The only thing is we may have lost Pierce because of his rustinessNo Ordinary Joe wrote:I think now that Murph has some game action under his belt he'll be better in the 2nd half. I think part of the reason for playing him tonight is that if he didn't play and then has to leave to be with his wife, we could be looking at a Rob Murphy in mid-July who hasn't had any kind of action at all. I'll take a few missteps in Game 1, then having him come in completely cold in Game 4.
I thought I was being tough on the Lions :lol: There were a few good years in there 1985, 1994, 2000Leo_on_Rideau wrote:Ineffective tackling, paper-thin offensive line... I remember these Lions! The 1954-2003 variety!
It was really just an inevitability that Buck would be injured with the way the Stamps were crossing scrimmage with impunity. Then Jarious looks cold as ice when he gets in.
Nice to get the late-half strike, but, man, was that a sorry display apart from that.
I thought it was dirty too when I first saw it. But, I'll need to see it again. I didn't get a good enough look at it.Larry Key wrote:That shot to Clermont's head by Browner was almost dirty.

I don't understand the 59 yrd field goal attempt as that could have easily been brought out for a TD. Looks like missing camp has affected Murphy as you need to have some kind of contact before starting the season. He is obviously one of the best but to come in cold is pretty tough. The defence has really got to get together, this is a veteran group that should be playing much better.
It wasn't a full H to H hit, it was a glancing blow. Watch JC wince. Browner is a big boy playing the corner, 6'-4, 220 pounds.No Ordinary Joe wrote:I thought it was dirty too when I first saw it.

Murphy's head clearly isnt' in the game. I know he's an expecting father, and I'll be among the first to congratulate him when his wife gives birth, but his inattention to detail may have cost Buck Pierce a good part of this season.
I'm glad the D finally woke up. I've been cursing my TV all first half.
