ShakyWalton Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Lions inexperience showed big time Friday. Such a great start wasted with stupid penalties, stupid play calls, dropped passes, and a very bad call by Tedford. Lulay still missing on the long ball. Oh well, hopefully they will learn from it and move on. Surprised at all the people calling for Tedfords head already though. I dont mind Tedford at all..he seems well liked by the players and supposedly knows his stuff...that was a dumb play call however but I will mark it up as new to the team and CFL..are there people out there wanting him gone already...thats a little premature.

I will always be reminded of Don Matthews going for the 2 pt convert and the win, instead of the tie against the Leos when he was coaching Montreal. Sometimes coaches just decide to show confidence in their guys. In both Tedford's and Matthews' cases those moves backfired, but it earns you points with your players.

If it works..its great..if it backfires its dumb..the latter happened/so I cant call it great,,,didnt see the need..they would have hemmed them in their end...as it was..it cost them a TD and momentum..but we will mark it up as a 1 off.

the last outlaw Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Tedford deciding to go for it on 3rd down was like watching Super Bowl all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read it more that a few times now on TSN and Sportsnet Facebook posts. Definitely premature. Couple of the people I see commenting that though have been against Tedford from the start. Unfortunately that result wont help put people in the seats. Just over 20,000. At this rate the Lions are going to have to lower ticket prices next season.

-DLC- Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well a Riders' loss makes ours sting a little less. Feels like a win when they lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well a Riders' loss makes ours sting a little less. Feels like a win when they lose. Well then it must feel like a lot of wins this year lol. I shouldn't really talk though, the Bombers have been brutal and keep using the worse QB (Brohm is garbage). P.S. I didn't mean to insult garbage, it can be useful.

Grapefruits Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Now that Glenn is gone from BC it's great to see him throw those momentum killing interceptions. Hope he is good to go next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Romo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Driving home from the game I heard Rider fans say "seasons over" if Glenn is out for a while. Umm season was over the moment Durant went down in week 1, the radio hosts were finally starting to say that by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Not saying it was a good call, just giving a little insight into why he might have made the decision... actually the paper said that said he doesnt feel bad about the call..he wanted to keep the momentum going.I guess its almost refreshing in a way to see a coach with confidence in his team..Wally and Benevedes would never have called that play..both were not gamblers that I recall.

The guy is nothing but a liability out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they weren't. Matthews was, which is why I mentioned that game against the Als. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otherwise Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Kevin Glenn is going to be out for the game on Fri in Edmonton. The Riders normally lose there it's not looking good with a QB getting his first CFL start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn can move the ball, get some TDs, and give you an opportunity to win. He may throw INTs, but it's better than two and outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 What happened to the little Hawaiian Antolin guy why is he not playing? He is basically a younger Tim Brown and has the same running style. He would help spell Harris and on punt returns. This Canadian guy Shaq is decent he strikes out a lot and does nothing the whole game but provides one big home run return a game. He is more straight line speed though and is not very elusive and good at juking and making guys miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
