 This team has never recovered from the Winnipeg beat down Doesn’t even look close to the same team that began the season.
You are so right we got punched in the nose and our confidence has been shattered.

Need to start dressing 10 import offensive linemen and get a heavier running back if we ever want to be able to run the ball. Too many Canadian players on the offensive line and God forbid if we get an injury to one of them and have to put in one of their Canadian backups.

We try and establish a running game lcontonue to get stuffed and get stopped on 2nd and long every time.

The only time we have any success is when we abandon the running game and throw the ball.

This falls right into the coaches lap, as was stated earlier.

Zero excuse for this effort

I don't know why they gambled when there was so much time left

My apologies. I’ve been mad at the coaches and players all night but it was obviously my fault!

Turned off the tv after the onside kick and BC scores 16. Just turned it back on after a frantic text from another Lions fan.

I shall refrain from watching the rest of the year so I don’t jinx them!🤣🤣

Is this called putting a lipstick on a pig? An unconventional win to say the least

I retract my previous statement, Lions win with the Bombers and Riders lose this week. Great week for the Lions.
Entertainment value = an all time low

I haven’t been this stunned at an ending since the Milt Stegall catch against the Eskimos

Didn’t deserve that win, but two points is two points.
