Blue In BC

Fletcher seemed to have a lower leg issue, possibly ankle but I think he returned. That may not have lasted as I noticed Schmekel on the field towards the end of the game. While he wasn't the only problem, allowing a drive resulting in a walk off FG was predictable.

We don't close games out well.
One game at a time

Injuries: Vaval and Nichols were on the field at the same time. T. Jones did come back but I'm not sure if Fletcher did.

Are you sure, what I saw was Williams moved to HB in place of Nichols while Vaval was playing his CB spot, Moxie remained on the other side.

Nichols was still playing, but I also saw that formation. Moved Williams to a SAM kind of role, I guess.
My wife is amazing!

Despite Brady's struggle to stay healthy the last few weeks he leads the league in rushing yards by 60 yds over Rankin, despite playing one less game.

Did we maybe bring in Vaval as exhaustion-relief after that horrific 90% EDM ToP 3rd Q?  It could be we just needed fresh legs.  I'm also still not convinced we didn't do it purposely as a wrinkle to screw up EDM's plans, and/or to replicate the old "Kelly as 2nd safety" sets.

With the ration flexibility, it's certainly doable.

However, I would admit, it really smells "anti-MOS".
Never go full Johnston!

Fletcher did come back. TSN is terrible for updates on injuries.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.
