good start.
