Re: Western Conference Final Game Thread

Ridiculous series of events leads to that TD... 1. Unnecessary roughness puts us back to the 35 on our last possession. W get to the 50 of Calgary and without the penalty kick a field goal. 2. Old man Mccallum can't punt more than 30 yards and we take a no yards putting them in good field position. ...

Re: A little Crow for our pre-game meal!

I was definitely in the crowd of "the game has passed by WB"....and I am happy to say I was proven wrong as the turnaround has been nothing short of remarkable. Haivng said that, I think this game is pivotal in defining the legact that WB leaves in his time as our head coach (assuming he i...

Re: Bombers @ Lions, Nov 27, 2011 Grey Cup Odds and Comments

Our Lions are better on both sides of the ball, relatively speaking. You could argue that the Bombers D is a little tougher at times, but playing against Lulay and the Lions O is more difficult than the average. Even if you put the Lions D a bit behind the Bombers, the Lions D is competing against a...

Re: Where will you be watching?

At home in an Edmonton suburb surrounded by a bunch of Eskimo fans who will be cheering for our Lions today. Other than being at BC Place, watching Eskimo fans cheer for the Lions in the Grey Cup is as good as it gets :) :)

Re: Esks @ Lions, Nov 20, 2011, Game Day Thread

Edmonton's penalties are now catching up...think about how big that offside was when Lulay had a free play and hit Geroy!! Momentum heading our way...need a stop on D to finish off a flawed yet effective first half!

Re: Esks @ Lions, Nov 20, 2011, Game Day Thread

Penalties like that are what lose you games like this. Lions NOT sharp as a unit after a poor snap and then a penalty a 4th grader wouldn't screw up on. Now, we let Ray run for a first down to capitalize. BRUTAL!!!!!!!

Re: Esks @ Lions, Nov 20, 2011, Game Day Thread

Adequate first quarter.... We have got a little bit of pressure on RR, forcing him to throw the ball early a few times. Offence has looked sharp with the exception of the drop by Geroy. Need to score when given the opportunity. Edmonton about to pull within 3, and the longer Edmonton stays in it, th...

Re: Esks @ Lions, Nov 20, 2011, Game Day Thread

A few missed chances so far, but really nice to get out of that drive when we started at the 5. Gotta score a few TD's though if you are going to earn a spot to the Grey Cup!!

Re: Eskimos @ Lions, Oct. 29, 2011 Game Day Thread

For the love of all things sensical and right....why are we throwing the ball on 2nd and 9 when we could run the clock down....Wally has 252 more wins in the CFL than I do but that seems pretty bleeding obvious to me.

Re: Eskimos @ Lions, Oct. 29, 2011 Game Day Thread

As I said an hour ago....it will catch up with us. The D simply can't contain Ray all night with the injuries we have. The O needs to step up and score a TD.

Agreed! If we made a few plays the mistakes we are making could be made up for. Poor decisions, bad counting and an ineffective offense. Good thing Ray and Stamps can't connect tonight or we would already be done.

Re: Eskimos @ Lions, Oct. 29, 2011 Game Day Thread

completely unacceptable!!!!!!!!! We take a penalty after the play and push us back in danger of missing a field goal that gives us a 2 possession lead. Brutal self control in the biggest game of the year. AWFUL!
