Bruce Boudreau Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Tough luck for Kierrie Johnson who scores a touchdown and then gets hurt. Now he is out until October and the Lions lose their most explosive player. Looks like that spot is Nick Moore's to lose now. Lulay seems to be off on his throws to his receivers which is odd considering he had all the last half of the year and the off-season to develop chemistry with all his receivers which are all the same. The injuries to receiving corps won't help Lulay but the home field should be enough for the Lions to get back in the win column this week.

Kamero89 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Game likely to be blacked out. Such BS, if you live beyond Surrey, and get off around 5, there is simply no way to get to the game with out missing a chunk of it. It's either a 45 min skytrain ride from King George (not the 15 min David Pratt makes it out to be) or an up to two hour drive, ANNND you have to find somewhere to park, and also pay for that parking. Excuse me for not wanting to spend $60 on a ticket, an extra $20 on parking, just to see 3 quarters of football. Not to mention the money I would have to spend on food at the stadium because I would have no time to stop for dinner, which is another $20-40. $4.50 for a bottle of freaking water.

Kamero89 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 With the Whitecaps making the front page of the paper more and more recently, this blackout could not come at a dumber time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerIce Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 You guys need to invest in TSN HD! I did. The only reason I did was so I could watch BC Lion games when I'm not attending. Monster game by Harris so far, can't wait to see what he's got in store for us in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobopan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Maybe its just me but the offense has been pretty bad for the most part all 4 games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamero89 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think it's $7 extra for HD? C'mon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerIce Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 You need a box which is $150, and you can't order TSN HD alone, you have to get a sport package, which is $60/month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpcurtly Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Another frustrating game to watch(no blackout on the island). I guess we didn't deserve to win though.....Khalif Mitchell should be suspended for a while, IMO. You can end careers doing that crap. Glad the eskie was ok and returned. On to week 5.

canucks.brad Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 whitecaps getting a lot more coverage now. bonehead move to blackout the lions game. whitecaps brand slowly transitions to 2nd behind the canucks imo. i give it 10 years, the whitecapsfc brand may be stronger than the canucks.

Bruce Boudreau Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 To think in a couple of years the Lions hope to be able to blackout HD games also. By then most people should have moved on to 3D tv's and will be able to bypass the blackout probably. About the game itself. The Lions as a team are not playing up to their standards. Special teams has been awful both on coverage and returns. I'm starting to think all the great field position Yonus Davis used to constantly give Lulay and the Lions offence hid some of the flaws. Tim Brown is not a very good returner. He had one good game against Hamilton and has been shutdown since. Lions special teams coverage units are gonna have nightmares trying to contain Larry Taylor next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Whitecaps will never be more popular than the canucks, still less popular than Lions. Don't understand what happened there....Lulay needs to start going but i'm not worried about the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
