I think they should also add two other QBs who haven't played recently:

Tim Tebow
Johnny Football Manzell

OR add Tom Brady who jokingly said he should come to the CFL as he's won in every country he has played in.
Fortunately Johnny Football is banned from the CFL.

Neg list cost the team nothing, and it gets the BC Lions some free publicity on the sports wires. It might even get the Lions some space in the local sports news during Canuck pre-season. A well timed PR stunt, if you ask me.

How could the CFL schedule makers think that a Winnipeg/Toronto Grey Cup rematch would be a good idea in week 17? Or that it should overlap with a Lions/Riders game? Before this season started I think everyone would have imagined tonight's west division game would have been between two teams battling each other for playoff seeding.

Chase Brice and Dom does not create great confidence in me. Let's hope VA has a healthy, safe game.
Coach Campbell better not forget we are playing an undisciplined and dirty Rider team that have taken out their share of QBs over the past few seasons. Let's get a big lead and get VA out of the game as soon as possible.

It looks like the Lions have made a late lineup change. Amir Siddiqi, who wasn’t on the game roster, is taking part in pregame warmups. I don’t see Jalon Edwards-Cooper. Adrian Greene is at JEC’a cornerback position and Quincy Mauger is back at safety, where Greene was expected to line up.

If we only had a run game to compliment the air attack.

They don't seem to have that balance that a good team should have. With RB's plentiful, you think that you might be able to find a more reliable running game than we have.

Could someone please explain to me why they declined a holding penalty that would have the Riders 1st and 20 on their own 5?

What the actual F.

On the 15. Hold is 10 yards.

Yes, they were at their own 15 so it would have been half the distance and 1st and 17.5 (officially 18).

It would have been a 7-yard penalty, half the distance to the goal. Second and 10 offered better odds than first and 17.
