Great game by a young, fast aggressive D


On the other hand, we need a kicker!

I was always of mind that Bo was successful due to the Stamps D giving him the confidence to take chances. Different story when he is behind.

Nice to get those picks though as Mitchell is well due to have a game like this.

The Lions dodged a bullet by not attempting field goals when they had a chance to widen their lead. If the coach has no confidence in the kicker, it’s time for a change.

The Leos could have lost this game as they chose to gamble on 3rd down at the end of the game when they should have kicked a FG in territory that any competent CFL kicker can make.

I’m not asking for 60 yard FG’s, just average ones in the 30-40ish yard range.

Time to look for a replacement!

110% right could be 2-0 right now if they had a kicker

Erratic kicking game will bite any team, way more often than you think it can. There will always be the statititions out there that will dig up going for it vs the FG, however every now and then you need a last play FG to win a game.

Frankly as surprised as I was after the first half vs the Riders, I can say that FG kicking cost us a win there.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Flintoft doing the kicking chore next week.
