Well, that game was like a microcosm of the entire season for us. We pulled ahead despite the obstacles thrown in front of us - for the season: the QB injuries, for the game: the poor officiating. No matter what the end result in Toronto I think we've proved to be a championship team again in 2007.
Way to go BC!

Way to go Lions! Great season with so many injuries. On another point....I may be in the minority, but I think the CFL officials do a decent job overall. A few missed calls today, but the game is much easier from the stands, and on the tube...especially after the fact. Maybe they should pay these guys a bit more, and get them some more training.....it's not all their fault. Officiating rarely affects the outcome...even tonight.

The officials have a tough job and limited time to make calls to be sure. However, they do have the benefit of the tube during the challenge and it's the inane calls they make in the face of what we can all clearly see that gets people going.hoonsagain wrote:Way to go Lions!

Once again another classless Eskimo defender to join Gass and Braidwood; Goss uses a throat slash when Pierce went down and looked to be possibly hurt
And the garden gnome then goes on to argue the call
I also don't agree with P Jackson's throat slash but it wasn't in the face of an injured player!! I hope Macciocia is allowed to continue to drive the Esks into the sewer for many years to come

Thank you for everything you did for OUR Lions Mr.Ackles, we will never forget you...RIP
AWESOME catch by Clermont and to walk away from that hit like it was nothing... woohoo! Great return from Smart for that TD, our house went nuts.
So if BC got called for objectionable conduct from the bench at the end of the game, what was Danny the chipmunk doing for several minutes after the call on Goss? Oh, I assume he was asking the refs if they're free for coffee tomorrow?? Riiight... he was still beaking off at them a play or two later. Oh well, we sent them packing, that's awesome!
