-DLC- Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Lions with another great showing. Rourke is the real deal. Broke the record for most yards passing by a Canadian qb. Burnham and Butler out though...don't like that. But good that they could get it done without them. Woo! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are camped on the shores of Stuart Lake in Ft St James with only the skimpiest cell connection. Would greatly appreciate it if anyone could give the score and any other information.

Gurn Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Should mention that the Lions at +85 point differential, have more than all the other plus teams-combined; many of who have played 3 games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the fans will come too. I'm definitely going to go to a few games this season, although my couch is so damn comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 What's great is the QB is from BC. When's the last time the Lions had an outstanding QB from its own backyard? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is looking like we will have lots to cheer about this year. Either the Lions are very good or the Elks and Argos are really bad. I am thinking that it is more of the former than latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The broadcast crew made a big deal out of it, but for those who didn't watch the game, Nathan Rourke set a record for passing yards by a Canadian QB, with 436 yards in last night's win. I was surprised to see that the previous record was held be Gerry Dattilio, (and not Russ Jackson) but Dattilio's 427 yard total had stood since 1981. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 rourke reminds me of my favourite lions qb, dave dickinson, in the way he finds open players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Rourke might bring fan excitement to the level Casey Printers did in 2004, but his playing style is closer to Dave Dickenson. Rourke is very poised in the pocket. Instead of scrambling all the time like young QB tend to do, he actually goes through his reads and checkdowns like a veteran. His actually throwing ability looks great too. Has some real zip on intermediate and deep balls. Dave Dickenson was super accurate, but didn't have the deep ball arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gut out win on the road against a very desperate team, trying to win their first game of the season. Bring on the Bombers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Hamilton fell apart at the end of the game and the Elks get the win, saves Edmonton from a 0-4 start. Edited July 2, 2022 by gurn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
