Sayles with some redemption. Still not out of the woods yet

And they hold. Jeez.

Need 3 first downs.

Run out the clock. How difficult is that?

4-1 but ugly to say the least.

Lions win one I'm not sure they really deserved too.

Ugly win. BUT. Last year would have been an ugly loss. So let’s take it and run. Need to stay in the playoff/crossover mix.

I b**ch about the D. But they gave up 12 points. So props to them.

Very valid point, last year we would have blown it for sure. 2 points is 2 points.

Lots to clean up on both sides of the ball. Part of me wonders if having the bye twice so early in the season messed with momentum of a young team. Offence in particular really looks out of sync coming out of the bye week.

Happy of course with the "W," but my biggest concerns thus far after 5 games:

* Special teams coverage (we're allowing teams to routinely scrimmage from the 40-yard line after kick-offs)
* Poor tackling (too many backs and receivers are squirming free for extra yards)
* Soft defensive coverage (too easy to get 8-12 yard completions against)
* Special teams returns (we're continually scrimmaging with a long field)

Yes, and they made a number of critical stops in the fourth quarter when the offence couldn’t
move the ball. It was an ugly win but we’ll take it.

Not a Picasso but a win is a win. Agree with other posters that tackling is atrocious. Anyone know why Evans spiked the ball with a minute and a half remaining ? There is a bit of revival in the running game which is a good sign.

Lions looked like Rich Stubler coached D: bend but don't break, giving up lots of yardage but very few points.

From the start of the season I have maintained that Lions have arguably the best set of DBs (especially when considering SAM LB Purifoy is a DB) in the CFL. I now
think Ti-Cats have the second best DBs.

Not what I would call a very entertaining win but a satisfying and needed to keep pace with the rest of the west, victory.

I don't think many people call the SAM linebacker a defensive back, if they did people would be referring to him as a nickelback. The position has never changed, only the body type.
