Pats conceded a penalty yet? Unlikely they will.

    Eagles held them out well after giving up another 5 yard penalty (12 men on the field) 3 points to the Pats

    Eagles 3 Pats 3

    Great run by Blount followed by a great throw by Foles and a great catch by Jeffrey ... everything is great except the point after!

    Eagles 9  Pats 3

    Another good hold-out by the Eagles and then the Pats muck up a chip-shot.  A poor & costly error by New England.

    Brady drops a sitter - can throw, can't catch

    Should have been pass interference to Gronk ... a poor non call.

    Great double-play by the Eagles - first the Foles throw to Jeffrey and then Blount runs it in really well from 20+

    Eagles go for 2 and don't get it

    Eagles 15  Pats 3.

    It is the Pats so the officials don't see it.

    Philly in again. TV on at work but trying not to watch. Wait for the flags to fly now the Pats are 2 scores down.

    You got it the wrong way round Clint ... Gronk was interfered with (obviously)

    Commentators are clueless

    Just calling it as I see it - unbiased as always

    I read it as OPI against Gronk. He does push off a lot that's not called, but he does have them hanging off like bananas regularly.

    And there it is ... the fluke turnover after the Eagles looked set to score again. 

    Amazing luck the Pats get.  Lucky it's deep in the Pats backfield but they usually score from turnovers

    Ha ha!  We see it differently - that's ok.

    And they duly do score from a turnover ... incredible. 

    Eagles could have increased their lead from 15 - 6 but instead of that the score is now Eagles 15  Pats 12

    Fantastic run by Clement ... Eagles need to get a TD here.

    Eagles going for it?

    Foles catches the ball in the end zone after a trick play - great play and great call. 

    Eagles 22  Pats 12

    Foles - can throw,  can catch

    I don't know what to say. The balls on this guy. Calling that play on 4th down. Doug "not coach of the year" Petersen.

    Did it easy too ... it was like a walk in the park.  Eagles should be a further in front and with the current scoreline it's anyone's game. 

    By and large the game has been officiated well too so neither team has been disadvantaged.  In fact,  as a neutral it's been a very entertaining game.

    Both teams playing contained footy. Running the ball a lot. The shootout I saw coming has eventuated more or less. Can't really complain too much. One Pats TD came from a penalty and a freaky pick.

    Yeah there's been a lot of offense ... now it's down to the Eagles D. 

    If you hold them down to 22 - 26 points you should win.  And if the Eagles can score 2 TD'S then it's hard to see the Pats scoring 4 TD's to win.

    Pats you mean. Yeah.

    Falcons though. That's all anyone's thinking.

    Well,  I'm not thinking of the Atlanta game. 

    In practical terms we have to expect the Pats to score at least 2 TD's ... because that's what they do.  As a matter of course.

    So the Eagles have to score at least 1 TD .... 2 TD's should do it though.  And if the Eagles D can hold the Pats out it's game over anyway.

    The Yanks always know how to put on a show.

    Justin Timberlake is supreme as always.

    That didn't take long ... Brady to Gronk a few times and then the resultant TD.  We've seen that before.

    As an Eagles fan you take that but we've seen that play called back all season.  It looks the officials are letting the players decide things.

    And that's not a bad thing.  Often happens in SB's - Ravens/49ers SB a case in point.

    some useless info for you guys as you watch the match...

    From the Guardian live report:

    It might surprise you to learn that going to the Superbowl is incredibly expensive. Tickets aside, once at the stadium a bottle of water costs $6 and a slice of pizza with a soda is $21. ESPN sent their writers into the bowels of the US Bank Stadium to check out the prices. Here are their findings results.

    Personal favorite: the Justin Timberlake inspired J-Tea cocktail. $35.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
