What absolute crap....chinzy call on Wilson..who was being held. We had the Riders shut down twice on the drive...and we had won the game on downs...I expected a penalty of some sort against us.....
What poise out of the pocket by DeMarco....and bullet throws..

What a comeback by our Leos and DeMarco was so cool in that situation...impressive....

Impressive debut by the little General out there in a very hostile environment.

It wasn't pretty but a W.
Make the 3 easy INTs and this game might have been very different.
Not sure of the call on Wilson.... Looked dodgy much like the call against the Stamps to cause them to lose.
Demarco was fine when it counted but maybe a second half sit out and watch a few plays might have fired him up sooner.
Marsh picked a bad time to not make a decent tackle as he usually does.
Good knockdowns by the front guys today.
Not sure why the Lions can't use Harris better. Cornish would look bad in a BC uniform if he got Harris touches.

I think the problem the officials had with the Wilson penalty was that the contact was high up around the head.Toppy Vann wrote:Not sure of the call on Wilson.... Looked dodgy much like the call against the Stamps to cause them to lose.
You're as old as you've ever been and as young as you're ever going to be.
Interestingly, the Washington Redskins of that other league, appeared to score a touchdown much like the Garrett td and it was disallowed.Hambone wrote:Not really sure how that works on a coffin corner type play.

The Garrett TD play was explained by the TSN crew: The ball was caught on the field of play and as soon as the ball broke the plain of the goal line the play is over so in this case there is no "surviving contact with the ground".agent2 wrote:Interestingly, the Washington Redskins of that other league, appeared to score a touchdown much like the Garrett td and it was disallowed.Hambone wrote:Not really sure how that works on a coffin corner type play.

Which is notable because on most plays they're only one yard offside.Lion Guy wrote:AND, the Rider slot was 2 yards offside on that same play!Spud387 wrote:Wow, what a finish. Almost lost because of a ridiculous rouging the passer.
Good job Demarco

True, but it makes the league look amateur. The Commissioner should be on top of the officials about this. Reflects poorly.TheLionKing wrote:Belize City Lion wrote:is it just me or is a SK receiver offside on nearly every play?
It's been like that since the days of Ray Elgaard
