Where have we seen this before? This is embarassing.
When a team has a veteran coach like Wally and they come as flat and unprepared as this for a huge divisional battle, it falls on Wally.
It does!!

Too bad that our interception by Bighill didnt' stand up to the challenge, that we only got 3 points when our offence was inside the Bombers 10 yard line and Leone missed an easy field goal. That was a possible 17 points. Plus Sinfield had an easy catch go off his hands for an interception.

Its not all on our defense but they look awful.

I hate to say it but I was saying to a buddy last week I could really see no CFL in 5 years.

With big time attendance issues in Toronto and BC's problems if these two teams fold the league is in trouble.

Trying to win back fans and attract new ones doesn't help when you have poor performances at jom and in big ganes

That was a great pass to Burnham and now with the TD we are back in it.

This game reminds me of the game in Regina early in the year.

Just when I wonder if Lulay should come in for the second half, Jennings starts putting up points before the half.

Re: Lions vs. Bombers Game Day Thread

One issue the rules committee has to address is major fouls that result in "half the distance to the goal line". Burnham gets horse collared and the penalty was 3 yards. You could do anything to a guy on the 1 yard line and penalty would effectively be nothing.

15 yards for no yards when their is no attempt to contact the returner, compared to 3 yards for a horse collar tackle that could end a career?

Somehow the Lions are in a position to be down only 4 at worst at half time!

Why aren't the Lions gambling on 3rd and 1 ?
