The Lions are a badly coached team. The offensive line is in a state of constant confusion and the running back can’t recognize a blitz.
This has gotta be the #1 priority. 7 sacks while playing 3 Americans on the oline? It's a miracle that Reilly is still standing.
O line and almost the entire defence.

Is Suitor a Lion hater? With about 3 minutes remaining lions go for it on third down. Lions were holding but lions decided to challenge and all Suitor could say was it wont matter. E cause me but offsetting penalties get Lions another down. Anyone else notice his defeatist attitude. Thnx BB

Brian Chiu needs to be fired too in the offseason. Lions sacked 7 times again and on pace to give up over 70 sacks. Likely the worst in Lions history and maybe CFL history.

Lions were competitive for just over a half then fell apart. Their special teams are terrible and as long as Taylor A is coaching they will continue to be bad.

It is possible Lions may not win another game this year.

As Lion King says Now What? They need at least privately admit season is over and start planning for next year by getting rid guys they do not plan on resigning and maybe they need to fire Taylor A. Who cares about worrying about making a scapegoat? They need to make a change and admit this guy is not a poor coach and needs to be gone ASAP.

Farhan saying now that Lions need to fire Taylor A. Others agree. 5 plays tonight on ST that killed them. Saying it is happening game after game.

First on the firing line should be Hervey, who's responsible for this mess. Next (in order) should be: JJ, ST coach, OL coach. All the other coaches are on paper-thin ice.
Really disappointing.

Chiu abd Altilio need be fired tomorrow.

Hire Kelly Bates to coach the o-line. Can't be any worse.

Hang on with the railroading of Chiu.

JJ got stopped mixing it up and the last part of the game with Reilly as firm in place as the Statue of Liberty, it made it easy for the Bombers pass rush.

What happened to the run game? When he called run plays only maybe one had any element of surprise.

The constant excusing of the QB for his role in letting his OC call plays that have him directly 3 to 5 steps of the OL needs to change. It's as if Reilly is trying reverse pysch on the team by doing the same thing over and over.

While I agree that Reilly is hardly Danny McManus 2.0 in terms of getting rid of the ball, Chiu's group looked completely befuddled (again!) as to which man to pick up. The Bombers didn't even disguise their safety blitz, Hecht came right off the edge and Reilly took one right to the solar plexus. It's shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic with this Oline. I thought they made progress last week, but they took one giant step back tonight, especially in the 2nd half.

I'm sorry, but Chiu has to wear this.

I generally agree that Chiu is responsible for the offensive line’s underperformance but blitzers are usually the responsibility of the running back, and White seems to constantly look in the other direction. Opponents don’t even need to disguise their blitzes. Running backs coach Nik Lewis is responsible for White’s lack of preparation.
