We totally suck. We need a new frickin offensive coordinator! If it weren't for Sask being so brutal, we'd be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs already. Get rid of Chapdelaine and his total lack of creativity now!!!!

I guess my question would be how bad does it have to get, before we can move on from the Wally world era, and what will be his ultimate legacy?

Winingest coach in the CFL, or saddest fall from grace that any coach in the CFL could have ever sustained , and yet have been averted but for his swollen pride?

Lions are 17-25 in their last 42 games.....7-14 in the last 21

Time for some changes

"If there is a higher power let this game come to an end" - so sayeth Rick Ball for the second funniest line of the day.

Funniest to Lionheart for his response to "act like you have been there before."

Hamilton next week should be a cake walk.

His legacy will be as a horrible in-game manager who had some of the most talented teams in BC Lions history and yet only won one Grey Cup with it. Get rid of Wally.

Bad?? definitely....Question is will David Braley finally step in and say something? That will be the only way that anything will change unless Wally throws Chaps under the bus and I doubt that. Next week will see fewer bums occupying seats and revenue disappearing. That is the only message that will make an impact. Braley can't be happy. Hopefully something of some significance will happen and it won't be players disappearing under the wheels.

Not going to happen and not sure I'd like that as changing mid season is not usually ever a good thing.

Wally has been very loyal to JC and MB overall all others. I admire how Wally has helped and mentored Canadian coaches as not all think like him. Not sure these two have risen to the occasion for Wally and if/when WB goes it will likely be MB as the new HC and I do not think he is ready for this.

Regime change is not going to happen and the transition in place doesn't look pretty.

Time for coaches here to man up and admit they are failing their team. It is not just players. Esks can win with Kruck as their receivers coach and Wally said he is not a strong coach. How is that?

I agree, empty seats speaks way louder than this loyal fanbase.

8 runs for 56 yards.

Harris - 4/26 with 12 yards coming on the draw play to end the half.

Robertson 3/27.

Lulay 1/3.

Esk Messam 11/52 yards. He definitely did the right thing with a girl in the dorm.

Lions had 3 possessions in the 1st Q and not one run of the ball. NOT 1.
