Pretty impressed with the O line so far. Our backs getting some decent holes to run. Rourke getting enough time to progress through his reads.

How did Rourke just make that pass to Cottoy? Amazing!

Another TD pass! :beauty:

Total domination. May this momentum carry on to game 3. :cheer:
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。

Rourke’s ball distribution is ridiculously good. What a start to the season

For the last decade we've had such a mediocre O line and this year it's been so far a turnaround. What gives? Coaching, play calling, better talent? Just keep Nathan time and he's gonna rip apart any D.

It's so fun to watch. Reminds me of Dave Dickenson. DD would just pick apart defenses with short passes. Rourke can throw it deep too which DD had more issues with.

We're all so starstruck with Rourke but this defense. Wow!

I'm going to have to revise down my combined total score picks going forward.

So excited for the rest of the season, hopefully we can keep injuries at bay...

Nathan Rourke has just established a CFL record for most passing yardage in a single game for a Canadian QB. :beer:

WOW !!!

Rourke; receivers; O-Line; defence = all outstanding; and having an accurate FG kicker like Whyte is huge.

Extra wow to David Mackie - guy looks like another Sean Millington ! (and what a dumb roster management move to dress only one tailback IMO; but if Mackie is not rewarded with more carries moving forward in other games = even dumber)

I don't remember being this excited over a Qbs performance since Casey Printers

Great comparison about Mackie looking like Millington. Potentially a Drummond/Millington or Philpot/Millington style combo

Anybody want to bet if we see Mackie getting rewarded with more than one or two carries in a game going forward ?

This is an exciting time to be a Lions fan. It's been years since I was this genuinely hopeful about our future. Rourke looks to be the real deal.

A big test will be when we play teams like Winnipeg or Saskachewan (and even they have shown some weaknesses), but the fact we established two decisive wins (rather than winning close games with some struggles) is very, very promising.
