Bad punt by Leone when we had a chance to pin the Eskimos deep....

Q1: run 0, run 0, run -1, run 8, pass 21, run 2, run -2

Q2: run -6, pass 24, pass 8, pass inc, pass inc, pass 7, run 1 (TD), pass 12, pass 28, pass inc

Q3: run 6, pass inc, pass inc, run 1, pass 15 (TD)

Q4: run 0, run 0

If my math is right:

run: 12car, 1yds, 1 TD
pass: 7comp, 12att, 115yds, 1 TD
Great breakdown. Decent balance of playcalling. Can't ignore the run, but have to find some holes.

Anyone else see an Edm TD+2PC plus a failed BC FG drive for the tie to wrap this one?
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.

Thrown in missed convert too. He has had some horrible misses last 2-3 games.

Everything falling apart, but still clinging to a lead.

Missed convert and MFG leaves 3pts on the field.

Ok, so we're 2/3rds of the way through this movie. 26-23 Edm.
