I agree with what Toppy Vann has said. Campbell isn't likely going anywhere even after the season is over. Replace Campbell with Benivedes????? Not even as a temporary replacement, imo. I'm not sure I even want Benivedes as a Special Teams coach. The CFL coaching talent pool is very small in the CFL...

My first thought when Hollins was hurt is that now the Lions should go with 4 receivers plus a RB and FB. Rarely does a QB have time to go to a 5th or 6th read/receiver. In the Lions case, both RB Standback and FB Mackie are pretty good receivers, so a 2 back set up still allows for lots of pass rec...

Obviously the Lions can't keep both QBs next season, so it makes sense to decide right now which QB to keep and which to trade next season. That keeper is Rourke and he should be the declared starter right now. This is not a bad deal for Adams who as a Lion he has played at an all star level and it ...

The Lions should hire Blitz as a consultant. OTOH, they can just come here and read his posts for free.

I think in the off-season it's time to find a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator and maybe a new defensive coordinator as well. Even if the team does not improve and find some consistency by the end of the season I am NOT in favour of gutting the coaching staff. The main reason is that it ...

The inconsistency of this year's Lions team is really frustrating me. How can they go from 2 dominate performances including beating the Als the top team in the CFL, to not even looking competitive vs the Argos?

I'm in the USA so I couldn't see the game but I just watched a Youtube highlight package. Great game for Mackie and Stanback. I was a bit surprised as I thought the Als would be really focused on stopping Stanback. Another excellent game from Rourke who seems to be getting more comfortable with the ...

Some players get "up" for a game by emotional Raw Raw speeches, or throwing or smashing things. So I will give Rourke a pass for being too into a game or too focused to give half time interviews. However if he agreed to do an interview this one time and only one time, he should have put mo...

I was unable to watch the game live as I am on a Motorhome Blues Cruise with my dog headed from the Emonton Blues Festival a few weeks ago to the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas next week. I am at a Walmart in Omak WA. and was able to watch an 8 minute WiFi highlight package on Youtube. Weirdest highl...

I'm not going to provide a link, but there is a serious meltdown going on over on RiderFans over the Lions blowing the cap off the SMS with the re-signing of both Rourke and Betts..... :popcorn: Have been following it also from what I can understand it is okay when they went over the cap because th...

I believe this is game 4 that VA will miss, so can we put him on 6 game retroactive to his first missed game? That would save some cap $. Or, because he was listed on depth chart (even though he didn't dress) we can't? I don't know the exact details but one of the stipulations when on the 6 game IR...

Amar Doman best owner the Lions have ever had. Quite a difference from the Murray Pezim ownership group. Although Pezim's group did save the team from going under. Whenever anyone criticizes Pezim, I like to point out that he literally wined and dined Doug Flutie (Pezim's hobby was gourmet cooking)...

Fantastic news. I'm thinking that he had a career year last season playing for D Line coach John Bowman and that was a big part of him returning to B.C., although I thought Detroit might offer Betts a PR spot. Of course they might have made the offer but he could have rejected it and decided that he...

Maksymic originally came to the Lions, not that many years ago as a QB coach at Michael Reilly's request. Shortly after that he was promoted to OC. Phillips became a DB coach, after retirement as a DB, also not that long ago. And then after only one season, I think, he got promoted to OC with the ju...
