Obviously I'm still really down about this game, but I can imagine the TD was good for Rourke's confidence. We really needed the positive.

Plus at least this game won't be as bad as a shutout anymore.

Field goal for Yamasaki! It was a tight one, but in.

First Japanese-born player to score a point in the CFL, too.

Rourke is the rawest of rookies. 1st pro game, no preseason. From Victoria!

Hopefully this trial by fire makes him stronger and doesn't destroy him.

Reilly's throwing wobbly balls and looks like he's in pain.

Not the right call bringing him in. They should let Rourke see more play tonight.

Get Reilly out of the game before he really gets hurt!

In my uneducated medical opinion the problem Reilly is displaying is inability to grip the ball properly. I don't think the injury, whatever it is, is hampering arm strength. I don't think he can grip it tightly enough to spin it into a spiral. The weakest of arms can throw a spiral. The strongest of arms can't throw a tight spiral if they can't grip it right. Has me thinking there's a tendon type issue.

Hambone, you are more than likely right. I believe they said on the pre-game show that Reilly had tendinitis in his elbow.

Grip is definitely and issue. If you have ever had Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow, one of the symptoms is pain when holding or gripping anything. Makes it hard to hold onto the ball.

How can a team concede a safety and GAIN points?
