A team that scores 13 points off turnovers SHOULD win.

When will the powers-that-be address our PK situation?
It is beyond ridiculous.

Getting into Duncan O'Mahony territory. He's not a natural PK anyway, plus rookies can hit the wall by this point of the season.

Chambers is OOB but two officials staring at him both miss it, both watching the ball and we have to challenge to get the call.

When there's two officials on the play like that don't they assign one guy to watch the feet and one to watch the ball?
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.

OTOH we've left 4pts on the field with MFG and 1PC fail.

Q3 ends on the successful challenge with BC leading 19-16.

For the ninth time this year, the Lions lead after three quarters.

Rainey tried to return the punt to open Q4 but perhaps lucky to get tackled in goal and give up the rouge rather than get pinned deep. Lions take the ball @35 leading 19-17.

Rainey lets too many kicks bounce. That single point, and Leone's missed convert, could be costly.

The Lions would help themselves if they just ran a simple QB sneak like everyone else in short yardage.

Hawkins with the catch and run over the middle scrambles for the 1D into FGR on 2nd & long.

Hawkins draws a PI in goal on the next play, 1st & goal @Edm01. Chris Jones challenges.

I hope they're able to review this during the tv timeout so we don't have to continue waiting when they come back.

Challenge denied, 1st & goal.

Ugh. Clumsy, clumsy, clumsy.
