poor Marco, that was one of the uglier post shot to the head reactions I've seen in a while

Boo birds sending a message to the Tabbies. Music to the Lions' ears. Now let's hear what the panel has to say about Webb on Ian.
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.

Amazing 1st half by Travis and the Leos.
Did McCallum injure himself in warm-ups? He's been punting and kicking like crap and looked like he wanted no part of a long field goal at the end.

Panel outraged over the Tabbie hit on Iannuzzi. Calling for fines and suspensions but these idiots gave a pass on the head shot to Pierce. Oh right. The Dunigan gang - he is not there now - are all Argo lovers and have lost perspective.
My comments pre-game were which Henry was playing today still stands.

I suspect the reason Benevides chose not to try the field goal is that Chris Williams is back there to return the ball if McCallum misses.David wrote:

Exactly! The ref was looking right at the hit. I think it's a factor of the ref just not having the balls to make the harsh call in booting him from the game.
Re: Lions @ Tiger-Cats Game Day Thread Oct. 12
Ian in all likelihood will miss Edm next week and force us to dig deeper into our receiving depth. Will Paris Jackson start next week?

Burris is not playing badly. Keep the pressure on him.
