Got my concerns over Darnold as a backup. Doesn't quite cut the mustard and I'm not just saying that after today.

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

The Bills do have something to play for because if they win, they win their division!

2 days ago there was a chance they were going to miss the playoffs altogether

Thanks for running it again Macca! Legend!

Amazing finish and of course if the Eagles had not have fallen in a hole, the leaderboard would have had a completely different look

Those who tipped away from the Eagles were on the money.  The Jags losing put a few out as well

A whole year of upset losses and this week was no different

Jags stuff up cost me dearly.

Cowboys won't take anything for granted against the packers next week although no Aaron Rodgers to torment them this time.

Been a good game and Josh Allen is must viewing (mostly good with the odd, costly, unexpected error)

Miami's defence has been very good in the red zone.  Leading 14-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter, I reckon they win

 

Edit:  er ... special teams comes to the rescue!  Bills draw level!

A wild game a week out from wild-card weekend

Another costly dropped catch by Miami ... punted it away 4 in a row now

Bills can put the game away with this drive (leading 21-14 with 5:28 left in the game)

Fantastic 2nd half from Josh Allen ... overall has thrown for 370 yards with 2 TD's, 2 interceptions, 1 fumble and has run for 69 yards

1:17  left and Miami have got the ball back.  PI so Miami on the Bills 40 yard line (14-21 so they need a TD)

Interception!!  Bills win the division

Wild Card Weekend Schedule (AEDT)

Sun 8.30am  Cleveland (-2) @ Houston (+2)

Sun 12.00pm  Miami (+3) @ Kansas City (-3)

Mon 5.00am  Pittsburgh (+9.5) @ Buffalo (-9.5)

Mon 8.30am  Green Bay (+7) @ Dallas (-7)

Mon  12.00pm LA Rams (+4) @ Detroit (-4)

Tues  12.15pm Philadelphia (-2.5) @ Tampa Bay (+2.5)

A really good selection of games with maybe Dallas and Pittsburgh being the only clear favourites

So, if we get enough starters, we can have another post-season tipping comp

Here's how it works ...

Straight winners & margins (1-6, 7-13,  13+ or post up your scorelines)

Week 1 ... 1 point per win plus 1 bonus point for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 5 ... 5 points for the SB win plus 5 points for the correct scoreline bracket

You can use the above list of games (copy & paste) to post up your tips but don't forget to add a scoreline or points bracket (1-6,  7-12 or 13+)

A 2nd chance at tipping glory without the arduous task of trying to find road winners!!

I'll prompt up everyone tomorrow or Wednesday but feel free to go early on your tips

I'll wrap up the regular season tipping comp soon enough but well done to Gonzo (winner) and those that finished on the podium (DemonDave, Gorgoroth & layzie)

And thanks to all for your participation

RAMS WIN!!!

And with a very handy back-up in Carson Wentz as QB (who played well)

There was a time where Wentz was regarded as close to the best in the league

Still, you can only really play 1 QB so Stafford will be involved in every offensive play 

If you can get over Detroit, it's game on but that first wild-card win is the key.  I could say the same about the Packers but the Cowboys at BigD is a huge assignment for such a young team (Packers)

But your Rams have a lot of experience so you have that playoff experience over the Lions.  Bookies have Detroit at -4

Be interesting, both sides got a little banged up, but I didn’t expect the rams to even get 6 wins so I’ll take a wild card spot.

Yeah same

A nothing to lose attitude can sometimes be good in terms of taking chances

And the Packers definitely have to take risks to beat Dallas ... for instance, we can't be satisfied with 3 pointers at BigD.  Going to have to score 3 or 4 TD's to have any sort of chance.  As it stands, it's a big ask but you never know

Dallas is a big ask but their crowd and town expect big things, so the pressure is right on them. 
Love has proven enough this year but a good play off game vs a great D would give him and. The team huge confidence going into next year.

Agree. I'm really impressed with Love this year. Good offensive coach, solid running game, a few reinforcements and they could be back with a bang.

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
