lumbula missed a block that didn't help but that was sooooo predictable where the run was to go.

Gamble there would have been what most modern coaches would have done.

Wally down by 25 apparently need a FG over a TD. PLAY TO WIN WALLY, PLAY TO WIN.

Players want to go for it. We play it safe.

Players look with disgust to the sideline, says the announcer.
John Madden's Team Policies: Be on time. Pay attention. Play like hell on game day.

Jimmy Johnson's Game Keys: Protect the ball. Make plays.

Walter Payton's Advice to Kids: Play hard. Play fair. Have fun.

Down 25-0 with a momentum drive and Wally plays it conservative and goes for the safe FG!!


Raise your hand if you think any other coach in the CFL West does that? Dickenson, Maas, Jones O'Shea??

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

A big play there would have shown confidence in the O versus putting their D right back on the field

Go big or go home - Forde reply to Rod Black ... spot on,

Talked about momentum just before a long pass that gives it to RBs

Either way it doesn't matter unless the d steps up big. If they do, maybe that 3pts will be important... Not getting the td would have been the dagger
