But is classified officially as Kansas City Missouri; something one would think that the President of the country should probably know.

yep, should know it's a popular quiz question

    That was a TD ... correct decision.  The new interpretation allows for the onfield decision to stand if it's a line-ball call.

    Again, another correct decision

    Kittles pushed off twice and that is Offensive pass interference every day of the week.  He might have been able to catch the ball without pushing off so in effect,  he cost his side dearly.  Did he even need to do it considering his skill set? 

    KC won fair & square and the refs had zero influence on the result.  The 49ers had every chance and couldn't nail down the win.

    Agree with both decisions, but either could have been called the other way.

     I thought the officiating was first class.

    The half time entertainment was woeful. While the singers may be  very good their choice of songs and the over production using dancers left a lot to be desired.

    Shakira-Shakira - Hips don't lie!

    It's half-time show, not a concert.  I'm not a fan of either artist but "that's entertainment!".

    I feel sorry for you if you couldn't enjoy that.  You probably hated Katy Perry and left shark too?

    The hold on Bosa that was not called on the 44 yard throw to Tyreek Hill when it was 3rd and 15 was poor officiating. Was massive in the context of the game too.

    No holds paid all game which is quite astounding. Seems they were only paying what was blindingly obvious - makes the OPI against Little before the half difficult to explain. Once they threw the flag they had to uphold it but could have easily been a no call. Was almost identical to the one not paid against Thielen when he caught the game winning TD against the Saints in OT a couple of weeks back.

    American football is a terrible sport to watch.   Goes for three hours with only eleven minutes of actual play

    makes you wonder why each side needs 2 teams and they only play 16 games a season

    closer to four teams.... 11 on the field at any one time with 46 players activated per game.

    Have never liked the sideline clutter of players and officials. If you add in all the chain men,TV cameras etc you have got over a hundred people on the side lines.

    Haven't really got a team but I do love the series "Americas Game".
    They follow the Superbowl winning team thoughout their winning season and interview players and coaches etc.

    Anyway, I've watched them all and this one is easily my favourite.
    1981 San Fransico 49rs.
    Apparently they were truely terrible a couple years previous and turned it around with a new coach and some astute drafting .... Including Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott.
    A great watch for anyone interested and would love to see us replicate the feat.

     

     

    And if you want another entertaining one .......

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
