Lions vs. Riders July 27, 2019 - Game Day Thread

[Sir Purrcival]

I think the damage is already done. Most of us are convinced that the season is over, they are in a close competition for being the worst team in the league, probably already are. They seem to have little in the way of future value right now. Playing with a bunch of retreads. Massive issues on D, O and the ST. How much worse can it get?

[Lion Guy]

Ran the ball up the gut on the 9 yard Lind line and no one touched him.

[Sir Purrcival]

Well, I'd like to say it has been fun but I'm out. This game is a metaphor for the season. An absolute Clusteryouknowwhat.

I don’t see how you can just ride out this disaster without doing anything. If this winds up being a 2-16 season, there might be less than 10,000 fans in the stands by the end of the season.

[Larry Key]

We found a return specialist. LOL

[TheLionKing]

Lankford with his 2nd return for a touchdown

[randymeeks]

Too bad Lankford can’t return 5 kicks for touchdowns every game.

[TheLionKing]

Another missed tackle. Lions had him behind the line of scrimmage

My concern is for this teams future.

I worked a football camp today and asked some 16-17 year olds if they were gonna watch the game.

The answer was no. “The Lions have sucked for years and nobody goes to their games’

That’s not good. In an off-season that had so much buzz and potential to build up the crowd and fans and have turned it into a tire fire

[Lion Guy]

We have no defence whatsoever. The line is non existent

[TheLionKing]

Lions got caught on a fake punt AGAIN

Agreed. It’s Vancouver we’re talking about here. There’s a ton of competition for the entertainment dollar. If you lose your fans during one horrible season (the last 5 years have been pretty well terrible) you can lose them for years. The Lions just can’t ride this disaster out, then make changes in the offseason. The status quo can’t maintain itself. Someone’s gotta go!!!!

Yep. Years of an eroding fan base and this is an absolute disaster for this franchise.
