Colts what a joke - handed Pats the #1 pick too 🙄

Turned out to be the trap game

    If the Falcons win their last 2 games and Seattle beat the Rams next week, Atlanta will end up as the 3rd seed in the NFC

    So a lot riding on this match because if the Falcons lose today, they may not be in the playoffs at all!

    Falcons lead 14-7 after that interception

    Lions have nothing to play for tomorrow as they will still need to defeat the Vikings next week in order to win the NFC North (regardless of tomorrow's result)

    Atlanta leading 17-7 against Washington at half time and if they can win today, they can wrap up the NFC South with a win at home against the Panthers next week

    Falcons miss FG and into OT we go

    Falcons will always Falcon… FFS

    It’s a broken record but the regular season OT rule needs to changed… It’s a joke a team doesn’t have right of reply if the opposition wins the toss & scores first up. Yes I know there is the other side “defence need to hold up” but it doesn’t feel right…

    Maybe in the old days you could say "D needs to hold up" but the game/rules are so heavily skewed to the offense these days it's unfair not to allow a team a possession.

    It's just a rubbish rule and amateurish to be honest.  About as unfair as it gets and as Gonzo, mentioned, the sport is all geared towards scoring these days

    Especially when considering that a teams offense starts at their own 30 yard line on mostly perfect surfaces ... getting into the red zone is not all that difficult these days

    It's just my view but I prefer NFL games that are not free-scoring affairs.  So I don't like the 30 yard rule and would prefer it if it was 20 yards

    The new safety rules that protect QB's, WR's and the like is enough as far as I'm concerned.  Giving the offense extra un-earned yards seems unfair on the defense in my view

    I think it should be the whole time limit. Play the full time no matter how many possessions.

    49ers slicing through this Detroit defence.  The question is can they curtail Detroits offense?

    No they can't. Lions offence is phenomenal

    Double points for the last week and the title is almost in GtB's hands!

    Although it is a tricky week and 8 points is still possible (if only 1 participant gets 3 from 3)

    Some of the lines are rather questionable but are the bookies ever wrong?

    Going to be interesting on games like the Rams who will know before the play if the Bucs have won/lost and what it could mean to seeding, but I think a lot of starters get sat this weekend.

    It's either one or the other when the results don't matter.  It's either all-in or the starters get rested.  And Vegas cottons on early with the odds/lines

    Best to follow the money a la KC, Bills & Texans (starters rested with all 3 teams?)

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
