Shift-4

Recommended Posts

Only thing that bothered me in that game was something I'd noticed in previous end games; coach is still playing the starting  quarterback when it is "cleanup" time.

Going to look really stupid losing Reilly for the a few games, because he was playing with a 20 plus point lead and 3 minutes on the clock.

 

Liking Whitehead, Burnham and Cottoy. Offensive line is doing a great job of protecting the Q.B.

??? I was thinking the same, give the kid some game time experience. Ottawa's QB, don't know what's going on there? I've always wondered what the huge hype over Lapolice is, some pretty questionable decisions made on the field.

Good game. Reilly was 21 for 25 over 300 yards.

I'd like to see the running game perform a little better though.

I also question why they throw at times in games when they don't have to.  If you're ahead, running down the clock and within field goal range, why would you throw the ball?  I hold my breath every time.

No games today.

Lions 4 points up on Edmonton and Calgary, with a game in hand on Calgary.

Also holding the "crossover" spot.

2nd best defence based on points allowed.

Used to be the "real "cfl season got serious around Labour day, so I'd say another month and a half before it gets to that.

Very pleasantly surprised by the Lions d backfield. All those guys are ball hawks. One thing I've noticed this year, not much blitzing from the safeties, or lb'ers. Michael has 6 really good receivers this season too, and he's had time to throw. Had the Leos had a place kicker in the first game of the season, they'd be 5-1.
