OBrian doesn't appear to have much of an arm.
O'Brian is the typical anemic Import meh QB we have seen in this league forever. He has nothing.
Tell us how your really feel :beer:

Lions very fortunate to be trailing by 11 points at the half. 5 first downs and 79 yards total offence

Lol! Chris Jones??!! Not with Hervey as GM. Not in a million years.
And who do you think hired Jones in Edmonton?
And then what happened?
They won a Grey Cup. Hervey might sell Brayley on that to keep his job.

I think you better go back and check their relationship right around that time.

Well I guess this is to be expected. Calgary is playing for a home playoff date, BC just looks to be BC. OBrien doesn't appear to have anything. You have to wonder what the plan was going to be if Reilly ever got hurt. Can you imagine if this year had been meaningful and now we were faced with this as our plan B? I know that there has been some just bad luck this season but not having a credible backup is really inexcusable. It just provides fuel to the notion that the management/coaching is woefully wanting. Every other team that has been successful this year has had a backup that could a least win a couple, in some cases, they have taken over the team and become the number 1. Shame on the Lions management and coaching for putting this farce together and presenting it to the fans as a salable product for 2019. I can't wait for the season to end so that we can hopefully begin to rebuild a credible team.

If Claybrooks is fired and not Hervey I think that is not right. Hervey is the one that deserves to be fired. But do I think it is a mistake to fired Claybrooks just looking at the coaching issue? No. I personally do not think is a good HC and if this was the 70's or 80's he probably would have been fired by now. I think someone will be fired whether Hervey or Claybrooks or both. Just changing assistants not enough. Farhan seems to have inside knowledge about the Lions and I think what he thinks likely will come to pass. It is life. The question now is who they hire to replace him and I think it could be Lapolice. If they do get a new coach he has to have experience. No more rookie head coaches.

As for the game, well that is better left unsaid for now.

So Bridge and the fake punt gets to the 1 with the PI call. BUT WTF is Jarius thinking putting O'Brien in for a 1 yd run? This is just ridiculous. Bridge is second to O'Brien on ability to run 1 yd for a TD. It's like the elephant being subbed out for the mouse... ..

And why go for 1 pt to make it 14 - 10 ? Go for 2!

But if u go for 2 and they have to play O'Brien to run it... well maybe the 1 pt was a good call lol
