Game Day Thread - Lions at Riders, August 12, 2010

[Centrum22]

That was a lame call.

[West Coast Blue Fan]

Chaps has called a good game.

Bonehead plays on ST and on the OL have killed us. Time for the players to start earning their spots........I'm looking at you Reddick and you Valli

[Larry Key]

We give them 30 yards to start.

[TheLionKing]

Another dumb penalty. Slowly and surely Lions are losing it. 8 penalties so far

[joe kapp22]

That was a BS call on Henderson.

[Centrum22]

I am not seeing any potential here folks.

[LFITQ]

If you want to get the player standing up that is blocking you, get in under their shoulder pads in the chest area and drive it up into their throat. It is MUCH more effective than facemasking and, here's a new wrinkle for the Lions, LEGAL.

[Centrum22]

Oh those are great tackles guys, just great f-ing tackles! We are so awesome.

Nonsense, they called a major even though Joe H did not push nor pull on his facemask.

I can't tell if Chaps has called a good game or not - the players aren't doing the basics right enough to get enough plays into the game. Penalty after penalty, missed tackle after tackle.

This one is, so far, squarely on the shoulders of the players.

Score here for the Riders and that puts this game away. Can field a peewee team for the second half and still hold on for the win. 3 QB's failed in who's system?

[Larry Key]

[West Coast Blue Fan]

Crawford.....miss
Phillips.....whiff
Marsh.....slips out....and misses a 2nd time

Tackled by Henderson and Johnson........Rob Bagg, the new George Reed

[TheLionKing]

TSN turning point of the game.

[Centrum22]

To be honest, I would rather be Edmonton right now.
