Strange finish - that forward pass was way forward as well. The first play also had to be a throw to the sidelines - 26 seconds isn't a long time to play with.

Saints did well to get back into it but Seattle too good all the same.

    14 - zip already.

    That drive by the Pats was very impressive

    Edit : ... and the Colts get one back - now 14-7

    Indi pick up a safety in bizarre circumstances ... 21-12 now

    43-22 in the Pats favour now. 11.12 minutes left in the game.

    New England have run the ball for 184 yards - it's doubtful that the Colts would have prepared for that amount of running. Great bit of coaching by Belichick.

    Blount ran for 189 yards with 24 carries for 2 TD's in week 17 too - against the Bills.

    I guess we're just so accustomed to seeing Brady throw it a lot more.

    My wife asked me what I wanted to do today. I answered double header. She was perplexed at the thought and then not so happy when she found out what i meant.After watching the Seattle game it left me a little underwhelmed about the 'hawks. The saints couldn't put on any scoreboard pressure and being done for delay of game in crucial spots didn't help yet they were still in the game. The pats running game/strategy was brilliant. Brady needs the play action to give his not so great receivers a chance and it worked. Kap vs Cam I can't wait for that.

    The AFC Championship game will be played at 7.00am next Monday (AEDT) ... so it's New England @ Denver or San Diego @ New England.

    The NFC Championship game will follow that game at 10.30am (AEDT) Carolina or San Francisco @ Seattle.

    Here are the highlights and recaps from both of today's games ... Saints @ Seattle and Colts @ Patriots (the highlights may take a little while to load)

    Edit: Caught the last bit of "NFL Primetime" - Troy Wingo highlighted how quite a few teams have been running the ball a lot during the playoffs. Especially from some teams who have traditionally thrown the ball a lot.

    Reckon we ended up getting 2 ideal matchups in the 2 Championship games. Both games promise a lot

    Next Monday ...

    7.00am New England at Denver (ESPN & OneHD)

    10.30am San Francisco at Seattle (ESPN & OneHD)

    Points tally in the Playoff comp ...

    5 - titan_uranus, DemonDave, Macca

    2 - cowboy from hell, Gorgoroth, pantaloons, Strafford, the master,

    Looks like a race in 3 although there are 3 points up for grabs for picking the Super Bowl winner.

    Been massive hype over Manning v Brady already, both teams have been running the ball more than throwing it.

    Wonder if the thought of a cold/wet/snow Super Bowl may meant they decided to run it a bit more and it was so unusual for both teams to run it so often that it's been so effective?

    Not sure about the weather but you are right. Saints/Hawks ran the rock a lot as well. All the talk will be Manning V Brady but someone else will pop up and win this game. Then all the credit will go to Manning or Brady. As much as Belichick reminds me of Mark Neeld he has done an amazing job with a not so talented list that then got injured. If they win he should get the credit.

    Can anyone explain was Colston was trying to do with that play for New Orleans? Surely he should have stepped out of bounds and given them one more play? In the end though the better team won.

    Same goes for SF-Carolina, I think. Carolina's defence was pretty good all day but gave up some pretty needless penalties, whilst Cam got worse as the game went on. We're in pretty decent form right now, but I can't see us beating Seattle in Seattle.

    As for the AFC, New England's running game is a force to be reckoned with. Brady was actually rather average vs Indy, but it didn't matter with Blount, Ridley and Vereen tearing it up on the ground. Very potent offence (imagine what it would be with Gronk too).

    I think the niners got away with a lot, including the headbutt, the 12 guys in the huddle, you see the panthers D pointing it out and the ref looking but didn't call it and they score a TD.

    Bolden needs to be spoken too by his coaches otherwise he will lose it and cost the niners big yards and a game.

    The 12 men in the huddle non-call was terrible. It looked like the ref was looking right at the huddle at the time to see the 12th man run out! Definitely got lucky there.

    I reckon Seattle were hoping for a panthers win.

    I think San Fran are a really good chance this week.

    Actually, looks like we're both wrong: http://www.footballzebras.com/2014/01/14/10138/

    NFL rules are so complex, but apparently the referee was correct to not call the 12 in the huddle penalty. I think.

    Monday ...

    7.00am New England at Denver (ESPN & OneHD) Forecast - a top of 15 celsius with 15 km winds (with a 0% chance of rain)

    10.30am San Francisco at Seattle (ESPN & OneHD) Forecast - a top of 10 celcius with 10 km winds (with a 20% chance of rain)

    The Pats/Broncos game can go either way but I'll go with the team that played better last week - New England. This game has a big chance of going down to the wire. If the Pats can get their running game going again, they'll be right in it at the finish. I'd like Peyton to get to another Super Bowl but Bill Belichick might prove the difference in the end.

    New England 33 Denver 31

    Reckon the 49ers have a decent chance but they'll need to get a couple of scores before half time in order to win the game ... with at least one of those scores being a TD. Kaepernick and Gore have to have good games and I think both of them can do it. Overcoming the noise factor is probably San Francisco's biggest obstacle - they may just have the right plan, this time around.

    San Francisco 24 Seattle 22

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
