Just watched the latest 30 for 30 doco .... 'This Was the XFL' and it was very good.  The league ultimately only lasted 1 year but a number of the innovations used in that 1 season are being used by the NFL today. 

Overall the show highlighted an intriguing snap-shot of how the Americans go about things ... the doco is being repeated on ESPN on Sunday night (8.30pm) and is well worth a look.

Here's the trailer ...

 

Falcons 34 - Patriots 31

Matt Ryan MVP (Freeman a smokey)

 

 

 

 

My heart says Atlanta but my head says the Patriots ... (plus, I want to win the post-season tipping comp)

New England 28  Atlanta 25

The Pats will need to be beaten which sounds obvious but they won't ordinarily make enough errors to lose.  In other words, the Falcons are going to have to play lights out in order to win.

But for your sake JV, I hope I'm wrong.

Good luck on Monday!

 

Post Season Tipping Comp Leaderboard

9 - JV7

7 - Gorgoroth,  Macca

6 - Clintosaurus

5 - DeeSpencer


Im with you Macca, gotta win the Comp. Pats 34 - Falcons 33 in overtime.

 

heart says Falcons 33, pats 24

Falcons 27 Pats 23. Vic Beasley for MVP. 

Have been calm for 2 weeks but the nerves are starting to kick in... Hopefully get to sleep tonight. God knows what I'll be like if the Dees ever make the big one

 

Would Brady even be nervous right now? 


Yep that sideline catch by Julio was pretty good. Atlanta looking really good.

Falcons go out to a 14 - 0 lead and playing very well in all facets.

Couple of holding penalties but Atlanta are settled and switched on


This is gonna be hard for the Pats to come back. Atlanta can just play the effective run game and hold onto the ball. 

That's a bad error by Brady but a terrific interception by Alford all the same ... now 21 - 0

Falcons all over them

Can not believe this... Brady pick 6 for a 21-0 lead... This defense is on fire! Still nervous though


Holding the Pats to a field goal there was immense ... 21-3 is so much better than 21-7

As cfh said,  look to see Atlanta's running game in operation in the 2nd half

 

 
Just now, Gorgoroth said:

Edelman has dropped so many tonight, it's strange he usually is so good.

He should have watched been watching Lady Gaga at half time ... nice catch at the end of her performance

This is turning into a rout ... still nervous JV?

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
