Only 3 games remaining and not much oppourtunity to learn the Offense of a new team. This looks like a "let's see what we got for next year" move by the Patriots and a screw up by the Jags, especially if Lawrence gets ruled out due to concussion for the next game. Hindsight is always 20/2...

In the gate dependent days, teams would schedule the more expensive road trips up front, because they would have the season ticket revenue to fund them. In three season sports travel and logistics in relation to weather still matter somewhat. So the longer east/west trips still tend to happen earlie...

LaPo is just a more telegenic version of Adam Rita.

Having said that, the Winnipeg brain trust in place at the time tried their hardest to shove him out the door in favor of Gary Crowton so...

The Lions aren't winning this game. The defensive scheme isn't built to stop whichever of the two Bombers offenses show up, which I would imagine will be the run heavy one, and the Bombers O Line is better than the Lions D line. They can beat us by out muscling us in the run, or they can beat us by...

Man Bomber fans are so cocky. Just reading some posts from their forum and they seem to think Saturday will be a cake walk for them. Would really like the see the Lions kick the Bombers in the teeth. I don't know about the players, but the fans, after all those banjo bowls don't really have teeth. ...

No. Cottoy has abilities as an in-line de-facto But a football does not bounce predictably, footballs get tipped, and all kinds of things can go wrong for a favorite in a football game. As Yogi said "It ain't over til its over' and at this point, we have a good chance, with those few breaks an...

Just wondering do we have defensive tackles?

No.And when the ones we did have got injured our front office failed to replace them.

The Lions have to tighten up on defence. They’ve gone soft and give up too many easy yards and first downs. They’ve allowed an average of over 30 points a game in the second half of the season. Nearly a 1,000 yards in total offence combined in the last two games — never mind the time of possession....

You gotta win both games. Winnipeg Blue Bombers After an injury to Winnipeg Blue Bombers starting quarterback Kevin Glenn in the 4th quarter of the CFL East Division Final on November 18, 2007, Dinwiddie was pressed into action. He made his first CFL start for the Blue Bombers against the Saskatche...

Win them.

Otherwise, you don't need to be a soothsayer to see the Lions finishing second again, winning the semi, and then being crushed on the Manitoba tundra. The way you counter against this is by playing keep away with the ball when you have it on offense, something this offense is not designed to do (th...

What really concerns me about BC's defense is how soft they are defending stuff out in the flats. I noticed that when I was out in Montreal too. Want to move the ball against them well just let things develop slowly and either run the ball that way or have a receiver slide out there. Guaranteed the...

For this fan Rourke's reads were astonishingly fast. Then the quick delivery, with excellent accuracy. And his escape instincts are out of this world. A lot like Flutie? Absolutely. Of course the NFL did not like Flutie. Too small, etc. Eventually he got some time there, although it was far from op...
