I tell you what Macca. You can have your thread back. Cherrio

It's not my thread.  Dappa Dan kicked things off

This thread survives because we're all careful with what we say about the other teams

Let's face it, it's like Blues, Demons, Pies, Bombers, Tigers & Hawk fans all in the one conversation without it getting heated

You would have been best served arguing your point out.  But again, the choker jibe invites trouble

There's often a very fine line between winning and losing

In the end, you got lucky but you very nearly blew it

But hey, winners are grinners Gorg and you won the game.  49ers next week will be very interesting

Can they handle your defence and can you handle their defence?

We could see some turnovers on offense for both teams.  That's been the pattern this weekend and we may get more of the same

 

Rams need to commit 100% to stopping the run. Make Jimmy beat us. If their run game gets going it’s going to be hard. Contain and stop the run. Let the secondary do their job. 
Whit and Rapp hopefully back next week.

Yep, in crunch time yesterday the 49ers run came to the fore ... but your run defence is much better than what we saw from the Packers & Cowboys (against the Niners)

And the 49ers won't be leaning on Jimmy to win them the game ... short cut-out throws can be expected.  Jimmy, if managed well, can be effective

The 49ers run defence and pass defence is your biggest concern.  They are quite good, Gorg

Agree their D is very good, if we can establish the passing game early then make them drop more back that negates Bosa somewhat.

Agreed

Decibel factor at KC through the roof loud ... the 12th man!!

Play calling on that last Bills possession null & void!

 

Bills score in miraculous fashion.  Wow!

Josh Allen has been fantastic!

So now KC have got less than 2 minutes to save the day ... Bills 29 KC 26

This game is fun. Allen’s legs are elite then that throw on 4th &16 was crazy

Now KC take the lead!

Allen has a minute but the Bills trail by 4pts (29-33)

So they've got to get to the end zone

Simply amazing last quarter


Barnburner!

Bills score again ... Josh Allen is a genius!

13 seconds for the Chiefs to score ... 2 plays only?  A field goal ties it up

Are we going to overtime?

48 yard field goal attempt

We're going to overtime!!!

We get to watch these two blokes throw the ball a while longer. Unreal stuff

Is this the greatest play off weekend ever?

Yep ... the games have been fantastic

Chiefs win after being on their 25 yard line with 13 seconds remaining trailing by 3 points

Incredible!

So next week its ...

Bengals @ KC (7.00am Monday AEDT)

49ers @ Rams (10.40am Monday AEDT)

And moves have been made aplenty in the post season tipping comp

Anyone game enough to pick the Bengals?  haha

A total of 12 points up for grabs next week!

 

 

One of the greatest games of all time to end what surely is the greatest weekend of NFL games, ever?

There's no doubt the main reason the Bills lost is giving up a FG in 13 seconds.

But...

This might be the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of the current OT rules. For Allen not to get to touch the ball after the game he had is just not how that game should have ended. Both defences were stuffed which meant too much rested on who won the coin toss. It shouldn't be that way.

Absolutely incredible game that one between KC and Bills, I only managed to watch the last quarter live, but what a quarter!
Simply one of the most amazing finishes to a game ever, had to feel for Josh Allen, threw what looked to be about 3 game winning TDs, and agree with you titan_uranus, and watching some of the post match reaction on youtube, the experts are calling for a College Style extra time system whereby both teams get a chance with the ball.

Some of the best quarterbacks in the league, on both winning and losing teams this weekend, flinging some beautiful passes in between the wide receivers numbers (a teardrop pass from Brady to Fournette in Q2, Stafford's darts to Kupp in that final drive, Allen and Mahones both in Q4), I love to see it. 

 


And agree with everyone here, quite possibly the most exciting weekend of playoffs ever! 

KC ended up with the biggest winning margin of the weekend, but had to come from behind twice in the last minute to do so.

Very true, I feel sometimes he outsmarts himself or can be a bit overzealous with his play calling... I was a big fan of his time in Atlanta, the offense that year was unreal. 

Yeah exactly, he's got a tendency to get in his own way. No doubting his offensive mind though.

This game was absolutely spectacular, some truly amazing quarterback play. Was really hoping the Bills would get it. Watch out Bengals.

@Gorgoroth Guess we both need to get our dukes ready to stick up. 

I’m going to have to stick and move like Ali to avoid the scores next Monday.

  • 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?
