Lawrence is having a terrible game.

Then our best cover guy just gets beat.

Firing right at Houston after the half.

Good coverage on that kickoff .. not much on that kick though.

I don’t mind TSN celebrating an owner and organization that’s doing right by their fans. That HAS to be applauded. The CFL needs more of that.

When they aren’t getting to Harris, it’s pitch and catch. Harris is 16/19 for 215 and 2 TDs. Hit. Him.

I won’t blame officiating if we lose this .. you have to rise above the marginal calls (which more often than not go both ways). We simply have to execute. A couple dropped passes .. maybe too conservative .. and outside the second quarter not much sustained offence .. that has to change.

Foxtrot’s crews are simply terrible.

That was a BS call on Bryant .. that’s simply a strong man with heavy hands. What .. the .. **** was that at the end of the half?

Nice hold of Willy there .. fist full of jersey doesn’t get called.

Offside Saskabush.

Slower start than I’d like but this is a great road game so far. Need to put 7 up on this drive.

Collaros has to put that on Schoen’s outside shoulder and the DB has no chance on that play.

Nice grab by Schoen.

No Pigrome on short yardage.

Anyone starting to think their plan may have been banking on Kongbo actually signing back here and not in BC as he did initially?

Still not enough money.

Also … Holm gets doesn’t get the respect he deserves from *some* posters on this board. He had a really good game yesterday and was incredibly disciplined on balls that begged for a PI call. Yes. He was beat for TD in the third but for the vast majority of this game he was in position to make a play on the ball. My only gripe with his play yesterday is that he’s weak in run support - he’s not a super physical guy.

Got way too conservative after the half. Attribute it to learning under LaPo. Just keep firing bullets. I get wanting to salt away a game but momentum can be fickle .. bury opponents and to hell with the optics of running up the score.

There is no Progressive Conservative party at the federal level.

I've pruned a few recent messages in this thread that provided no value to the discussion whatsoever. I like to think you are all adults and can play nicely together in this sandbox .. please do that.

He didn't demand a thing .. he simply went about rebranding *everything* during his term in office. Official announcements were no longer brought to you by the Government of Canada but by the "Harper Government" .. hell, even signage was subtly changed to reflect the Conservative party and paint Canada blue. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/tories-re-brand-government-in-stephen-harpers-name/article569222/ https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2011/03/03/tories_rebrand_government_of_canada_as_harper_government.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/a-rebranding-of-the-harper-government-1.1040716 https://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/entry/harper-government-rebranding-taxpayers-spent-over-86-000-helpi_n_1621875 I could go on and on with the links, stories and commentary but I doubt you'd listen given your propensity to argue in bad faith.

There's no way Schmekel is ready to play. I think it was you who, in an earlier thread, noted he was getting manhandled in both preseason games. He's a project and is currently a liability when on the field.

I'll never begrudge a CFL player for chasing cash but it sucks that Kongbo chose the Lions over coming back to the club who did right by him (on multiple occasions) so that he could explore NFL interest. He'd slot in so nicely in place of Jeffcoat and be an integral part of our rotation. Maybe he's not interested in being a "bench guy" and envisions himself a starter and chose based on that .. I remember there were some rumblings about that when he was here. Regardless .. still sucks.

It isn't true .. at least on the defensive side of the ball. I think it's fair to say that the depth of talent we have at WR / OL is unparallelled across the league and what I mean by that is it's relatively plug and play. Next man up and there isn't a massive drop off production wise. Every other area of the team lacks that same depth and the quality of our starters has actually regressed in a number of areas (DL, LB in particular). Someone goes down and there's a noticeable void.
