@Macca that catch was amazing, but for me the turning point was cook catch and fumble. He does it way too often, even when he was with the Rams. Gave all the momentum to the Buccs and all turnovers were within 25yrds. The saints threw points at them.

The other to a lesser degree was the penalty when they returned the kick from Harris and the loss of Harris for the game, he was great the week before and the saints had all the early momentum.

    RG3 being thrown around as a possible back up QB to put pressure on Goff.

    Not sure he would, not like he has played for years. Reckon Wolford would offer more pressure.

    Is it just me or if you were a Bills player would you not give up the personal foul and smash your helmet straight into Mahomes helmet to see how the head is if he plays?

    Good luck @Macca! I’m cheering Rodgers and the boys on!

    Apprehensively confident* we'll get over the line Gorg but I'm always aware that in this sport 2 errors can lead to 14 points

    That's the beauty of the NFL ... no game is parcelled up until it's done.  Steelers found that out the hard way with their errors against the Browns

    So if GB have zero turnovers and Rodgers is at his best we should be good enough to win.  But Tampa could have a day where everything goes right for them on offence ... if that happens they probably win

    But for the neutrals the QB match-up is something to look forward to.  40% chance of snow with a crowd of 6500 allowed into Lambeau

     

    *Is there such a thing as apprehensively confident?  haha

    There is mate, I live there. Dees can be up by 60 and I’m still nervous ?

    If Rodgers is kept clean you win easily. If not then it’s tighter. Saints turned it over 4 times, 3 within 20yrds, that’s what killed them.

    7 from 10 now which is a poor ratio on defence.  Brady should have been intercepted (the corner didn't commit) on that last TD drive before half time after that Rodgers throw was intercepted.  2 errors within minutes

    2nd fumble by Jones costly as well.  They have targeted him because of his lack of size ... the ball pops out accordingly.  Points conceded as a consequence. 

    Brady knows how to take advantage like no other. 

    28 - 17 now but we need to curtail Brady (somehow)

    28 - 23 now but Brady & Tampa will probably get at least 2 chances to score points.  And Rodgers maybe only the 1 time if Tampa eat up the clock

    Unless there is an error/turnover from either team that leads to a score

    I didn’t like the call going for 2, means if they get a FG here you need a TD and 2pt con.

    Johnson makes some big catches last few weeks

    MASSIVE PICK!!!

    Brady's receivers have now dropped a few catches ... or through the hands

    Agreed ... tactically it was a poor percentage play going for 2

    That was Brady at fault I reckon. Bad throw. Or Evans was meant to be further down the field but got held up with the slight grab at the start of the route.

    And GB can't make the most of it ... twice

    GB running game not a factor ... we've reverted to kind.  Jones is too small,  gets hit hard,  out of the game.  We needed a running game on the last 2 drives

    8 point game now (should be 7)

    31-23

    So the Packers need a TD & a 2 point conversion just to tie things up.  4:33 left in the game

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
