Bombers vs. Lions Game Day Thread - Round 2

[Sir Purrcival]

If we lose this game it totally looks possible right now, I think the Lions may have to consider going with Lulay when you are getting to crunch time. We had a 10 point lead and have pissed it away and are about to be down.

Here's an exclusive look at our playbook for this evening:

Hey look, there's a novel idea. When you're trying to kill time and go for the win, you run the freaking ball .

[Sir Purrcival]

I am soooo angry right now.

[swervynmerv]

This is an absolute joke.

I tune into the game to see the Lions go up by 10 and now this? No wonder the Lions can't get fans back into the building!

[Sir Purrcival]

How important was the missed FG earlier right now.

Has Wally seen Leone miss enough yet?

[Sir Purrcival]

apparently not

[swervynmerv]

An absolute embarrassment tonight

[swervynmerv]

The Lions are in trouble.

Games left against Edmonton and two against the Riders. With the way both teams are playing, the Lions could lose all three!

[Sir Purrcival]

All I have to say is the Lions lost this. Have done it two weeks in a row and frankly and delusions that they might have been a cup contender have evaporated. They have lost two crucial games and have virtually had control of both of them. A total breakdown at all levels of the game and frankly fans should be angry. I know I am. These guys have the talent but don't have the brains. Simple as that. I'm sure there will be much more detailed breakdowns but they have crapped their own sheets and if they make it to the playoffs, they are going to be on the road which maybe better for them in the long run. Shameful performance in a crucial game.

[cromartie]

Well, this was a joke of a finish to add on to an undisciplined joke of a first half.

Or, if you'd prefer, it's really just a regression to the mean of a team that overachieved in the first half of the season.

Coming out of that terrific goal line stand (that was only necessary because of a garbage PI call) with a pass play and five man protection against rush ends that spent most of the game eating your tackles' lunch was completely inexcusable. You run the ball on that drive, at worst gain the field position battle and leverage your offense to give your defense some rest and breathing room up seven. This is basic offensive play calling. Completely inexcusable.

The definition of desperation is...needing the worst kicker of the last decade to kick the longest field goal in history to tie the game.

Well yes, but it would have been good from, oh 56 or so. So he has that going for him.

Didn't the Lions have a timeout before Winnipeg last field goal. Abother 20 secs. ThnxBB
