Q1 ends with Cgy up 6-0. We're still in it!
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.

Not bad for us. Expectations pretty low.

I'm blown away by the variety of play calling so far. Oh wrong team, that's Calgary.

Lions force a punt. Should have fairly good position.

Maver punting from his own goal after a 2 & out. Kicks it away. Rainey gets it to the Cgy38 but a penalty squanders the field position already in FG range. Backed up 14yds.
