With 40 seconds left, why punt it when the play clock is at 12 seconds? I knew as soon as they did that they would be giving up three befor the end of the half. Don't know who makes that call but whoever did needs to understand the clock better. Could have taken 10 more seconds off and left the half tied. Those little mistakes are infuriating.

:bang:
Rookie mistake by Leone.
What a huge mistake! Hopefully for the Lions, those three points won't be the difference in the game.

Be nice to see some holes for Harris. Shame on our organization for being forced to start 3 Ints in the O Line. Complete lack of development in the 12 Dorazio years. Many high draft picks with little to show for it.
Decent offensive stats overall, with 204 yards for the Lions and 207 for Ottawa.

Andrew Harris is still too tentative. He does not have the burst or the strength that he showed in the past. This is just his second live action since his ankle injury. I don't think he has recovered psychologically. I hope he can get back to where he was.

Ott DB outfights Collie for the ball = INT.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Lapo suggests this up tempo offense is somehow great to get the play in. In reality this method of signalling to all but the QB gives the DEF the edge (like in baseball - pick off the signals). Travis is great as he gets the snap off just second or two before a time count violation.

That should be a safety! Watch them now place it on the 3 yard line. CFL Command!

Wild snap over Burris's head. Officials rule Burris recovered at his own 1yd line but Tedford will challenge. This should be a safety touch as Burris pulled the ball into his body, in goal.

BC's first game. Relax, enjoy. New coaches need time too.

SAFETY but now that last shot -- I was not as sure. I thought it was S right off but the final shot... I was saying no...

Holding WTF .. nice run
