Re: Lions-Eskimos post-game stats and comments

Excellent (and educational !!) analysis of last night's game. Lots of comments on the play calling. I'm a cable cutter so I did not see the game, so I am assuming that Kahari is on the sidelines calling the play. I'm wondering what the role of the spotters in the upstairs booth in this. Who is the O...

Re: Colin Kaepernick sits during national anthem as a protes

A total distraction that the 49ers don't need. I agree about Kap's protest being a distraction for the team, and also that he could have chosen many other formats for his protest. However, his choice has focussed a great deal of attention on this issue, but unfortunately, it also has focused a lot ...

Re: Khalif Mitchell signed to Rider PR

Say what you will about Jones, but the latest Rider loss was very close game indeed. Missing the convert which would have given the Riders the lead with less than 50 seconds on the clock was not on Jones, but perhaps the Winnipeg runback could be laid at the feet of Jones. If you look at the game st...

Re: Ticats at Lions postgame stats and comments

The Banks return was impressive, he pretty much had 2/3rds of the field to run towards and outran all the Lions that were coming down field. He was past half the team by the 25 yard line. I did think that one of the Lions (it might have been Lulay coming laterally towards the sidelines) was held an...

Re: Lions at Als - Post Game Comments

Lots and lots of positives for the Lions right now. Could easily be 5-1 or 6-0. For the most part, the play of our offensive line has been solid and much better than the past three seasons and a big part of the improved play of our offence. Kinda scary that we gave away a game to Toronto, and Calga...

Re: Calgary @ BC - Game Journal and Post Game Comments

I thought the keys to the win were: 1. Mark Washington dialing up some successful blitzes at key times in the second half. Key stops in the first half were very important. 2. The offensive line improving its passing protection for Jennings in the second half and Jennings settling down with the impr...

Re: Calgary @ BC - Game Journal and Post Game Comments

The first half was pretty ugly, except for the goal line stand, which was the best I've seen for years.... by the late second half, the boys were looking pretty good..... heck, even the felions were looking better by the end of the second half..... amazing how a lead or a win helps my vision.... <sm...

Re: Stampeders vs. Lions Game Day Thread

I'm confident in our receivers, our linebackers, and our defensive backs. The key to success or not for this whole season will be determined by our offensive and defensive line play more than anywhere else on the field. Its going to be an interesting first game to watch. Agreed. I questioned the de...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Glad to see the Lions finally deciding to market the game to the kids. Long overdue. Back in the '90's, along with my season ticket, I was able to get a $33 season ticket for my kid in the Kids Zone section. I was in my regular seat and my son was in the Kids Zone section near the goal line. The Ki...

Re: Hockey Legend Gordie Howe dies at 88

Former Lion Jim "Dirty 30" Young posted yesterday on his facebook page the following story ( link here ) about the time he met Howe in 1980 during his final NHL season, as a Hartford Whaler. I was at a game between the Canucks and Whalers, maybe at the game that Jim is talking about, sitt...

Re: Mini-Camp In The Books

Thanks for posting here, Matt. Good stuff. It reads as though the Staff (do I mean Geroy?) has done a nice job of finding candidates with skills and good attitudes. This is promising for those of us who bleed Orange. I second this comment, Matt. I'm a constant reader of Linebackers, but I think tha...
