Dropped catches should be a stat ... as should non-attempts!!  

I'm damn sure the coaches would keep stats for those sorts of misses

The dropped catch scenario in NFL is a great metaphor for life and how you can't get anywhere in it by yourself.

"Sometimes you'll throw the perfect pass and then out of your control, the receiver drops it. That's life. "

    Of course, but when its at the end of the game its more of a focus. 
    But Winston flat balled out. Ravens offense is always decent but the run game was no where near as good and the Ravens D is the weak spot for the team.

    Yeah very rarely is anything called at the end of the game. 

    As for hail mary plays I'm going to make up a theory that it's because the endzone is usually a different colour to the regular grass thus making it harder for refs to see holds and [censored] because it blends in.

    In the U.S they talk about the sporting Equinox

    The NFL, NBA, MLB & NHL all played on the same day.  You could throw in the MLS as well as the ultra popular College Football

    It must be nuts being a sports fan in the USA ... so many teams and so many games.  Every day!

    The focus should always be on the whole game 

    For instance, years ago a team was seemingly gifted a SB berth on the back of a bad call right at the end of the NFC Championship game

    But that same team copped a couple of bad calls in the first half

    Looking at that whole game though the Ravens dropped 3 interceptions that basically hit them on the chest and then also a dropped catch by a receiver. Browns were good but those dropped catches on both sides of the ball definitely cost the Ravens.

    I should have said any game, any time over any number of years for all teams in any sport!  haha!

    It works the same with penalties, infringements, frees or other adjudications

    All things considered, Winston had a good match given that he is deemed to be a below average, back-up QB

    Luck was on his side but when you get lucky, you lap it up because the bad luck is just around the corner

    As an aside, if Carson Wentz doesn't get injured in the year when the Eagles won the SB, do they win with Foles on the sidelines?  I wonder

    Jordan Love out injured for the Packers but are Green Bay a better team with Willis as the QB?  Again, I wonder

    There's a lot of sport that I would like watch but don't have the time ... for instance I'd like to get right into ice-hockey but I'd need a spare 10-15 hours per week

    So I tend to just watch a few highlights packages apart from when it comes to test cricket or the MFC

    NFL gets a bit of my time but not as much as I'd like

    But how many teams can we have a genuine attachment to, with real passion?

    I'd say 3 but my third one floats about (Olympics, EPL, MLB, Golf, Tennis etc)

    For me it’s 3, Dees, Rams, Timberwolves, Bolton is easier as it’s all via twitter and then 3-4m highlight packages.

    All they need is NASCAR on that day and then it's every corner of the country on easy street!

    My theory is that you can only be madly into 2 sports at the same time. By that I mean 2 sports where you watch every game, you check the net or socials for news or you frequent a fine establishment like Demonland.

    My 3 favs AFL, NFL and Soccer (the latter which a long time ago I seemed to comfortably fit in EPL, Spanish League, Italian league and some A-league is almost exclusively EPL now) for most of the year there is 2 of these on at the same time which helps.

    I love the sport of Basketball and I'd even go as far as saying I love to watch the NBA but my interest in it is completely different to NFL. I mostly follow players and 'good games', I have a team I don't care about them like I care about the Niners. I do like basketball though and talking about it right now makes me want to go outside and shoot some hoops. The UFC I go through fluctuating periods of either being obsessed or completely out of it. Yeah that's my ted talk.

    Jets running back drops the ball inches before crossing the plane of the end zone to celebrate… ball rolls out of the end zone so it’s a touchback… only the Jets.

    Before having kids I would watch Falcons games every week. I’d avoid social media or checking the scores & race home from work every Monday to watch it on replay. I just don’t get the time to watch these days. I usually just check the scores these days!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
