Easily the worst game of the season--home or away. Maybe the 25-0 debacle in Winnipeg is only other game in that conversation. Offensive line was eaten alive; and the turnovers are becoming a huge problem, as is the overall team tackling.

It's hard to how this team comes out of the West this season........looking like they'll be spectators in November for the Grey Cup game at B.C. Place.

Coach is more conservative than Wally buono. If you run the ball on 1st and goal from the 6 you better be playing like 3 down territory. Settling for fgs is just another recipe for a loss to bombers in playoffs. Got to go for the throat and put teams away. Show some damn balls.

Lions won this game with basically no help from the offense. I don't know what it is, but under VA they were 5-1 at one point. But they made the switch to Rourke halfway through the season, and the offense has stagnated ever since.

Unless they can find another gear down the stretch, they'll be watching the Grey Cup from the stands at B.C. Place.

Regardless of where the Lions season goes from here--at this point in time it's been a disappointing year, and even more disappointing has been their head coach. Just not a great season for Rick Campbell.

Starting with the decision to sideline Adams and bring in Rourke, and then anoint him the starter. The guy hadn't thrown a pass in earnest for almost a season and half. And for whatever reason, the team just looks dispirited and flat.

But I guess the die is cast. They signed Rourke for three years.....and they can't afford to carry an expensive backup like VA. Looks to me like the team is probably divided on the decision.

Pretty well lost any interest in watching this team. One more meaningless regular season game and then another likely playoff beatdown in Regina, and the season is mercifully over.

At which point everything needs to be on the table---led by the entire coaching staff. Simply nowhere near good enough.

Rourke looks like shit. People need to stop making excuses because he's been garbage since he came back. It was worth the gamble but he's clearly lost the magic he had a few years ago. Just a turnover machine that shanks throws into the ground.
