I think the packers take the 49ers out easily. I know San Fran had the week off but Green Bay have form and have most offensive weapons fit and firing. 49ers are allowing a lot of points lately and I don't have to explain how good Rodgers is. The only thing standing in Green bay's way is kaepernick can throw the deep pass really well and the packers will have to defend that all day.

 
CFH, the interesting bit is how will all the injuries to GB affect them?

Cobb and Nelson will both play. I don't know what other injuries they have but with a full receiving unit and a very solid running game they can score with anyone.

 

Here is Bill Simmons weekly column from Grantland ... The Always Reliable Mailbag ... this week's column focuses on the history of Bill answering readers e-mail's (dating back to the not so sophisticated internet days of 1997)

" But in 1997 the Internet was a bizarre cross between the Wild Wild West and a maximum-security prison. There were no rules, no accountability, and more incoherent, typo-infested, all-caps e-mails than you can possibly imagine. I remember being shocked by how vicious people were. One time, I called Karl Malone "The Mail Fraud" in a column and someone from Utah (who somehow found the piece) sent me a legitimate death threat while also describing various ways I could have coitus with myself. Knives and axes were included. Not just knives — knives AND axes. So that was interesting.

Divisional round playoffs starts tomorrow . ESPN & OneHD are showing all this weeks games 'live'.

Reckon Denver and New England should both win and I'm hoping for a Green Bay victory. The Seattle/Atlanta game is really hard to pick . What's happens to the Falcons if they lose ? Early in the week I thought the Seahawks, but who knows? Looking forward to all 4 games. See y'all tomorrow morning ...

Broncos and Patriots should win comfortably, highlighting the overall weak standard of the AFC.

As for the NFC, being a 49ers fan I sincerely hope the home field advantage will be enough to overcome Aaron Rodgers and that bevy of receivers, but I worry about our defence. Justin Smith is key, but even if he's back to 100%, we've had a bad few weeks, Aldon Smith is out of form, and we're just conceding too many big plays. Russell Wilson and Tom Brady tore our secondary apart, and Aaron Rodgers is better than both (with better receivers). Meanwhile, Kaepernick is all over the place. If he gets it together like he did in Foxborough, then maybe we can match the Packers on offence. It's going to be close.

Seattle-Atlanta should also be close. All week I've been leaning towards the Seahawks, but having watched their game against Washington, they were flat and started terribly. At Atlanta, maybe they Falcons can put up some early points and put some pressure on. They will certainly be more effective on offence than Washington with RG3 on one leg was. I'd love an Atlanta win; for one, they deserve it, but more importantly, I think SF can beat them in the Championship game, whereas I fear that, even at home, we'll lose to Seattle.

I'm tipping Patriots to beat Denver in the AFC Championship, making it a NE v SF (hopefully) Superbowl.


I meet a stupid patriots fan tonight at crown towers. I was wearing my Vikings jeresey and he came out of nowhere with his 19-0 patriots t-shirt on to tell me the Vikings suck. I politely told him the broncos with tebow could take out new England. I don't really believe that but go broncos. What a [censored].

Ha ha ha ! You've gotta wonder about some people . I've got a mate who is a Pats fan and he's pretty good about things (he's a staunch Demon as well and I must get him on to 'land at some stage) Different conference helps doesn't it - they're not really a rival in most respects. Same goes with a mate who's a Steelers fan.

Hard not to talk about Tebow or even use him as a reference. He's famous for um ........being Tim Tebow . Go figure ! I see the Jags have ruled a line through him . Hope he gets a gig somewhere.

In breaking news - 'old dee' has promised me he's coming over to this thread . A Bears fan for us, 'cfh' . And if 'dc' becomes a contributor here it could liven the thread up a bit !

Good post, apart from one slight correction I've made TU ^_^

Being a staunch Aussie, my heart is with the Packers at lunchtime today. Those green and gold colours are just irresistible !

Good luck, and may the better team win .

I think this mornings game between the ravens and broncos is going to be the best of the bunch!

Bring on kick off!

So far it has been great to watch! Geebus the Broncs need to sort out the deep coverage, Champ Bailey is getting burnt big time. If only Flacco could hit an open man Ravens woyuld be up. Go Broncs! Can Pey-pey keep throwing in the cold? I saw a stat yesterday that showed because of his neck issues he has troulbe throwing to the right and especially right deep. Most of his picks have come from throwing right this season. If the Rav's can push him that way they could bring this home.


Then he throws 2 perfect balls to his right for a touchdown to Moreno! Haha got to love stats and sports!

Really good game so far . 21 - 21 . Flacco is having a reasonably good game.

Denver have come home well all year though (even in their losses) . 1st touchdown scored in the 2nd half could be the key here.


F ME!!! Denver penalties killing us!!!

Now Flacco fumbles - that could be costly for the Ravens .

Denver has a huge positive differential in 2nd half compared to 1st half over the season. Pey-pey just seems to reboot the computer (Macbook apparently http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2013/01/peyton-manning-is-a-macbook-according-to-bernard-pollard.html)and goes again.

Ha ! I like the website name of that link .

Ravens force a punt - great punt by the Broncos . Baltimore need to be the next team to score if they're gonna be a show .

Denver often score TD's down the stretch

KSK is awesome! Sexy Friday, Thus mailbag and of course the Monday Peter King take downs are brilliant!

You would be spweing if a Ravens fan! They have not had the rub of the green today.

On another note so many rules and time outs and challenges really give me the irrates. The game is so skewed towards the O it is not funny. That should be a fumble of Peyton no if's but's or maybe's, no Tuck rule.


How the F can that have just happened. Denver secondary has given up some rubbish this year!

Did the ball hit the ground then bobble? The ground can't aid the catch . Could be overturned

 

What an amazing game in Denver that was! Full credit to the Ravens, I didnt expect that win today, especially travelling to Mile High.

That bomb by Flacco in the last quarter was a gem! The only thing I didnt like about the finish was that I was forced to jump onto ESPN

to watch a play by play tracker of the first 6 or so minutes of the Niners-Packers game while OT played out...

Yep, the Ravens came to play. Thought Denver were going to pull away from them but not to be. I had the Broncos fairly strong favourites so just goes to show hey?

Our game is another high scoring one. Will the shoot-out continue?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
