No matter the flag for Cgy, Cornish carries it 16yds for the major on his biggest carry of the night. 35-21 Cgy after the Paredes convert.
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.

The play that really killed us was Philips not making the tackle on 2nd down.

do we have faith that the coaches can settle down the young qb and take it one play at a time but still give him decent plays....

I'm not it was n't harris again like last week messing up the fumble.... the back has to know the feel of the ball and hands... on that play. that's not a tough read for any back even in hs.

OK we may lose this game... I still have hope... but honestly at this point I thought it would be a blowout... In the second half seems all sides of BC have turned in better effort and I have hope and respect for these Lions again!

Calgary is a good football team. The turnaround since Jennings and Harris took the controls is remarkable... and gives me both hope and a reason to care.

Go Lions!

Yep. And let's not let Rainey's success mask our offensive inefficiencies tonight. Jennings has created some positive yards and some energy but only has that FG at the end of Q2 to show for it.

Maybe I spoke too soon just before that big Hawkins gainer nearing the red zone.

Or not. Another TO. Keon Raymond picks it off in goal.

And I always had faith in Hawkins! But that was a bad throw Jennings... But this is how we build!

That looked like pass inferference by Smith in the end zone on the pick.

Yell misses the pick opportunity.

No way this game should be close. More proof of why this Lions team sucks

get a hair cut and catch that wtf HOw can he get his head up with that long trailer...

maybe we need a phone call to WCB as that's a workplace hazard and impediment to a simple INT that the team might be able to use.

But errors on jennings part aside.. he should have had a lot more time early on as that was just plain ugly lion football and the fans won't pay for that.
