At this point right now no QB is playing better with what they have than Jordon Love 

 

I remember a Wildcard game in the 2002 season between the Niners and Giants at the old Candlestick. 14-38 down at half time and rallied back to win. 

Strange things can happen in playoffs, just sayin.

Big stop to hold them to 3. 
Time usage is as important as anything for GB now, the more they can chew the loser desperate Cowboys have to become.

You just never know in this sport but Dallas might have needed a TD on that drive

Green Bay needs to eat up the clock so lets see how the short passes and running game goes.  Can't have a 3 and out

*Gorg beat me to it

After all that Dallas miss the extra point. Nothing going right

Oh I don’t know, seems alright to me


That's a costly PI penalty on that 2 point play.  Could have been a 2 score game

Dallas are quite capable so GB need to eat up the clock and hopefully score 

Been saying for years McCarthy is an overrated coach. Good during the reg season and avg during play offs. Looks like another year where his team is good enough to win a SB and come play offs can’t get it done.

I hate going early on a win. Ultimate mozz

In the 2021 GF declaring the win only came when we got 8 goals in front.  Might have been another Fritsch goal that sealed the deal

Jones has had a game to remember, in a big match situation, his best ever

He should pay with his job for this debacle.

He was brought in to stiffen team resolve and have a genuine go at winning the SB. They are as far away as ever. Very brittle mentality. When the chips are down the cowboys have all the fortitude of a lemon meringue. Powder puffs.

He just might. It’s one to ing to lose a play off, this is next level.

 

Feel for you mate.

At half time in that game I still thought thr Cats were a show. We missed some opportunities in the first half and went in 5 goals up. A quick goal to start the 2nd half and the Cats would have been within 4 and we'd have had a game. Fortunately we started the half with a Benny Brown dagger.

The worst is when you get ribbed for these views by fellow laid back too cool for school MFC fans. "Relax bro we're 4 goals up" 

It's my belief that everyone has their own in-built understanding of when a game is over and everyone else is wrong.

8 of 11 here have tipped the Rams but that doesn't mean much

The tipping curse has continued into the post-season!

My dad is renowned for seeing who 'the tipsters' in the newspaper have tipped as research when doing his weekly footy tips. I still don't know why.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised nor would I defend him if it happened. 3 x 12 win seasons in a row and they have bottled it every time.

I've never seen anything expansive or innovative about McCarthy's playbook and its my opinion that he succeeds when he has really strong coordinators. He's a facilitator coach and not a lot more. I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Quinn get another shot

That surprises me. I mean lions have been good all year.

The Rams are one of the most dangerous wildcard teams on the NFC side for mine. Their form on the last 5 weeks is close to best in NFL. 

Really physical and if you just happen to catch them on a day when Stafford, Kupp, Nucua and Higbee look like they're playing flag football then good fricken luck!

some consolation scores to give some respectability to the scoreline but make no mistake that was a trouncing. embarrassing stuff. just pathetic.

Belichick to Dallas? Possible or stupid?

Personally I can't see Bill going anywhere where he can't be GM or at least have a big say in drafting. Jog on.

 

Excellent game from Love (albeit without too much pressure from the cowboys D). Looks like Packers have found a real talent to replace Rodgers @Macca. Reckon you guys are closer to an SB than Dallas.

I can't get my head around Dak and Lamb having that moment on the sideline about not being on the same page. All year the chemistry has been electric between those two, maybe the best QB-WR connection in the league? Yet all of a sudden they lose it in the most important game? Deeper questions need to be asked there and you have to start with the coach.

  • 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.
