Re: Russell Wilson - Traded (1.5 years later)

Less than two years later after the trade and officially speaking less than 1.5 years later if you start evaluating the beginning of the 2022 NFL season, then there's no doubt which team won the trade. On the poll, most people predicted that Denver would benefit more from the trade but that was cert...

Re: 2002 - Bob Ackles returns to Lions

Toronto 30 at BC 22


There's a reason why Matt Kellett didn't stay too long and was no replacement at all for legendary Lui.

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

On the contrary from Drew Lock NOT replacing Gino Smith as the starter when both QB's are healthy, Broncos head coach Sean Payton is benching quarterback Russell Wilson and replacing him with Jarrett Stidham as the starter for the rest of the season. That said, with his high salary and mediocre perf...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Another come-from-behind win by the Seahawks in Tennessee to keep their playoff hopes alive. Pete Carroll opted for Geno Smith after his recovery, but after a slow start I was wondering if he would be replaced with Drew Lock at halftime. But in this case, Carroll stuck with Geno Smith who had a stro...

Re: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks/NHL Season Thread

Heading into Christmas, Canucks have extended the points streak to 9 games with a huge 7-4 win over San Jose. There was a lot of controversy with Rick Tocchet's benching of Andrei Kuzmenko several times this season. But upon his return, he immediately scored the first two Canuck goals. At 49 points,...

Edmonton 33 at BC 13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7aSXfG3jjg First game for Joe Galat as head coach after he fired Larry Donovan. But the team still lost with giving them a 0-5 record. Unlike the 2011 season, the Lions would never recover for this and missed the playoffs for the first time sinc...

Edmonton 25 at BC 18


Who would have thought that three years later in 1997, the teams would exchange quarterbacks - albeit for Damon Allen it was not directly to BC.

Re: Matt Dunigan

As I recall the issue with the Kapp era and Lui was his unwillingness to pay more for Lui being both the Punter and the Place Kicker. Joe Kapp was not the right person for that situation and totally unprepared. But that said, I don't recall Joe Kapp bringing in another kicker at the start of the 19...

Canucks are on a 8-game points streak at 6-0-2 and despite the recent OT loss to Dallas, they are now at the top of the league with 47 points which is tied with Las Vegas but ahead in the standings with one more win and also lead in GF at 135 and DIFF at +43. :rockin: With the huge improvement from ...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

When it comes to trades especially players on the same position, after a period of time one can get a general idea of which fans would lament more on the loss of the traded player. As a great example, while not a trade per se in 1992 Lions fans miss Doug Flutie a heck of a lot more than Stampeders f...

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup Thread

Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami FC team will be playing in Vancouver against the Whitecaps FC on Saturday, May 25, 2024. I'd say it will defintely be a sellout and I wonder if they will open the upper bowl as if though it were the Grey Cup. Let's just hope Lionel Messi won't get injured prior to th...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Finally, the Seahawks break their four game losing streak by upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles. Certainly not an easy win with the careless defence allowing the Eagles to take 10-0 and 17-10 leads. But the defence rose to occasion in the fourth quarter by a pick and then by forcing the Eagles to pun...
