Kenny Lawler

Everywhere I read (including multiple US media outlets) blamed the low ticket sales and fan interest on the promoter and high ticket prices, not the city itself. Maybe there are some who will blame the field on Winnipeg but any educated person will realize it's due to the goalposts. Overall, it was a horribly planned event. All the talk of pre-game festivals and making it an "event" was just hot air and despite a promise that the starters would play, the only ones who did were the kickers. The NFL and NFLPA signed off on the field yesterday and this still happened. I'm not surprised the Packers balked at it though, even if the Raiders didn't, the Raiders weren't planning on playing starters and the Packers were.

Run tell dat

I was just going to add this as well. Duke Williams isn't coming out of the tunnel tonight to help him out, no Zylstra, no Derel Walker. It's Burnham, the decaying, fly-infested corpse of Duron Carter and that's it. I used to be terrified of Reilly because as @Noeller and @do or die said he always seemed to bang us on the 50/50 balls but I don't see that tonight. Even in game 1, a ton of his yardage was 2 throws to Burnham where we brutally missed tackles and then spent 50 yards trying to strip the ball instead of form tackle.

Not surprising. He was going bat-**** crazy at points during the game to the point of shoving his own teammates when they tried to calm him down.

Jefferson has been getting consistently better each week and I expect he will be making life miserable for Reilly and company tomorrow night. Add in Nevis, Fatboi Thomas and Tank Richardson in the middle collapsing the pocket and I think Winston Rose and Marcus Sayles will get their opportunities to pad the stats

I'm still waiting for the Pembina Valley one as well.

Bought mine yesterday😀 Also, after seeing that Walby burger on Twitter I am so glad I have tickets to the game tomorrow. Not because I want to eat it, but so I don't have to hear Rod ramble on about it ad nauseum for 4 quarters.

Just my opinion, but I don't want to pay Reilly's salary to run Lapo's offense.

Yep, pretty sure the only passes he completed were drags/crosses when his protection held up. To his credit, they were working in the 2nd and 4th quarter.

That's true, although they currently sit a little south of us in the standings. I'm not buying MTL or SSK stock with their QB situations, let's see how good the coaching is if/when the young QB's hit a rough patch.

I don't think O'Shea is in much danger of being fired anytime soon. There are things I wish he did differently but I'm in no rush to go back to the way things were before he (along with Miller/Walters) got here.

Unfortunately over the last few year's that #1 overall pick is about as valuable as stock in Blockbuster video.

Probably depends on how Matthews does over the next few weeks as well. If he struggles, I can see Lawler staying in the lineup when Adams is back. Of course, all of this is based on what we have seen over the last 3 weeks. It's entirely possible he vanishes after a few good games like a lot of import receivers have.

At the very least, even if Matthews balls out the next few weeks with Adams out it will be nice to know where we stand with depth in the receiver corps. As the season goes on, we will likely need to rely on guys like Lawler/Bailey at some point.
