Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Hmmmm, nice with Hladik and Stanback signed.

Hope my spidey sense is wrong but, given the coin that they likely laid out for these two, it is likely the ship has sailed on re-signing Betts.

Time will tell...

Re: Home opener: Lions vs. Elks June 17, 2023

22-0 Lions final. The third Lions shutdown win in franchise history, and first time since 1977. :beauty: :rockin: I attended that last shut-out game back in '77 at Empire Stadium. Still can remember the crowd singing "Good by Leo" (Cahill) as the Lions shut out the Argos 30 - 0!! I believ...

I really liked DD during his Lions QB days but as a head coach in Calgary, he comes across as whiny and arrogant. The losses look good on him!

Re: Lions at Alouettes Sept. 9, 2022

Haven’t turned a game off this early in a long time. At this point they don’t look very interested in competing. No QB/no offense, atrocious tackling and consistently poor special teams. Unless Adam’s can get up to speed quick, our season was done when Rourke went down. Too bad really as it was look...

Re: Rourke to undergo surgery

Could be a season ending injury. According to a google search "No weight bearing is allowed for 6-8 weeks after surgery. A walking cast or boot is then used for another 4-6 weeks. If pins were used to hold the fourth and fifth metatarsals in place, they are removed 6-8 weeks after surgery. Pati...

Despite our ineptitude in the first half, only down 12. We can recover.

Re: B.C at Calgary Aug. 13, 2022

Quite shocking how all facets of our defense are trash in the first half. Can’t stop the run, coverage is terrible and taking poor penalties. Wow…. Hoping for a second half turnaround.

Re: Lions at Saskatchewan July 29, 2022

Like everyone else the slow start was hard to watch as it just seemed like they weren’t ready to play. The fear of the Lions laying a turd in a big game seemed to be unfolding as it has so many times in the recent past. Kudos to the boys - they hung in there and showed their resolve. These types of ...

Re: Lions at Saskatchewan July 29, 2022

Carbon copy of Lions teams of the last number of years….. a big game and they are a no-show to start, not emotionally ready to play. The team better wake up before the hole is too deep.

Second and one and we run out of the shotgun formation? Starting to feel like this game is slipping away.

Re: TiCats 40 - Lions 10, Post-Game Stats and Comments

Five plays that killed the Lions: 3 Jennings interceptions = 17 Hamilton points 1 Orange missed interception = 7 Hamilton points 1 Posey drop at halftime = 7 missed B.C. points If you take those five plays away, it's a 17-16 game for B.C. I'm not saying it should have or would have played out that ...

Wow... Congratulations to the Ti-Cats.... they thoroughly kicked our ass. Couldn’t watch the game live so I recorded it with eager anticipation to watch it when I got home.... thank gawd for the FF button on the PVR. How could a “veteran laiden” squad server up a complete no show? I say it speaks to...
