I quite like Rourke it's the rest of them I don't.

BC is missing 2 big recievers so they'll get better offensively, still, they are hardly a powerhouse even at 100%

Bucks not a head coach

Barely an OC

BC will live and learn

Wally is still alive looking for work

Same, he's the only player who had the nads to criticize the bogus changes marvelous stu wants to do, and he really gave it to him. He's ok in my books.

Benevides goes before Buck if he can't turn it around.

Ya, you're not going to win many games giving up 41 points. Offensively, they scored 25 points  and threw for 462 yards without their 2 starting recievers!!, we can only dream of throwing for 462 yds,  offensively they'll be fine, defensively, TJ Le and Peters were out, so they'll get better too. We have no one in our secondary that's hurt and our offense will never put up 462 yds passing, I m more worring about us than the Lions

Quote from: barbk on Today at 12:48:34 AMWasn't surprised to see the rider fans not supporting their grey cup champs (and they comment on our attendance not being a sellout)

Riderfans have NEVER "believed" our sellouts.  They think some empty seats in the top 2 rows of East Side mean it's not a sellout.

I knew they'd say it about this last PAS game, so I took some pics of the Rum Hut late/mid 3rd Q.  There's probably a thousand+ people in the N EZ concourse at any point during the game.  And I specifically picked a time all the half-timers were back to their seats.

The last game was a weird one in that it appeared a few blocks of seats near me were going unsold (usually mostly full), but by halftime 3/4s were full.  There must have been a ton of literal walk-ups to push us over the edge on the sellout.
Never go full Johnston!

I've been saying this since the chatter about Buck to HC started, like 2-3 season before he actually left here.  However, it's only year 2 for him there, so he will have a moderate leash.

But Buck & the O have much better weapons.  Everyone acknowledges the BC D is lacking firepower.  If anything Buck should be fired first for underperforming expectations whilst Bene is basically matching expectations.

Then again, higher ups often love to blame & torch a scapegoat.  Bene would make a superb scapegoat.

Well, if we had zero run game, and OC who never calls run, and a slinger who zips heaters that are always targeting 30-50Y downfield, it's easy to get 400+ passing!

Also, at least 125 of that was pure garbage time, so take the final number with a grain of salt.

He was still missing berry hill and cottoy, with those guys in the lineup he easily hits the 450 mark. He will shred our defense

This last game was puzzling to call the sellout! There were swaths of empty seats on both upper decks. "Sellouts" fail the eyeball test big time.

Maybe Princess Auto or some corp sponsor is buying up whatever is left.

Thursdays game looked min 1500 short of a sellout.

Lions are missing 2 top receivers and 2 top DB's, but it was the huge number of mistakes that lost them the game.
Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

Injuries are hurting every team. Calgary was missing Begelton and Adrian Greene. As you mentioned the mistakes are the difference in many games so far.

McAllister is something else. Two return TD's in 2 games.  That may have been the most significant turning point.

Lions scored a bit in garbage time to make it look closer than it was even though the stats favoured the Lions.
