Re: B.C. defence 2023: A tale of 2 half seasons

SammyGreene TEAM CAPTAIN Re: B.C. defence 2023: A tale of 2 half seasons MON OCT 16, 2023 11:06 PM Great work BC FAN to confirm our worst fears. I always thought post Rourke we had to be a much more balanced team relying on all three phases to close the gap on the Bombers. That’s what made that ear...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

B.C.FAN TEAM CAPTAIN Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023 FRI OCT 13, 2023 7:22 PM The Lions have to tighten up on defence. They’ve gone soft and give up too many easy yards and first downs. They’ve allowed an average of over 30 points a game in the second half of the season. JaQuan Hardy didn’t make ...

"Smoke on the water, fire in the sky" Deep Purple I did not write my keys to the game but in many ways tonight's game could be a key to the entire season. Why? :dizzy: Firstly, there is saying that where there is smoke there if fire. However that is not always true. If one has ever tried t...

Re: Chase Claypool

Claypool's attitude and behaviors with two franchises who could not wait to have him gone meant he does not deserve a third chance. He is very lucky to get this opportunity and with a very good team and a smart coach. Miami has some real speedsters but Claypool's size could be an advantage, especial...

Re: Should the Lions sign Colin Kaepernick?

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn't played in the league since 2016, though the ex-San Francisco 49ers star doesn't appear to be hurting financially. Kaepernick's net worth is north of $20 million, according to reports. That's not a bad number for someone who played in the league for jus...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown

What a complete waste of time Davis is at this stage of career. Almost laziness on the Lions’ recruiting efforts not to find an athletic young QB to use in those situations instead of signing a 34 year old as a supposed short yardage specialist. Pipkin was better a year ago coming off the scrap hea...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown

It was a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a game that likely means our Leos will not win the West, or get a playoff bye, or have a home date for the Western Final, if we even get to that point. There were a lot of opportunities for our Leos to win this contest and a lot of...

Re: Keys to the Game

Paul LaPolice’s keys to the game for the B.C. defence: Play more zone coverage and sacrifice some run yards to defend against explosive plays and give the front four time to get to the quarterback. B.C. Fan. I have a lot of regard for "Lapo" as an offensive coordinator but respectfully di...

Re: Keys to the Game

Also, making sure VA isn't stuck in the pocket. Play calling is crucial for BC and not getting caught in second and long with failed run plays on first down. Toppy Vann A diet of second and long will be big trouble. I would much rather see us use a short pass, like a quick swing with a linemen out ...

Keys to the Game

Well , "its the final countdown", as the old rock hair band Europe once sang. It’s a battle of the two most dominant teams in the West, late in this 2023 regular season, as the Bombers and our B.C. Lions play for all the spoils – the West Division crown, a playoff bye, and a home date for ...

Re: Should the Lions sign Colin Kaepernick?

The goal is always to improve your team. CK was a quality player. It costs very little to invite the guy to camp and then cut him if he can't cut it. Sir Purrcival He would at least likely be better at the quarterback sneak than what he have had so far this year with Davis. I'm ok with Kaepernick w...

Re: Riders @ BC Sept 29, 2023

A number of moves going into this game make sense to me and a couple of them make me wonder. I am pleasantly surprised that our Leos did not insert Pierson into the left guard position, where he started most of the season and move Knevel over to fill Chungh's spot. That means that our Leos are looki...
