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

Well, I usually come out to a couple of games a year from Winnipeg but I now have a 4 figure amount I can use for something else. I've been a fan since I was 10 and living in Richmond. I'm 71 now and can't believe what I'm seeing. I certainly won't be watching another Montreal type team in the "...

Re: Coaching or Lack of it?

Is this the return of Wally , Version 2.0. I usually come out for 1 or 2 games from Winnipeg but certainly won't waste my money this year. I have no idea of where the problems are although I think "Jarious" is a huge issue but it's more than him. Perhaps if this season turns out badly and ...

Re: TiCats 48 - Lions 8, Post-Game Stats and Comments 20181111

The Lions have been going backwards since the passing of Bobby Ackles. I for one will be glad to see the whole coaching staff being given "an apple and a road map." Wally's best before date started started in 2008 . Yes new ownership is needed and thanks for your efforts and cronyism Wally...

Re: Stampeders 27 - Lions 18, Post-Game Stats and Comments

The problem is WALLY... Since the passing of Bobby Ackles in 2008, Wally has had free rein with the team and it has spiraled downwards and come to this. Bobby Ackles was the brain and the heart of the Lions not Wally. Imho Wally was/is incapable of putting a competitive team on the field . 2011 was ...

Re: Leos Want to Roar Against Stamps

As much as I hope you are right, I don't this team is capable of winning under Wally. He is not, in my humble opinion, plugged into today's coaching style. He calls a very cautious game and seems to handcuff our coordinators with his way of thinking. I remember when Dave Ritchie was defensive coordi...

Re: RedBlacks 29 - Lions 25, Post-Game Stats and Comments

Personally I think Wally was and is the problem and will be glad to see him gone. O and D line has been horrible for the last 4-5 years. A total revamp is coming next year hopefully and if I was a coach I'd be looking at my options. Wally's day and ideas were done long ago...I hope the team is SOLD ...

Re: 2018 season

I'm curious as well. I wonder if Wally will bend to what Hervey wants to see? I don't think Wally wants to go out as the coach who wouldn't let his coaches be innovative. That's already there so it will be interesting to see what happens. Sometimes miracles happen.....

Khari Gone???

According to TSN's Farhan Lalji, the B.C. Lions have parted ways with multiple coaches. The list includes offensive co-ordinator Khari Jones, special teams coach Marcello Simmons, defensive line coach Robin Ross and Receivers coach Marcel Bellefeuille.
Great news if it's true

Re: Football Operations: GM, Head Coach, Coaching Staff?

Someone once said "fool me once, shame on me" and we are at fool me 3,4 or 5 times..I've lost count. I don't believe that any sales job can sell this team until Wally and his "******" coaches are gone. This team just needs one coach to stand up to Wally and tell him that the leat...

Imagine what the Lions could do with good coaching and an O-line that isn't offensive.

Re: Is it time to institute replay for helmet to helmet contact?

I like the Seattle idea but unsure of replay for helmet to helmet contact. It should be available to the to the officiating crew but only if there is a serious possibility of helmet to helmet contact on the play. As for the leather helmet idea, I'm sure Wally still has his as well as film from showi...

Re: Eskimos vs. Lions Game Day Thread

I read the post by Blitz expressing his opinions of why the Lions won early in the season and why they are failing to win in the latter part of the season. I agree with his views. Cam Cole wrote a column yesterday and included in it was a comment by Wally " For the CFL to prosper, we have to do...

Re: Bellefille to join Lions:

Bombers fired him. Their offence was horrible and it wasn't because Paul LaPolice was available that he was fired. There were numerous calls for his head by sportswriters and fans in Winnipeg before the end of the season. Will he work out in B.C....well hopefully he does but don't be surprised if he...

Re: Harris Basically Says Good Bye

Perhaps he lost the title because Wally didn't want to pay him the "bonus" in his contract. Sit AH down and he can't win it. I wouldn't put it past Wally to do that when you have to consider that Wally probably wouldn't offer AH enough to stay with the team.
