Re: 2017 CFL Draft

There are a couple of BC guys in the top 10 rankings.

Re: Upcoming Free Agent Market

My wish list will probably look a lot different in Feburary, so lets just call this my Christmas wish list. On offence I would like to see us move towards starting 4 nationals on the o line, meaning signing Steward is a priority. I like his play, and his versatility. We do need more Canadian depth a...

Re: 2016 season review and 2016/17 offseason

Coaching is more than 'our players gotta make plays', 'gotta block harder', 'gotta hit harder', 'gotta tackle better', and 'EXECUTE'. So Wally can blame the players for all of it and the media and some fans can drink the Kool Aid but logic says something different. While said Blitz, from my experie...

Re: Lions ownership discussion thread

The trend in the CFL ownership seems to be in conjunction with a hockey team. Their season's don't overlap that much, providing year-round employment for the marketing and administration staff. Football in the summer and hockey in the winter has been a staple of Canadian sports fans for over 100 ye...

Re: 2016 CFL Thread

I guess I should choose a bandwagon to jump on for the Grey Cup, as much as I hate to say it, I can't bring myself to cheer for Calgary, go Redblacks.

Re: 2016 season review and 2016/17 offseason

Coaching: Wally Buono has already stated that he will be back in 2017, that's a given, I would also be willing to bring back Washington and Jones as the Coordinators. Washington will be entering his fourth season as defensive coordinator, at times he has shown flashes of greatness, thinking up creat...

2016 season review and 2016/17 offseason

Well, I guess today is officially the first day of our offseason, while it would have been nice to be cheering for the Lions in the Grey Cup next week, finishing the season with a 12-6 record, second place in the league and contending for a championship is pretty good and a lot better than many pred...

Re: Stampeders 42 - Lions 15, WDF Post Game Comments

I heard Suiter mention that Solly was a free agent at the end of the year, whether that's fact or fiction. Yes, Elimimian's contract was restructured after his Achilles injury last year. He took a lower base salary and shorter term. Now that he has proved he can play at his previous level, I suspec...

Re: Leos Prepare to Play Stamps in West Final

Just ready on TSN.ca that Manny has been cleared to play. He has no concussion symptoms. He should be a major factor in this game.

Watching the East semi final, they had the exact same ads in the exact same spots on the field.

Re: Leos Prepare to Play Stamps in West Final

Something to factor in for Calgary is the amount of rest they had. Calgary hasn't played a game in three weeks, while Mitchell hasn't played in over a month. While rest can be beneficial with the extra time to prepare and to get some key players healthy, too much of it can lead to rust. I'm sure Dic...

Re: Manny Show Back On?

Thats the thing about concussions, you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes different players react differently to different hits and can recover quickly. Sometimes concussion symptoms can last just a few hours, sometimes years. Either way I would prefer to have both players in the lineup ...

I heard Saskatchewan may be interested in one or both. Either way I wouldn't want either of them near the Lions.

Re: Leos/Bombers Semi-Final Post Game Thoughts

Enough has been said about Jennings but I'll still add my 2 cents. He is something special, in my opinion probably the best qb in the CFL right now, I know a lot of praise goes toward Mitchell and Reilly, and deservedly so, both are great but neither one has shown the athleticism, poise, and arm tha...

Re: WFC Semi-Final Bombers vs. Lions Game Day Thread

Sorry to not have Gore or Manny for the WDF. Has it been announced that Manny's injury will keep him out of the WF? And that Gore will still be on concussion protocol? It was announced that Manny has a concussion. I assume he will not play. Those things do not clear in a week. Gore is a question. Y...
