They'd better get their passing attack figured out or we are dead.

Our receivers can’t get open and Rourke is forcing it.

I dont know if Hollins is running lazy routes but he is never open and is playing db most of the time. Passing game in a massive funk.

Our receivers do not seem particularly motivated. Seldom do they find space.

Rourke looks like a QB who has only had one practice with Hollins and McInnis.

He started with some short, quick passes, which has always been his strength, but a drop by Cottoy and several timing issues have shaken his confidence. The Lions need to get back to a mix of rushing plays and short passes to get some momentum.

not sure why anyone thought Rourke would be ready after 3 practices. he looked tired in all his interviews .
also think the cfl has figured out Macsymincs offence. We have no plays to counter a 3 man rush. he refusess to adjust his offence to what a defence gives up.

The B.C. defence wasn’t the problem in the first half. They took a costly roughing the passer penalty that set up the only TD of the half, and they held the Bombers to 3 points off 2 interceptions, with some help from the goalpost.

I thought right away that they were rushing him into action too soon, having not played a meaningful game in two seasons. But with Adams injured, the options were to start Dolegala, with the knowledge that he'd probably be cut before the next game, or start Brice.

I hope Shuleger is healthy soon. This O Line has been brutal since he came out and Couture came back in
