Yeah no worries 'DD' , it's quite easy to do and it helps me as well - I quite often come back to this thread to check the games (there's always an ulterior motive!) . I know the post is a little colourful and a tad bright but I just have to add an element of 'Demon' in there ! I'm with you totally on the sequence of games to watch - 3 rip snorters ! We've had just about everyone on this thread covered with regards to the TV games in week 12 . Nine games in all . And the Vikes are on again - 'cfh' will be well pleased . Even more so if Minnesota can knock off the Bears . Rivalry within the division can create the odd dilemma . I was hoping that Detroit beat Houston last Thursday just so they don't 'Give up' on their season ! The Lions play Chicago in week 17 . The 49ers possible QB switch is really intriguing . What is Harbaugh up to ? -
With Patto not being able to bowl we do need an extra 80 on top of an 'out of reach' target . The track is wearing and if Siddle and Hilfo can maintain a good line and length, we should have enough right now . Obviously Lyon is the one that people think holds the key but so often it's one of the quicks that gets a bag in the 4th innings . 4 or 5 reasonably priced wickets from Siddle or Hilfo and it's ????

You have had a very good off season ! Our division is gonna be a bun fight . Only hope the Red Sox get their mojo back

Just heard that all games through Dec 14 have been wiped . And the All-Star game has been cancelled outright . Do those involved even consider the fans ? Are we gonna have any games at all ? Here's the latest from the Huffington Post

You're right . Before the new rule where they now check every scoring play, coaches had to throw a flag in order to challenge the initial ruling . Old habits die hard of course and the League should have taken that into account . It seems the NFL commission cop it much like the AFL cop it here . A bit too much officiousness seems to be the common denominator ! Anyway , here's the TV games for Monday and Tuesday ... some absolutely vital games for quite a few teams ... you can click on any team for further news, information and schedule's ... MON, NOV 26 5.00 AM Minnesota (6-4) at Chicago (7-3) Fox3 5.00 AM Seattle (6-4) at Miami (4-6) OneHD 8.05 AM St. Louis (3-6-1) at Arizona (4-6) Fox3 8.25 AM San Francisco (7-2-1) at New Orleans (5-5) OneHD 12.20 PM Green Bay (7-3) at NY Giants (6-4) OneHD & ESPN TUE, NOV 27 12.30 PM Carolina (2-8) at Philadelphia (3-7) ESPN For all the other games you can visit this site ... Week 12 games

Yep, it's game on . We were 0/77 at one stage and seemingly cruising . 13 wickets have fallen today for 282 runs so if we can set them a target of 330+ it will hopefully be enough .

His form is quite stunning . At the top of his game and his captaincy is imaginative and forthright . If ever there was an example of responsibility bringing out the best in a sportsperson it's 'Pup' . In terms of changing the fortunes of our Test side , he's been a revelation . We should win this Test now and by doing so have a real chance of regaining the no.1 status . We've come a long way in just over 12 months . Edit : Looks like Pattinson might have a side strain and may not be able to bowl again in this match . Would be highly unlikely for Perth if true . This story seems to confirm it .

That TD given to Houston was just plain stupid . In such an analysed game with everything being dissected to the 'Nth' degree it's hard to believe that a flag thrown by a coach can change the result of a TD ruling . Of course, they'll change the rule sooner or later but it's still baffling . Imagine if that was the last play of a Super Bowl ? There would be rioting in the streets ! The Pats go marching on and the Jets are a complete circus . Dallas fall miles behind again and then play catch-up . RG3 is great to watch isn't he ? - huge future . The Redskins are 1 game back from the Giants . Could they win the division ? Their next game is against the Giants (MNF Dec 3) . A season definer ! I'll post the TV games for Monday and Tuesday later on ...

How is the pitch playing ? A road ?

It's starting to heat up with regards to the playoff picture - especially in the NFC where up to 10 teams have a realistic chance of grabbing a spot. In the AFC it seems a bit more clear cut with only 7 teams vying for 6 spots at the moment (that may change if one or 2 of the 4/6 teams get on a roll) . The playoff standings can be found here

Yeah , lucky to get outa that one though that last touchdown was a beauty . Detroit just don't know how to get the job done . Difficult to know what will happen to Crosby . McCarthy looked like he gave him a serve on the sidelines but maybe that was just the perception . The kicker seems to cop it a bit in this sport ... here's Adam Sandler's take on it ...

Best team - there's not a standout for mine . Early on I thought the 49ers , then the Giants or Houston (until that poor effort vs the Packers) . Any number of teams can win the whole thing . Maybe Houston if I had to pick one . Denver are the one to watch and Atlanta could end up with the best record . It's very open . Worst team - Jacksonville then Cleveland Biggest surprise - probably Indi, especially if they make the playoffs . Denver and Seattle have done better than I thought as well . There's been a few surprise disappointments including the Eagles , Carolina and KC . N.B - For those of you with ESPN , an excellent '30 for 30' doco called 'Broke' is on Sunday evening at 9pm . Well worth a look even if you have to source it . 'Youtube' have still got it up .

Certainly a few upsets - what's happened to Eli and the Giants ? Is it a delayed hangover ? 9 wins could end up winning that division - maybe 8 ! Dallas will probably shoot themselves in the foot though - I can see a couple of 'Weird' losses happening to them . The Saints are back with a bit of a show and Seattle are looming large . Tampa and Indi keep winning and Denver could end up with a high seed the way they're travelling . As for the NFC North - it'll probably go down to the wire as many are predicting . Those two Packers / Vikings games will probably hold the key . Bit worried about 'AP' . Who's gonna stop him ? The man is on fire ! Bit odd seeing a tie . Suppose for the 49ers , the tie creates a degree of separation with other playoff contenders - unless there's another tie or 2 ! And how do you figure out the Titans ? A punters nightmare that team ...

Needless to say , 'cfh' and myself will be hoping for a Texans win ! However , with the improved form of the Colts , Houston won't want to drop too many games .

Colts get 4 more wins and they make the playoffs you'd reckon . Here's their schedule ... Indianapolis . Interesting that they play the Texans in 2 of their last 3 games . Houston may well have gotten themselves into a position where they can rest players in Week 17 (when they're at Indi !) . Watched a bit of the Saints/Eagles game . Yeah Vick was under enormous pressure . Brees was fairly well protected and ended the night with a QB rating of 128.2 with 2 TD's . SNF should be a beauty this week with Houston at Chicago .
