Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
Never had a problem with Wally Buono as a manager of men. Creating a winning environment and culture. Always good at suspecting a player's "best before" date and staying one step ahead. Very few mistakes there. In-game managing was always a different issue. Lots of conservative blunders. R...

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
If I were the Elks, I would have turfed McAdoo and Jarious and hired Paul LaPolice as OC and QB coach.
I don't think much of Lapo as a head coach, but he is a very skilled OC.

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
I wouldn’t draw that conclusion. I would expect them to use Mizzell quite liberally this afternoon. They have a capable back-up in Mackie. What I would like to see is Terry Williams used more in certain receiving packages. He was one of our most effective pass catchers in training camp/preseason. DH...

JC Abbott weighs in with his always insightful thoughts on the game, including a good explanation of the multiple breakdowns on the offensive line. https://3downnation.com/2023/07/23/lions-hit-with-shrapnel-in-watermelon-smash-and-10-other-thoughts-on-beating-the-riders/ Might be time to give Kneve...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game
Lions finally reported yesterday's gate. 23,902. This has to be considered a disappointment given it's the Riders, the "we're now selling seats in the upper bowl" hype earlier in the week and all of the (comparatively) cheap tickets available. As B.C.FAN mentioned, football is a really tou...

Re: Lions vs. Riders July 22, 2023
I am a little concerned that 2 of the 3 home games this year have been duds. Over-officiated, under-executed clunkers (with the 2 biggest gates, too. Figures. :roll: ). This is not to take away from the defense of course, and that much-improved punt/kick cover units, but people (especially casuals a...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game
4:00pm is probably a blessing this weekend David. Doesn't the Festival of Light fireworks thing go tomorrow night? Yes, absolutely right Hambone. I recall in past years the Leos have gone head-to-head with the fireworks. And Molson Indy. Disaster. The Blue Jays at Mariners Saturday will likely cost...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game
Over 25,000 expected for tomorrow's game according to J.J. Adams in The Province. Is that good? I don't know anymore. If I am being honest, I would have expected something closer to 30,000 for the Riders, but realize it's a slow build from where we were in pre-Doman 2021. What we don't know is how a...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game
Similar to the last home game, the Lions are offering their season seat holders the opportunity to purchase up to 4 seats for $15 each. These are upper deck only (last home game was $10 and anywhere in the stadium, but still a great bargain and incentive for us to bring our friends). :thup: DH :cool:

Re: CFL Week 6
Irrespective of Montreal's performance against the Argos, which I thought was really solid going toe-to-toe with the Grey Cup Champs, I believe there are 3 tiers right now in the CFL Despite what Craig Dickenson (who always looks like he just wandered off the set of The Andy Griffith Show) opined th...

Re: Montreal vs. B.C. July 9, 2023
* Great bounce-back game from VA . Although he didn't face as much pressure as he did against the Argos, that is still a stout, athletic defensive line in Montreal that was in his face quite a lot (and 3 sacks). His decision-making under pressure was far sounder this week - 80% completion rate (glad...

Uniform Preference
On Sunday, the Leos took the field wearing their 'away' pants with their home black jerseys (likely because it was a hot sunny day and all-black uniforms would have made the players really hot, just my guess). What is your favourite look this year? The monochrome blacks (home), black jerseys with gr...

Re: Montreal vs. B.C. July 9, 2023
Yes, I see that they've corrected the attendance figure. On this site (link below) earlier, they had posted 15,565. They've now corrected that to 20,106. Still quite a drop from the first home game. https://stats.cfldb.ca/league/cfl/schedule/2023/07/09/mtl-at-bc/ I was even mildly surprised when it...
