Must be demoralizing to have the Lions come right back to score a touchdown of their own.

Ham will be playing 3-down ball with this field position.
Ball control at it's finest.
I spoke too soon — they only managed 14yds on that drive lol.
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.

I thought the Tabbies scored would be a momentum changer but not with the run back and TD now.

Burris not helped by drops of very catchable footballs.

Is it time to give Reilly some reps?

Harris needs 12yds for the Cdn yards from scrimmage standard.

So when Reilly is in at QB,does DeMarco run the short yardage offence?

That might be the only he's going to see any real action this year.

You could put the Pope in against this demoralised Ham defence right now.

And yet the score is hugely flattering to Hamilton. The score should be more like 63-3.

That's as much emotion from the Tiger Cats I've seen all night.

Basically a TD every drive. That would work!
