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

    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?)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
