Re: Lions and League Free Agents?

If I was OC I'd want 3 QB's that are similar in attributes so the offence game plan doesn't have to change much. Given the last year or two in the CFL, not many QB's last an entire season. On that basis, I'd rule Glenn out as 1st, 2nd or 3rd string. This game requires mobility and the ability to rea...

Re: Fire Benny!!!!!!!

New member here and somewhat reluctant to weigh in on a sensitive subject like this however here are my observations based on a corporate parallel. I worked 30 plus years for a very large corporation. We had a very powerful and successful CEO for ten years whom then bumped up to chair the board. He ...

Re: Introduce yourselves

Hey everyone. I just signed up and posted for the first time on Sunday during the Montreal Meltdown. Long time lurker but I just couldn't hold back any longer. Been a Lions fan since the mid 60's and grew up in the same neighbourhood Willie Fleming lived in Richmond, way back then. Had seasons from ...

Re: Lions @ Alouettes. Game Day Thread. Eastern Semi-Final

Listening to Glenn Suitor he is making (not very) subtle statements about Bene's coaching. Suitor is one of the most knowledgable football commentators in any league.

Re: Lions @ Alouettes. Game Day Thread. Eastern Semi-Final

Yes, but he says it really, really fast so he sounds really, really smart. I can see Benevides on the post game interview. Interviewer: Did the Als surprised you with anything they're doing ? Benevides: Not really, we had the players in position to make plays but they didn't execute. They need to do...

Re: Lions @ Alouettes. Game Day Thread. Eastern Semi-Final

But if it means that we clear house and bring in a new staff with top coaches that can compete with Hufnagel, Jones, Austin, etc, then it was WELL WORTH IT...with Benevides at the helm this team has been on a major slide to the bottom of the league, without him, without any major change in our talen...

Re: Lions @ Alouettes. Game Day Thread. Eastern Semi-Final

First timer here. I just couldn't lurk anymore! Phillips shouldn't have done what he did but that penalty was a joke. No way that should have been called, particularly in a playoff game. But, a team is a reflection of its head coach. When the coach jumps up and down on the sidelines yelling at the r...
