Wow! McHenry returns the favour with a fumble at the 1 yard line on the final play of the half. The Stamps are still clinging to life.

Riders should send the Lions a big thank you. Rich Stubler for not making adjustments thus allowing the Riders to win and the Lions knocking out Calgary's two starting defensive tackles.

Ok...it's bad enough watching a WDF without the Lions, but do they have to keep torturing me with that annoying Wendy's ad? That's just cruel.

Calgary failed to put a credible patchwork D on the field after 2 weeks of preparation, and the absence of Marquay McDaniel (and Nik Lewis, also courtesy of the Lions in August) is costing them big-time.

If that goal-line fumble hadn't happened, this game would be over. I still don't think the Stamps can come back, might as well put Tate in there.

It's as if the Stamps have never played in the cold before.

The Stamps fumble it away on the first drive of the second half. They don't deserve to win, no matter what happens the rest of the way.

And they just had a chance to pick one off but Fraser dropped it. Lucky the ensuing FG was blocked.
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.

No yards called on a blocked kick?

If it crosses the line of scrimmage, it's not considered a blocked kick.

I think they treat it like a punt once it crosses LOS.

Nice block by Tate on that Cornish gallop.
