They at least need a field goal - then it's a 7pt game.

2 picks on Brady now ... so instead of the Pats scoring, the Seahawks get the chance to score. Is Wilson the most elusive 'good' QB in the game?

lol

Can anyone imagine the AFL doing the half time entertainment even 10% as good as that? Katy Perry = awesome

An incompletion would have left 2 seconds on the clock but of course, something could have gone wrong

Gutsy call ... wow, what a play!

Great throw by Brady ... centimetre perfect

Terrible penalty ... could be costly

Big catch by Matthews ... finally got some offense going Edit: Beast mode !

Well, they bounced back well - TD to the Pats

Cost 'em at least 3 points ... might come back to haunt them at the end of the game. Only saw the hit on Brady once but it may well have been helmet to helmet ... if that penalty was called, they would have been very close to the end zone. The refs might be letting things go today

Panic throw from Brady?

Too good was Novak ... a worthy champion. That's 5 Aussie opens and 8 grand slam tournaments overall. He's made 2 of the last 3 French finals so he might be able to get at least one of those in the future (Nadal is going for his 10th this year - that's just too many )

Yep, he just fell in a hole ... beware the (supposed) injured athlete hey?

It's a very hard match to predict. Maybe whoever wins this set wins the match ... but who knows?

Well, that was some 2nd set ... we could be here for quite some time.

I've tipped Seattle for a few reasons I stated a few posts back but I'd also like them to win so as to reinforce to the Packers as to what they've missed out on ... in a way that might help Green Bay to be doubly determined for next season. I know a lot of people don't like Seattle's "in your face" style but that stuff doesn't bother me. I like the way their defense often acts as another form of offense.

Yep, it is. And the way the QB's are protected now, they'll have even better numbers to stake their claim. Not saying that Aaron wasn't a worthy winner though - he was almost certainly the best of the QB's. Romo had a very good year - probably his best year in fact. Sharing the accolades around ... there's a lot of categories now. How about the most disappointed fan award? Or worst coach? I'd have a couple of candidates for those 2 would be awards

Yeah, well done ... Rodgers got the MVP but JJ Watt can count himself very unlucky. I think if the Texans had have made the playoffs, he might have got it. Big honour for Bridgewater though.

and here it is ...

are grinners

A top strike too ... it might open up at the back now (or in the last half of the 2nd half)

The back of his elbow was hit was it not? It was an unusual knock and I'm not sure about the length of time for recovery. If it's like a corky, he should be fine. Apparently he didn't train yesterday because of an unrelated back injury but who knows? They'll need him, that's for sure.

I'm on call Monday but I'm hoping not to get that call I've been invited to a couple of functions but can't commit unfortunately. Every year is different ... for a long time I had every Monday off and that situation may eventuate again in the future. If I'm off I'll probably be posting here ... otherwise, trying to avoid the scores might prove a little tricky.

Well we're going to get at least 4 sets but I'm tipping it goes 5. Could be a classic. 1 set all but the 2nd set to Wawrinka was perhaps more impressive.
