    Both teams should get a possession in overtime. The current ruling doesn't seem fair to me And I'm not talking through my hip pocket either (as far as I can remember, GB have never been on the receiving end as the Rams were today) Chances are that after a tough game, the toss of the coin before overtime has a big influence on the result. Both defences can be banged up so a decent offense can afford to be quite patient in advancing the ball Just one possession for each team makes sense

    Well, these external reviews have worked big time for the Cats, Tigers & Pies so I'm all in on barracking for the external review!!

    Well, on the road to the possible appearance in the NFC Championship game, you could try and enjoy the journey With regards to my team, as it stands right now, without Jordan Love for the foreseeable future, it's going to be tough for the Packers But, we're still an outside chance for a wild-card spot if Love gets back sooner rather than later, so you never know Mind you, with Dallas at 25-1 or even 20-1 to win the SB, it seems that Vegas agrees with you!! Hee hee

    Well, right now, I'd rather be in your position than numerous other teams Dallas 25-1 to win the SB is juicy odds

    Yes, a lot of positives for the Cowboys considering it was a virtual pick 'em game (-1.5 Dallas) A loss wouldn't have ended your season but any win on the road is often a bit of a bonus

    Everyone on the board in the tipping comp! Now, that's a first! No real surprises in the games this morning although the Bengals & Falcons losing were minor upsets Rams @ Lions & Jets @ 49ers are the games that many are looking forward to

    7Mate Games ... 3.00am Titans @ Bears 6.25am Washington @ Tampa Followed by the Armchair Experts with Ben Graham (9.30am)
  10. Tigers & Cats both had extensive reviews* and success followed soon after. Actually, the following year (2006/2007 & 2016/2017) At the time, both Thompson & Hardwick were under a lot of pressure but were kept on *Geelong's was an external review as was Richmond's

    NFL Picks Week 1 (lighthearted - one Hour duration) And don't forget your tips @DemonDave , @DeeSpencer , @Gorgoroth , @Clintosaurus , @Dappa Dan
  12. Sydney Showgrounds Stadium (ENGIE Stadium) What's ENGIE? (rhetorical question as I really don't care) Capacity 23,500 Which begs the question, isn't there an obsession with maximising crowds? And doesn't Cat Park (Kardinia Park) hold 40,000?

    @Gorgoroth What's the go with the Rams? The bookies have got them as long shots to be the Super Bowl winner (35-1) Yet the Rams are roundabout even money to make the Playoffs (5-4)

    I didn't have high expectations this season mainly because I reckon Love needs more time to improve. 4-10 weeks out with the small amount of info available The back-up 'Malik Willis' was formerly the QB at the Titans and only arrived 2 weeks ago so he's got it all before him

    Apparently Love was walking unassisted so might be ligament damage only. But that can be 6-8 weeks if it's major damage. Worse case scenario is a leg break near the ankle but I'm not sure he could walk around at all if it was that bad Eagles too good even though the scores were close. It felt like they were in control of the game for the most part with the difference being Barkley?

    Ravens @ Chiefs (15 minute highlights)
  19. Sure but JHF was one of their best player last night in my view But did one Port player beat his opposite number? They are a Jekyll & Hyde team so if Port are allowed to play on their own terms, they'll beat the Dogs or Hawks But it is a big if
  20. Yep but I thought JHF at least gave it his all. His teammates were AWOL He's an easy head to kick but he wasn't the problem

    It truly is a game of inches. Only audio my end, but maybe just one inch in it!! Ravens have got a tough 4 weeks coming too so Jackson missing Flowers could turn out to be costly
  23. Is that the worst choke in a QF by a team that has finished 2nd on the ladder? On their home ground as well They didn't want to know about it but the other Port might turn up next week Hinkley will cop his fair share of the blame but what about his players? 2nd to the ball all night and they refused to play in front

    8 starters in the tipping comp (so far) but there are sure to be at least a few more Remembering that we're now awarding 1 point for getting 2 out 3 correct. So, we may well get a number of weeks where many participants receive at least 1 point Picking 3 from 3 will still remain a difficult assignment so the bonus point will come into play on occasions Bonus rounds are weeks 5, 9, 13, 17 & 18 In those weeks we all play for 6 points (with a bonus point on offer) Can't wait for the games to start to be honest Not sure I'm going to enjoy watching the AFL Finals with the Demon's absence

    For those without cable SBS HD are broadcasting 2 World Cup qualifiers this weekend (live) Friday 9.50am Argentina vs Chile Saturday 10.50am Brazil vs Ecuador These games are always played in front of full stadiums, full of atmosphere and lots of noise Argentina currently top the table (10 teams) but Brazil are surprisingly in 6th position Although, to be fair, only 6 matches have been played out of the 18 to be played (each team)
