It seemed like the commentators & the special comments guys didn't know about the rule either - they all seemed suitably bemused when the rules guy came in and said that batting the ball out in those circumstances was an illegal move.

I didn't pick up on it nor did a few people that I spoke to about it today know either - seems it's a "judgement" call but it looked quite blatant to me and the ref was right there to see it.

If the call had have been made in Detroits favour they would have been 1st and a half a yard with 1min 50 odd seconds left to play ... here it is again for those who haven't seen it.

Btw, what's with all the missed field goals? That Jags kicker couldn't hit the side of a barn

I actually thought the same, I thought if he grabbed it it was a turn over recovery but if he deliberately hit it out it was still detroits ball.

But then I thought I was thinking of rugby league.

Wow, big stuff up by the refs!

Not that I want to put the jinx on the Falcons but when I got gamepass I got the basic on where you just watch your own sides games.. Anyone know if gamepass releases a playoff package at the end of the year or I can upgrade towards the end of the season ? I think all playoff games are live on 7mate but won't be any good to me if I'm at work and want to watch the game later...

Yep, game pass do a play off package. I never got it as I got all the games on Foxtel.

I thought every score is automatically reviewed? Isn't a safety a score? Green Bay fans are having flashbacks.

Yeah I have foxtel but don't have IQ so I can't record and watch later, annoying. I'll just have to get the playoffs package IF the Falcons make it, annoying my Christmas holiday gets in the way of watching the last few regular season games as well!! haha Edited by JV7

Seattle

New England

Yep, the Colts have now won 2 games without Luck and with a 40 year old Matt Hasselbeck.

That division is theirs for the taking - it's really only a matter of the seeding number for them if they're fair dinkum.

The Colts are the anti-Melbourne. They've swallowed all our bad luck.

They dodged Ryan Leaf, tanked for Luck, can't draft any decent talent for the O line or defense but play in such a dumpster fire of a division they still make finals every year.

We are the oldest team in the comp, the Colts stole a historic team from another city. It all makes no sense.

Should've gone Bills or Cardinals, darn it. I thought the Lions turned it around last week, obviously not.

Cincy and Dalton getting it done in a big game might be the story so far, particularly with the Ravens losing again.

Can anyone else see parallels between Denver and Freo?

Are the 4 AFC divisions and the NFC North all decided?

We've got a breakaway group in the tipping comp after today's results - with JV7 leading the way (again)

Seattle winning would have got 2 precious points for me if they hadn't have blown a 24-7 lead - not happy.

As usual there's any number of stories out of this weeks games but Eli marching his team down the field for a game winning TD was a highlight - he's a big occasion player who seems to only show his absolute best when under extreme pressure.

A lot of QB's are good until a certain point and then they fall away but this bloke is a negative splitter. The NFC East is always an interesting division and with Romo out, any of the teams are a chance. It's my favourite division to watch outside of the NFC North.

Agree with you somewhat on the Freo/Denver comparisons and they do seem to have shifted towards being a defense orientated side with Peyton there to "manage" the games - it might just work too. Again, the seedings in the AFC are all important.

Dalton & the Bengals - I'm still going to wait and see with them ... the Ravens are playing poorly and are just leaking far too many points and the Steelers will need to win at San Diego to remain a threat. However, it's hard to see Cinci not winning their division anyway whilst the other 4 divisions you mentioned seem to have already been decided.

Other observations

  • Seattle can't win away from home
  • Atlanta are looking dangerous
  • The Bears aren't tanking
  • The Eagles might be back
  • KC are in allsortsa
  • Arizona look to be the real deal
  • Detroit might be tanking
  • Rodgers ruined his Lambeau record with 2 interceptions
  • New England will probably get the 1 seed
  • The Bills might get a wild-card spot

The Rams D did ok vs GB, Gurley is a star! Still no receivers and Foles throws dumb passes all too often and usually in the last third of the field.

Ps, Gurley is a star.

Average game today until the 4th quarter - that late Vick run was like the Vick of old.

Steelers are now 3 & 2 and hangin' in there.

Detroit look absolutely cooked. Megatron isn't as mega and I agree with Macca they could get the 1 pick. Seattle can't protect Wilson. It seems a lot of offensive lines this year are struggling as well as kickers the vikes tick both those boxes. Matt cassel gets a turn for the 'boys this week. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep up in a division that no one else can establish a consistent few games. Rodgers deliberately threw picks to try and prove he is human. They are the team to beat in the NFC.

That bloke can run. Once he finds a hole he is gone. Reminds me of a young AP.

I'll put my tips in soon enough but I might be tempted to pick the Falcons on Friday - or is it a trap game JV7?

Should be a good game all the same - a lot of the Thursday night games are divisional games so we at least see a fierce match-up despite the players often being a bit off the boil. I can't see why the league can't match up the byes with these games.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
