2001
Coming off a 2000 CFL title, expectations were high in 2001. But the club never seemed to gel. Quarterback Damon Allen struggled, and the team hovered around the .500 mark all season. Finishing at 8-10, the Lions did make the playoffs, but were immediately bounced by Calgary in the Western Division Semi-Final. Matt Kellett became only the second full-time field goal kicker in 26 years, as he replaced Lui Passaglia. Rookie middle linebacker Barrin Simpson led the team in tackles and was named a first-team All-Star as well as the CFL's Rookie of the Year. Cornerback Eric Carter was the only other Lion to be named to the League's All-Star team.

I was at the 2001 Lions season opener as they they revealed their four new BC banners on either side of the replay screen. The game went to OT and the Lions pulled off a win.

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Too bad the Lions couldn't repeat this fine performance three weeks later at the WDSF.

The postponed game as a result of 9/11. The Lions had to win the game to prevent Toronto from crossing over and taking the final playoff spot in the west.

The Lions had every opportunity to win this playoff game and defend its 2000 GC. But unfortunately after taking the lead it looks like playing 4 games in 15 days eventually had its toll for the Lions and allowed Calgary to take the lead late in the fourth quarter.

WDSF - BC 19 at Calgary 28


The 2001 WSDF in its entirety. Along with the 1991 WDSF and 2008 WDF all in McMahon Stadium, this game is extremely frustrating to watch as in all three games, the Lions had a lead and had every opportunity to finish off the Stampeders but instead, allowed the Stampeders to get the lead to win the game. Defending their Grey Cup championship in 2000, the Lions valiantly fought back to take the lead in fourth quarter only to squander the lead yet again. :bang:
