Leos Prepare to Play the Bombers and Game Day Thread

[KnowItAll]

Manhandled, out coached, out hustled, and out executed. No way the Lions get the fan count to 15K

If they get to 12K I'll be surprised. No way I'm going

how about everybody boycott the rest of the games and pass on ST for next year. That will show them

see if we can lose the lions before Toronto loses the argos

I take it from this that you are attending the game?

[Sir Purrcival]

There is nothing to be gained for trying to "punish" the Lions. Attendance has been dwindling for years and that hasn't done anything to rectify the slow downward spiral that this team has been engaged in. People not attending will flow naturally from a poor product on the field. There is no point in trying to organize a no show movement.
This team has been sickly for a long time. Most believe that the problems start at the top. An owner who is really looking to be done with the team, a HC/former GM who also is looking to be gone from the game.

One problem will be solved after this season. The other, who knows. But until, the apathy at the top is gone, you can hardly expect players or even other coaches to perform with the kind of heart and determination that is required to be exceptional.

No matter how frustrated, disappointed and angry I get when watching or attending games, I won't be "boycotting" or calling for a fan "strike". This year, I renewed only after the team made coaching changes. Whether or not there were enough changes, there was a start. That was good enough for me.

I'll be going to the games if I'm in town or watching the games when I can. I started watching and listening to BC Lions games in the early 1960's. We lived on the Upper Levels Highway and I knew there was a Lions game because the traffic would back up from the stop light on Lonsdale. In all these years, there have been good teams and bad teams, good coaching and bad coaching, but the BC Lions are still "my" team and I will be at the games until I can no longer get to the games or afford a season ticket.

Things are bad now, but I have hope that the offensive schemes can be adjusted to increase the effectiveness of the OL and aerial attack. I've pretty much lost hope that the defence can be turned around...

At best, we have some wins at home..... at worst, even a loss at home is still a "night out" for me and I'll enjoy that as much as possible....

You couldn't pay me to sit through a game like that. I was contemplating going over from the Island for a game later in the season, but I think I will support the Lions by buying logo wear instead.

Craig Roh, Alex Bazzie, Andrew Harris and Bighill must be enjoying the game tonight

You forgot Chandler Fenner too!.....Ha,ha! I certainly did not enjoy the game!

I think Ronnie Yell had a good game also

[Hambone]

They were saying in the post game that Burnham didn't make an effort to stop Bighill from scoring. From the replay he seemed to have given up chasing Bighill.

I noticed that too but I also recognized that no way Burnham was going to make up the ground on Biggie. Probably just pull a hamstring if he tried. In their respective Draft Scout combine numbers coming out of college Burnham ran a 4.62 40. Biggie ran a 4.59.

I'm not getting the warm and fuzzies from this game.

* No changes since the blowout in EDM.

* The players are walking into an oven in Manitoba, which they are not used to (you think conditioning might be an issue for Maxx Forde??)

* Wally and Mark vs O'Shea and Lapo. 'Nuff said.

* Hungry ex-Leos looking to stick it to their former team (Bighill is going to be amped, as is Fenner, Harris, Roh etc.)

* Bombers O-line will want to step up to protect Nichols. Team will be given a lift by his return.

If Jennings plays all "deer in the headlights" (you all know what I mean....he overthrows Rainey on a simple screen pass) and we can't get near Nichols, it is going to be a long evening. If JJ thows for 300+ yards, we can take it. That's about 60% more yards than he's been averaging though.

Not tooting my own horn here, but I get premonitions every once in a while and had a very bad feeling about yesterday's game. Everything aligned with what I predicted would happen. Even Glen Suitor remarked about the extreme heat that the players just look zapped (Bombers are used to playing in heat and humidity).

I waited til training camp to finally renew my season tickets. Guess I made a colossal mistake

right. Lets just support them when they are on top.

Been a season ticket holder for 53 years. Never missed a game. I rest my case.

my wife and her friend is. They will not let losing stop them.
I wish I had a choice.
