Excited to see this game with Zach back, Rourke's start is up in the air, season series on the line....I like our chances.

 

Anyone know further details on Rourke?

Masoli has a history of carving us up. Nothing very recent mind you, but he beat us up pretty good more than a couple times back in the day. If im not mistaken he set or tied a consecutive completions in a game record against us. Playing backups with nothing to lose always scares me(hello arbuckle). Rather play a gimpy Rourke personally.

He was also like 2 feet away from completing a 70 yard bomb TD that would have made it a one score game with just under 2 minutes left.

Oooh, I'm scared now.

Guess, I need to change my Lock of the Week pick now to Masoli and Pick 'Ems to BC.

Lock of the Week or your Shoe-In? I mean do you have a giant lock or a giant shoe?

We're worrying about Masoli? Oh brother... based on what we saw last week that guy is absolutely cooked.

Who know who else was cooked that we weren't worried about? Arbuckle.

We all know BC has a defense that will dominate at every level, create multiple turn overs and force our OC to make next to zero changes in what the O does because if it doesn't work 3 times it will work the 4th.

Arbuckle played well. But he's not the reason the Argos won that game.

As I said previously... arbuckle didn't do ****, our offense just did much much worse.

He did exactly what he had to do. Took what they gave him, took a couple chances that worked out and didn't make big time mistakes. His defence did the rest and controlled the game start to finish basically.

No on said scared of Masoli, said, rather play rourke. I dont think rourke has a hope of beating us. 

 

 

What's it like as a coach balancing all these new designations...

Mos "The good thing about our team is we don't even mess around with it."

Well, you can't break the rules, right? Some guys only get so many snaps..

"Yeah, I we don't even venture down that road. So we wouldn't worry about breaking the rules because we're dont even enter into that conversation, never is a long time, but we haven't yet."

What do you think about the rules

"I don't think about it."

 

Some people have asked if we use the designations and just don't announce it, and debated about it, but here it is from the horse's mouth. We don't use the extended roster flexibility that every other team in the league does.

Arbuckles' game would've been better than Zach's usual playoff performance level here, which is very, very sad.

Flip side is that the Argo D went out and won the game for them. Our D did not.

And it's stupid they don't...what point he trying to prove is a mystery 

And he yip yaps about everyone here as they give us a chance to win...yet continues to play the walking wounded...so obviously he is lying or full of **** but back it up if u gonna say it

Yup...as it's was a poor version of what we could have rostered 

Arbuckler took what was there..played within himself and their game plan was tailored for him to basically succeed if he was smart about it and patient..and he was

Yes, however it's 3 years in a row of the offense being poor so maaaayyybeeeee it was a bomber O problem moreso than what the other D was doing.

I cringe when i watch these pressers, sometimes i wonder how the HELL he won this many games.

I think it's both. Bomber O sucked and also they have played hot defenses.

Brady is officially out for Saturday. Looks like Rourke is trending towards not playing, but because the Lions only have 3 QBs signed he gets to sit on the active roster, and the Lions are also going to be without Berryhill who had a good week 1 but didn't do much last week.

Probably a smart decision from B.C, rib injury can be one of those long term lingering injuries, it’s a long season, no point risking further injury.

I think the injury is more of his oblique, the twisting with throwing would probably reduce the power in his throws.

Everyone knows you can't win without being a better interview!!!

Unless the Lions are more forthcoming than the BB are about the precise injury, (other than Dr. Lalji’s report), who really knows what it is?
