What is with attendance in Edmonton? Is there 25,000 there at Commonwealth?

The rules these days are all effed up. A receiver or running back can get a helmet shot with no penalty & at times they are just as vulnerable as a qb. That RTP on Willis was bogus. No intent to injure. Willis didn't lead with his helmet. Clean hit but a cheap penalty. Then there's the PI rules, incidental contact & coaches challenges. To me, the rule changes the last 3 seasons have really messed up the game.

Esks RB Shakir Bell & the lions DB hit helmet to helmet. No penalty... I guess DB or RB brains getting scrambled is no issue to the CFL. Maybe I'm off base here but there shouldn't be 2 sets of rules for qbs & everyone else.

they need to figure out a way to allow incidental contact to the head (as long as the defender is not leading with the head) to remove penalties like that one or the dumb helmet slaps 

Is Sinkfield even playing?

Jeez Reilly. What a hit

The guy has already a couple of serious injuries. He plays too hard. Not smart. Leaves himself wide frigging open to injury.

Jury's out... i think he'll make better decisions but he cost the Lions 2 wins. Tonight & earlier this season vs the Stamps with 2 picks late in the game. Qbs who don't learn don't last long.

Bombers move into sole possession of 2nd place in the West with a victory in Calgary tomorrow!

Great game for Edmonton. BC played a great 1st quarter. Edmonton played 3 good quarters. Bell had a huge night. BC just couldn't stop him even when they knew he was going to run the ball. Made BC look more beatable than I thought they'd be.

Wally is back to squinting on the sidelines....says..'hey wah happened we had them'.... Youthful gunslinger Jennings is going to cost the leos a few...that was one of them...We have them back to back coming up....Going to be some tuff competition..

You're talking about the QB with the most game-winning drives in the CFL this season.  Can't expect the kid to carry his team to victory every single week.

now that the Lions lose to a below .500 team, are we going to discuss if the Lions are 'For Real'?

They are and will be inconsistent, at least for this season. The type of experience Jennings needs isn't going to be found outside of live-fire games. But they do look to be beatable, especially to a ball-hawking defense like the Bombers. Jennings' inexperience leads him into trying to force the ball.

You don't make questionable throws under duress when your team has the lead late in the game which is what he's done.

Honestly... neither BC or Edmonton worry me at all.
