    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
