    Providing that Barcley has his usual output, that will keep the Eagles in the match. If he is at his best then the Eagles can win. If KC curtail him, then the Chiefs should win KC's offense nearly always has a number of big moments and one of their strengths is being able to achieve 1st downs after a couple of plays Reid was quoted as saying that it will come down to which team makes the least mistakes but it's those big offensive moments that gains big yards that also makes the difference And both teams can gain big yards from any particular play All logic says KC win again but because the margin looks to be on the small side, I reckon it's a toss-up (a guess)

    ... along with 17 consecutive 1 score victories! There has to be an element of luck to all those victories as just one extra TD to the opposition means victory to the opposition

    Sorry about the late reply but that's how these other threads work sometimes, GtB! Did a bit of research and arrived at these figures for day passes for 2025 (converted to Aussie dollars) Wimbledon $59 French Open $65 Australian Open $59 US Open $215 !!! I was shocked at the U.S amount but thought Wimbledon would be a lot more expensive As for the food and drinks pricing, I'd imagine the prices would all be quite expensive at all the venues So we come out of it quite well, all things considered (especially with the huge improvements to Melbourne Park in terms of accessibility, creature comforts and freedom of movement) Tickets for the QF's, SF's & Finals would all be very expensive but we are seeing the best in the world at play

    WADA has decided to appeal to CAS re the ITIA's decision to clear Yannik Sinner's failed drug test (Steroids) Happening in a few months just prior to the French Open Most will be familiar with WADA & CAS, but the ITIA is a Tennis organisation/committee set up by the ATP, WTA & the Grand Slam tournaments to safeguard the integrity of tennis Sinner could face a ban ranging from 1 month and up to 2 years if found guilty The Sinner original defence surrounded a cream applied to a cut which contained the anabolic steroid However, he did fail a drug test on 2 separate occasions with the reading being less than a billionth of a gram.

    Neither Super Bowl team is superior to the other ... it's a deadset pickem' match-up But on the day is often a different story and that's why we sometimes see blow-outs with evenly matched teams For instance, today we saw the Eagles demolish Washington but they are not a 30 point better team. 4 major errors vs none and the Eagles took advantage Where as in the Bills/Chiefs game the fumbles were all recovered except the one Mahomes fumble It's those big moments that matter the most and the Chiefs are very good in the big moments That KC 41 yard punt return to Remigio which led to a field goal was one such big moments. As was the dropped catch by Kincaid for Buffalo late in the game

    2 of the original posters on this thread are represented in the Super Bowl Dappa Dan (Eagles) and Pantaloons (Chiefs) and both those lads will be well pleased (again) 2 really good teams and Gorg summed it up well with the scoring power of both teams But I can't help but think that if Barcley has a day out, the Eagles will be hard to stop. Equally, the Chiefs have a few weapons of their own Promises to be a top game!

    Yes, we've seen a lot of dropped catches in the playoffs. Too many KC get a 1st down and it's over. Bills just can't get over the line. Are they cursed? So it's the Eagles & Chiefs at the Superdome in 2 weeks time

    Mahomes sacked! That could be costly

    What was Milano thinking with that face-mask? Handed KC an extra 15 yards

    Another excellent drive by the Bills Now KC have the ball back with the scores level with 06:15 left on the clock

    Well constructed TD by the Chiefs with Mahomes finishing well with the run 2 point conversion makes it a 7 point game. 10:14 remaining It's anyone's game!

    As you said, if in doubt, the in play call often stands In other words, the evidence needs to be reasonably compelling to overturn

    Been an excellent contest but the Bills need to score on this drive

    Macca replied to Dappa Dan's post in a topic in Other Sports
    Bills have now rushed for 116 yards (34 just before half time) and finished that drive with a spectacular TD KC did not look comfortable against the run

    KC should have got a face-mask but the ref's do miss infringements Mahomes got too cheeky there ... cost them a field goal chance

    Mahomes has been allowed to slide unimpeded ... defenders 2nd guessing? Not worth letting him earn it

    Seems a bit unfair when the defender caught the ball almost to the ground ... receicer was lucky to be lying on his back and then snaffled the ball like a theif!!

    And the Bills answer back with an excellent TD. And then miss on the 2 point conversion!

    That's a tricky one ... too hard to overturn?

    Chiefs got that TD a little too easily. Bills have only rushed the ball for 34 yards

    Bills have settled well after a shaky start

    Might come down to the team making the fewest errors!
