One rule I'd sure like to see is to make it a penelty for receivers or QB's to make over the top protests to the officials when they feel they've been interfered with. I don't particularly like the NFL, but I must say I really respect the dicipline and professionalism of the NFL players and the resp...

Well, that will teach me to log on and post at 3:38AM after being out all night. Oh wait, I'm doing it again. I better make tracks before something else happens!

Sorry to jump in the middle of this discussion. Sincerely, I hope his medical condition will get sorted out, and he'll have a chance at the NFL at some point. But WOW! Oh WOWOWOWOW! That is great news for BC! Astonishing off season this year. I have been speechless about a half dozen times. I honest...

Man this has been the wildest off season I can remember. I really didn't see this one coming. Good comments here by everyone. I hope it all turns out okay for JJ, he's been a good member of the team for a good long while.

I kind of thought it was the Dickenson offense that send him downhill. You may indeed be correct Toppy, but it's all the more weird because Reynolds was at his very best 2009 when DD was the Stamps running back coach. It was widely held that Dickenson's coaching was a big factor in Reynolds rising ...

This thread would be best served with a big meal of crow for many Lionbackers. :wink: Prior to game 6 of last season Chapdelaine deserved all the brick bats that were thrown his way. No running game, predictable playcalling, nothing to counter the blitz No Duff TheLionKing! What is going on around ...

Well, it's a really tough thing to celebrate, and it's a tough thing not to celebrate. On one hand after years of hamstringing the offence he was long overdue to be fired 5 games into the 2011 season, but on the other hand if Chaps had been fired 5 games into 2011 the Lions definitely woulld not hav...

That sounds a lot like some of the suggestions from fans when the Lions surrendered an average of 32 points in losing their first 5 games in 2011. Fortunately, the head coach was patient and his patience was rewarded. I guess you must have been on vacation for the two prior seasons when Chaps was d...

Some guys adjust well and others meddle with the coordinators and fail to set the right tone and fail. Or their leadership style doesnt fit. Why do you think Greg Marshall didn't make it with the Riders, what were the factors at work there? It seems like the GM was doing most the tinkering there, b...

Wow, what an amazing off season. I think my jaw has dropped more times since december than it did during the regular season. The East is going to be a wicked battleground next year! So yeah Cortez, this is a surprise, but a pleasent one. I really hope he does well. There's something about the Ti Cat...

WB's going to have to replace both co-ordinators, if indeed Benny moves to the big chair. If you think Chap would work for Mike, I have a bridge that I'd like to sell you. I don't think many here will shed any tears if that's the way it plays out. After all the majority of patrons here have been cr...

It brought tears to my eyes, man. Thanks for posting.

Going into this season and even during our losing streak I believed our Leos were the most talented team in the league. If that's really the case you had more faith than I did during that skid... lol, I'm so glad I misplaced my password to login to lionbackers.com for the first 8 games or I would b...

Amazing improvement on the special teams! (apart from that one krazy kick return mishap)

Seriously, if our special teams didn't play as well as they did we might not have won that game. And if the special teams can do that the rest of the way we are in really good shape!

With a few exceptions, Special Teams has been the Archilles heel for the Lions all season. They don't need to be tweeked as much as a complete overhaul. It is frustrating to work your butt off to score only to have the other team get the ball back at center field. New guy Saunders looked pretty pro...
