Re: Lions 26 - Bombers 9 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

A win is a win is a win. Congrats Lions.

A short work week, now it's on to the next big game: this Friday against Toronto.

Re: Lions 7 - RedBlacks 5 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

So much arrogance (we pay your salary) and entitlement (ugh, win wasn't decisive enough).

Re: Bo knows Lions - Lokombo in the fold.

Good news! We certainly need some. Welcome to the program, Bo.! By the way, I noticed Danny Watkins is no longer on the Dolphins roster. Has he surfaced somewhere else or may we (hopefully) see another signing? Watkins was cast loose by Miami several months ago. They only signed him for 1 year last...

Re: Lions 7 - RedBlacks 5 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

Let's say you spend eight years in a relationship with someone who is physically abusive. Then, your next relationship is with an alcoholic. Do you spend a lot of time wistful for the days someone said I love you while they were beating you up? No? Then stop asking this stupid question. Did you rea...

Re: Lions 7 - RedBlacks 5 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

A win is a win is a win, style points not given. Bank the two points, get a good week of work in for Winnipeg next Saturday.

Sucks to see Travis go down again, but next man up. Your turn Kevin...

Re: Lions 16 - Roughriders 20 -- Post Game Stats and Comment

Time to step back and look at the big picture: if somebody had told me that we'd be 5-4, after all these personnel and staff changes, with our franchise QB having dressed (not played any significant time) for two of the nine games? And still in the mix for the division? I'd take that all day. I can'...

Re: the worst eastern division since 1981 ?

For what it's worth Bodog has now made the Calgary Stampeders as the odds favourite to win the Grey Cup followed by Saskatchewan Roughriders, Edmonton Eskimoes and the Lions. ... yet it's not out of the question that one of these teams could actually miss the playoffs altogether. :dizzy: I think th...

Re: Lions 16 - Roughriders 20 -- Post Game Stats and Comment

If you are going to shoot down my choices, why not put yourself out there and come up with some names? Why should I? I'm not part of the Fire Everybody (aka the grass is always greener) camp. I've been advocating staying the course for the longest time: Benny, Mark and Khari are still learning on t...

Re: Lions 16 - Roughriders 20 -- Post Game Stats and Comment

Throw enough money at Paul LaPolice to be the Head Coach instead of the Offensive Coordinator and you'd get him back on the field, especially considering the relatively long leash he'd get under his friend and GM Wally Buono. This is still a gate driven league to some extent, and the current staff ...

Re: Lions 16 - Roughriders 20 -- Post Game Stats and Comment

Not viable till the end of the year but Dave Dickenson stands out for me. I would also consider Matt Dunnigan. There is no point speculating about it however. No way any change happens until the end of the season and maybe not then even if we miss the playoffs. Wally doesn't pull these triggers ver...

Re: Lions 16 - Roughriders 20 -- Post Game Stats and Comment

.what happens if this team doesnt make the post season? They already lost close to $1 million on the guarantee gimmick. Lose out on playoff money and the coaching staff is fired. Simple as that. And replace the staff with whom? Show me some viable candidates. Benny might be on the hot seat, but aga...

Re: Cohon done as COMMISSIONER

Thanks Mark Cohon, you did an outstanding job. :beauty:

Who is Cohon's #2? Is there maybe a David Stern/Adam Silver type transition coming?
