Re: The Offensive....Line....

The last two games Norman has not started and I don't think he got many plays. i don't think he would have done any worse than Valli. I guess they were trying to get things to gel with the more experienced guys knowing that Norman is now gone back to school. Nevertheless it is time for the new HC to...

Re: Bombers fire head coach LaPolice

Because Kavis Reed is a quality guy and quality coach, it matters a little less what Tillman does. Tillman otoh is a quality GM, less so as a guy.

Re: JC to tweak the O - Ullrich; Lulay and the O - MacIntyre

Lulay needs to watch some old videos of Danny McManus going deep to beat the blitz. Everyone knew he wasn't going to out run the blitz! The ball needs to be released before the receiver breaks free of the DB. Throw it up and let the boys run under it. Worst case scenario on a deep ball is that if a ...

Re: Sean Whyte vs Paul McCallum

One thing that I find strange. Mike Reilly is the holder and back up kicker so if McCallum can't play, Lions have to go with a new holder and FG kicker.

Re: Ticket Prices / Lions' Marketing

I think Lions would benefit from discounting (1/2 price) the upper 3/4 or 1/2 of the upper bowl without upsetting season ticket holders. Do it in the off season and then people who want to give up season tickets to save $ by going to cheaper seats can do so. Also people who want to up grade their se...

Re: Sol E

Sol E should take a NFL practice squad position if offered as it pays about 90k and while the Lions could compete with that number, it would be half that for half a remaining Lions season. Then he could see if there are any NFL offers in the Spring or resign with the Lions for 2013.

Re: Bombers fire head coach LaPolice

Wally is talking like he is still part of the coaching fraternity and I say good for him. IMO Wally is a conservative, cautious sort of guy so I like it when on occasion he is outspoken and somewhat controversial. It gets writers writing and fans talking so its good PR regardless of what side of the...

Notahomer, I like your post except I disagree with your picks. BCs O line is still struggling with pass protection so this week Iamahomer.

Re: Eskimos Beat Toronto....again

Twice in the game Argos punted from the goal line or inside the end zone instead of giving up a safety and both times Esks kicked FGs. Not how I would have called it. Tillman appears to be proving is critics wrong and RR didn't look sharp again. If RRs play doesn't start improving soon, then the que...

Re: Bombers fire head coach LaPolice

Wasn't LaPolice calling plays last year (a trend these days in the NFL for HC with an O background) but forced to have an OC call plays this year. If this is the case then imo it is wrong as the HC needs to have the final say about who his staff are and what his staff does.

Re: Bombers fire head coach LaPolice

A lot of the time a struggling team wins the next game or two with the new mid season replacement HC, then they fall back into their old loosing ways. Bombers play Riders in the next two games so here's hoping tradition rules. :pray:

Re: Back to Back versus Montreal....

Lions may have used up all their ``luck`` against Bombers in that late desperate long pass to Gore and the timing of the last pass to Simon. Was that the best time for Lulay to throw his most accurate pass of the game or what. It seems to me that a team only gets a certain number of late game ``ever...

Re: Wally Buono shuns the forefront

Wally is a great GM and was a great coach but he is a lousy public speaker who uses too many catch phrases and seems uncomfortable in his delivery. Content is usually fine, so imo he needs to take some public speaking courses. Mike Benevides may turn out to be a great coach. His pre and post game in...
