Lions 34 - Bombers 23 Grey Cup Stats and Comments

[WestCoastJoe]

Just another CFL game, right? LOL

OMG.

For a while I thought we were back in drop back 25 times in a row offence. But then Travis, Kierie and Arland made some plays. And we used Andrew Harris for a couple of good runs.

Very, very tough physical battle.

Kudos to all the coaches, players and staff.

Grey Cup victory #6 for the Lions. Whoooooo Hoooooooooooooo

Best season ever after the turn around of the early struggles...........does this mean we repeat in 2012 with the 6 year Grey cup streak!!!

[joe kapp22]

That is a very tough, very talented Wpg team, open the door a crack and they will try to slide into the W like a cat squeezing in there.

"If" Odell Willis came down with that int and took it to the EZ, this is an entirely different game.

Thought it was a hard hard fought game one in which we only gained the advantage later in the 3rd qtr and early 4th.

Thought Arland Bruce was key for us, as was Andrew Harris.

Money McCallum was not going to let Jovon Johnson score..he pulled out that flagrant facemask to keep him from scoring.

Odd, but I kinda had hoped that the Rouge would have been the difference in the ballgame...that would have been very "CFLish".

[Toppy Vann]

Good result for BC. Lulay and Harris deserve the accolades today - MVP , OC.

The Lions opened hungry and never much let up.

The Bombers looked like they were just happy to be in the GC. Out coached and bland offense to start.

Lapo needs to let go of the play calling. Eric Tillman in Sask and Edmton lets his HC hire but he approves hires. ET won't let the HC call his own plays as it detracts from the HC role. lapo was outcoached today.

Is Travis Lulay the new Mayor of Swaggerville now?

[Belize City Lion]

If PMac doesn't hit the post and instead is a purrfect 5 for 5 would he be the outstanding Canadian? Harris was well deserving, but I was a bit surprised that Chap seemed to forget about him in quarters 2 and 3.

What is so special about this championship is this was not an average team that started slow and got hot at the right time... this was a great team that started horribly but got their poop together and became the best team in Canadian football.

I love the shot of the sign that said "Simonville" with Simon pasted over swagger!

[WestCoastJoe]

The Peg has great pass cover guys. Very tough D. Not much O.

Lions' D ferocious once again. Good to see 6 man rotation on the D Line. Anton, Solly and Amp terrific at LB.

O Line terrific. Jovon, Ben.

Andrew Harris awesome.

Receivers awesome. Geroy. Arland. Paris. Kierie. And for best pickup, I would still vote for Arland ... Big Time.

Travis Lulay terrific although some rough spots.

Great character on the team.

Kudos to the guys that took the most heat: Wally, Jacques and Mike B.
.......

Looking at announcers and some players, what is with the mustaches? LOL. Back to the 70s. I had one of those for many years. LOL

[joe kapp22]

hmm, to early to think about the offseason, but do think we all are in for some major changes in the Team.

What a year! Shame on me as I was calling for Some heads after the 0-5 start.

This will go down as my favorite year as a Lions fan and this victory the best Grey Cup yet.

Conratulations to all players, staff and fans! I love my Leos.

[Robbie]

Maybe a little premature, but will there be a parade like 1985 and in other championship cities? Or will there just a small celebration gathering on Tuesday just like after the 1994, 2000, and 2006 wins? I have a feeling it will be the latter.

And I'm quite sure that the Grey Cup will make an appearance on this coming Tuesday night's Canucks game, if not Thursday night.

Absolutely, I've been a BC Fan for such a short time, I feel almost guilty for enjoying a Championship coming so quickly.

Well done!

FarhanLaji just tweeted that Travis hurt his groin last week on that 61 yd run and aggravated in this one, which is why he was not running as often.

It's November, and in Movember you grow a moustache for Prostate Cancer and men's health.

I'll agree with you on the rest. One note on Winnipeg, if I were them, I'd pull some old tapes of the early 2000s Stampeders and take some notes on how they used Marc Boerigter, because you can do the same thing with Greg Carr.
