Hitting into the water from fairway bunker on 16 for a 6 was the killer.

From a Tyrone standpoint,very fortunate to get away with a result and on the evidence of today's performance will need a good draw in the next round to progress any further.As has been said,Roscommon had enough chances in the last ten minutes of the game to get a draw at least and had they pushed a few more bodies forward earlier than when they did they could have won the game. First half was poor stuff with both sides packing the defence and despite Tyrone playing with the breeze,they played with a non-existent half forward line and seemed more intent on sniffing out Roscommon rather than taking the game to them and forcing the issue. Apart from a 15 minute period at the start of the second half Tyrone were toothless up front and Tyrones best forward was probably Ciaran McGinley playing as an extra defender. Defence fairly solid in general,best we're probably McMahon,Gormley and Harte seeming much more comfortable at 6.

Donegal much more efficient in attack.Inability to take scores when on top around the middle cost Tyrone.After the second goal Donegal shut up shop and Tyrone ran out of ideas going forward and Donegal took their scores on the well with more options up front.

Chip Kelly to the Eagles.

Fancy Green Bay and Atlanta in the NFC. Although I expect Denver and New England to win, I also think both games will be closer than most think and would take both to cover the 9.5 points.

Thought Lovie would have stayed, getting rid of Mike Tice may have been a better solution. Only one playoff appearance in the last six years, albeit with injuries to Cutler the last two years, ultimately cost him. Surprised to see Jim Schwartz still employed?
