Lions @ Alouettes. Game Day Thread. Eastern Semi-Final
Moderator: Team Captains
Phillips' lack of discipline sustains the drive.
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.

Ryan Dinwiddle, Alouettes rookie Offensive Coordinator schooling Khari Jones.
And that penalty costs us more than 15yds. 15-3 Mtl.

Well, I can't say I am surprised. When they do something right, as often as not, they completely nullify the play with a foolish or undiscplined penalty. In this case it cost us 7, nullified a pick, sustained a drive for them. etc. It has been the story of the season and this game so far. That and Glenn's continued playoff ineptitude.

So the big question, do we see Lulay in the 2nd half. Glenn has shown very little this game.

Okay, Jones is gone, but why isn't Benevides shown the door as well. This is a crappy coached team, with too much talent to waste.
How can Glenn look like a starting rookie in his first game? No desire to watch this all over for 2015.
