Re: Rourke to undergo surgery

I'm looking forward to seeing our new starter, O'Connor get his chance. I really hope all this talk about who is available and who should be brought in is just for fun. He's not Rouke, but not one of us knows how good he is or can be. Go Micheal Go! Best of luck. I know most of us Lions fans believ...

Re: 2022 CFL Week Eight

Good to see Hamilton get a win yesterday. Although the Als nearly did the last second play to tie the game or go for the 2 points to win. Watching the game, it almost seemed like the Hamilton defence thought they had the win in the bag with under 30 seconds left. Either that or Montreal, who were pl...

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

Well I'm up to #35 in the CFL Fantasy standings after just seven weeks so I'm off to a pretty good start . With the increase in the price of many of my go-to picks, I've had to hold my nose and make some truly reprehensible picks this week because that's where the best relative values lie. We'll se...

Re: Garrett Marino

That whole series of plays was pretty disgusting. Even back in the days of Murphy and Jimenez, there wasn't such a deliberate attempt to cause an injury. And the MMA/WWE posturing after the ejection has no place in our game. I would not be disappointed if Marino was cut after serving his suspension.

Changes in Montreal

Both Khari Jones and Barron Miles have been let go with GM Danny Macoicia taking over the HC duties and Noel Thorpe handling the DC duties until the end of season. I wonder if this is the precursor to Thorpe's getting the HC job he has been looking for a while. With Redblacks and Argo's not doing we...

Re: NFL Interest in Rourke

I'm not going to spend a bunch of energy getting fussed about Rourke being poached by the NFL. I'm going to enjoy having a QB that is young, mobile, makes his reads quickly, throws the ball out fast and is mature. It's what we have been calling for over the past many seasons and I'm not getting my k...

Re: Lions at Redblacks June 30, 2022

BTW, why didn't Campbell call a timeout before the end of the half? We had enough time (with a timeout) to march a drive. He redeemed himself on the Lucky challenge but I have my doubts about him sometimes... DH :cool: Didn't Campbell lose a challenge and a timeout in the first half???? or was that...

Re: Lions at Redblacks June 30, 2022

Hatcher was playing the slot position, vacated by Burnham's injury and he sure delivered. While Lucky did not get many touches, with his speed he has to be accounted for by the D on every play and as such Lucky makes a great decoy. He can also be very effective on short passes followed by YAC. It i...

Re: Season opener: Lions vs. Elks June 11, 2022

Following up from David's plus and minus posting, this is really nitpick time..... - I hope the player introductions continue, although with both teams on the same side, it will get a bit crowded when the majority of players first come out.... I don't think there will be massing at the 55 yard line....

Re: 2022 BC Lions Dance Team (UPROAR)

I think the change of name is to align with the use of "Roar" in the messaging.... there is "Roar Like Never Before"...... there is "Roary", the dance team mascot, and the dance squad is UpRoar..... Even the opening video had a kid doing a "ROAR" in it.... I e...

Re: Season opener: Lions vs. Elks June 11, 2022

Certainly the cost of those upper seats is attractive.... Knowing myself, if I sat upstairs where it feels like you can reach out and touch the big screen, I would likely end up watching the game on the screen instead of the field....and that's a first step on the slippery slope to staying home and ...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

My biggest concern is lack of experience with the QBs and OC/playcaller. However hiring Burris as a QB consultant, even if he is doing mostly zoom calls from his home in Chicago once the season starts, very much addresses my concerns. I share your concern about the QB's. However, I'm not sure I can...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

I don't get the lack of "love" here for Sayles. From my seat, he was one of the best open field tacklers on the defence. Not many got by him when he was playing safety. He made tackles all over the field, and I thought he had good anticipation to the ball. I guess it is always in the eyes ...

Re: 2021-22 NFL Season thread

I could have got it wrong, but I thought McEvoy said (in the post-free agent video summary with Campbell) that Kupp was on the Leo's Neg list at one time... Don't think he will be coming north anytime soon...

I would have preferred a Bengals win..... they have the same colour scheme as us....

Re: 2022 Free Agents - BC Targets - Top 5

Arbuckle is under contract to Elks, isn't he? And has Harris indicated in the past an interest in a coaching career? Yes at $340K including a $100K bonus the Elks already paid out. I thought his contract ended at the end of last season. Oh well, Wrong again!!! Never Mind....... Farhan is reporting ...
