[censored] Jags, I just lost my bet cos they let the last TD in. 

 

 

 

Bahaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jags, wow. Anytime to go into Pittsburgh & win is big but to do it in a playoff game.. Hats off to them. Congrats Clint. I actually think the Jags defense could give the Pats & Brady some trouble. 

Just shows as others have posted above, all our teams(I think) in this forum have had some recent success as in making the playoffs in the last 2 seasons alone... Would be hard to say the same about the AFL with a group of different supporter bases. 

 

Bikes were great 8n the first half, starting the second half well. Want to see them attack and not try and slow the game or hold it up. Only 17 pts.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnndddddd just like that, 21-20 to th3 saints with 3:01left.

Feels to me like Vikings will get a FG... And it'll be Brees with about 30 seconds or something...

Lots of Eagles fans want Vikings to win.

Nope. He misses the tackle and takes out his own player behind. Doubt he would have caught Diggs but...

 

wow

Oh my god... Just when you think you've seen it all in this sport :blink:

I thought we could win but did not think it would take 45 points. Saw about half the game so will be watching both replays tonight.

Had he just slowed up and put his arms out he'd have at least stopped him where he caught it. I sort of get why he tried to barrel him... to cause a drop and incomplete pass instead of what looked like a gettable field goal... But man it looked bad. he didn't touch him at all.

He could have just wrapped him up in a tackle & it would have been over.. They wouldn't of had time to get to the line & clock the ball for a FG attempt. All he litreally had to do was hold him up where he was & the Saints win the ball game

Bortles, Foles, Keenum... Brady

Man I hope the Jags win so it’s two of the first 3 in the Superbowl.

It's pick the Pats to win and hope you get it wrong.  That's how I'm viewing it. 

I give the Jags a puncher's chance ... maybe more of a chance than I would have given the Steelers.  New England are -9.5 point favourites.

As for the NFC Championship game - that's a toss of the coin even though the Vikings are -3.5 point favourites.

I reckon Diggs would have managed to dive over the line, seeing as he did land on his feet. But yes. Either way... It's the right move. What I mean was I think he was going glorytown. Hit him hard down the middle and shake him up... making the ball drop incomplete. It wasn't the right move, but I can sort of see how the blood would have rushed to his head. What's stunning is that these are some of the most high pressure athletes in the world today. That poor kid will be replaying that the rest of his life.


Leaderboard in the Comp (post-season)

5 - Macca

4 - Go the Biff,  Dappa Dan

3 - JV7,  Clintosaurus,  Gorgoroth

Remembering that it's 2 points for each winner in the Championship games with 3 points up for grabs for the Super Bowl winner.

I'm actually in line for the 3-peat in the post-season tipping comp ... not bad for the world's worst tipster.

The saving grace is that it didn't happen in a Super Bowl. 

The Seahawks not handing the ball off to beast-mode in the dying seconds of that Super Bowl will haunt that organisation and their fans forever. 

And I still maintain a 60/40 stance on last year's SB - the comeback by the Pats was greater than Atlanta blowing that lead.  Many will disagree of course but I don't believe any other team could have come back from a 28 - 3 deficit in a SB.

  • 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?
