Re: Leos/Als Keys to the Game

LU was just on 1040 and said that John Beck did not pass the concussion protocol this week (which explains Kevin G staying in last game), so it looks line our QB's will be Kevin Glenn, Travis1 and Travis2. Picking up the blitz from the outside by Lumbala is certainly a major key, but giving the QB s...

Re: Stampeders 33 - Lions 16 Post Mortem

Hi all, I'll add my 2 bits worth. I'm a seasons ticket holder and go to all the games and watch the away games on TV. I guess you could call me a Lions fan. I listened to the Moj post game show on Friday and have to agree with the frustration of the fans. Moj and Burnsy might be correct from a foot...

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

Lowell Ulrich has provided a summary of this game in the online Province, much, much better than I could do, but his words echo my thoughts exactly. I wish I could embed the link, but its a must read. He uses the word "pathetic"..... correctly, and in the right context.

Re: Eskimos crush the Lions -- Post Game Stats and Comments

Well, it looks like the warts that have been obvious all season, but covered up the last three weeks, were laid bare for all to see. From Glenn playing on a "wing and a prayer" basis to Parks consistently being beat, it was a complete washout.... Sure, Soli got his mark, but I'd have been ...

Re: Lions 41 - Ottawa 3 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

Excellent summary Blitz. During the game, I said to my seat mate that some of the plays from our Leos were a surprise to me. And if I was surprised, then the Redblacks must have been too. I like the play action-misdirection plays and it was nice to see more of them. On the O-Line, I thought Jermarcu...

Re: Fire Khari Jones

The problem with a tread such as this one is that while it amy allow for some fan-venting, it doesn't really provide much of a direction ahead. So the Lions fire the OC and maybe the OL coach and receiver coach.... so what.... then you have to replace them with... who??? Yes, Bates might be a replac...

Re: TSN New Website is Crap!!!?? Is this just me? haha

I don't like the new TSN site either. I do not find it useful and am going there fewer and fewer times. I was pissed that they stopped making the games available as a video (after the broadcast) but figured it was part of their business model. I don't subscribe to cable so I don't watch TSN on TV. N...

Re: Leos/Stamps Keys to the Game

In comparison to Mitchell, we give up a little bit of height with both, but more importantly, we give up 25-30 lbs. Given the Stamps very good OL, this (replacement of Mitchell) could be one of the keys to the game by itself....

Re: Lions vs. RedBlacks Game Day Thread

I was off the grid all weekend so only learned of the game and Lulay's injury tonight. I've been watching all the videos I can grab and methinks that it might have been getting squished by Brandon that knocked out the shoulder. If so, that's the unkindest cut of all.... This year really is the year ...

From Ed Willes today.... <The Lions also brought in two new players on Sunday: offensive tackle Cory Brandon and long snapper Mike Benson. Brandon, who played at Oklahoma and was cut by the Seahawks last week, took first-team reps at left tackle and figures to start against Ottawa for non-import roo...

Re: Lions 41 - Alouettes 5 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

Terrific analysis Blitz. I also like what I am seeing on the field. Benevides was toned down, but he was still waving his arms about trying to get players attention while his OC was standing right next to him signalling the play. My thought is that he feels "lost" on the sidelines without ...

BC Lions history - Randy Duncan

Some us old-timers may remember when the CFL would out-bid the NFL for star players coming out of college. That is how the BC Lions signed Randy Duncan to be our QB. He was here for 2 years before a stint down south and retirement to a life as a lawyer and family man. By a strange twist of fate, I'v...

Re: Used T-Shirts Anyone?

Yeah, they are all XL except 1999 Grey Cup which is L. The 1994 Grey Cup is faded from washing, but the others were not or hardly worn.

Used T-Shirts Anyone?

I'm downsizing (everything except my waistline!) and have some BC Lions t-shirts that I'm wondering if there is a home here instead of dropping them off at the DevBC clothes bin. Shirts are "Love ya Lui", 1994 Grey Cup, American Cup 1998, BC Lions insignia shirt, BC Lions 2000 Grey Cup, 19...
