Re: Were you expecting more from Tedford?

Lots of unsubstantiated assumptions being made about Tedford, Cortez, and Wally and who is responsible for what. To me, the spread vs pro debate is also overblown. To my knowledge, spread formations are pretty widespread everywhere and offenses use elements from various approaches throughout a game....

Re: Were you expecting more from Tedford?

I ecpected the lions to be inconsistent out of the gate. Best case scenario for me was that they could stay in the playoff race and get things together by the end of the year to hopefully make things exciting in the playoffs. First part has come to fruition, still waiting on the next part. I do have...

Re: Ti-Cats 52 - Lions 22 Post Game Stats and Comments

We're probably drafting 1 or 2 overall. Baring drafting a project player again, we should get someone good I wouldn't bet on it even if we picked first . We passed on about 12 guys we should have picked before we picked our first choice at #5. Our first rounder was only rated a late second or third...

Re: Ti-Cats 52 - Lions 22 Post Game Stats and Comments

I was expecting a bit more innovation and excitement from Tedford and Cortez, but I think that overall the offensive schemes have been decent. Cortez is like Stubler, he can put together a solid game plan that will you the team a chance to succeed as long as the players execute. Problem is we have a...

Re: Ti-Cats 52 - Lions 22 Post Game Stats and Comments

I still have some hopes for this team with Tedford, and give props to Wally for cleaning house, or part of the house anyways, over the off season. But I really can't find anything positive about the defense. DBs can't cover. No pressure up front. Is it the players or the system? Does Washington dese...

Re: Lions at Ticats Aug. 15 - Game Day Thread

Would rather see Jennings in. Never been impressed by Beck.

Lulay does well at avoiding pressure and making smart decisions. Accuracy especially on longer throws is terrible. I really wanted him replaced in the 2nd half of the game, but not sure that either back up would have been able to pull off the victory as Lulay did.

Re: Bombers 23 - Lions 13, Blog, Post Game Stats and Comment

I'm as frustrated as anyone but how many fans expect anything than growing pains with a new coaching staff, huge turnover in player personnel. As frustrating as this has been (and it's only 5 games into the season) trust me when I say I've seen a lot worse. I can still remember the days when NFL cu...
