[ I think what John Henry's hinting at is that we should fire Warren, Keep DD as QB and sign CP as Running Back! :lol: Just Kidding! OK.. Now there is a plan. Put Casey Printers at RB and bring back that old halfback option stuff!!! Blitz could be scheming that as we sleep tonight!!! Maybe CP could...

This is a tough call that has a lot of factors for the club to consider. I will be happy either way.

This is certainly a very sad loss for the Lions and to not see them hold this trophy. How many of you stayed for the presentation anyways? I saw it from a distance. Thanks to all of you who participated in my thread. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Gallery/2005/11/20/VCRX1142.jpg There is a really tellin...

He will be busy today dedicating this day and his term of office to JAMES GREEN who without him on the ballot would have put Jim Green in the Mayor's chair. I haven't seen that dirty trick used that well since the 1960s in Quebec when there would be like four Rene Tremblay's on the ballot to defeat ...

I got one Dickinson or Dickenson? I am confused - I have read this so many different ways including references to him at his university as recently as the past week and to his mother who I think is a State Rep to the Montana legislature. http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/lions/story.html?id=...

Happy Remembrance Day to all at Lionbackers.com. Hopefully you and your families will have a moment to recall all those who have served and who serve the cause of freedom in Canada's armed forces. November 11 is not a day to memorialize war but to celebrate peace among nations and to remember the sa...

Calgary to beat Edmonton this week as the Esks get embroiled in an internal QB controversy following the great play of their back up off the bench and tossing the first TD by an Esk QB in weeks!

I like Reynolds potential.

Therefore, Roberts over Reynolds.
I agree... Reynolds is all upside from here. Roberts is proven himself over the years including consistency.

In my Coquitlam neighbourhood, the fireworks didn't really start until AFTER midnight which is annoying as it disturbs our dog and kept me awake on and off when he'd respond by growling. There didn't seem to the usual large gathering down the street at that idiotic 711 in the Westwood Plateau but th...

I'd like to see the Lions in a position to play more than QB in a game if for no other reason to mix it up and put hot D's off their game a bit. The issue for DD is likely getting over the head injury. Carravatta made a good point on this. Maybe the Lions just had him dress and go through the pre-ga...

Wally has seen enough, and probably heard enough of CP this year. If we see him again, if ever, I will be surprised. DD will run the table now. Was not impressed with CP this game, all he had to do was move the ball 40 yards then punt and we would've been ok...but we saw what happened against Mtl s...

I like our chances best vs Calgary as they still have a ways to go in building a consistent performer vs Edmonton where Ray can light a team up in one shot game like a playoff.

The point is a good one though. The Canucks game at the same time affects attendance for the Lions whether is some who went to the Canucks or some who chose to stay home as they believed it would be too busy with traffic. Either way, the Canucks should try and avoid the CFL home games for BC as it i...

With all the talk about DD and CP and BP Where do you guys see JJ next year? That's an interesting question, mightybuck...for which I have no answer or even reasonable speculation. Jarius Jackson had his season - at least to date- botched when he injured his thumb/hand on the first play of the firs...
