Rainey is a standout... Was critical of the decision to ditch Brown but he is pulling weight. Have a soft spot for Ianuzzi as a local boy but understand how this is his first start.

I don't understand how they can leave guys who make effort out and play those who didn't .

We've already used both our timeouts and our first challenge so we can't challenge anymore tonight.
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.

Wow, what a play by Jennings to avoid the rush and throw a strike to Burnham

not blaming 84 but he might have pushed his hands back over his head and the goal line as the break of the plane means td not takeaway

Manny right at the goal line, just outside goal on the catch, will be a TOD at Cgy1. That should end the comeback bid with 2:17 left.

Jennings has made some rookies mistakes today, but has also showed a lot of upside. I feel better about our future.

Expected this to be a loss by blowout... Been the most exciting Lions game all year. Looking forward to Edmonton instead of dreading it.

Cgy goes 2 & out and concedes the safety after Maver runs maximal time off the clock. 35-23 Cgy, 1:22 left. Cgy to kickoff.

I'll call it the most exciting loss. I'll take the home OT win vs Ssk in the home opener over this one based on the result.
