Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

I've included both videos above for comparisons and I'm sure you agree that the 2012 game ended in the same circumstances and yet in that game, the referee allowed the clock to go to 0 officially ending the game without allowing the Stampeders one last play for a field goal attempt. The officials m...

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023

The Lions were also helped big time with Ottawa going for a pass deep on second down that stopped the clock. Bone headed call by Dyce on that one. Yes, that play helped the Lions immensely. B.C. was out of time outs, so if Ottawa had run the ball, Leone could have run close to twenty seconds off th...

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023

Lol. Remember that big comeback a few years back when BC came from behind to tie Hamilton then win it in OT? My buddy who was down from PG with his wife got disgusted at BC's lackluster performance and left with 5 to go. I texted him to tell him it was going into OT. He was like WTF?!?! Instead of ...

Noticed something going on at Roger's Arena as we left and thinking it could be a combo opportunity with Canucks or Warriors if Aquilini wanted to play nice.
I think what you're referring to was the Rod Stewart performance scheduled for Saturday evening.

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023

On another note, I don't think for even a milli-second that Adam Bighill is a cheap-shot artist despite the controversial no-call. Early on the call he took for a hit was even to the TV folks a mystery. Bighill who I met in the gym working out alone and with Sol E pre-covid has nothing but respect ...

Time will tell. Mason Fine did "engineer" 2 TDs. However the spectacular one on the desperation 3rd & 24 Hail Mary into 3 defenders was aided bigtime when the Stamp defenders made like Larry Fine.

Ha Ha! Nicely said.

Re: Lions vs. Bombers Oct. 15, 2022

What seems to be lost in this 'Winnipeg played lots of back-ups' (eleven, I believe) narrative is that we played with a lot of 2nd stringers too due to injury. Rourke Whitehead Burnham Gwacham Mackie Norman Banks Breaux/Edwards-Cooper DH :cool: Plus Ben Hladick left the game due to injury and did n...

Re: Lions vs. Redblacks Sept. 30, 2022

Word is Rourke's rehab is going well as can be expected including walking in a pool this past week and the hope is he will soon be wearing a shoe again with no kind of assistance. Lions are 5 weeks out from their regular season finale and 6 weeks from the Western semi-final. I noticed him walking a...

Injuries have forced several changes to the Lions’ roster for Friday’s Orange Shirt Day game against the Redblacks.
Shaq Johnson is added as an extra DB, mainly to play special teams.
Hakeem Johnson (18)

Re: Empire Stadium

Slight might be an understatement. In the final 2 or 3 years I had STs for the second half of the season in Section X Row 7. If I recall that was around the 20 at on the south end of the field. I swear when somebody was running down the far sideline inside the 25 you could only see him from the kne...

Re: Empire Stadium

If any of you are curious about what old Empire Stadium (1954-1982) looked like or simply want to stroll down memory lane, here is some extensive footage from someone's 8MM or "Super 8" movie camera. This was shot for a seemingly sold-out Jehovah's Witness event called the "Peace On ...

Re: Farhan: Lions on verge of acquiring Vernon Adams

Very interesting there has been zero mention (that I've seen) of O'Connor's "injury" - what was it?; was he incapable of playing the rest of that game, or , going forward? Nothing in terms of any sort of vote of some confidence from Campbell or the OC? Have a feeling he is done in terms o...

Re: Lions vs. Riders Aug. 26, 2022

Starting on our 20 (or worse) after every punt return all year doesn't help either... And they start on their 40. It’s been this way all season. That’s a 20 yard advantage every series. If a team took 20 yards in penalties on every drive they would never win a game. Yet we spot our opponents exactl...

Re: Lions v Bombers July 9

Pearson drops passes? I'll give you his first one on the first play from scrimmage in Ottawa. That was a bona-fide drop. Last night stats show 1 catch on 3 targets he had another catch that was overturned because Rhymes jumped offside. I recall one "drop" as it was right in front of me. I...

On the whitehead return TD he got two greatblocks one around the 20 yard line whe our lion could have destroyed a red blackbut instead just made a good b!ock. The ref might have called a croughing penalty had he decijded to destroy the fed black and up around midfield I think it wasn Lokombo who to...
