The franchise player, like many others before him, has been ruined by the NFL. He is to blame for that.

Trade him. Keep Adams he is a legit CFL player.
You think anyone is going to trade for Rourke at $750K after how he has played since returning to the CFL? Same reason we won’t see VA… the Lions are stashing him because if plays poorly they won’t be able to trade him at $500K with 50% guaranteed in 2026.

This team is an embarrassment. A roster loaded with players than any team would love to have, yet they are basically an “all-star” version of the Calgary Stampeders.

I really should have got tickets to watch the women’s rugby final at BC Place tonight - instead I decided I would watch this debacle. Oh well at least the woman’s game is on TSN at 7:00 - Canada will have more intensity than our Lions and their clueless coaching staff.

Example 789 this season of Ryan Phillips horrendous zone defence on that TD pass and why he should be fired

Re: Lions at Riders Oct. 12, 2024

Playing zone in the end zone??? I never knew that was a thing... but even so, to play so that you are nowhere near a receiver when the ball is thrown? The db is 5 years from the receiver??? There was more space between the Lion and the receiver than there was between the Lion and the out of bounds end zone marker.... Jeeez Louise!!!

Re: Lions at Riders Oct. 12, 2024

I am not a coach and know what's the issues in the dressing room - but if QB struggles and you mentioned publicly that both QB.s are there for each other, what is the harm in using the alternate QB. Its like if you have two decent goalies in hockey and one struggles a bit - make the change and see if the plays can be improved. Its a team game.

Losing by 20+ so far in the third is a bit shocking at this point. Rourke has not drove any TD for the last while. If not in this game, certainly look at the next.
