This is embarassing. We are the worst team in the West right now.

Lions very fortunate to be down by only 12 points

Was there a pre-game speech today? We don't look good. I missed the first few minutes.
John Madden's Team Policies: Be on time. Pay attention. Play like hell on game day.

Jimmy Johnson's Game Keys: Protect the ball. Make plays.

Walter Payton's Advice to Kids: Play hard. Play fair. Have fun.

:bang:

I think that's a safe thing to say. That tie break that Sask has over us may loom large for the crossover spot.

Two dropped passes and 2 and out. Not the sign of a "talented" team

Purifoy is wearing a target on his uniform today. The Redblacks are picking on him relentlessly. The book on attacking the B.C. defence is really simple. Just attack the wide side of the field. It's. been that way for two seasons. The Lions don't have the personnel to defend in space. With Purifoy playing his third new position, it's easy to keep throwing his way until he stops something.

Imagine how entertaining this League could be if we could dress the best 45 players. There's just too many bodies who are in uniform because of their passport.

Today, it shows.

Shaq giving his QB a visual of where he wants the ball .....not a team building move.

Overall they're not in sync yet and only down 12.

The RBs had 3 shots from the 1 but on the TD .. they had seen how Lyndley comes in so str8 up so they might have played him that way.

Wow, did anyone see this coming when we lead Saskatchewan 30-0 a few weeks ago? Since then, we gave up 2 touchdowns and nothing has gone right for us and the West keeps winning.

Lions lack any confidence on O with Jennings at this point. Lulay should get the 3 mins to warm up for the second half.
Entertainment value = an all time low

I for one will be happy if Wally is gone at this year's end. Thanks for all you have done but it is time.

You can't blame the players all the time like Wally does. When is any fault placed at the feet of the Coach or GM?

This team has shown the same bad habits (i.e. bad penatlies) and holes in the line-up on the O-Line and D -Lines for years and that's on Wally.

He is consistently out coached game after game.

This franchise needs new blood, from David Braley right down to Wally and all his minions!
