?‍?Rakeem Cato vs Jonathan Jennings
Jim Popp vs Wally Buono 

OK I've seen enough already. How can we expect help from Montreal when we see a start like that?

?‍?Well, Montreal does have the best Red Zone Defence in the league, and the best tackler in Bear Woods. BC had to try 7 FGs the last time they played, making 5.
Of course,,people will counter that BC has the next two best tacklers in Elimimian and Bighill, but they're just quibbling.
OK then, Tyrell Sutton is back as the RB and last week produced a season-high 71 yards averaging 7.1 per carry. He has 104 yards on 20 carries since returning from the Injured List.
Is that enough? 
Duron Carter is back.
What else? Well, OC Anthony Calvillo is pissed and wants the offence to click better. That echoes what their main pass catcher, Nic Lewis, is saying.
Oh yeah, Ronnie Yell is out with an injury, so that should help.
Also, BC is concerned with their O-Line, so if Noel Thorp's boys can have themselves a game....
Special teams will be so very important to both teams as well.

CFL.ca stats
By the Numbers

23% – Red zone conversion rate against Montreal’s defence; the Als are the stoutest red zone defence in the league.
26-9 – BC’s lead in the all-time series between the Lions and Als in Vancouver. Home field advantage?
50.6 – BC kicker Richie Leone’s current average yardage on a punt, tied with Jon Ryan’s all-time CFL record.
74 – League-leading tackles recorded by Montreal linebacker Bear Woods

Go Montreal!

Hmm so Carter doesn't like Cato... Seems like that guy has a real bad attitude.

Manny is a damn good receiver

What I wouldn't give for a guy like this. Big lanky guy with killer hands and not afraid to go get the ball. 

Always a good sign when your star receiver and your inexperienced QB are fighting in the huddle.

Jennings looks smooth... Henry Burris 2.0?

Montreal will not win more than one more game this year, they look horrrriiiibbbblllleeeeee

Lions just steam-rollering the Alouettes. No surprise with all the crap going on in that team, and I feel sad for the veterans who still care.

Can not get over how bad this Als D is. Holy cripes... This is gonna get REAL bad before it gets better.

i have a feeling they will have big struggles the next few years, need a full rebuild including coaching and management 

Gotta be impressed with Khari Jones' work here.

If the owners have any sense, Popp will be told to hire a good coach and stick to GM-ing or else.

Cato is really trying to force the ball into tight coverage. So far he is getting it done, but it can't last.

Atrocious.  The ref was looking right at him.

Its gonna happen. In the NFL Carolina-Denver game, the Carolina QB got hit illegally 5 times, including 2 direct helmet to helmet hits, but none of them were called.

He's had three really near ints... 

BC is going to get the number 2 overall from Montreal. Montreal better hope Vernon Adams isn't Spurgeon Wynn 2.0.

The Lions seem to have really dialed in the Larks now. Just smothering them on both sides of the ball.

 

Lions didn't score a major, but the game is over regardless.

c'mon Als, let's see a big defensive play early, get the momentum back...

called it

Wow the Al's have folded... Look so uninspired

Carter is forsure going to beak cato for being a better qb then him now and they will get into another fight aha

watched that interview with Duron Carter - he was basically unintelligible, just seemed to be babbling.  Looked like he was on crack.
