Bad use of a challenge. He just froze his kicker. :bang:

It's not the game plan, schemes or coaching. It's EXECUTION

At least most of you didn't spend $2,000+ to be subjected to this horsesh*t.
Many won't be spending 1% of that from here on.

Wally you only have one challenge flag use it accordingly.

How embarrassing was that?

We go for a field goal. Miss. Huge freaking return. Field goal the other way. :dizzy:

sad to say we are just not a very good football team right now. Not one aspect of our game is working.

18 points is doable if they can get in synch as a team.

This is a key game given what the Riders just did to Edmtn and how they like the Bombers seem to be on a bit of a roll.

My sense though that Wally's Lions teams are great when they are on a roll and in rhythm but struggle when they have to find a way to get out of a hole.

Maybe another Shaq Murray Lawrence speech at the half is needed lol...
What it feels like tto be out of football.

What has happened to the once great return game?

Complete embarrassment. 18-0 flatters them. So much wrong with this team right now.

Offence inept as usual. Burnham and Williams apparently being blanketed with little to no targets to either of them.

What a surprise Washington's defence looks confused with another week of shaking up the secondary. Apparently continuity means nothing to him.

Challenge? Ummm ... Nope.

As David noted, it froze our kicker.

LOL Maybe they were up late last night and watched the Esks miss the convert only to have Duron Carter take it back 113 yards for 2.

Stegall calling for Lulay to be inserted.

Might give them some energy - at least he tackled on the big return.

Yup. Lulay is a gamer.

Wonder what Wally says to his team at half time.

Can't block, can't run, can't keep a drive, can't tackle, can't get a sack, can't get a return, can't get a FG.

Yet we are a TD away from gaining momentum to get back in the game.

All due respect to Wally,. my fav CFL coach of all time. But, come on. His stubbornness at keeping in JJ cost 2 wins, and is well on the way to being 3. You have an MVP QB sitting on the sidelines. Put him the heck in! :bang:

We saw the difference with James Franklin replacing Reilly - albeit the Riders were floating by then.

Has a Wally team ever come back down 18or more points at the half???

Execute!

What's to say, they show no desire , no regency, too worried about playing soft not to get beat.

Wally, you're making mistakes on defense because they're on the field too long...
Go Lions!
