Re: Leos/Riders Post Game Thoughts

I won't say it is everywhere but hearing Lions are soft and can't play in cold weather. The Lions D is most definitely Soft as they play a keep everything in front of you and don't get beat deep style. The Riders Harris will dink and dunk his way down the field and thus play a ball control style th...

Re: 2024 Season, Week 21

A wild ending in Montreal, as Sergio Castillo kicked a 51-yard walkoff field goal to give the Bombers a 28-27 victory after missing on the previous series just a minute earlier from 61 yards. The win gives Winnipeg first place and guarantees that the Lions will travel to Saskatchewan next week for ...

Re: 2024 CFL Awards

There ia a lot of politic-ing and negotiating among the sports writers/voters for CFL awards as in "I'll vote for your fav in this category if you vote for my guy in the other category".

Re: Leos/Als

The Lions O showed no new wrinkles or unexpected play calling. Hopefully, and with a week off to end the season, the Lions will maybe actually come up with some plays that the opposition has not seen this season and thus would be unprepared on how to respond....I'm not holding my breath waiting for ...

Nice to see Antwi get some playing time. He seems a bit quicker than Stanbeck but not as hard a hitter. I like both of them.

Re: Lions vs. Alouettes Oct. 19, 2024

"Its not over til its over" might be true but I think it gets trumped by my own saying: "With football you can't just flick a switch and get different results". There needs to be some major changes especially with coaching and that won't happen this season and maybe not next seas...

Re: Lions vs. Alouettes Oct. 19, 2024

Farhan’s indirect way of saying there is much more wrong with this team other than QB was jokingly asking VA yesterday if he could play halfback with his very first question. One of the many questions about this horribly performing defence is Ciante Evans now missing his 3rd straight week for a non...

Re: Lions vs. Alouettes Oct. 19, 2024

Adams needs to get playing time now so both he and Rourke can be available for the playoffs. Whoever starts in the playoff game will know there will be a short leash due to who is backing him up.

Re: Lions at Riders Oct. 12, 2024

I didn't expect a win for the Lions in Regina but this lack of competitiveness was brutal. Out coached once again. Lions were out played and over match at Oline, Dline, and soft D that let opposing receivers get open. Lions receivers struggled to get open, forcing Rourke to throw time and again into...

Re: 2024 season week 18

Rourke right now needs all the playing time/familiarity he can get while Adam's resume is set and he will be in demand by other teams depending more on if some older QBs are ready to retire. What is the short and long term future of Bo, MBT, Harris who are all closer to 40y.o. than 30? And Mair in ...

Re: Leos Stamps Post Game Thoughts

It doesn't matter where in the standings the Lions end up because they do not have the pass defense or the offense consistency to win a playoff game.

While the Lions did come up with a short passing game, resulting in some decent drives, the lack of red zone success (no TDs) was very telling.

Re: Stamps at Lions Oct. 4 2024

Watching the game I was thinking, Betts isn't having much of an impact and then on the very next play he makes the biggest play of the game with his interception return for a TD.

I was also thinking that the Lions D isn't good enough, but then they score or set up most of the Lions points. :dizzy:

Re: Fire campbell

The coaching ranks in the CFL are very thin. Unlike players there is very little depth among CFL coaches. A team cannot just go out and hire a US based coach who has no CFL experience, no matter how good of a US resume he might have. This is why CFL coaches get recycled thru numerous teams so often....
