Re: Anybody buy this year's replica jerseys?
I bought the Fog Grey VA jersey earlier this year. Am happy with the purchase. Quality is not game-worn but numbers are stitched on so I am satisfied. If you look at Crazy P's (home) jersey up close (those that go to games), it is a true player replica. Quality thickness and stitching, snug fit etc....

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023
* It pains me to say this but we are the Detroit Lions of the CFL. People say we're good, the record reflects it, yet I'm not quite sold. Some teams (a growing list) just come along and expose all our warts. * Bottom line, I don't care what's on the line. All or nothing. But the good teams don't get...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Oct. 20, 2023
My key questions for this match-up are: * Can we match Calgary's intensity? Their playoff lives are on the line while we are more-or-less ensconced in 2nd place (yea, I know there is a mathematical possibility for first place. But I also don't buy lotto tickets for the very same reason). * We know o...

Re: The Last Two Games - What to do?
With a bye week after Friday, I can perhaps see how the staff wouldn't want VA to be too rusty going into the West Semi (or even more unlikely, the West Final), so to play him for a quarter or so seems reasonable. But to trot him out for an entire game given how he could barely put any weight on his...

Re: Lions at Ticats Oct. 13, 2023
The Good: * The club's overall resiliency. Could have folded like a cheap tent after that demoralizing loss to the Bombers, only to have to travel East and play in Tim Hortons Field - not the kindest ballpark to our Leos over the years - and not really a lot on the line. Probably a lot of tight sph...

Re: The Last Two Games - What to do?
I would love to see another RB get a chance over Mizzell just to see if it adds a spark to the running game. How about a 225-pound JaQuan Hardy who they brought back last week? Looks like we're about to find out, SammyGreene. Mizzell did not practice today (ribs). Worth watching in the next couple ...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown
Since all signs point toward this "Gravy Bowl" now becoming a B.C. vs Winnipeg annual event at B.C. Place, I am wondering if the club should consider putting this game on a specific day on the Thanksgiving Day long weekend. My preference would be to play it here at 4:00pm or 5:00pm on Sund...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown
Was no one motioning on the sidelines to GO DOWN!? The play took place on the Lions' side of the field after all. Hell, if I were Campbell, I would be falling to the ground to show him! The whole building could see that he wouldn't make it to the endzone without being tackled given there were only 8...

Re: Chase Claypool
Any idea why Claypool is a locker room cancer? What is he saying/doing? Doesn't like the way he has been deployed? Or is this an off-field thing?
I mean, keeping a guy away from the team (an unsuccessful one at that) while they sought a trade partner is a pretty serious thing.

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown
Concern that the club didn’t adequately self-scout during the bye week. Same issues re-surfaced although we have improved on penalties, and our return game is better. But… Why is Davis continually getting stuffed on 3rd down? Why is Davis still even featured on 3rd and short? He used to occasionally...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown
I am concerned that the way we lost this game could have a detrimental effect on the club down the stretch. To have the win (in the biggest game of the season) in the palm of their hands only be snatched away by poor clock awareness to lose in OT may be something they never recover from. Quite debil...

Re: Riders @ BC Sept 29, 2023
Mizell reminds me of Jim Harrison. Runs to the line of scrimmage and gets tackled for little yardage. For those youngsters out there, Harrison was one of the worst running back to don Lions colours in my opinion. He lasted one season. His longest carry was 10 yards. Jim Harrison was more of a fullb...

Re: Riders @ BC Sept 29, 2023
Haven't heard much about ticket sales. They opened the upper bowl for the first Riders visit back in July, almost prematurely, but I thought the Orange Shirt Day promotion might help the return visit. The Riders' play of late definitely hasn't. Then there's next week which is easy to say will be th...
