Was me!

I set up my entry wrong. That is one I use in a pool vs. the spread that I have been in since 1988 - we faxed our picks in back then. I had another entry that was meant for straight up picks but somehow entered the wrong one into the kumb pool. So my picks were the same in the pool with the spread and one without. The difference in my results? None. Got 127 right in both!

good summation b-i-n

one thing and we were second best all day..

but


2nd and I think 1 - down 21-0 around the 5 yard line might have been 10...you know it's a 4 down territory..

called a run that came up well short ?

why not go for the end zone. make it and it's a td and closer game. don't and you still have 2 more downs.

the play calling overall isn't great though......

first time it's shown the crowd (that I have noticed) Ravens stadium is over half empty - down 13 with 4 minutes to play ...

And they were at midfield with 30 secs left with a long shot at at least tying the game.

Baltimore should have switched QB's. No reason not have given Flacco a go,

Ok well thanks mate for being the only other person who played the whole season :thup: Doing the spread was way harder than just picking the winner. I kind of liked it though as it makes you think more about the potential result.

Let me know if you do it again next season.

Will definitely set it up again. Hopefully we'll get some more participation next season.

As for the season at hand, there's great relief to see Dallas and Philly head for the exits. :thup:

A couple of marquee matchups left on the board. Two upstarts vs. two established powers. Rams and Saints, everyone will focus on the passing game whichever team can run the ball will win. Pats at Chiefs could be an epic weather game - an arctic blast is predicted, just in time for a kickoff at 19:30 local time. Fun! :raver:

Good stuff B-I-N.

I think if we can beat the Saints we will go on and win it. Big if though.

Rams showed toughness and steady nerves to stay in the game in the 1st half. Wouldn’t surprise me if they went on to win this in the 2nd half.

There was an incredible non call at the end of the 4th. Saints should have us first and goal. Still, Brees hasn’t been up to his standards, and Peyton’s play calling has been questionable throughout. Rams have played up hill against this crowd. They adjusted and I think they deserve to win. That e got a 57 yard fg attempt to get it done. We’ll see

and it's ...............................................................................................................gud....

truly awful call cost them the SuperBowl appearance........

where's VAR when you need it...

clear and obvious error........................................


couldn't have been clearer if you tried.........

didn't look back, ball wasn't within 5 yards of him when he hit the receiver.........

so do the league office apologise ?

to be fair, great kick and after a time out too - would have been good from 10 more yards I think.......

Wouldn’t have given them the win, but it probably would have extended their lead from 3. You never know. I do think the Rams were the better team.

wouldn't it have given them 1st and goal on or around the 5 or that ?

made it much harder to win then............would have put them ahead if they could have gotten a t.d.

or run the clock no, to almost 0:00 kick the field goal and won it ?? or did I get that all to cock as usual

That’s all correct. Still had to get the points though.

Pats are playing a couple of gears higher than KC so far.

Unlike a certain botched call on a FG gone awry back in 2003, eh Pete? :x
