Re: Who is responsible for the sad state of our team?

Two people: i) Dennis Skulsky for the declining attendance and his inability to address this issue other than blocking off sections of the stadium and raising prices in the once lower priced sections so the Lions' make a profit. So much for his "business plan Yep. 2016 season ticket renewal pa...

Re: Sekeres: Tedford's job on the line

Have to say I'm extremely disappointed to hear this news about the Lions coaching situation, if it is in fact true. I don't see how the Lions can maintain any credibility if they were to let Tedford go, especially after the fanfare around hiring him. I personally don't think his game coaching has be...

Re: 1991 vs. 2000 BC Lions - Which team do you like more?

Normally I would go with a championship season over any regular season but this is a good topic because it's not as clear for me. When the Lions got Doug Flutie in 1990/91, the city got Lions fever like it rarely has ever had since. There was something magical about the way Doug Flutie played. No ma...

Re: Solly tears Achilles - placed on the 6-game IL

Devastating. No way he comes back after 6 games. That's a season ender and could affect his mobility in future seasons. Terrible, terrible news for SolE and the Lions.

Re: Converts: 1 point or 2?

Have to admit I thought this rule change was gimmicky and didn't make much sense when it was announced. I was okay with the PAT being moved back to the 32 but I did not like the two point conversion being moved up to the 2 yard line as it makes it too much of a gimmy. With that being said, these cha...

Re: Lions 27 @ Riders 24 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

It's funny because I actually see some parallels with the Riders to the 2011 Lions. From what I recall, the 0-5 start for the Lions included several close losses where the difference was really just a few plays. I remember thinking at the time the Lions were very unlucky to be 0-5 and that if the re...

Re: Comprehensive penalty analysis for 2015

I agree that penalties like offside are preventable. However for me it's not as simple as saying these PI penalties are preventable and up to the players to adjust. When the league announced its new rules for PI in the off season, I posted on this forum how much I HATED this change. My quote from th...

Re: Travis "Freaking" Lulay

Wow. If you haven't seen this video, you need to watch it. I wish the Lions would package this as part of their marketing plans. Pure emotion and joy on display. You can see how much the team cares about each other, and especially Lulay. This is what it's all about. Beautiful.

Re: Lions 35 - Riders 32 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

I have zero problem with what Harris said. He's right! Unless you have a legit reason to be somewhere else, why are you leaving early? So you can beat the traffic by 5 minutes? I've never understood this at any sporting event. I always stay until the end precisely because of what happened last night...

Re: Lions 35 - Riders 32 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

I'll have more to say about this later but I want to add a couple of things. I hope Paul McCallum was watching because that kick by Leone was the reason he's out of a job here. We wouldn't have even considered that kick last year. Hell we could have been 15 yards closer and the Lions STILL probably ...

Re: Lions O Line for 2015

Was very disappointed by last night's game. Reminded me far too much of last year. Terrible tackling, terrible execution. I know that there will be penalties and bad plays in every game. HOwever little things like clock management at the end of the first half piss me off more than anything else. I l...

Way too easy for Ottawa out there. Lions have no ferociousness. Playing like kitty cats.

Lions killing themselves, and me, with all these missed opportunities. Unbelievable miss by Phillips and now he looks injured.
