you have to fancy the niners but Rodgers is one of the best in the business at getting rid of the ball quickly. I don't seehim getting caught to often. Matthews is a massive loss though.

hard to see that Tyrone team making much of an impression against donegal. I think its the right approach giving these guys a run but its a tough start for a group of players with limited experience of playing together. It .will be interesting to see how micky phases in the more experienced heads over the league campaign.

dont think Rodgers will care too much about the charge. I think the managers in general woudl be better served by saying nothing, especially when you look back over the various press confereences where they contradict themselves from one week to the next.
Its one thing sticking up for your players but when they take polar opposite positions on practically identical tackles/dives/decisions depending on whetehr its for or gainst them it means that anything they say is just viewed as hypocritical. Mourinho said after he left Chelsea'"I am no longer Chelsea coach, and I do not have to defend them any more, but I think it is correct if I say Drogba is a diver
Maybe the aim is to try and influence the ref for the next tight decision. Now I'm no referee, but if I were Lee Mason and the next Liverpool game there is a genuinely 50/50 call, I would be making the call against Liverpool just to "prove" that Rodgers comments had not influenced me.

One of the best weekednd of the year sport wise coming up with Wildcard weekend.
Usually throws up at least one shock and this year I can see San Diego turning over the Bengals. Dalton still has to prove it on nthe big stage and is prone to making mistakes that the elite QBs simply will not do. SD will be up for it and may think its their year after they somehow made it through last week!
New Orleans to beat Philly comfortably with Brees starring and Kansas to beat Indy in the battle of the #1 picks. Kansas will be well rested after last weekend and Smith simply looks after the ball to well. (Cue about 6 picks!).
The 49ers at the Pack is hard to call. On form it is the 49ers all day long,and I think they are the best overall team in the Conference but Seattle having Home field advantage is huge, they would be my pick to come out of the NFC but the Rodgers factor means you cannot write Greenbay off. Remember 2010!!
