One team in the ditch the other thinks maybe if we rock it the drives will get enough traction. Can't imagine what attendance will look like.  

BC wins by 10. Have been saying this since July Ottawa is the worst team in the league.

Its definitely a worst vs worst scenario. I'm not sure ottawa is worse then BC though. Guess we will find out tonight.

Think we see the first Mike Reilly performance of the year. 350 yards 3 tds.

As incompetent as the Lions' o-line and coaching is, at the least they have a credible quarterback, although he has to be hurting from all the pounding he has been taking. IF the RBs can pummel him AND Jennings plays the game of his year, Ottawa has a chance.

Lions have their bet shot here.....Ottawa is a mess, right now.

kicker?

I like B.C. to win tonight. 

No problem. OTT just has to find a stud QB soon to make fans forget about letting Harris and Ellingson walk before it becomes legend in bad GM-ing.

they aren't playing in sask though.

 

 

Both teams are bad but I think you guys are giving the Lions (Reilly) too much credit. This will be an ugly game that will be decided late with some bad penalties and bad tackling. 

I have the RBs winning 22-20. 🤮

I think they teach bad tackling in BC, so there’s that.

But Ottawa has made some crazy decisions on the field lately, so I’ll go with BC 22-20 (in keeping with the theme)

Next week, in the rematch, it may be super important for one of these teams, or just another lame game for both..

 

Some interesting Game Notes:

Coming into this game, both Ottawa and BC are 1-8 in their last 9 games. BC is 1-4 in games decided in the final 3:00.  👁‍🗨Somehow, someway, they will both be 1-9 after tonight.

- Since 2014, the Lions and REDBLACKS have split their 10 meetings. Ottawa is 2-3 in 5 previous visits to B.C. Place.

- Odell Willis has now gone 7 games without a QB Sack. This is the longest streak of his CFL career (previous: 6 in a row 2017).

- BC has started 10 different players and 8 different starting 5 combinations on the O-Line in 2019.

- BC's pass defence had just 4 INTs in the first 8 games - over their last 3 games they have had 5 interceptions.

- Jonathon Jennings returns to B.C. Place where he has started 22 previous games going 12-10 for the Lions. (Last week, Jennings completed a career-high 33 passes - his previous best mark was 32 vs Hamilton in 2018).

- Mike Reilly was sacked twice last week (matching the fewest allowed since the 1st game of the year). He has been sacked 45 times.

- The Lions have been held scoreless in the 1st Quarter in their last 3 games. They have not led after the 1st Quarter in their last 8 games. - Ottawa has been outscored in the 4th Quarter in 8 of their 11 games.

- Bryan Burnham has 4 of BC's 6 100-yard receiving games, and at 84.8 yds per game is on pace for a career-high 1,442 yards. 👁‍🗨 Brian,  don’t you wish you were a Bomber instead?

- Mossis Madu had just 6 carries last week but was targeted 14 times making 12 receptions for 83 yards (2nd highest single game).

- Over the last 2 games, Garry Peters has 11 tackles, all 3 of his interceptions, and a forced fumble.

- Despite two recent misses, Lewis Ward's career FG% made mark sits at 96.4 on 81-of-84 attempts. Still be headed for A Wards this coming fall

- At 30,292 yards Mike Reilly is poised to pass Tom Burgess (#16 at 30,308) and Sam Etcheverry #15 at 30,381) this week. 👁‍🗨 Too bad he won’t remember any of it.

The Walking Dead Bowl

I think BC is going to absolutely paste the redblacks. 

BC is awful but talented, against a dead end no hope team like Ottawa they could bust out. 

Yeah, count me in as thinking Reilly goes off tonight against a truly horrible Ottawa team...

I hold enough dislike for each of these teams to happily watch either lose.

Nothing at qb thanks to Marcel Desjardins who has now come full circle as a GM. He ground the Ti Cats to dust during his time as GM & now he did the same in Ottawa thinking he could win with Jennings & Davis by being cheap.

Yeah i wonder if Rick Campbell had any say on going into this year with Davis as their No1?

I think this year is a big ‘pass’ for everyone - no one gets canned until they have another bad season in 2020

really felt like desjardins wanted to get a feel for the ‘new’ FA salary range Or had an internal cap - he’s already shown he’ll spend like a madman in FA so I’d expect that to come back in Feb

watch Reilly get traded to Ottawa...

Pretty sure it was something like this.

The things is - BC has had a QB all year...

another useless tackle attempt by I guess the Ottawa safety on Lemar Durant.

Ottawa looks like an arena league team.

Jennings gets a pick wiped out by penalty......so promptly throw another.   14-0 Lions
