Re: Should Willis be Suspended
Willis is not a headhunter. I have watched him play for years and saw a player who plays hard, whose motor is always running - but not a player out to intentionally injure someone. He plays full out at a game that is as Madden said not a contact sport but rather a collision sport. Injuries are bound...

Re: Leos vs. Riders in Regina / Game Day Thread
Personally, I don't care what other teams do to help or hinder us in the standings. The BC Lions have no control over those games. The game we have some control over the outcome is the game in Sask today. Let's focus on this game. As I have said over the last number of games, they had better be read...

Re: Lions 42 - Eskimos 32, Post-Game Stats and Comments
A few comments on the win against Edmonton: First, I believe if there was one play that won the game for us it was Rainey’s return for a touchdown. At the time the score was 12-0 and we looked flat. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we couldn’t afford to have a slow start as we did in Hamilton: we ...

Re: Leos at Home to Edmonton - A Huge Game
Keys to beating Edmonton. Show up to play - none of that behavior from that Hamilton debacle. In our last 5 wins we have not allowed our opponent to score in the first quarter, in that Hamilton loss we were down 20-0 after the first 15 minutes. Offense? I don't really care who starts at QB - I belie...

Re: Leos at Home to Edmonton - A Huge Game
"Bringing in Reinbold with all his creativity and then refusing to let him use it is very wasteful and doomed." Dusty, I couldn't agree more. When I heard of the Reinbold hiring I was over the moon - what he could accomplish with our return team and our returner Rainey had me dreaming of S...

Re: Lions 26 - Stampeders 21, Post-Game Stats and Comments
Speaking of the offensive guard position - what is going to happen with Vaillancourt? He has been on the six-game list all year. I thought when they drafted him that he was a starter out of the box and yet they stayed with Fabien and only slipped Vaillancourt in the line-up to cover injuries. I like...

Re: Are Jeremiah Johnson and Chris Rainey on the way out?
If we lose these two exemplary players, they will quickly be picked up by other teams and come back to beat us. Rainey can cut on a dime and give you 9 cents change - he should be allowed to do his thing because Wally's thing is just not working. Same with jj24. What a spirit - I would want him on m...

Re: Lions aquire Tyrell Sutton from Als
I think the Leos are in good shape with Nationals. Yes, Lumbala and Watson are in the 'twilights' of their careers; however, I believe Mackie and Parker to be more than adequate replacements: both are better receivers - did you see that catch by Mackie last game! I believe that our O-line free agent...

Overtime!!! What a finish. Now if we can do two things we should win. First - no penalties. Second - don't bite on a stop and go.

Re: Lions 32 - Alouettes 14, Post-Game Stats and Comments
Blitz, one of the reasons why the RPO can be effective in the US game is the additional down. In RPO, the throws and runs are usually short - it is best used in that speed offense of Kelly's when he was at Oregon - or watch TCU - a series of extremely fast, short plays with the QB doing the read pos...

Re: Will Chris Rainey Be Traded Before the Deadline
Rainey is one of my favorite players - he is the type of player who gets you out of your seat. When he makes that first guy miss, all of a sudden 20,000 people get out of their seats. Those fans who were headed for the beer taps, turn around and rush back to see what he has done. He is as dynamic a ...

Derek Taylor and Stats
There was some mention of Taylor and stats in another thread that I now can't find. Just wanted to say, I appreciate his stats - they provide interesting insights. For example look at his latest stat analysis on the most feared player in the CFL. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/details-with-derek-taylo...

Re: Games of Week 12 August 31-September 3, 2018
I agree Gridiron Ernie. if a player continues to take headshots that have been proven to cause concussions leading to ending careers and complications further on in a player's life then that player should be told to find another league that will accept such assaults on the playing field - that the C...
