Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

Man Bomber fans are so cocky. Just reading some posts from their forum and they seem to think Saturday will be a cake walk for them. Would really like the see the Lions kick the Bombers in the teeth. I don't know about the players, but the fans, after all those banjo bowls don't really have teeth. ...

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

The Lions should "spy" Bighill by having a blocker on him on almost every play.

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

I would like to see Lucky Whitehead inserted into the starting lineup and have McInnis as the 6th (backup) receiver. The big body, long arms, that McInnis brings is already provided by Cottoy at a very high level. Lucky's speed could be a bigger factor vs having two big bodied guys out there. And Mi...

Re: WSF: Lions vs. Stamps

Nice to see Adams not holding on to the ball like he often does. Quick reads and accurate passes for the most part were very Rourke like. Combine the aforementioned with Adams using his legs and it was a career performance. Still no running game was not a surprise but screen passes to Mizzell and ch...

Re: Lions vs Calgary West Semi - Keys to the Game

BC RUN GAME: Great insights Blitz on the offense, etc. Not to quarrel with Blitz's perspectives other than to suggest how tough it must be for BC's O-line given lack of running play calls which gives the edge to the DEF before the snap of the ball. BETTS ON TSN In-depth with Mathieu Betts and featu...

Re: Lions vs Calgary West Semi - Keys to the Game

Is there a correlation between our "all-black" uniforms and the number of penalties we take? It may sound like an old wives' tale but there have been numerous studies conducted which suggest here that teams wearing black uniforms DO get penalized more often. It's the colour of aggression ...

Re: Lions vs Calgary West Semi - Keys to the Game

You can't just flick a switch and become something that you haven't been all season. So I don't see the Lions do very well stopping the run...just like all season. And I don't see the Lions suddenly finding a running game on O.

The above doesn't give me confidence that the Lions will win this game.

Re: Teuhema Suspended for One Game

Given how the game was going, with Teuhema throwing a punch, I am disappointed that he didn't get ejected right away in that game with fine to come later but no suspension.

Re: Lions Late Season Woes: Coaches vs Players

I don't know if Campbell does it but one of Wally's policies that I very much liked was if a player took an after the whistle penalty, that player got fined and the $ going to Wally's favourite charity. And this would be irrespective of whatever penalty might have been imposed by the CFL.

Re: Anybody buy this year's replica jerseys?

I very much like the nostalgic look of the fog grey and do plan on getting my first jersey in a while. Problem is the three players I would consider: Betts, Hatcher & Cottoy are all pending FAs. Hoping at least one extends in December for the Xmas wish list. The Lions better extend all three of...

Re: WSF: Lions vs. Stamps

Lions need to spend the time off developing/practicing some new plays that have nor been used or seen by other teams this season.

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

OK, here is the statistical silver lining: If the Lions had won tonight that would have meant that they beat the Stamps 3 times this season and then if they meet in the playoffs (likely) they would need to go 4-0 against the Stamps this season; highly unlikely. So now with this ultra embarrassing lo...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

Lack of a run game, inability to stop the run, unreliable short yardage game means the Lions will be going nowhere in the playoffs. The Lions letting James Butler go in free agency with no adequate replacement represents Campbell's worst decision as Lions HC. Butler was the 2nd leading rusher in the...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

I would like to see Adams start, just to test his knee, but have Evans take most of the snaps.
