Re: Grey Cup Tickets

I have my 2 tickets and won't be missing the game; as in 2005 and 2011. Too good to miss.

“At the end of the day I love coach Benevides and I'm going to play for him and in my eyes he's a great coach,” Elimimian said. “Individually, I don't feel guys played to where we needed to play." Further- "And in the opinion of one veteran who may or may not get a chance to play a 12th CF...

Re: Stampeders 33 - Lions 16 Post Mortem

In games which meant pretty much the same to both teams for playoff positions, interesting that the Lions attracted 34,000 to the game on Friday, while the Roughriders drew an attendance just over 20,000. A stark contrast to the semi-final game I attended last year in Regina against the Lions where ...

Re: *poop* year for CFL?

IMO, in order to increase the O play and stats the league needs to put increased restrictions on the amount of contact that a DB can initiate with a receiver. In other words the receivers need a better opportunity for getting open. :2cents: I couldn't agree with the above post more, this is indeed ...

Re: Lions/Als East Semi

Of course, we hope the Lions win the game against Montreal, don't we? We're cheering for them right. Are there Lionbackers here who don't want the LIons to win? Let it out!

Re: Stampeders 33 - Lions 16 Post Mortem

Greatly enjoyed watching the game at the stadium with 34,000 upbeat fans. Too bad so many Lionbackers missed the game. Tough loss, disappointing, but someone's got to lose; the fact is that the Stamps are a better team than the Lions this year - so be it, but the team put in a great effort which is ...

Re: Esks crush the Lions 37-3 -- Post Mortems and Stats

During the Als - Argos game today Dunigan said, regarding the Als mercurial rise in the Eastern standings from the ashes, "the Als have the talent, they just didn't have the system." The same could probably be said of the Lions - they just don't have the system, forlornly evident on the of...

Re: Bombers and Coach O'Shea

Like myself, I wonder if any posters on this website wondered what on earth Drew Willy was doing in the game against the Lions. Considering the pounding he had taken over the season, it was evident to me that he was not himself. Coach O'Shea never even appeared to consider having some mercy on his s...

Re: CFL 2014 Ratings/Standings at 2014 10 20

If the Lions defeat the Bombers then they will tie the Riders with 9 wins. This puts the Lions IMO in a better position to take 3rd place in the West with 2 games remaining. Both the Lions and the Riders will have to play the Eskimos and Stampeders in their last two games, but the Lions will have th...

Re: Benevides Article

Well we are all 'TRUE' fans, IMO. We can get into all kinds of debates over various things. Are on season ticket holders true fans? (not, IMO). It goes on and on, and there is NO SUCH THING that would exclude one claiming to be a BC Lions fan to therefore be a TRUE FAN, IMO. I have spent a variety ...

As a true Lions fan I will continue to be at the games and support the team win or lose , and attend the Grey Cup in Vancouver as well, whether or not the Lions are in it. This...

Re: Bombers and Coach O'Shea

I found O'Shea's coaching decision to bench Grigsby and Kelly very odd, especially (in hindsight) when you consider how few yards Paris Cotton got in the Edmonton game, and how little receiving punch the Blue Bombers had in that game. Therefore I wondered how extreme the Bombers fan base might have ...
