At this point right now no QB is playing better with what they have than Jordon Love

    I remember a Wildcard game in the 2002 season between the Niners and Giants at the old Candlestick. 14-38 down at half time and rallied back to win. 

    Strange things can happen in playoffs, just sayin.

    Big stop to hold them to 3. 
    Time usage is as important as anything for GB now, the more they can chew the loser desperate Cowboys have to become.

    You just never know in this sport but Dallas might have needed a TD on that drive

    Green Bay needs to eat up the clock so lets see how the short passes and running game goes.  Can't have a 3 and out

    *Gorg beat me to it

    That's a costly PI penalty on that 2 point play.  Could have been a 2 score game

    Dallas are quite capable so GB need to eat up the clock and hopefully score

    Been saying for years McCarthy is an overrated coach. Good during the reg season and avg during play offs. Looks like another year where his team is good enough to win a SB and come play offs can’t get it done.

    I hate going early on a win. Ultimate mozz

    In the 2021 GF declaring the win only came when we got 8 goals in front.  Might have been another Fritsch goal that sealed the deal

    Jones has had a game to remember, in a big match situation, his best ever

    He should pay with his job for this debacle.

    He was brought in to stiffen team resolve and have a genuine go at winning the SB. They are as far away as ever. Very brittle mentality. When the chips are down the cowboys have all the fortitude of a lemon meringue. Powder puffs.

    He just might. It’s one to ing to lose a play off, this is next level.

     

    Feel for you mate.

    At half time in that game I still thought thr Cats were a show. We missed some opportunities in the first half and went in 5 goals up. A quick goal to start the 2nd half and the Cats would have been within 4 and we'd have had a game. Fortunately we started the half with a Benny Brown dagger.

    The worst is when you get ribbed for these views by fellow laid back too cool for school MFC fans. "Relax bro we're 4 goals up" 

    It's my belief that everyone has their own in-built understanding of when a game is over and everyone else is wrong.

    8 of 11 here have tipped the Rams but that doesn't mean much

    The tipping curse has continued into the post-season!

    My dad is renowned for seeing who 'the tipsters' in the newspaper have tipped as research when doing his weekly footy tips. I still don't know why.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised nor would I defend him if it happened. 3 x 12 win seasons in a row and they have bottled it every time.

    I've never seen anything expansive or innovative about McCarthy's playbook and its my opinion that he succeeds when he has really strong coordinators. He's a facilitator coach and not a lot more. I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Quinn get another shot

    That surprises me. I mean lions have been good all year.

    The Rams are one of the most dangerous wildcard teams on the NFC side for mine. Their form on the last 5 weeks is close to best in NFL. 

    Really physical and if you just happen to catch them on a day when Stafford, Kupp, Nucua and Higbee look like they're playing flag football then good fricken luck!

    some consolation scores to give some respectability to the scoreline but make no mistake that was a trouncing. embarrassing stuff. just pathetic.

    Belichick to Dallas? Possible or stupid?

    Personally I can't see Bill going anywhere where he can't be GM or at least have a big say in drafting. Jog on.

    Excellent game from Love (albeit without too much pressure from the cowboys D). Looks like Packers have found a real talent to replace Rodgers @Macca. Reckon you guys are closer to an SB than Dallas.

    I can't get my head around Dak and Lamb having that moment on the sideline about not being on the same page. All year the chemistry has been electric between those two, maybe the best QB-WR connection in the league? Yet all of a sudden they lose it in the most important game? Deeper questions need to be asked there and you have to start with the coach.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
