Lions 43 - Alouettes 1 Post Game Stats and Comments

[WestCoastJoe]

Lions had total dominance.

Chapdelaine had a very impressive game plan. Misdirection. Formations. Rollouts. Kept the D off balance.

Benevides also had a great game plan. Pressure. Mixed up the coverages. Took Richardson out of the game.

McCallum. Awesome. Don Sweet says he is the best kicker in the history of the league. Yup. Him and Lui.

Lulay is so impressive. Got some votes for MOP. Wally kept him in just a bit too long.

Andrew Harris is a very, very smart player. He knows how to hide, then slips out of the backfield.

Fewest sacks allowed, 29. IMO a credit to Chapdelaine's game planning amongst other things.

Great game... When can I order my WF tickets?

signature officially changed! excellent job WB, MB, and The Chap... great game Lions! From worst to first.... FIRST IN THE ENTIRE CFL!!! 2 more wins to cap off the most unbelievable season ever. Let's go Leos!!

[joe kapp22]

McCallum wound up leading the league in scoring, I think we passed WPG for the sack lead if we had 5 sacks or so, and I think Lulay maybe passed up Calvillo for the TD lead.

Looking forward, Geroy will break the yds record early in 2012.

What a great great season this has been..so far!

I noticed Wally looked massively unhappy on the sidelines even when we had the game wll in hand, bet he is worried about keeping the guys on point for two weeks when they are playing this well.

Just a dominant game from start to finish. Equally as dominant as the 42-5 win against the Riders in Regina. Amazing season. One of the most amazing seasons I've ever witnessed. Two more games, boys. Bring it home!!!

[geroy_simon_081]

Not to say "I said so" - but I said so.
Nothing else to add...
This team is the team to beat, better than 2006 BC Lions and are 2 wins away from re-writing history.

(Edited for confrontational comment - Mod staff). I stuck with this team when they were in the dumps (seems like an eternity ago) and believed it them. I believed in them after their loss to Hamilton when everybody was ready to abort ship, believe in them through all their injuries, believed that they would handle the alouettes (which they did). In other words, it feels a lot better when you've been emotionally involved with the team since the beginning - which I'm sure all of you have been as well.

Enjoy it fellow Lion fans. Our team is 1 win away from playing for the Grey Cup on home turf. This is Vancouver's REAL championship worthy team.

I've been watching this Club since 1954. I don't think I have ever seen the Lions field as well-balanced, talented squad as this one. Regardless of the next two games, they have been a delight to watch develop and grow.

Well done Lions!

[SammyGreene]

From 1-6 to this. Simply amazing and remarkable!!!! Now two weeks to soak in the build up to hosting the Western Final with being the host team for the Grey Cup game now just 60 minutes away.
What a time to be a Lions fan.

Western Final tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Must be one of AC's worst games ever. He could not handle the pressure of the Lions' D. IMO if we don't pressure him, he has his normal 300 yard game.

Amazing. Korey. Tad. Ryan helping. Great job.

[joe kapp22]

2 things really surprised me about this game, and final stats:

-Gore's first Td.
-Andrew Harris wound up with about 480 yds

Both seemed like they did better this yr.

Looking ahead, who do we get back for the WDF?

Amp Reddick and Keron Williams, do we get Foster back?

Lulay finished with 36 td's/12 int's, amazingly productive when he had only 6/5 to begin the yr.

[lion24]

I am still not removing my paper bag as ever since I put it on the Lions have played outstanding!!

[TheLionKing]

I expected alot more from the Als given the magnitude of this game. With the exception of the 1st drive, BC was in total control. In another thread I said the key to beating the Als is pressure, pressure, pressure and more pressure. Lions brought pressure and they held Calvilllo in check. One of the worst game I've seen Calvillo played. In all fairness, he didn't get much help from his receiving core.
