Tampa 31 Chiefs 28. Have ridden the Brady train this far so.......................

Would have posted earlier but I got burnt by the Browns late in the regular season. Tipped them then found out when the game started that most of their offence was in Covid quarantine

Chiefs are killing them selves. Terrible punts, not offence, dropping easy catches and their D is continually giving up terrible penalties.

14-3 with 6 mins left in. Second. Gotta score a tad before the half and not allow one for TB. 

TB D has been solid, running game is going great and allowing Brady time to throw as accurate as I’ve seen.

I would rather be in front than behind at halftime. I say catch me if you can.  Brady the greatest QB  of all time and that will be put to bed for all to know,.

Patrick Mahomes poor first half  compared to a great first half by a 43 yo Brady. 

The KCC will have to find something special to get up in a super bowl game, being 15 points behind.

This game is done. I’m calling it. 
chiefs are all over the shop from the coach to the defence.

Game over!

I still give them a slight shot, Andy Reid half time adjustment specialist. But massive edge to the Bucs. Brady picking apart their front 7.

I would but the D is being slaughtered. Andy is calling poorly, their punter is so bad they should sit him.

They have to score a TD this opening drive and 3 and out the Buccs to get the momentum

Yeah changed my mind 5 mins in. Too much shooting themself in the foot.'kicked themselves out of it. Arians and Leftwich have coached well.

Haven't decided if it was a great game for the general public but for those of us that appreciate championship defense it was brilliant. TB12 undoubtedly the GOAT now, he's squashed the silly 'he's Belichick's puppy' argument now. 

Mahomes and Reid had a very off night as Gorg correctly called it early. I thought we'd see a bit more open offense plays called in the second half but too many dropped balls and more stupid penalties cost them. Mahomes is special no doubt and he and the Cheifs will be back no doubt. Personally I was glad the torch wasn't passed just yet.

And we have a winner in the post season tipping comp!

@Go the Biff picks up his 2nd post season award after overtaking @Dee Zephyr after today's result.  Getting over the line by correctly picking the Tampa SB victory

Well done GtB and fully deserved too.  You stuck with Brady right throughout the playoffs and it paid off

Well done to DZ as well in finishing 2nd - DZ was the first to post up his tip for the SB (which gave the rest of us a chance!)  Nobility is alive & well

And thanks to all for your participation.  The post season comp has worked better with the bonus points on offer (in my view) but I also believe the regular season comp should stay as it is.  Let the tradition continue

n.b. Hall of Fame stats to follow directly

 

Anyway, here's your prize GtB!

Thanks @Macca. Joe Montana got me into this game but Brady is the GOAT. I had a feeling he'd be looking for Gronk & Brown today. Fournette & Jones were great too - all the senior citizens had a day out. Thought Shaq Barrett should have been MVP though.

What I wasn't expecting was that weak effort from KC. Where the hell was that 12 months ago when I really wanted it ???

Thanks again for running the comps. It really does broaden your interest in the NFL instead of just following your own team.

Bring on next season. Can we get Aaron Rogers to the 49ers somehow ?

This times 1000. Barrett and to a slightly lesser extent Jason Pierre-Paul had as much influence on the result with their pressure on Mahomes. Mahomes is great fun to watch though.

It was a much better game than the margin suggested. Chiefs played as dumb as the Raiders often do.

Strange year for Fournette. Got cut by the worst team in the league and ends up with a ring. As does Blaine Gabbert.

Shaq def. I did have $5 on JPP @$91 for mvp so that would have been ok too ?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
