Two attempted pass plays on second and 2, both result in punts. That should be Andrew Harris territory.

I love Travis Lulay, but I believe he is still trying a bit too hard. Just missing a bit.

Mitchell major foul :thdn:

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.

Weak tackling extends the drive :thdn:

Khalif throws the runner backward, dunno about that penalty. Based on reputation I would say.

Secondary tackling still an issue.

Seems Mike hasn't completely controlled this team, they are doing a lot of dumb things that normally we never did under Wally too often.

We'd be getting slaughtered by our penalties if Calgary wasn't taking stupid penalties as well. Thank goodness for that.

Will we just drive from the 35 after this Cgy FG?

We picked up an additional yard by having the Stamps kick off
