Lions vs. Esks Game Day Thread

[KILLER]

FFS!!!
bad play call there.

[Zarquon]

Buck???

[Tighthead]

Mark Lee, getting one yard on third and two is not "close".

[SammyGreene]

Buck???

Wally has first QB decision to make in 7 weeks.

[Leoninus]

what on earth was that, JJ? thank god for the defense forcing turnovers or this game would be so, so ugly.

[KILLER]

[Stresd]

normal..JJ under 50 percent...

[SammyGreene]

Lions have horseshoes up their a$$ to be tied at 7-7 at the half.

Defence bending but not breaking. Offence has been just brutal other than the short field on the Banks INT. Jackson.... 25 yards passing in the 1st half.

this is a awfull performance on offence, they are luky that the esks do not have a good quaterback in there or this game could be over by know.

I think if they struggle anymore they better our put Buck in.

Half time adjustments are coming, the Lions can't expect to be in this game if they continue to play with zero emotion. Hunt made two nice line tackles and the Lions D is trying to stimulate themselves off of those plays with the jumping and crashing, and even then it looked weak.

Time to go outside with JJ, he isn't doing much sitting in the pocket. The worst though has been the ST play, either receiving or or covering , we are getting thumped on. There is no reason to let that part of our game slip to this standard. Game shouldn't be at this score, the Lions had better not think that the Esks are going to roll over for us.

I think its starting to be evident that while JJ has had some great drives in various games, we have won these games primarily due to defence, special teams and a great running back. While I think it is a little premature to dust JJ, I also think it was a little premature for some posters to declare JJ "the best QB in the league". I do think we have to get all our QBs some playing time (how is why Wally gets the big bucks). Don't get me wrong, JJ is a decent QB - but not great (Buck) or elite (Dave). I give JJ all the credit in the world for holding down the fort in the last few weeks, but this isn't the type of Qbing I want to see in the last few weeks of the season. Yes, I know the game is tied, but that is due to defence.

JJ always plays better after the half, lets wait and see.

[David]

Time to try something different on 2nd and 2 instead of Joe going up the gut. The Esks are clearly stacking the middle and winning the line of scrimmage battle. Why not go outside with the option or insert the 2 back set and put Smart in there for the pitch out??

DH 8)

[KILLER]

weak

[Stresd]

pull the trigger and get Buck in there
