Grapefruits Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Considering BC was predicted to finish in the bottom of the CFL, I'll take this season as a win and a step in the right direction. Lions won 2 more games at home this year and finished 2nd in the CFL. The Lions put an exciting team to watch on the field this year compared to last. Lions were simply outclassed today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well, that was what you call an ass whoopin'... Mitchell had way too much time to find his receivers today. I'll be cheering for the team with the worst name in pro sports when the GC rolls around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets sales were weak for the game. Was really hoping to see a tonne of empty seats. I'm sure with Ottawa winning tickets sale will improve.

Johnny Shotgun Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Lions well they just got hammered today....not the first time in a Western Final against Calgary. So pray for the Redblacks. But it will be their once in a century game if they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Good year, terrible game. Have to find a kicker, a pass rush and a db or two for next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 it was an unexpectedly good year man wally sure makes a big difference as coach he has to try to live forever i fear anyone .. solid year for the team . .with upside for next year our qb needs more experience and we just need a bit more talent on d stamps had a truly great year and deserve to win the cup this season nothing wrong with them finishing off with the championship 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Disappointing result today for the Lions. Game was over after the 1st half when they were up 32-0. There are many positives to takeaway from this season though. They were the only team to beat a good team in Calgary. Jennings took a step closer to being the Lions' QB for many years to come barring a Lulay comeback story. Overall, it was good solid season by the team but the team will bounce back next season and challenge for the Grey Cup again hopefully. Till next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very succinctly put. The midfield is ok as is, but the rest of the D is lacking. Maybe Leone will work on his accuracy over the winter, or maybe the old man will come back next season. The team did overachieve this year. It's a shame to see them lose when they got our hopes up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite know that they overachieved though. 4 of their 6 losses during the season were by 4 or less points. 10 of their 12 wins were by a touchdown or more. Their losses were close, and their wins weren't. Pretty much the definition of underachieving. You can say they overachieved based on their roster makeup, or early season predictions made about them, but they certainly weren't a lucky team.

ShakyWalton Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I used to like Dickenson when he played for the Leos....but I cant stand him now..he comes across as a smug .humorless twat....I hope they lose...but I doubt that will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I'd like to see one of these top CFL receivers get a shot with the Eagles in the NFL. I like Derel Walker and Bryan Burnham specifically they run good routes and compete for the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it too. This might be the most dominant team I can ever remember in the CFL. Just wondering about their O-Line. I think they had a couple of guys go out last game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I think it's Ottawa's year. Feeling it. Can't stand Dickenson win the Grey Cup and demolished the Leos' a$$es last week. As much as I hate that he did that, I still have tons of respect for him as he did bring the Leos a few Grey Cups in his tenure here as the main QB.

Bruce Boudreau Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/cfl-changes-1.3867744 This article is what is wrong with society. Everyone so scared to say how they feel because they need to be more inclusive and be politically correct. I'm surprised Ottawa is still in this game with Calgary so far....
