Re: CFL Week 5

Watching that game for 57 minutes, I felt sure that the Elks were going to do the Lions a favour. Then they folded like Superman on laundry day. Pinpoint passing by Harris, some impressive catches, the Elks start to tighten up and the Riders score a TD to make it 11-9. I would have blitzed on the 2-...

Re: Marketing 2023

The club has offered season ticket holders the opportunity to purchase tickets (any section) for Sunday's game vs Als for $10 each. If anyone would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please DM me. We just took advantage of the offer and are bringing two friends of ours. $20 for two tickets ...

Re: BC Place Seating Question for Lions/Als Game

Thanks, I appreciate your insight! We missed the season opener so we are going to make this one. Hey Ron. To B.C.FAN's point, you definitely want to be in the west end zone for shade. The east end zone will most certainly be sun-drenched on Sunday afternoon for at least part of the game. In case yo...

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

Lions success back east is hit and miss. I went back there in 2017 and watched them win back to back vs Toronto then Montreal. Had I looped back to Hamilton instead of carrying on to Quebec City I would have scored the trifecta as they beat the Ticats to go a purrfect 3-0 on their 3 game road trip....

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

You can't have a night that honors Damon Allen without a few Time Count Violations now, can you? :rotf: So true! Thank you for your insights, Cro. Great analysis. I would have thought Hollins's speed would make up for the loss of Lucky by taking the top off the defense. If he's not 'as fast,' he's ...

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

Great recap and questions here David. Remember those awful defeats at McGill Stadium during the Wally era? BMO seems be the new horror place for the Leos in recent years. And all those games we got hammered in the Hammer, Sammy? Even last year at McGill, we didn't play intense, mistake-free footbal...

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

* I could almost sense a pick coming when VA threw off his back foot. Almost every time it led to an INT. * Will be interesting to see what happens when Lucky is ready. Who goes out and who comes in? Speaking of Lucky, the elephant in the room appears to be his inability to stay healthy. Is this bei...

By my count Adams have thrown 8 interceptions in 4 games. Not a winning combination
The weird part is that he only threw 1 INT in 6 games last year when he was new to the team. Head scratcher. :dizzy:

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

Losing Broxton would be a serious blow. Argo pressure is relentless. That's a very talented, dynamic front 7. It highlights one of my few concerns with this football club; not enough Oline depth especially with Norman 6-gamed. If he can't go, I suppose Perkins slides over to protect Adams' blindside...

Re: Antonio Williams gone

I wonder if Williams was reluctant to go on the practice roster. Maybe asked for his release? Seemed like a good guy when I heard him interviewed. But NFL pedigree, I can't say I would be surprised if he did ask for his release. DH :cool: The mindset of "why sit on a CFL practice roster when I...

Re: Lions move business operations downtown

Doubt it’s van or bby. Land is too expensive. Those facilities go where land is cheap. I could see out in Langley (maybe at twu or by airport) or Abbotsford. I could see lions and Surrey just putting a roof over Tom Binnie as well and upgrading current facility. Burnaby and even Richmond had been r...

Re: Lions move business operations downtown

I wonder how long it will take for the club to announce a new practice compound. I am willing to bet this will be within 5 years, 6 max, that they will jump ship from Whalley to be either in Van or Bby. Something with an indoor component to bring those soggy late October through November practices i...

Re: CFL Week 3

There are, at this point, three legitimate teams in this league. Us, Winnipeg and Toronto. And Toronto looks good because the East is very, very bad. I would add Montreal to that list at #4, Cro. Some protection problems in Week One notwithstanding, I think they're going to battle the Argos for fir...

Re: CFL Week 3

National RB A.J. Ouellette was barely touched on any of his three touchdowns. The defending cup champs are legit with excellent depth and Kelly running the show. It should be terrific match-up next Monday in TO. This will indeed be a stiff test for our Leos next Monday. A battle of the two best def...
