Thoughts on getting Stanback?
A few days after his acquisition, I'm a little surprised not to see some speculation on getting Stanback from the Als - especially given the long volumes justifiably written here about the puff-ball running game. He is definitely coming here with a something-to-prove chip on his shoulder as he feels...

Re: 2023 Vanier Cup
One more thing as we discuss UBC football - does anyone know what happened to QB O'Connor after last CFL season?

Re: 2023 Vanier Cup
Congrats to the T-Birds for reaching the Vanier Cup, but the game was frustrating to watch for a few reasons. One, in this modern era, U Sport playoff games need video review options that are taken for granted in other leagues. (I realize resources are limited for regular season games, but should be...

Re: Congrats Alouettes!!!!
I kept wondering what the Rider faithful were thinking when Cody was up there holding the MOP in one hand and the Grey Cup in the other. Tonight was the reason we love sports - the ultimate reality show. If a scriptwriter submitted this game story it would be rejected as too unlikely. While the Als'...

Re: Congrats Alouettes!!!!
I hope the Lions coaching staff was watching Caleb Evans and Dakota Prukop on their short yardage plays in this game. Perhaps, but look what happened on those two plays from the one to end the half - football 101 usually says that being stuffed that way to end a half would be a momentum killer, but...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers
I have invested too much in this crap over the years. Been going to games since 63. Every year I get excited around May to see what the new year has in store. I might be done now. I don’t think as I age I can do this anymore. They are just so frustrating. It's interesting you write this. As I get o...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers
Hey Lions' experts, I am trying to remember how many times the Lions have managed to win a Western Final in the Prairies? - today's first half brings back memories of those awful afternoons at Commonwealth Stadium when the "Esks" were winning five straight. Can't watch this - too painful -...

Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers
Hi, Reading the linked game story on bombers.com what really jumped out was that holding Oliviera to 50 yards less than the Lions surrendered (130 vs 80) helped enable the Argonauts to win last year's Grey Cup. And with the reported holes in the Bomber receiving corps, we can expect more screen and ...

Re: WSF: Lions vs. Stamps
The real key to the victory is that the Lions weren't faced with 3rd and short and having Dominique Davis come in. Agreed- DD has costed you guys at least two games. Yes, it was very interesting that when the Lions faced a second and very short in the second half, they left VA in the driver's seat ...

Re: WSF: Lions vs. Stamps
Incredible how inept looked defensively on Calgary's first possession - and then they essentially held the Stamps to FGs until the game was out of reach. A big stat was allowing only around 77 yards rushing after surrendering 210 two weeks ago. VA might have had his best game - or at least his best ...

Re: Lions vs Calgary West Semi - Keys to the Game
Have to agree with everything here - and glad the discussion included real concerns about Davis on third downs and the unravelling discipline that has gotten so bad that even Betts felt obliged to take an obvious post-whistle penalty to join the flag party last game. Three or four weeks ago the conc...

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...
