[MG1]

Holy crap, it's hard watching them play these days. 3 turnovers already. Including another one yard line screw up. If it's not turnovers, it's dumb penalties and poor decisions.

Wally said the next time someone takes a dumb penalty, he's going to cut that person. Well, looks like he's not going to have much of a team left.

The saying, "When it rains, it pours," is so true with the Lions. Just when you say to yourself it can't get any worse, it does.


Mallett is the only good thing they've got so far. I hope the Lions turn it around.

[Hondaracer]

its only on the TSN HD feed right? i was watching it on my PVR but cant find it on cable

[Eff-1]

TSN HD is showing it. TSN SD isn't.

I have tickets, just waiting for my friends to show up before we walk over to the stadium. Crazy game so far. Lions are ridiculous.

[quasi]

Lets go Riders!

[MG1]

Awesome touchdown... dribble play. Wow!

Off topic, but I miss going to Empire Stadium. The atmosphere there was electric.

Didn't live here then but I agree the dome is not a good place to watch a game. Taylor Field has 10x the atmosphere and I'd imagine Empire used to be sort of like that. When I lived in Regina my dad used to take me to every game as a kid, loved it. Probably the best memories I have from back then.

Especially during a downpour or better yet, snow. You really know you've been to a game...........


So, a prairie boy, huh?

At least you're not from Alberta, LOL.

[MG1]

Just saw the Danica Patrick Go Daddy commercial on TSN while watching the game.

http://videos.godaddy.com/danica_video.aspx?ci=13906

Seen the commercial before a few times, but never bothered to follow up. LOL Nothing bad, but I guess putting it on TV is pushing it. Good marketing....

[MG1]

Awesome game. 'Bout time.

Is it just me or are the BC Lions' cheerleaders a little on the young side? Mind you, at my age, anything under 35 is young, but some of those cheerleaders looked to be in the JB range. LOL.

And no, don't post a "too old" pedobear jpg.

Get use to the weather when you live there. I went back for the last grey cup a few years ago though and I totally underdressed. My dad brought out the snow pants and I laughed at him. I'm not even kidding when I thought there was a decent chance I might die from the cold, never been that cold in my life.

[WakeMeUp]

That was a good game. Special teams were superior to the riders whereas in all the other games they've lost that battle. I've watched every game this year and been to 1 and it seems that their performance tonight might get them going in the right direction. They play the bombers and toronto next so who knows...

[Harvey Specter]

Went to my first game of the season last night with my dad, who's a huge BC Lions fan, and it was pretty fun. Pretty good game for BC in the 2nd half, 1st and 2nd quarters were awful especially the awful turnovers in the first quarter.

[Soundy]

They're not "cheerleaders" you sexist bastard, they're a DANCE TEAM! Get it right! :D

I dunno, Marissa's, what, 24 I think? Some of them are pretty young tho, and look a lot younger and smaller when you actually see them in person.

[MG1]

Holy shit! Are the BC Lions on crack? The 2 point conversion goes awry and is intercepted by an Argo in the end zone. All the Lions think the play is done and start walking away. The Argo just calmly runs it out and gets some serious yardage. WTF? When we played high school football, we knew to tag the guy. The Lions deserve to lose. They are not playing like a pro team.......... sad.

[Hondaracer]

if they lose to the argo's tonight the season is pretty much done, not that i care lol

[MG1]

Wow, what a great end to the game. No Argo bounce tonight. The Jackson 2 come through. That last play was hilarious. TO has not won a home game in over a year!

Hey, Soundy, a few of the Argo cheerleaders are pretty nice.

[MG1]

Which didn't count as the play was already dead.

Really? I just left the room and didn't bother to check it. The announcers sure made it sound like the play was still on.

The Argo's kicker did an awesome job tonight - 6 for 6? Some from pretty far away, too.

Anyway...........

[Soundy]

Really? I just left the room and didn't bother to check it. The announcers sure made it sound like the play was still on.

Everyone seemed to think it was... linesman even marked the spot when they finally brought the guy down around the 40. But... the Lions kicked off right after that, which wouldn't have happened if the play counted.

The Argo's kicker did an awesome job tonight - 6 for 6? Some from pretty far away, too.

They were saying he's something like 17 for 18 in three starts this year, and the one missed one hit the upright... from 50+ yards out.

[lilaznviper]

just finished watching the game tonight on my pvr and the ending was awesome
last td was awesome ahha totally unexcepted

i believe if he scored a TD, it would've counted. there was something like that that happened last season -- guy ran it all the way to the 10 or 20 or something, but no dice.

what a game though. holy crap was jarious on a mission when he thought he was gonna move to 3rd string!

I think it was 7-7 and 3 from 50+ yards. Good game!

[WakeMeUp]

Yeah that was quite the turnaround. A CFL game is never over till it's over. A few things:

-Buck Pierce is damaged goods. I really don't think he'll last long. Always getting hit and doesn't seem to take it well.

- Geroy Simon has a good game, especially the 1st half.

- O'neal Wilson had some nice catches, especially in the 2nd half on the crossing route on 3rd down.

- And did anyone catch the part where the announcers were promoting the Wendy's hamburger figure about to go out onto the field? You couldn't see much of the hamburger because some hot cheerleaders were right in the way. Rod Black said some awkward lines and then said that he'd "love to eat the hamburger". LOL

ahahahha, yeah, and that other guy was like 'get those girls outta the way' and i'm thinking 'wtf, you queer?!?! keep focused on them more!'

[MG1]

Saw that too........ the girls were very nice. I think the BC dance team (right term, Soundy?) is a tad better than the Argo's cheerleading squad. Next up is Winnipeg. I'm so glad the home games are no longer blacked out. At least so far they haven't. Is that because Wendy's and other sponsors are paying a lot, or is it because BC Place is packed with fans?

[Soundy]

Actually, the last home game WAS blacked out on regular TSN... but for whatever reason, it's never blacked out on TSNHD.

Bobby Ackles was adamant on the home blackouts being a good thing; I think they had a line around 35,000-40,000 attendance to allow it to be lifted. Now that he's gone (RIP) I don't know if that will be changing at all... AFAIK George Chayka is still just "acting President and CEO", I'm not sure if a permanent replacement (or replacements) for Bobby's positions has been named yet. A changing of the guard there might change the blackout policy. I don't think I've ever heard what David Braley's opinion is on the matter.

I know the idea of the local blackout is to encourage people to actually go to the games rather than sit at home and watch them for free, but it's pissed me off a few times in the last couple years, because I was a season ticket holder (couldn't afford to renew this year :() and couldn't make it to some games for various reasons... and couldn't watch it at home either.

[MG1]

Good thing I splurged on TSNHD. Good for Canuck games and now good for Lions.

I'm almost positive it's David Braley who is in favor of the home black outs and is the one who doesn't want them lifted.

[carisear]

correct. it is david braley. he's said multiple times "when we sellout our games, i'll lift the blackout"

man even chicago has lifted their blackout for hockey -- blackouts suck. i too had season tickets last year, and used to go to the occasional home game when i didn't, but when i don't, i want to watch it on tv! i have to use internet streams now to get around it =(

[Soundy]

I'm almost positive it's David Braley who is in favor of the home black outs and is the one who doesn't want them lifted.

Actually, it's a CFL policy, but Bobby was one of the biggest proponents of it. Hard to argue with a guy with his kind of business smarts, too (if you haven't read it, go check out his book, "The Water Boy").

As it turns out, TSN's current five-year deal with the CFL states that each team must lift the blackout for a total of 25 games over the life of the contract, plus blackouts are automatically lifted if a game is 90% sold out (hard to do in BC Place, not so much for most other venues in the CFL).

[El Bastardo]

This should really be in the sports forum

[sonick]

I've never followed the Lions (let alone Football in general), but listening to Team1040 all day, reading Bobby Ackles' book, and seeing it on TV has gotten me to follow it somewhat to the point that I may try and catch a Lions game before this season ends.

Zach Champion is still with the Lions right? I suppose he'll be backing up JJ if Lulay and Pierce are unable to dress next game? Any reason why Lulay is/was the 3rd string for the last game even though Champion has been with the lions longer from what I understand?

[Hondaracer]

This should really be in the sports forum

the canucks thread isnt/shouldnt be there..

[Soundy]

Lulay had a better TC... he earned the third-stringer spot.

buono makes some decent moves but i really have never liked his QB descisions

[MG1]

Nice catch........... on handed. JJ's throw was on the money. Nicely laid up. What was that? Three plays? The interference call was a little iffy.

[MR_BIGGS]

That was a great catch..not a great celebration..but we'll let that go....the flag was a little iffy.

[RS_Pat]

Went to the game tonight, and boy did it turn to shit after that first drive... Almost 400 yards rushing surrendered, wtf !

[Soundy]

Fucking epic failure... glad I decided to go hang out with some old high school classmates tonight, instead of accepting an invitation to the game.

[MG1]

I stopped watching mid way into the 4th quarter.

Sad, indeed.

[Hondaracer]

i went to the game, scored some killer club seats for $30 a pop off a guy whos friends didnt show

the lions are a joke and the "seat service" is a bigger joke in the club section, we tipped $7 on 4 drinks and it took them 28 minutes to get them to us and 3 complaints from the hippy who was with the guy who sold us the tix to get them

[Eff-1]

it's true. the lions club seat section feels like a joke. you're better off sitting in the stands down below.

[Hondaracer]

i didnt even realize there was a club section till last night, is GM place's club service is a 10, BC place is a -1

it was pathetic because the 2 servers who were older guys who looked like they were lovers were just sitting watching the game and they knew we didnt have our drinks, our hippy friend there got up and actually walked up to where they were sitting and ripped into em because they were sitting there with shit eating grins rather then getting us our drinks

i dunno, ive been to 3 lions games in the past 2 years and i dont see myself going again in the future, bad experiances every time

[Soundy]

The club seats are new this season, so I expect it might take a little bit to iron out the wrinkles.

My experience in the past, and that of a lot of people I know, is that the club has been really good about responding to complaints and addressing issues... I'd suggest emailing them and letting them know.

[Gumby]

Wow, we won? Such a low scoring game!

[carisear]

i did not think that we would win this game! i totally missed it too =(

i'll be watching the rematch next week though for sure -- montreal is going to come out pissed

[MG1]

Mallett ran for over 200 yards. Gladiator of the game went to Angus Reid.

Coach Buono ties the league record for coach with the all time most wins. Don Mathews has the record. Barring sudden death of Buono, he should break the record sometime this season. Go Lions!

[Meowjin]

my friend plays for montreal. He came down to my bar, wasn't happy lol.

[BT]

Went down to the game. Pretty frustrating watching the Lions miss on so many opportunites to score but I guess that's what's been happening all season. Gave up so many big plays leaving recievers wide open; frustrating as shit. And never got to saw any of that really explosive offence that one would expect from Montreal.

[WakeMeUp]

I got some good seats this time around and it was worth it... Great game i thought. Yes, it was low scoring but Mallet was running like crazy as noted above and the defense was incredible. They only allowed a field goal against the #1 offense i believe in the league! Yeah it was a good game..

BTW, do you mind telling us who your friend is, MajinHurricane?

Paris Jackson was dropping some catchable balls in the 1st half but was good in the second half. The BC defense was great, and AC didn't tear them up.

[taylor192]

I was at the game and if I were Montreal I'd be yelling at the league. Calling back a play cause the clock needed to be reset, lame.

[Soundy]

Defense has definitely been our strong point this season... offense has been the flaky part, especially the O-line - can only blame the QBs so far if the line in front of them is made of Swiss cheese.

[carisear]

Mallett ran for over 200 yards. Gladiator of the game went to Angus Reid.


sweet, angus reid was the guest host on team1040 last week friday. guess he figured he was famous now and had to have a big game :P

i saw the highlights with mallett -- good on him. he hasn't had much chance to run the ball in the past few weeks. i'm glad he had that monster game.

[MG1]

Game's on right now. Didn't look good for BC, but we just intercepted a pass. Go, Lions, GO!!!!!!!

[winson604]

Daaaamn so close but oh wells can't win them all. Overall a very good effort back to back weeks against the best team in the league. Defense was amazing for the most part especially on 2nd downs. Coming out with a split and played well in the loss in Montreal is a good sign. Looks like the boys have some confidence back and more goof things to come. Go Lions!

[sonick]

Shit. Jarious Jackson out 4-6 weeks minimum with torn rotator cuff.

From previous interviews from Buono, he doesn't seem to be a big fan of his.

[sonick]

^ Interview today, he seemed a BIT more open to the idea, not denying but not confirming the question on Pratt and Taylor. They are "looking into" considering Printers.

[MG1]

Looks like Bucko is playing tonight. 7 pm game time. If the Canucks are on TV, me no watch Lions game.

[MG1]

Holy carp, Korey Banks is on fire tonight. Two interceptions already. Buono lit a fire under his ass............

[winson604]

Congrats Buono!!!

[MG1]

Don Matthews was on TSN and what he said about the all time winningest coach record was kind of weird. He said a few nice things about Wally and then said that Wally got those wins by coaching two teams, while he (Matthews) had to get his wins coaching on many teams (including the CFL Baltimore team - remember that?). He's kind of right. Every time you go to a new team, you have to start all over and build. Not to say Wally had it any easier. One of the hosts on TSN later commented on what Matthews said and downplayed it.


It's really weird that not long ago, Buono was public enemy number one when he was coaching in Calgary. He dissed BC in an interview and things got heated up. I can't remember what it was all about, but it was big news back then.

Almost as bad a Keenan and whatshisnuts coming here after they beat the Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals. The only difference is Buono actually did the club a lot of good.

The counter to that would be it isn't exactly easy to keep a team good for so long either. But either way both are great coaches. Go Lions!

[carisear]

i vaguely remember that feud bc had with wally when he was in calgary -- i also kind of remember thinking 'wtf, why'd we bring that bastard here' ... boy i'm glad we did though. he still has MANY years of coaching left in him.

[MG1]

boy i'm glad we did though. he still has MANY years of coaching left in him.

Definitely good to have him here.

Isn't it funny that when tough guys get emotional they really lose it. Good for him.

On a side note (pun intended), it's good to see Kato still on the sidelines. He's been with the team for a long, long time.

Holy carp, Buono never did say never. Even last week he tried to avoid answering the question. He went on about Lulay and the other guy. How they were the future..... oh well. Printers. I've forgotten what he was like.

[winson604]

Wow talk about a brutal start by the Lions. They started the year really bad and I was patiently waiting for them to turn around as I believe they would but now on their 13th game I'm really starting to get fed up. It's been really hard watching them this year.

[MG1]

They pulled it off. Barely, but a win is a win. Bucko did alright - sacrificed his body. Great catch by Geroy near the end to keep the drive alive.

The two point conversion by the Roughriders could have been stopped if the two Lions players went for the block rather than going for the sack. Gave Durant just enough time to find the receiver. And that catch by Fantuz was pretty darn good. Old man Miles still has the touch, eh?

So after missing two field goals, Whyte redeems himself by getting the last three pointer and the game winner.

[Durrann1984]

To a degree, I can excuse Whyte. He's young, new and bound to make mistakes. What I couldn't excuse was the Lions being on the 1 yard line TWICE and not getting touchdowns from it. To me, that's unacceptable. Yes the Lions won, but it should have been by a larger margin. The offensive line gave Buck little help. Sure, he played like a man possesed, because let's face it, if he didn't, Printers would be suiting up for the next game. The defence bailed us out of what could have been another abysmal performance. At the end of the day though, I'm just happy they won!

[68style]

You guys think Buck played well? I was at the game midfield up high with a nice view and although he did get loose on a couple runs that were nice and he manned up at the end for the game winning drive.... should have never been in that position to start with!

He consistently threw high to receivers and at one point he put Geroy Simon in a position to get nailed by defender stretching to reach an easy pass that was thrown 3+ feet too high... and he missed a WIDE OPEN receiver downfield for a sure 60yard TD (catch+run)... the guy had no one near him for 15+ yards and somehow Buck led him too far on the throw!! Come on! There were several other misfires too... and a couple other times he threw precision passes into coverage that were caught so go figure?! He forced us to punt from behind our own 20 about 5 times in a row at the end when he couldn't get a first down which eventually led to Saskatchewan getting the tie.

Also, don't forget our only TD pass came while Lulay was playing QB.

IMO We won *despite* of Buck Pierce not because of him. Thank goodness Durant was his typical awful self or this game would have been a route.

[MG1]

I was hoping Printers would get a chance to play. I'm not a Bucko fan. Geroy's catch down low was pretty nice. That was all Geroy, no thanks to Bucko.

I didn't start watching the game till the second half. So it was that bad at the first half, eh?

Yes it was damn brutal, starting drive we drove right down to the goal line with ease then got stuffed 3 times. We come back again get stuffed twice at the goal line then settled for a field goal. There was also missed field goals one hitting the up rights too.

[carisear]

man what an ENDING last night!

i've said it before, and i'll keep saying it. You know why we won that game? cuz we got our ball to our STAR PLAYER. he's been a star for so long because you can depend on him. double coverage? means nothing!

still, we should've put it away by the 1st half, but i love cfl!

[MG1]

Definitely one of those WOW!!! games.

Paul McCallum kind of whined over the last few weeks about not getting a chance to play. He gets his chance and nearly cost us the game in the end. He did kick a few really nice ones. At least in the back half of the game. I totally forgot about the game, but watched it from about the halfway mark of the third.

Geroy wasn't that pumped after that last catch. Just another day at work for him, I guess. The Edmonton coaches were like wtf just happen?

I love the CFL, too. Great game, but the hype and level of players aren't near those in the NFL. Better players or not, I still love the CFL and support it.

[winson604]

LOL at Edmonton for the recent slide. Thanks suckas!

[MG1]

What a crazy start. Printers, Printers, Printers............... not that Lulay or Bucko are playing poorly. I just want to see what he can do.

[MG1]

Wow, good thing the Lions are playing a team that loves to give the ball away.

There's no such thing as a safe lead in this game. LOL.

BTW, popularity in the CFL seems to be growing. I noticed that at work the other day. Still NFL is supreme, but the Canadian game is very entertaining. Long live the CFL!!!

[carisear]

lulay is looking good .. but i still want to see casey!!

[carisear]

oh, and nfl isn't king in vancouver -- in T.O. yes, but not there. i personally know more people that like cfl as opposed to nfl.

[MG1]

Wow, a disqualification.

Dirty players we don't want.......

[MG1]

Since we're talking football in general, any of you go watch local college football?

T-Birds or Clansman.

I attended both universities, but I'm a T-Birds fan.


EDIT: I should have said my loyalty is still with UBC. I'm not a fan of the football team.

[MG1]

Wow, the coach of Winnipeg just said, "We're not playing too well right now. I have to do a better job."

Cool. None of this blame the players and shit rant you hear so often. Kudos to whoever the coach is.

[MG1]

Barron Miles 62 interceptions. Wow!



Holy crap, what a touchdown!

Lulay comes through.

[winson604]

All Lulay on that one. Kid ain't looking too shabby so far but he really needs to get Simon and Jackson at least involved.

[Frenchie]

Are you kidding me?

Mike Kelly is the worst coach in the CFL. I have no idea why he is still at the helm of the Bombers, especially after all the problems he's caused to their fans and the media.

OK, maybe he's 2nd worst to Bart Andrus.

[MG1]

McCallum's getting us out of the hole with his kicks. Lions are getting better each game. We still have Printers, the ace in the hole. Looks like Geroy only comes through when it counts.


Challenge flag down!

[MG1]

Fell out of pocket, LOL

[winson604]

LOL nice spin move Lulay woot!

[MG1]

Lulay is like a big threat now. Running game. Hilarious when the QB rushes for 1000 yard mark in the season.

If this is all by design, the coaching staff are geniuses.

Maybe Lulay just discovered he's got good people up front and scrambling isn't that bad. There were a few times he could have gone all the way, but decided not to risk it.

[Soundy]

Managed to listen to bits and pieces of the game... heard Lulays' run in the third-last play of the game and Giulio losing his mind over it, can't wait to see the replays on that!

[MG1]

Damn, that NBC Sunday Night Football theme sounds so much like "Shoot Out the Lights" that used to be played on CBC HNIC.

What do you guys think of Jamall Lee? I think it'll be pretty cool for him playing with Bret Anderson, since they were from the same school, but different times. I remember seeing pictures of Bret by the school gym. Guy was just a crazy athelete. BC Basketball MVP and BC Football MVP during his time at Fox. Just showing some Terry Fox Ravens pride:p

Did Blake eat Pratt's shorts yet? lol. I think it was Blake right?

[quasi]

As a Rider fan I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty jacked Printers is starting. I'm really hoping he's Hamilton Printers and not MVP printers.

[carisear]

well from interviews, wally has said that during practice, he looks like 2004 printers, so that's a good sign.

hey, since you are a riders fan, what's happening with jason clermont? is he getting the shaft or what?

[asahai69]

printers has gotta be doing voodoo shit to QB's in his way. he made it on the scene when dickenson went down for a long time. now hes got an opportunity again when 3 people infront of him go down with the same injury. lol

I think he just ended up on a team with a two really good slotbacks. Andy Fantuz and Ryan Getzlafs brother Chris are both younger and faster then Clermont. I think Getzlaf was sort of a surprise, they brought in Clermont with the intention of him being the #2 Slotback but Getzlaf took the job from him.

[murd0c]

Printers is starting today hopefully he can do something!!

[MG1]

Sweet Mary Lucifer, Printers and Geroy!!

I think that the 3rd and short attempt was not marked correctly by the refs. We should have kept posession. Oh well........

[Soundy]

Fak, Casey's looking pretty good so far!

[MG1]

Wow, that punt return by the Roughriders was interesting. Three blockers going to one side flushing everybody over and then the runner cuts back in. Old school move, but effective.

[MG1]

Damn, Canucks start in just over an hour....... gotta figure out how to do the picture in picture, LOL.

[MG1]

Old man Miles does it again. 64 interceptions!

[quasi]

Casey looks better then I thought he would but there going to blitz him all day. The lions need to get the run going or it's going to be a long day.

HOOLY! How does he do it?

[Soundy]

Miles AGAIN! TD and an 8-point lead, woot!!

Miles for Hard Hat Defender Of The Game, methinks?

[Soundy]

IF the Lions can hang on this one, and win their last two games of the season, they'll take the conference and host the Western Final.

Amazing given the horrible start to the season!

[Soundy]

Yay Luca Congi!

[Soundy]

FAAAAAAAWWWKKKK

So Nice, Casey did play well though. I hit my sports action and my team gets a win I can't ask for much more except a Vikings win tomorrow.

[MG1]

What a way to lose a game. All game with no interception and wham!

Should have kept in on the ground with 8 yards to go. Two tries and field goal if it doesn't pan out.

[carisear]

i only caught half of the game =( but from what i saw, printers was MAGICAL -- except that last play. tough loss, but that was a good hard fought game. montreal is gonna have an easy time in the grey cup, cuz judging from this game, not a player in the west will be unijnured.

i'm a hockey fan, but this game was 100x more interesting than the laffs game for sure!

Yup, I was switching back and forth, but it was more on the football game than the hockey. The whole family is into hockey more than football and they were like bugging me to switch back to the football game.

Hitting the goal post at the end of regulation time was so tragic, but in the end it was Congi's field goal that gets the win.

Anyway, next up, Calgary. 7 pm on Halloween night.

[winson604]

Fuck I can't believe we lost. I left the house right after the interception making it 30-22 with a few minutes left and thought that would be the dagger. Tune in to the radio later only to find out we're in OT and then lost. Damn that Durant mofo but Casey was actually pretty aight. Don't mind seeing more of him.

[carisear]

Anyway, next up, Calgary. 7 pm on Halloween night.


that'll be the first game i'm going to this season :) sure hope printers gets the start!

[Hondaracer]

lol what an absolute joke of a league the CFL is, i love how they try to potray themselves as an alternative to the NFL, and people like Dave Pratt always say that the CFL is better than the NFL

yet..games are Blacked out on TV?...

i guarantee you 80% of NFL fans dont even know what the term blacked out means..

I could be watching on TSNHD but i'm playing Torchlight so i'm watching the wings/flames game, but if BC was on i'd obviously be watching them, but really this just perpetuates the stereotype of a joke of a league, i have nothing against the lions at all, and i've posted my reactions to previous games here, but blackouts really are just pathetic.

[carisear]

^^ to be fair some NFL teams have blackouts too, but once again, that's all about owners with dinosaur way of thinking. i'm streaming the cfl game right now, and there are 1000 people watching it. imagine how many more people would watch it if it was on tv??

[Soundy]

^Bingo. Canucks used to have blackouts too, back in the day. Most teams in most leagues will lift a blackout if a game is within a certain range of a sellout. It's not unique to the CFL by any means.

Actually the NFL has the most stringent and hardcore blackout policy of any professional sports league. I don't really agree with the blackout policy either but since they don't black out HD I don't really care.

The reason NFL fans don't see blackouts is because most games are sold out all the time.



NFL blackout policy

In the NFL, any broadcaster that has a signal that hits any area within a 75-mile (120 km) radius of an NFL stadium may only broadcast a game if that game is a road game, or if the game sells out 72 hours or more before the start time for the game.[5] If sold out in less than 72 hours, or is close to being sold out by the deadline, the team can sometimes request a time extension. Furthermore, broadcasters with NFL contracts are required to show their markets' road games. Sometimes if a game is very close to selling out, but not quite there, a broadcaster with rights to show the nearly sold out game will buy the remaining tickets (and give them to local charities) so it can broadcast the game (usually, this would involve no more than a few hundred tickets because of cost).


On a sidenote I'd like to thank the Calgary Stampeders for beating the Lions and giving the Riders a home playoff game. Come next week just laydown and give us the WCF at home.

[carisear]

even though it's 2 straight losses, Casey Printers >> * other BC QB's. I fall asleep watching buck and JJ play. Lulay had some excitement, so i won't knock him.
He's still young and still has time to prove himself.

I say we start the campaign for 2010 starter right now! casey! casey!

[Hondaracer]

i think they would be crazy to look anywhere but Casey, why go back to these super fragile quarter backs when you have Casey who has more upsides then everyone we have as of now

[MG1]

I love how Printers started on that guy........ "You didn't hurt me, it didn't hurt. Bring it on!"

Yes. That would be awesome. Football was meant to be played in fog, mud, snow, and rain.

It would be awesome if the temporary stadium becomes a hit. Not enough seats to make money, but it would be nice. I would actually go to a game or two. Freeze your nuts off. Watch the cheerleaders jump up and down in the cold.

Now that Bucko and Printers are injured, who else besides this Champion dude is left? I recall it being mentioned that there is a player on the Lions team who played QB in the past. I guess they can get Bucko to suck it up and play injured.

[Soundy]

^that would be Paul McCallum

Actually watched him throwing some passed for receiver practice at training camp last year, he wasn't bad :)

[MG1]

Lions playing in Empire next year I can't wait to go to the season opener

Anyone seen the design/plans of the new stadium? Will they actually call it Empire Stadium? That would be cool, instead of calling it Office Depot Stadium or Hyundai Stadium.

[asahai69]

mccallum is prob more frail than pierce. lol. dude looks like he would get destroyed if he got a good hit on him

so what even happened to printers? I missed it cause I was watching the nucks game.

[MG1]

^that would be Paul McCallum

That's right......... I do recall him throwing the ball after a bad snap. This was years ago. He threw it on the numbers and the receiver dropped it. Gotta see plays like that once in a while.

K, Soundy, who was the coach who did razzle dazzle plays like that with the Lions years ago. I think it was the Cardiac Kids era. Short coach, IIRC.

so i FINALLY make it out to my first game this season, all excited to see casey play ... and sure enough, he throws twice, and goes down.

for the FIRST TIME EVER, me and my dad left the game early -- not just early, but in the 3rd quarter. we ALWAYS stay to the end -- even in stinkers, but this was unbearable.

here's to hoping we have a brand new team in 2010!

[Gumby]

Ouch.

With all the QBs injured, I don't think there's a point in making the playoffs.

[Mike5.0 cammer]

Can't realy expect much when they unload ther best players on the O line, they only had 2 players from last year, Buck Pierce didn't stand a chance

[carisear]

K, Soundy, who was the coach who did razzle dazzle plays like that with the Lions years ago. I think it was the Cardiac Kids era. Short coach, IIRC.


prolly bob o'billovich -- but he had lui passaglia to work with, who beside being the greatest footballer ever, had QB experience.

Should have Printers as the starting QB at least which makes for exciting football.

[The Hype]

Should have Printers as the starting QB at least which makes for exciting football.

Printers with Lulay and Champion backing him up. Pierce is too busted up, and Jackson is terrible. They've both had their chances this season, and they've proven to be incapable of being a #1 QB. Like I've said to people this season, Pierce can think, but can't throw. Jackson can throw, but can't think. No, they didn't get a ton of help from the O-line, but how many games this season did we see passes thrown too far, or too short, or too high, or too low. And I'm talking about when these guys have had time to throw the ball, not when they were rushed (and even when they were, these guys couldn't scramble if their lives depended on it)

[Soundy]

Should have Printers as the starting QB at least which makes for exciting football.

The excitement will wear off pretty quickly if he doesn't post some wins, tho.

I hope they re-sign Printers and label him as the starter for next season. He has been great when he plays for us and deserves it

[RTS]

Casey Printers is the only reason I would watch a CFL game.

Good job today.

Does anyone know why Buono looked really pissed off at the end? lol. It seemed like he was yelling at some of his players right at the end of the game.

HOLY SHIT WHAT A GAME!!

now THAT is what playoff football is all about!

cfl needs more games like this one!

and yes, casey printers will bring back the fans not only to bc, but to the league if he keeps playing like he has in the past 3 games he's played beginning to end.

next week: montreal. lets be the first team to win the east! can you imagine? BC vs CAL grey up??

[Eff-1]

He was yanking the jersey on one of his players as if he was trying to pull him away from a fight or something. Buono looked PISSED when he was doing it.

I saw that too. I thought he was freakin at one of his players who may have wanted to give him a "Gatorade Shower". Do they still do that shit?

Anyway, it was a pretty exciting game.

Jarious looked like he was going to cry he had to be one of them. Good win by the Lions I hope they beat Montreal.

[carisear]

it looked like he was pissed at aaron hunt. dunno what for though.

[Hondaracer]

lol that would be so funny if it was a little snap show because he didnt want the gatorade or somthing

[Harvey Specter]

He was pissed because someone, not sure if it was Hunt, almost got a penalty flag for I believe roughing on the last play but it was a great game overall. It's going to be a tough game vs Montreal.

Seems nobody is quite sure what it was all about... http://www.lionbackers.com/bc_lions/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17815

Wow, apparently one of the defensive backs for the TiCats was injured on the final play in OT when Martell Mallett made his run and didn't report it to the bench.

[carisear]

ONE MORE DAY!!!!!!

can't wait!!!!

i haven't been this excited for football.. ever i think.

[MG1]

The Lions have nothing to lose, but they're up against a pretty good team.

Wouldn't it be awesome if they did go all the way with Printers?

Go, Lions, GO!!!!
