London's catch was rather impressive, but the concentration required by Chris to tip that ball to himself through the defenders arms, spin around and run backwards in order to grab the ball was amazing.
Now where else have I seen that running backwards after catching the ball? Oh right, "the non-catch".
You didn’t appreciate William’s move being described as a triple axle, double Salchow combination? But he nailed the landing this time, and he did have rather impressive footwork.
I wonder if this is the result of a random selection or a deliberate decision to eliminate the chance of the final competition being between two plays from the same team.
Today, Thiggy is up against Larry Taylor, both for touchdowns off missed field goals. Tough choice, as they are very similar plays. The only thing that puts Thiggy ahead in my opinion is that he had tougher coverage to break through. Once Taylor beat the first guy, he then only had to beat McCallum. Thiggy, on the other hand, had to beat the first wave to the corner, and then had to cut right through the second wave. No idea how he did that.
The other way to look at it is that we’re guaranteed to get at least one of our plays into the semi-finals. And the Bombers could actually get shut out.
Better that than, "There's not enough water/beer/scotch/whatever. Hasn't been in years. No point in even trying to fill the glass. We should just drain the reservoir/keg/cask/whatever and start over." Sound familiar?
No kidding, a tough choice. How did Pierce not see JJ coming at him? But I have to go with Williams on this one, as that catch was through the DB, while JJ had a clear path to Pierce.
