Re: Lions Late Season Woes: Coaches vs Players

I don't know if Campbell does it but one of Wally's policies that I very much liked was if a player took an after the whistle penalty, that player got fined and the $ going to Wally's favourite charity. And this would be irrespective of whatever penalty might have been imposed by the CFL. That soun...

Re: Lions Late Season Woes: Coaches vs Players

Well, it is interesting to see a coach guide a team to a second-place finish and still have fans questioning if he or senior coordinators should be back - but the second half of the campaign has definitely put this on the table. I'd say another concern that needs to be raised is lack of team discipl...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

One more thought: I always enjoy Farhan but this afternoon he confidently picked the Black and Orange to win by 14 points. I won't be taking any more tips from him anytime soon.

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

Lack of a run game, inability to stop the run, unreliable short yardage game means the Lions will be going nowhere in the playoffs. The Lions letting James Butler go in free agency with no adequate replacement represents Campbell's worst decision as Lions HC. Butler was the 2nd leading rusher in th...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

Well as much as I would like to continue to partake in this delightful display of BC Lions football skill, I'm afraid that my mental sanity has to take precedence. I wish those of you with a stronger constitution than I a far fetched miracle come back. See you in the playoffs. yes - but not for ver...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

Lions had a chance to create plenty of playoff buzz in this town. The air was let out of the balloon with the devastating loss to the Bombers and this putrid performance also in front of the hometown fans damages it further. The way they are playing plus it being a semi-final against likely Calgary...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023

Add undisciplined to a pourous defence So selfish - terribly depressing to watch. It seems the intensity of today's players leads to more late and post-play penalties - but I'm at the point of calling out Campbell and Phillips for a defence that hands first downs away on penalties like candy at Hal...

Updating - as you may have read - Nathan Rourke has now been moved to the active roster for Jacksonville and will dress for the Thursday game against the Saints.

Nathan Rourke may dress

Hi all, (I perhaps should have posted this in another section - but posting here as the Lions still have Nathan's CFL rights.) With news that Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a "day-to-day" injury and may not dress this weekend - 3DownNation is reporting that Nathan may be activated from th...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

Win or lose, we need to figure out our D and Oline. I hope I'm wrong, but we may not make the west final, especially if Harris is back. He loves the quick hitter/ short passing game. Ideal against our soft zone, (giving 10 yard cushion). he'll March up and down the field at will. If Harris isn't ba...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

The way that game ended makes you think the Lions should consider a Hamilton-style multiple QB approach. Much like Shiltz was a scary change-up (threatening with the run), Evans looked amazingly poised on his key position. He zipped the ball with accuracy and frankly looked much crisper than VA did ...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

Well, a win is a win but hardly overly impressive. Ticats had no business being in the game cause they got gifted a TD drive on what was an obvious fumble recovered by the Lions - how the goofs in the Command Centre could not get that right is mind numbing. New RB does not look like any kind of ans...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

Ooh man, that was tough to watch despite the win - and a lot of it came down to penalties - both the ones taken and ones not called. Both of BLM's first touchdowns were heavily assisted by penalties - including a clear roughing the passer after the ball was long gone. And taking a contacting the kic...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

JaQuan Hardy didn’t make much of an impact in the running game but he was effective as a receiver and blocker. The Lions had just 10 rushing attempts in the game. Hardy had 8 carries for 26 yards, an average of 3.3 yards per carry, but he had 3 catches for 40 yards and some key first downs. He show...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023

As expected, JaQuan Hardy is activated from the practice roster to replace Taquan Mizzell (ribs) at running back Friday. The offence is otherwise unchanged. On defence, the Lions have made several changes. Mike Jones is activated from the 6-game injured list to replace Jalon Edwards-Cooper (shoulde...
