Tied game now. Niners are certainly capitalizing on the Lions’ errors.

You gotta take that kick in response to the 49ers kick to keep the lead at 17. That would effectively erase the nice drive the 49ers had just had to start the half, which would be demoralizing. Getting stopped there energized the 49ers.

This game went to shit when Campbell went for it on 4th and 2. Huge momentum swing.

OK it’s a one- quarter game. Let’s go lions!

Are any other Canadian viewers getting tired of commercial breaks that are nothing but promos for upcoming CTV shows, ads for Crave streaming, and the Expedia woman in the wheelchair and her dog finding a vacation spot?

CTV needs to get its sales staff working. I’m not a big fan of commercials, but honestly, I’m at the point where I can accurately predict what’s going to be shown during a commercial break, and in what order.

Can’t be worse than that Mayhem asshole.

At least CBS is playing snippets of stuff like She Sells Sanctuary and Under the Milky Way before cutting to commercial.

Niners take the lead on a field goal!

Commercials:

Bell’s “cable speed” ad  
Lexus TX car  
Subway sandwiches/bowls  
TD financial planning  
Crave streaming

Hey, maybe someone at CTV/TSN is watching this message board!

Some times you have to consider if it’s better to play Small Ball to stay ahead that to try and put it away for good.

Is it me or have the Lions not noticed they have **not** been making the big long bombs?

I’ve noticed, but I don’t think the Lions have.

And a beer commercial! During a sports broadcast! Will wonders never cease?

(Well, if Coors Light can be considered beer …)
