The Lions have been in scoring position on all three drives. Their mistakes have cost them points but Jennings has shown he can move the ball against the Rich Stubler defence.

2PCA fails from the 8YL, remains 7-6 Tor.
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.

Agree. Frustrating :bang: :bang:

Not sure why you wouldn't want to play it safe in that instance and tie the ball game. Especially after taking a penalty (time count).

How stupid can you get ..than a time count violation on a 2 point convert attempt...and then not kick it when you get a penalty. Sometimes Wally drives me nuts in games. He is in a different dimension.

Not a great first quarter by any means!

Nothing is safe with Leone. I'd go for 2 on every TD. If you make half of them (which the Lions have this year), it's like kicking 100%. If you make the league average of 60%, you come out ahead. (Sorry for sounding like a broken record on this topic.)

Leone has been purrfect on conversions this year. Unlike last year where it was an adventure

Lions should get good field position after the Argo punt

.... but go 2 & out and score a rouge on the ensuing Leone punt to tie 7-7.

Couple drops including a big one by Manny but Jennings just 62 yards passing in 1st half. Advantage Stubler. Nothing has come easy. No quick strikes.
