Lions vs. Argos Game Day Thread
Moderator: Team Captains
Lirim H strokes the 44yd FG to restore the Argo lead 10-7 with 0:41 left in Q2.
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.

Wally asleep again. Use your timeout on 3rd down and give your offence an extra 20 seconds. Unreal.
This is looking a lot like the first meeting. Nothing open downfield.

Stupid playcalling. Letting Toronto run the clock out on their drive by not calling a time out before their field goal, and then with 7 seconds left calling a run? Poor clock management.
Roar you Lions roar!

I cringe whenever I see Jennings scrambling in the backfield. How many times has he fumbled or thrown an interception ?
The half ends with Tor leading 10-7.

Thanks Wally. No chance for FG with your horrible clock management. Timeout never used. Inexcusable.
Not a lot to like about that first half:
sketchy line play (again!)
dropped passes
inopportune penalties (again!)
poor clock management
soft coverages
and a bad punt (long but not well placed)

Wally has always been a terrible game manager...you would think he would be better with his experience... but its like the circuits have never connected and never will. Its Planet Pluto stuff....convert attempt after the penalty, time count violation, bad clock management at the end of the half.SammyGreene wrote:Thanks Wally.

Stubler has our offence figured out...over playing the deep intermediate and deep routes. Arseneaux's early drop, Jennings interception hurt.
Our pass blocking is horrible...Adcock is in slow motion out there. Allen has made a lot of his own holes and run hard.
Jennings is trying to do too much. Can't blame him but its still close. We need to throw short more...nickel and dime..that is what Stubler is giving us but our offence is not designed that way. Frustrating that we have no ability to game plan or adjust to a Stubler style defense. We should know how he plays us.
Dum to run the tailback screen and the hitch screen when we did. Should have used them earlier in the game. Didn't ..so should have waitied until the second half.
Ray will be better in the second half and he looked sharp enough in the first half.

47 yard field goal good. Game tied at 10
Leone connects from 47yds out to tie it once again, 10-10 after the first series of the second half.

A turnover by the D would make a world of difference in this game.
