Wow. What a game.

How's Travis Lulay looking? Not bad? OK? Passable? Good? How about excellent?

Manny Arceneaux is looking once again like that guy the NFL will be looking at.

Great effort. Great CFL game.

Keron Williams played perhaps his best game of the year.

Crawford looks so slow and lost out there. McKenzie just so so. Phillips not that great.

McCallum is Hall of Fame bound.

Tough one to lose. We played it too safe in the 3rd quarter.

Pick plays!

Offside receivers!

Tad CRAWFORD!

[Tighthead]

Was anyone else scared that settling for all those FGs wouldn't be enough? Reminds me of the 2006 GC when we dominated and let Montreal back in.

[KnowItAll]

I am astonished that the lions O did as well as they did with an oline that can not block for either the pass or the run.

[B.C.FAN]

That was a classic game. The B.C. offence deserved more. Lulay took the team on his back and engineered two dramatic comebacks. They might not have been necessary if the receivers hadn't dropped at least four passes in regulation time.

In the end, turnovers and momentum gave the Saskatchewan offence confidence. They exploited David Hyland on the corner, and his missed tackle cost them the game.

Congratulations to the Riders and to Jason Clermont for making his first TD in a Saskatchewan uniform the biggest of his career.

[prairielion]

No doubt we have a keeper at QB. So calm and cool and really in charge out there. Very valuable experience this year. Future looks very bright.

[BEEECEEE]

This game made me a firm believer of lulay. What poise and control in a hostile environment. His passes were beautiful.

If it weren't for the refs been on sask's side we would have won this game. 7 non called offsides. You just have to be a moron to let that go and that's what cfl refs are, absolute morons.

[Big Time]

I could have swore the Riders were offside on the last play in OT. In fact, there were at least five other occasions where there was a Rider in the backfield before the ball was snapped with no call. Just terrible.

[geroy_simon_081]

While this one will hurt, I'm still very proud of my team.
Going from 1-7 to 7-3. We now have a star in the making in Travis Lulay and a host of other young promising players.
I firmly belive next year we will see bigger and better things from this group.
On the bright side, the odds of wining back to back Grey Cups isn't that good. Toronto did it last in '98.

2011 season can't come soon enough...

[Belize City Lion]

Perhaps the best "coming out" game for a QB that resulted in a loss. In both that last drive in the 4th and the first OT, Lulay ascended to the role of undisputed leader of the BC Lions. It's his team now, and we are a better team for that. This game also spotlighted our weaknesses... offensive play calling, safety, and stupid penalties. If we address those three areas we just might be playing at home in the 99th Grey Cup next November.

Lovely captualization of the facts B.C.Fan, and we will be of course be back to threaten the green riders next season, and they will not find us so willing the give unto their cause again.

[1greatmysticbushape]

what a game between 2 talented clubs. I'm not sure I like the mini games to decide OT in the playoffs especially. what are the options?

[prairielion]

Stupid question, but what do you do to create a new topic? Anyone help?

I think we have a good one with Hyland at safety, it's just a shame injuries forced us to move him to corner

[cat_daddy]

Tremendous game...Lulay is a talented leader.

Felt bad for Hyland on the last play...he should have made that tackle, but otherwise has been a great add.

The mini games are a much better alternative than the sudden death that the NFL uses.

Great character for the team to come back from their dismal start. Once the O-Line 'shuffle' was eliminated, they jelled and did a much better job.

Looking forward to '11.
