Re: Who Will be Fired First

If you are looking at a coach and asking who could step in where easily. I would have to think Stubler. Claybrooks is a former DC. He could do that job as HC pretty easy. Finding a new OC might be a challenge and the teams, well if I had to look at the part of the team that has more riding on it fo...

MIke O'Shea a former special teams coach is relishing the prospect of facing the Lions' inept special teams. He'll have some trick plays prepared.
And even more so , our useless DC . Stubler is still here so a guaranteed loss .

Re: Lions at Ticats Aug. 10, 2019 post-game thread

Hamilton took 14 penalties. The Lions took 6. Blaming a call or non-call for the loss is ridiculous. I agree. We still may have found a way to piss this game away even if we did get that holding call. We melted down at the worst possible time (again). This needs to be examined more closely than a n...

Re: Lions at Ticats Aug. 10, 2019 post-game thread

On the game other than that no-call. Jarious Jackson earned a reprieve , Stubler did not . Some are calling for firings to happen , others say stay the course . I fall into the middle of this . At this point there is one firing that could be made that would be doable and still stay with in the cap ....

Re: Lions at Ticats Aug. 10, 2019 post-game thread

I have a theory in sports. Bad teams don't get any breaks from the refs. https://twitter.com/i/status/1160374415722291201 DH :cool: I saw that immediately when it happened and replayed a number of times. That missed call was the straw that broke the camels back and allowed the returner the big retu...

Re: Will Lions Cut a Vet Before the Deadline

I'm just going to say if they lose 2 of the next 3, then cuts will be coming. The cuts should come from positions that aren't very effective anyway. Defensive line, Offensive Line, are the two most likely areas where cuts could happen. I wouldn't think that a Reilly trade would be out of the questi...

Re: 2019 CFL Season

So with the Argos beating the Bombers, we're bound to be ranked #9 next week. And the QB we discarded, our #3 last year (Fajardo) is the hero tonight and is looking like a steal of an acquisition for the Riders. It's been one of those years.... :sigh: DH :cool: And rightfully so . Seeing Fajardo's ...

Re: Are We Now Officially the Worst?

I agree we are worse than the Argos and I fully expect them to lose against Hamilton. Their defence really looks good and will feast on Reilly. Lions have surprisingly been very quiet this week. Other than the trade on Sunday, they have made no other moves. If that is the only move Ed Hervey makes ...

Re: Are We Now Officially the Worst?

We are the worst team in the league . We have the worst offense and the worst defense . This is not just a a personnel issue as some seem to think . Some are willing to admit this about our coaching on the offensive side . Few are willing to admit this same issue about our defense . We are actually ...

Both Claybrooks and Stubler have coached championship defenses.
So has Wally Bouno .

Zero pressure for the 7th game and counting. Is that personnel or Stubler's tired old scheme that opposing offenses have been facing for so long they know exactly what is coming.
It's the tired old schemes that every opposing offense knows like the back of their hand .

Re: Can Ed Hervey Turn Lions Around This Season

Mike O'Shea , HC of the Bombers went 7-11 his first season , then 5-13 his second season . Back then it did not look like he would last much longer . Now he Has his team at the top of the league . Sometimes it takes time for a new HC to get a team going . Bombers could have fired O'Shea after those ...

I keep hearing that the Lions is a talented team. Have I been watching the wrong team ? The team I've been watching in Black and Orange sucks in every facet of the game.
Coaching matters too. We got the worst OC and the worst DC in the league . It's not just players .

If Jarious Jackson still has a job after this week I will not renew my seasons tickets.
But your perfectly ok with the defensive coordinator?
