Geroy "Superman" Simon to be inducted into the Lions' Ring of Honour at half time. Biggest crowd of the season anticipated.

Lions missing Khalif Mitchell, Ricky Schmidt, and Washington.

Contrasting coaches : O'Shea vs. Benevides

Lions need to continue doing what they've been doing the past couple of weeks ie. Bring pressure, run the football and quick passes

^^^

1) Skip the first one.

2) Skip the first two, going to miss the third one.

3) Skip, skip, skip...that is Benevides going down the sideline to chest bump a player.

4) Skip to the win.

Marc Washington isn't missing...he is coaching the D.

Dimeback, Torri Williams is on the 1 game IR list. Does anyone know what are his injuries?

Ricky Schmitt is injured??? How did that happen and for how long??? I hope McCallum doesn't kill us tonight with his KO's and punting.

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Diagnosed as a second-degree shoulder separation. He "could return next week," according to LU.

Williams. Washington. Defence lawyers' names. To go along with Smith. Taylor. Mitchell. Johnson. "The Law Firm."

Yes, LU expects the Lions to have Parks on Moore and Phillips on Denmark but I expect to see a lot of formations from the Bombers and coverages from the Lions. A steady diet of man coverage gives a big advantage to the offence.

What a horrid play call by Jones on 2 and 1...that is EXACTLY the kind of stupid run play JC would have called. We shouldn't be going sideways on 2 and 1...straight ahead, quick hitter...dumb, Dumb, DUMB. I expect better from Jones!

Two holding calls and a procedure call, and we're in the early part of the second quarter.

That's Dean Valli being Dean Valli.

Hey. That Tim Brown guy is pretty good. Maybe we ought to think about him returning kicks more often.
