Booch

thing is....if the leadership group is maintained, and the continual retention of core players, and new blood that fits the narrative, then the wheels shouldnt fall off....but this is pro sports, and it eventually becomes cyclical...but some times takes a loooong time

yup....and Lately Parker has been playing great...and gets better and better....also rarely misses a tackle.

and knock downs....tackles for loss on what would have been a sack...thats why a lot of times stats are misleading...case in point Sankey and Dean tackle numbers... exactly....and why they dont have even half the games on the CTV network is baffling....it's not like the programming on there is must/have to see t.v

they worried....and not just cause the weather

now that would be a big bonus....i sure he be eased in possibly in WF...or is he slated right in?....but him added to Rose, Nichols, BA, Darby and Parker, with also Ford showing he is more than capable, and whomever the extra db will be...gives us some real nice depth/options....

ick

well to be realistic...to have maintained that...or be even better would have just not been fair hahaha...

I dont see BC holding us under 25...under 30 I think will be a stretch....so they are going to have to roll all over our defense....and cant see that happening in less than ideal conditions....didn't see it in ideal conditions, so the task is more daunting for them...Home field...vet experience...been there before...and the quiet confidence and the goal of going 1-0 again I think puts us over the top...we are rested....healthy basically and just played them 2x...and have had 2 weeks basically to prepare and scheme...would take a major epic dropping of the ball, and dumb play along with getting zero breaks all game for us to fail...then again...on any given sunday....will be a gooder none the less

He's a first read guy...it's taken away, or not there....he is average and basically tries to buy time to chuck it up and hope his guy beats the one on one jump....or hoped he got a guy in behind if db lost coverage....If his mobility is limited...like it was, and likely will be worse as he won't have "healed" any more than what he was, and is likely in worse shape...then that chuck and duck game plan will be less effective. I look for us to use a lot of combined man coverage, and jamming his first read at the line....and a lot of pressure early to have him rushing things...pretty much what we have done before...just amped up a bit

the only guys u will see on our team with beanies and face protection are the ones that have done it most of yr as a covid preventative..Rose...and a few others

pretty sure Hall has something cooked up for the Jeffs to bring it....I can see a lot of fronts with them inside too....beffuddling that Lion O-Line and looks lil Rourkie hasnt seen and will throw right into trouble

NO DOUBT....Be even better other than that anomaly

interesting to say the least, and kinda funny considering all the flack and complaining that occurred about our apparent weak secondary...quietly and efficiently just get the job done with no flash and boasting...much like the team as a whole has done week to week for past several years the Lions have scored 33 of their 58 regular season touchdowns through the air. On the opposing sideline, the Bombers defence has allowed a league-low 19 passing touchdowns this season. Additionally, Winnipeg allowed the second-fewest yards per attempt (7.8), tied BC for the fewest passing yards allowed per game (253.6) and have held opposing quarterbacks to a league-low 65 per cent completion percentage.

getting smacked in the mouth with no answer how to smack back

all along I had the thought the Gnome hangs on to that position in Mtl

theres no passive with Buck...he lets the offence attack....and attack some more......Lapo offensive never did that...they just took what the defense was more or less luring them into.....as they knew Lapo would take it...

wonder if 3Down nation and other media grasped what Hall was politely saying...that yeah he came out of gate great, but at this point hasnt proved anything and being in yr 2....lets just see if he can sustain this....or just become another footnote in the flash in the pan history of QB's....a sentiment many here have been saying....

we had 3 receivers in top 5 in TD's...so they find the endzone...that with one receiver missing 4 games, and our (at the time) top receiver who was leading league missing most of the year...we also had the top receiver yardage wise with far fewer receptions, and we dont rely on the chuck and duck, and or 50/50 attempt...I will take ours hands down. Butler got 59 more yards on more carries, even with BO's lousy start....I'd take our run game too...behind the best oline, and we don't lean on dumping a pass to a RB so not concerned with Butlers extra receiving yard total...we will see in the cold weather which back is more effective Dont get me wrong BC has some good players....but across the boards we far superior, and we been there done that....which is the biggest factor

yup....look at Claybrook

I would give only the K/P to BC just due to experience....and be a wash for returner....WPG is hands down better across the board

We havnt really done it at all this yr like last when we were totally dominant...we rolled out the Jeff's...hansen and Kongbo.. sayles...stove and Thomas..and at times 8 guys on roster

Tenure...good at his role for a while now so the proverbial due for advancement...

Theres a lot of kid Canada's in the CFL...ones born..bred..and played all their football in canada...so why dont they get that moniker? It's a bit stupid if u ask me and a slap in the face of every other Canadian star at his position..

that shirt is soley for the players on the team....you cant get one And I agree about the previous swaggerville..was fun and all...but yup was an aberration in the fact there was more me me me there and personal accolades...these guys could give a crap...unless it's a teammate of theirs getting something....That TD they got for Miller is a perfect example...that came from within the players ranks of getting him that....thats a team thru and thru

seems with this group...especially last 2 yrs they could give a crap....they see it....but this is a team that lets it's result on field do it's talking, for that day and move on I am sure everyone has noticed as a whole...they never talk about any accomplishment, or themselves personally, always deflect to teamates, and prob noticed as well....99 percent of time they aren't even aware of certain feats they achieved, or record/stats they eclipsed, as they are locked in on that 1-0 week....it's been a total buy in here....and is fostered by vets, and presented to the new guys, and the FIFO weeds out the schmucks....I personally have never seen anything like it....u hear organizations talk that talk....portray it , or try to elsewhere but it has really morphed into something here...It's as legit as legit can be and not lip service
