Great call, try to aim it in instead of pitch and catch.

Can’t beliebe strev misssd harris like that. 

Nobody more upset than Streveler. Still lots of time. 

Can't believe I thought that was nichols

That’s not a penalty. Another bad call.

That looks like a nervous crowd. Right where we want em boys

and gals. it is 2018 after all

Calgary is out of challenges, right?

Wait, yes I remember now. Dickenson had a hissy fit. Sorry

Defence is stepping up, let’s pray for an offensive miracle.

we need a deep shot in a bust in coverage. 

Hand off to harris, 4 yards, 5 yard curl that nichols misses isn't going to cut it

I'd settle for a competent drive capped by a Streveler plunge at the goal line.

brutal. this is going to cost us

Hate that call

Everyone in the stadium knows it's coming. 

Running Harris into a wall on short downs is not a good plan. Maybe we can realize that sometime. 

Lapo's play calling has had the imagination of mashed potatoes.

2nd and 2 should be Streveler and a load of tight ends.  Why go away from what works so well?

'Footsteps'

Lots of drops tonight.

I know I'm being hard on Loffler but he's consistently too late to the game.

Nichols getting flushed out of the pocket way too easy. First hint of pressure he bails. 

Richie Hall has earned himself an extension if he wants it. 

Honestly unreal performance by him. 

Who would have saw that coming two years ago?

Must remind Harris of Wallyball

The season when we set the record for turnovers?

The inconsistency of the offense has always been the difference between us and Edmonton and Calgary.

Embarrassing performance on O today. 

Can't give up a TD here. Just can't.
