According to the Province:

The 62 passing yards allowed by the Lions to Montreal Saturday marked the first time in nearly four decades since they were similarly stingy.

Montreal won't be able to blame the time difference anymore. Didn't matter what time the game started, they were still gonna get throttled with what they showed.

Dispelling one conspiracy theory at a time.

Time zone change affecting oppositions internal clocks....check mark.
Time clock working in Lions favour....definitely can't conclude that after last game, as it wasn't working at all and the Lions were cruising when that happened.
Pumped in crowd noise....even Rod Peterson wasn't able to prove that.
Entertainment value = an all time low

Khreem Smith was fined for his part in the pre-game altercation. I missed this of course. It may have happened even before the doors were open but this was one of the odd games I missed most of the warmups. Certainly seems Smith sent a message to the guys on both benches and had himself a solid game (including a blocked punt). Guess it doesn't pay physically to lip him off.....
