IceCap Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It was painful to watch on tv, and I'm not even an Eskimos fan. It must have been torture live. What happened? It's the Lions!

bosrs1 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 It was painful to watch on tv, and I'm not even an Eskimos fan. It must have been torture live. What happened? It's the Lions!Watching on TV it looked like the Eskimos secondary took the night off. The Lions kept connecting with some nice passes at key moments and it looked like no one was bothering to cover the receiver each time. And this was with gifts from the Lions too with Johnson continually dropping passes that should have been caught deep down field. Still can't say I'm complaining. Great result for the Lions who've needed something to be happy about this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Doctor Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It was painful to watch on tv, and I'm not even an Eskimos fan. It must have been torture live. What happened? It's the Lions!In retrospect, it's something we should have expected. I've been sick for the last couple of weeks, so I haven't keeping up with a lot of the CFL news, so I wasn't aware until game time that the Eskimos were missing all four of their starting receivers, otherwise I would have picked the Lions for both of the pools I'm participating in...

Evil Doctor Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm okay with an Eskimo loss.Not surprising Unless the Eskimos are getting their receiving corps back and healthy within the next two weeks, you can fully expect the games will be easy Calgary wins...

Lee. Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 In other news, Winnipeg has sold out their next two home games, and there will be 250 temporary seats installed for the game against Hamilton. Depending on how fast they go, another 250-500 could be added for the remainder of the season.Four sellouts in a row for the Blue. Great comeback story.

I'm willing to bet there'll be a lot more out at the U of Manitoba location, unless Taz can get enough dragonflies out to the area to look after such things.

I guess it's been raining lots in Edmonton, but i'm not sure.

justie Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I love that comment by Doug Brown on Dave Stala: ?We?re not answering back, because Dave Stala, that?s a terrifying guy. We?re all extremely intimidated. That right there is an imposing figure. I?m just going to keep quiet, and hopefully my play can do the talking. Whenever you get a microphone in front of a big, lanky Canadian receiver, you start to shake in your boots a little bit, get a little nervous, get the terror night sweats before the game,? Brown said. ?Hopefully we?ll be able to overcome our fears and play well.?
