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.

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
