Lions at Redblacks June 30, 2022

[TheLionKing]

Defence holds. Ottawa has to settle for a field goal

[KnightofCydonia]

First sack against Rourke today. Ottawa designed a great blitz

[KnightofCydonia]

14-6 at the half. More muted game than the fireworks against Edmonton and Toronto, but perhaps unsurprising given the short week, injuries (Lucky is playing but seems to be limping still), and stiffer competition hungry for their first win of the season.

Special teams seems like the biggest weak spot today, with both some awful punts by Flintoft and a lack of protection for returners, and the running game has been quiet. But Phillips is calling a great defense and Rourke has remained strong overall.

First INT by Rourke in an ill-advised throw

[SammyGreene]

Poor decision but the lack of a running game is putting them in way too many 2nd and longs. Throw in another bad penalty on special teams and it was a bad spot for a turnover

Butler 6 carries for 12 yds

[TheLionKing]

Redbacks made the Lions pay for the interception

[TheLionKing]

Lions facing adversity for the first time this season . Ler's see how tget respond

[TheLionKing]

Good challenge

[TheLionKing]

Damned another interception

[KnightofCydonia]

Second INT, almost a pick-6

[SammyGreene]

Teams are sitting on his short routes. All out blitz and Pearson not even looking back at his QB.

Again though Butler stuffed on 1st down put them in 2nd and long yet again

Sad thing is Ottawa’s offence has done little all night

[TheLionKing]

Holy cow. Hatcher wide open for a 70 yard touchdown

[KnightofCydonia]

Hatcher had like a 15 yard radius of free space. No one near him, that's some real blown coverage from Ottawa. Beautiful!

[SammyGreene]

The story of two all out blitzes. That will make Benevides a little gun shy calling that again

[B.C.FAN]

Clutch reply by Rourke and the offence with two TDs after giving up two TDs on turnovers in the third quarter. 28-20 B.C. after three quarters.
