    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.

    • 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?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
