all but over.

Why? Down by 15 points, two TD's with 30 minutes left to play>?

It's over. The Riders will make adjustments at he half while the Lions won't or can't.

It was good to see that we abandoned the running game, since it was working.

Have to agree with LFITQ....any touching of the facemask is a major. Sure it happens and doesn't get caught but a penalty is a penalty. One of many more the Lions will get tonight.

We'll have to agree to disagree, Anthony Reddick..that was a legit major, Hendreson..that is just football..imvho.

UGGHHH! At least there have been some positives but the mistakes overshadow. I think BYE week is going to live up to its name. Armstrong was not our worst reciever, IMO. Oh well, theres still another half.

We'll see, the Riders have the ball at the start of the second half, if we hold them, and score a TD on our posession..we can win.

Otherwise the little dutch boy at the dike has run out of fingers and toes and elbows..

Well the linemen did make a statement that they didn't want the ball in Robertson's hands when Valli took that screen pass away from him.

I know what you are saying and yeah it wasn't bad in any means but its a penalty. Really though, that play will make no difference in this game

That was frickin unreal. What the hell was Valli thinking?

Nice to see Davis rip off that 25-yard rush...Chaps should tie a string on his finger to remember to call it again.

The only string I like to see on Chap is around his neck

Of all of the things that have disappointed me this yr, I have to admit, Manny A's hands of butter is the largest.

What is this guy doing? Seriously?

He wasn't. The same problem too many other Lions players are having tonight.

Just following the Chap's orders I must assume.

"D" held...nice.

Leos ball at the Riders 50 yd line...step up or step out...we need a TD..not a FG..a TD.
