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. 

  • Quote

    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. 

    Eagles 29  Pats 19

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
