I tell you what Macca. You can have your thread back. Cherrio

It's not my thread.  Dappa Dan kicked things off

This thread survives because we're all careful with what we say about the other teams

Let's face it, it's like Blues, Demons, Pies, Bombers, Tigers & Hawk fans all in the one conversation without it getting heated

You would have been best served arguing your point out.  But again, the choker jibe invites trouble

There's often a very fine line between winning and losing

In the end, you got lucky but you very nearly blew it

But hey, winners are grinners Gorg and you won the game.  49ers next week will be very interesting

Can they handle your defence and can you handle their defence?

We could see some turnovers on offense for both teams.  That's been the pattern this weekend and we may get more of the same

 

Rams need to commit 100% to stopping the run. Make Jimmy beat us. If their run game gets going it’s going to be hard. Contain and stop the run. Let the secondary do their job. 
Whit and Rapp hopefully back next week.

Yep, in crunch time yesterday the 49ers run came to the fore ... but your run defence is much better than what we saw from the Packers & Cowboys (against the Niners)

And the 49ers won't be leaning on Jimmy to win them the game ... short cut-out throws can be expected.  Jimmy, if managed well, can be effective

The 49ers run defence and pass defence is your biggest concern.  They are quite good, Gorg

Agree their D is very good, if we can establish the passing game early then make them drop more back that negates Bosa somewhat.

Agreed

Decibel factor at KC through the roof loud ... the 12th man!!

Play calling on that last Bills possession null & void!

 

Bills score in miraculous fashion.  Wow!

Josh Allen has been fantastic!

So now KC have got less than 2 minutes to save the day ... Bills 29 KC 26

This game is fun. Allen’s legs are elite then that throw on 4th &16 was crazy

Now KC take the lead!

Allen has a minute but the Bills trail by 4pts (29-33)

So they've got to get to the end zone

Simply amazing last quarter


Barnburner!

Bills score again ... Josh Allen is a genius!

13 seconds for the Chiefs to score ... 2 plays only?  A field goal ties it up

Are we going to overtime?

48 yard field goal attempt

We're going to overtime!!!

We get to watch these two blokes throw the ball a while longer. Unreal stuff

Is this the greatest play off weekend ever?

Yep ... the games have been fantastic

Chiefs win after being on their 25 yard line with 13 seconds remaining trailing by 3 points

Incredible!

So next week its ...

Bengals @ KC (7.00am Monday AEDT)

49ers @ Rams (10.40am Monday AEDT)

And moves have been made aplenty in the post season tipping comp

Anyone game enough to pick the Bengals?  haha

A total of 12 points up for grabs next week!

 

 

One of the greatest games of all time to end what surely is the greatest weekend of NFL games, ever?

There's no doubt the main reason the Bills lost is giving up a FG in 13 seconds.

But...

This might be the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of the current OT rules. For Allen not to get to touch the ball after the game he had is just not how that game should have ended. Both defences were stuffed which meant too much rested on who won the coin toss. It shouldn't be that way.

Absolutely incredible game that one between KC and Bills, I only managed to watch the last quarter live, but what a quarter!
Simply one of the most amazing finishes to a game ever, had to feel for Josh Allen, threw what looked to be about 3 game winning TDs, and agree with you titan_uranus, and watching some of the post match reaction on youtube, the experts are calling for a College Style extra time system whereby both teams get a chance with the ball.

Some of the best quarterbacks in the league, on both winning and losing teams this weekend, flinging some beautiful passes in between the wide receivers numbers (a teardrop pass from Brady to Fournette in Q2, Stafford's darts to Kupp in that final drive, Allen and Mahones both in Q4), I love to see it. 

 


And agree with everyone here, quite possibly the most exciting weekend of playoffs ever! 

KC ended up with the biggest winning margin of the weekend, but had to come from behind twice in the last minute to do so.

Very true, I feel sometimes he outsmarts himself or can be a bit overzealous with his play calling... I was a big fan of his time in Atlanta, the offense that year was unreal. 

Yeah exactly, he's got a tendency to get in his own way. No doubting his offensive mind though.

This game was absolutely spectacular, some truly amazing quarterback play. Was really hoping the Bills would get it. Watch out Bengals.

@Gorgoroth Guess we both need to get our dukes ready to stick up. 

I’m going to have to stick and move like Ali to avoid the scores next Monday.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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.
