Playoff bound.
FG. 42-32.

Great great win. At 3-6 no way this fan thought they would make the playoffs.
The question is now do we want to go East or West route?
My prediction, we go East and play the Bombers in a 2011 rematch.
Of course the Lions win again!!

Well, in some ways, it would look to be the better way to go but no team has ever successfully made it to the Grey Cup via the cross over. However, the Lions have done the improbable a couple of times so if any team might accomplish it, they might.
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.

Lots of post gane thoughts and look forward to the usual great posts from others on the board.
Some things on my mind:
1. So happy for Travis Lulay. What a warrior and the ultimate Lion! It would be awesome for him to win another championship.
2. I among others blasted our coaches early but they deserve credit for making adjustments during the season and within games. At 3-6 it would have been easy to pack it in. Would you want to play BC in a playoff gane right now?
3. Ed Hervey made some good moves in the off season but didn’t stand pat in season either. Posey, Lemon and Sutton were all great pickups. Kudos to him!

Sacks by Foster, Lemon, Coleman and Willis.
Lokombo and Herdman very capable NAT LBs.
..........
3rd quarter.
Edmonton. Punt, Punt. Punt.
BC. Lulay to Posey times 3 for 3 TDs, with boost from Burnham for 55 yards.
..........
Posey big time explosion. 113 yards. 3 TDs.
Burnham 71 yards. 1 TD.
Sutton good production. 16 for 97 yards. Love the hustle of Figueroa.
........
Rainey gave us one helluva spark. Not quite up the middle. 2 or 3 cuts and he was gone. 95 yards when we needed it. Like the cover team was not even there. No one close to him.
.........
Passing game major contributions. Posey a nuclear weapon. Lulay throwing some beautiful passes. Some rollouts, shovel pass, separation on routes,
Running game also.
Defence made life tough for Reilly.
STs contributed. Long is money.
When you get all that, you are in the game and a good bet to win.

The rushing from Edmonton was crazy! CJ Gable, 11 yards on 6 carries ?!?. Holy crap.

Several times in the recent seasons, there's lot of uncertainty as to whether the Lions would finish between 2nd to 4th in the west. If the Lions win the next game against the Roughriders as well as the season finale against the Stampeders at home, they still have a chance to finish as high as second west and the right to host the west division semi-final. And that's the best scenario.swervynmerv wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 10:07 pmGreat great win. At 3-6 no way this fan thought they would make the playoffs.
The question is now do we want to go East or West route?
A lot of if's and preferences:
1. If the Lions finish second in the west, would they prefer to host the Roughriders or Blue Bombers in the west division semi-final?
2. If the Lions finish third in the west, would they rather travel to Regina or Winnipeg? (still trying to figure out if that scenario option fits out if the Lions do finish 3rd)
3. Finally if the Lions finish fourth and qualify as the crossover would they rather face the Redblacks or the Tiger-Cats in the East division semi-final?

Based on what I have seen of Calgary and Saskatchewan lately, I would rather stay in the west for the playoffs.

Lions were their own worst enemy early in the game. A spectacular touchdown by Burnham nullified by a penalty to Shaq Johnson and then a Rainey fumble on a punt but they hung in there. Lions turned the game in their favour in the 3rd quarter with 3 touchdowns by Devier Posey. Defence did their job sacking Reilly 4 times, intercepting a pass and recover a fumble. Rare for a team to lose the turnover battle but the Lions did it tonight.

they cleane dup their game in the 2nd half (except for they obvious run up the gut), but they picked up the blitz and got some long plus/tds.... lulay made some bad plays but didntlet that faze him... better than reilly who seemed to get fazed a bit .. maybe by our rush which was better in the 2nd half
