    Cowboys hit back but this game looks like it's going down to the wire

    Wow, first turnover of the game and it’s huge. Fair effort by Wright.

    Officials getting Dallas home.

    Home field will nearly always give that team with home field an advantage with decisions from the officials.  Solution - gain home field because not much is ever going to change. 

    Seattle have had more than their fair share of luck when they play at home so it's swings & roundabouts.

    So Dallas get a few calls their way but that is no surprise ... what would have been a surprise would be if Seattle got a few dubious calls their way.  Even 'Vegas' recognises home town decisions with the lines that they set.

    The drop-kick became extinct years ago in Oz ... the Yanks are just catching on by the looks of it.  ?

    Cowboys now at New Orleans next week unless the Eagles can win at the Bears.  That run by Prescott was the difference in the end - a brilliant run in crunch time.

    What was that? A little bit too much on it is an understatement.

    I reckon he was trying to drop-kick it straight up in the air ... back in my day that straight-up drop-kick would only happen by accident.  The opposite was the knackers-cruncher ... perfected by former Demon Big Carl!

    Andrew Luck might be a top-notch QB but he has taken QB-Speak to a whole new level.  It's like he is on auto-pilot once he starts talking ?

    I can see him morphing into Belichick-Speak down the track (Bill has his very own category)

    Ha ha, not watched any post game interviews, sounds like an interesting one ?

    He is verging on becoming a great player but you may as well switch off his press conferences.  It is more amusing than annoying from my point of view Gorg. 

    Plug in and play = Andrew Luck (when he is healthy)

    By the way @Gorgoroth  who would you rather play next week?

    Dallas or Chicago?  (it can't be the Eagles - not next week anyway)

    Hard one, Bears have great D but this time it’s at home, their offence doesn’t worry me as much but Trubisky can have a day out.

    Dallas is more rounded, good D, Elliot, Gallup and Cooper are all threats, Prescott as a runner can also hurt but for some reason I think we would match better with them as we have a better chance of a shoot out.

    So prob Dallas but we can easily beat or lose to either.

    Ravens left it too late and would have pinched it if they had have got up and won.  They had virtually no offense for in the first half.  There was talk of bringing in Flacco in the 2nd half but that never eventuated.

    Chargers were good though ... especially their run defense on 1st & 2nd downs.  At New England next - that will be a step up.

    Poor choice by Foles resulting in that interception ... should have thrown it away.  Still,  there isn't much in this game with both D's on top. 

    Edit:  And just like that the Bears give away 3 penalties in a row then Foles throws a TD pass. 

    Edit (II): Chicago hit back with a TD of their own ... Trubisky with a couple of excellent throws.  Bears 15 Eagles 10 with 8:46 to go in the 4th quarter.  Eagles with the ball.

    Foles marches the Eagles downfield to score a TD with a Golden Tate catch and then miss a 2 point conversion by centimetres to take the lead 17 - 16 with a minute left - what a finish!

  • Quote

    And Parkey misses the 3 pointer - hits the upright!  A timely time-out by Pederson to ice the kicker.

    That's a heartbreaker for the Bears.

    3 road winners out of the 4 and very nearly a 4th road winner with Seattle.  And those Eagles just keep getting it done with Nick Foles at the helm.  Amazing

    Trubisky had a terrific game for the Bears too.  The field goal attempt by Parkey hit the upright & the crossbar.  A game of inches indeed.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
