At this juncture, I'm prepared to question whether we even HAVE a box outside of which to think.Rammer wrote:That would require outsude the box thinking on our Coaching staff, not a strong point of theirs.David wrote:Can anyone figure out why Hart (who can throw 60-70 yards I'm told) wasn't inserted to throw the ball to the endzone?

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Benevides said in the post game that they considered that option but Hamilton had all their defensive backs so deep that the Lion opted to try to bust one down the seams.David wrote:Can anyone figure out why Hart (who can throw 60-70 yards I'm told) wasn't inserted to throw the ball to the endzone?

Shouldnt have came down to any of this nonsense.Lions not ready to go from the opening kick off.Road woes continue.Slow starts.Poor anti-blitz.Zero run game.No D-Line pressure.Lots of holes to fix wait till we go to Regina!
Sure the Lions know where the box is, just ask Chappy, he tries to keep Lulay in it all the time.sj-roc wrote:At this juncture, I'm prepared to question whether we even HAVE a box outside of which to think.Rammer wrote:That would require outsude the box thinking on our Coaching staff, not a strong point of theirs.David wrote:Can anyone figure out why Hart (who can throw 60-70 yards I'm told) wasn't inserted to throw the ball to the endzone?

X2 If somehow the Lions came back to win this game, it would only serve to mask the defiencies of this team.

That depends on if you are looking at this from the Hamilton front seven's perspective or not. If so, then you didn't miss an opportunity to lay a smackdown on Lulay, but you did miss Harris rushing the ball, but in a good way, again from Hamiltons perspective . However if you are a Lions OC, you missed tje players executing the plays yet again. But most importantly, if you are aa Lions fan, you miss the last half of 2011 when the Lions O dictated to the opposition D's game oin and game out.
Right now I find this season comical, it is at that stage for me, expectations aren't where they were in June anymore.

TSN panel during Ssk@Wpg halftime kicking around topic of best 3rds, BC vs Ham, Dunigan just said basically same thing.sj-roc wrote:With the way the Ti-cats are handling us today, they're gonna want to keep these uniforms for good. They even match the colours in the endzone that they've so frequently visited.

I was half kidding, of course, but really, we're in full on Western Semi loss territory here.Rammer wrote:

The Lions orange pants made it less than a pretty sight with so much red and then orange. Not sure if there is a solution to that but online viewing is hard enough as it is. It would have been better if the Lions were about to used their gun metal coloured unis. The days of visitors needing to be in white for the contrast ended when colour TV came into existence. Its not like fans can't figure out who's home and who's visitor other ways.sj-roc wrote:TSN panel during Ssk@Wpg halftime kicking around topic of best 3rds, BC vs Ham, Dunigan just said basically same thing.sj-roc wrote:With the way the Ti-cats are handling us today, they're gonna want to keep these uniforms for good.
