Re: DeVone Claybrooks fired

It was such a disastrous season and some of it has to land on the coach. The team just never really looked properly prepared. Still though, I fear there are deeper issues than just a coaching change that need to be addressed before we truly see change.

Re: What Happens Now

I didn't vote because my option wasn't available. We need the ownership situation sorted out. It has been well documented of Brailey's desire to sell the team. That should be the #1 priority this offseason. This was a terrible year and we need a new owner with long term goals. Until that happens I d...

Re: Lions at Winnipeg Aug. 15, 2019 - Game Day Thread

One of the worst BC Lions teams to watch that I've ever seen.

Re: Who Will be Fired First

I voted Jackson but I think it won't be until end of season and he probably won't be alone.

Re: Riders 45 - Lions 18 -- Post Game Comments

Am happy to say I was at the game last night. Even during a loss the CFL experience in person is a lot of fun. I had a blast. ...Other than that though, the CFL is such a great live experience. I love it and wish there were more early start games so I could get there more. Thanks for bringing this ...

Re: Riders 45 - Lions 18 -- Post Game Comments

Am happy to say I was at the game last night. Even during a loss the CFL experience in person is a lot of fun. I had a blast. I did however see a lot of concerning things off the field. I was 3 rows up from behind the team bench and there are a lot of guys not on the same page. Not sure if it's too ...

Re: Coaching or Lack of it?

You don’t have the right to make derogatory comments based on race. And while you for the most part kept that garbage out of this post, that still didn’t make it any more coherent to read. Your sexist remarks also have zero place on these forums. Again, for someone who bragged about his job on the ...

Re: Coaching or Lack of it?

It is way too early to be calling for the coach to be fired. Some people forget just how much personnel turnover we had this past offseason. To expect the team to come out firing on all cylinders after such a short training camp is just flat out wishful thinking. The team was bound to have wrinkles ...

Re: Stampeders 36 - Lions 32 -- Post-Game Comments

Way too early to panic but last nights game stings. That should have been a victory. I think the team is much better than the record shows though. Remember that there was a lot of personnel turnover in the offseason so there was always going to be wrinkles to iron out. Still lots of time left in the...

Re: 2019 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

I so totally hate the uniforms worn tonight. Almost turned the game off in disgust. We all have our own flavor for sure. I actually like our uni's this season except for the orange pants. For home games if they would use black pants with orange socks I think our uni's would be in the running for be...

Re: Stampeders @ Lions June 7, 2019 - Game Day Thread

A pretty solid showing from Kraemer. I know it was against players unlikely to make the final squad but it was still fun to watch him engineer those drives.

For the first time in a few years I think we're absolutely solid at QB this season.

We need black pants. Badly.
Agreed. Black pants with orange socks. The tops and helmet are awesome though. They just need to get the bottom sorted.

Re: 2019 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

I agree with you, Hambone. The lighting will have a major effect on the actual coloring. Other than that though, if I'm totally honest about it, I don't see a lot of similarities between this years and last years jersey other than color. From top down they look completely different. My opinion thoug...
