Just watched the latest 30 for 30 doco .... 'This Was the XFL' and it was very good.  The league ultimately only lasted 1 year but a number of the innovations used in that 1 season are being used by the NFL today. 

Overall the show highlighted an intriguing snap-shot of how the Americans go about things ... the doco is being repeated on ESPN on Sunday night (8.30pm) and is well worth a look.

Here's the trailer ...

 

Falcons 34 - Patriots 31

Matt Ryan MVP (Freeman a smokey)

 

 

 

 

My heart says Atlanta but my head says the Patriots ... (plus, I want to win the post-season tipping comp)

New England 28  Atlanta 25

The Pats will need to be beaten which sounds obvious but they won't ordinarily make enough errors to lose.  In other words, the Falcons are going to have to play lights out in order to win.

But for your sake JV, I hope I'm wrong.

Good luck on Monday!

 

Post Season Tipping Comp Leaderboard

9 - JV7

7 - Gorgoroth,  Macca

6 - Clintosaurus

5 - DeeSpencer


Im with you Macca, gotta win the Comp. Pats 34 - Falcons 33 in overtime.

 

heart says Falcons 33, pats 24

Falcons 27 Pats 23. Vic Beasley for MVP. 

Have been calm for 2 weeks but the nerves are starting to kick in... Hopefully get to sleep tonight. God knows what I'll be like if the Dees ever make the big one

 

Would Brady even be nervous right now? 


Yep that sideline catch by Julio was pretty good. Atlanta looking really good.

Falcons go out to a 14 - 0 lead and playing very well in all facets.

Couple of holding penalties but Atlanta are settled and switched on


This is gonna be hard for the Pats to come back. Atlanta can just play the effective run game and hold onto the ball. 

That's a bad error by Brady but a terrific interception by Alford all the same ... now 21 - 0

Falcons all over them

Can not believe this... Brady pick 6 for a 21-0 lead... This defense is on fire! Still nervous though


Holding the Pats to a field goal there was immense ... 21-3 is so much better than 21-7

As cfh said,  look to see Atlanta's running game in operation in the 2nd half

 

 
Just now, Gorgoroth said:

Edelman has dropped so many tonight, it's strange he usually is so good.

He should have watched been watching Lady Gaga at half time ... nice catch at the end of her performance

This is turning into a rout ... still nervous JV?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
