OT: Parabola Memorial B.C. Lions Thread IV

[Chairman Maouth]

Lions just broke the hearts of everyone in McMahon Stadium.

What a game. Road win in Calgary in overtime. Adams had himself a great game.

The dream is alive!

 

[3rd Sedin]

Funny enough we’re actually in control of our destiny for first place!

Realistically atleast this probably clinched us a playoff spot today.

Nice to see the resilience back in this squad

We've won the series against Calgary, which helps. It should keep getting better for QB Adams with more practice with the team. He had some rough patches tonight, but you could see the overall improvement. Our defense had a much better game, too.

Sorry to invade your board...completley random Q. At the end of the game tonight after the refs shot down Dickenson's challenge, a bunch of players were gathered around Adams Jr while he was seated on the bench. Beside him about a foot or so away was a Pennywise figure . I'm dying to know the inside story behind that, if anyone knows and can share. I thought it was awesome as shit.

I missed that, but I think this answers your question. I had no idea.

Lions’ Loucheiz Purifoy’s no clown, but he is a big fan of one

BC Lions defensive back has affinity for the clown from the Stephen King horror movies, and has been a nightmare for CFL defences for years.

Thanks for posting the article...I had to do a double take when I seen Pennywise just hanging out and had to know the story lol.

Thanks again, nice win tonight for you guys. f*** anything Calgary.

 

[The Stig]

Apparently there was a bunch of bullshit post game. Judge suckerpunched Whitehead. There was a dustup in the parking lot.

I watched the game and I wish I'd seen what you did but I missed it.

I like it.

Holy shit, Pennywise moved and now he's staring into our souls .

 

[Get North]

Missed the game. Sounded like it was a rough, entertaining battle. Not too high scoring, so you know some defence was being played.

Next week it's a rematch in Vancouver and there's definitely some hype for a back to back after this 1st game. Most importantly, we have a competent QB that can win games for now.

Oh, man!

 

[VanJack]

Lions don't need Vernon Adams Jr. to be 'lights out', or even as good as Nathan Rourke......all they need is a QB to run the offensive game plan and get the ball into the hands of the Lions big play receivers.

So it certainly looks like Adams arrived at just the most opportune time, even at the cost of a first round draft pick in the CFL Canadian draft.

 

[Canuckle1970]

If the Lions win tomorrow night against Calgary, they clinch a playoff spot. ROAR !!!

 

[VanJack]

Rick Campbell and Neil McEvoy have authored an impressive turnaround for this sad-sack Lions franchise. Now they just have to find a way to get the fans to return. But there's new ownership and new energy around this team.

Compare that to 'other tenants' of B.C. Place Stadium, the Whitecaps. Ugh!

I think the ship has sailed on the Lions honestly. I mean aside from the opener, the attendance has been rough, the interest in the league itself is almost non existent. When Saskatchewan can't sell out, the CFL has to be concerned.

 

[The Stig]

So here's the details for tomorrow night's Orange T shirt night. First 10k get a free shirt at any gate. The shirts are obviously orange with the Indigenous art logo on the front, very sexy. The team is also wearing the logo on their helmets for the game.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Great game. Adams continues his up and down play with an up game. I wonder if he can do it two games in a row,

A win is a win.....but it was against the 3-11 RedBlacks after all.... but the evidence is mounting that the only real chance the Leos have of making a Grey Cup appearance is if somehow Rourke is healthy enough to get back for the playoffs.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Very happy for the win, especially in our own barn, but I don't consider Ottawa's defense a good test. Hopefully, we keep building on this until/if Rourke returns and have a playoff game at home.

 

[Get North]

I thought Vernon Adams would be more athletic like a Casey Printers, but he has limited size and speed. Basically the same ability as Nathan Rourke who has taken off with plenty of runs this year.

 

[VanJack]

the think you notice immediately about Adams is how many passes get batted down at the line of scrimmage. He's a smaller quarterback, but he throws but ball from a three-quarters angle, which makes his passes even more vulnerable to being tipped or batted down.

The Leos need to re-devise their offense to get him out of the pocket more, rolling left or right. That would give him more clear sight lines downfield. He's a stop-gap imo. Hopefully Rourke is available for the playoffs.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Double header day - the best of days - Canucks and Lions.

 

[3rd Sedin]

And the Ms first home playoff game in 20 years!

Bombers resting Collaros and others. With Calgary’s loss last night they’ve really wedged the door open for us to get some distance ahead of them since we hold the tiebreaker now.

Should be a fun game in the gun metal greys!

I've yet to get into the MLB playoffs this year.

Which series do you recommend - the Jays didn't make it, right? Gotta be Mariners I think, who it would be even if the Jay were in. I may be a nationalist, but I'm not that much of a nationalist.
