It's frustrating to watch Harris having all day to go through his reads while VA has to deal with the pressure and zinging some balls in tight coverage

As the tsn panel said...VA will have to put on his cape in order for our Leos to have a chance to win this game

David Sanchez said the Lions offense line is not good enough to have a running game tonight so Maksymic will need to be creative in the second half. Find ways to get VA to use his legs. Get Mackie involved as a well. He has better hands than Stanback

Let's hope the team that tries a short kick off both lose today.
OTT. blew that one and from then on the Argos were back in the game.


Congrats to Benny and Jets with the 3rd surprise VA punt with two Lions onside after the Riders kicked short on the kickoff.
I notice there ST practice (saw Wed) was a bit crisper than usual and it seems Benny has his jets working.

Trevor Harris is in full form and that's a well stocked Riders team on both sides of the ball.
I agree with Milt and Matt - VA has to be great in the 2nd half.

If the OTT-TOR game is the model for today, the Lions will win the second half and the game.

I thought Barron Miles should have sent more pressure more times to keep his DEF in the game as when they did, Kelly got sacked.
Lions might want to take note and send a bit more pressure.

PS: the Redblacks - Argo game was crazy and fun to watch.
I'm hoping the Lions will pull off the same tricks as the Argos.

I think that VA quick kick on 2nd down with or more onside would be brilliant.
Dustin Nielsen suggests his onside kick was wind assisted

We have to be able to do better than Williams as a returner next year.

Riders got away with another PI. No challenge from Campbell.

What a hit by Eley. Was that ruled complete and then fumble recovery by Sask?
