Unfortunately ... kiddo shat the bed. 8-25 162 yds with 2 int. He was NOT ready!
WutFace

[blkgsr]

winnipeg also much better coverage on our receivers and we did on theirs that's for sure too.

you could notice in the play call how much they went to the run game....kids got a great arm, just needs to get used to the receivers and how they run their routes.....he's also not dealing with fast NFL caliber targets either

[whitev70r]

Kid was better but couldn't get the W from Ottawa ... but the Redblacks are pretty good this year.

Lions are 5-6 right now, not looking like BC will play in the Grey Cup at home :okay:

But good thing about CFL is that 6 out of the 9 teams (I think) are in the playoffs. Once you're in ... anything can happen.

[MG1]

Next BC Lions game is at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, BC vs the Ottawa Redblacks. Game time 4:00 pm.

[whitev70r]

Back in the winning ways ... Rourke was instrumental in getting a convincing W. Let's hope the team is back on track.

[whitev70r]

Another win for the BC Lions on Friday vs. the #1 team in the East, the Alouettes. Great W. And with that, for the time being at least, Lions are #1 in the West.

[MG1]

Addition of Betts helps. The defence is getting better at tackling, but still some work to be done. The game wasn't a convincing win. Some turnovers and plays that could have gone very wrong. The Mount Royal Birds shot themselves in the foot a few times. Anyway, Vernon, "god loves me more than you," Adams Jr. is itching to play. He looked okay in the end.

Just put that in there, 'cause I knew him when he was a kid (actually he was a man compared to the other 13-14 year old kids).

are we designated to win it all this year? lol

hey, where ya been? you can't leave me alone here as oldest guy.

[whitev70r]

Hard L last night vs. Hamilton in OT. Both teams played well, except 2nd half Lions defense could have been better. Tied then BC got a FG in OT. Ticats got a TD after an overturned PI call gave them a new set of downs at the 1 yrd line.

[MG1]

The defence has been the weak link for quite some time. Couldn't tackle anything. That aspect has improved lately, but last night's loss was due to a call that should not have been overturned.

As long as the Lions get into the playoffs, there's still hope. One game decides it - not like Stanley Cup playoffs (best of 7). Next game, we might see god's boy, Adams Jr., start the game. The power of god................ 'cause he's been chosen by god.


god bless..............

You obviously pay attention I'm just a local guy who keeps tabs via highlights but really don't know anything about the Lions whatsoever. My question is while our record has not been great how has Rourke been? Has he been playing well just that other aspects of our game failed us or has he been just ok? I know my expectation was he'd be just ok the guy hasn't really played in a long time can't expect him to come in tear it up.

[MG1]

It’s hard to say. I could be wrong, but the chemistry isn’t there. Some of the pass attempts have been off. He’s nowhere where he was before the NFL stint. Home town boy who really wants to do well. Trying too hard. Maybe receivers are more used to the other guy. I think they need to let Adams Jr. take some pressure off Rourke. Rivalry can be a good thing. Rapport with receivers……….. not sure. If I were a real fan, I’d go see them practice……… you know, drones, jbol.

[whitev70r]

Not doing well ... limping into the playoffs. Season falling apart, they were suppose to go to the Grey Cup and win it at home. Still possible BUT ...

[whitev70r]

Lions going with Adams Jr for final regular season at QB and Rourke on the bench.

It's about time that the Lions coaching staff started V.A. instead of Rourke! They should have started Adams Jr. in their last game against Saskatchewan.

Rourke has not been playing well. -overthrowing to receivers. Time for VA to help the Lions win a game to get some momentum going into the playoffs.

[Hondaracer]

Such a missed opportunity for Doman now not being able to host a playoff game.

Man, like the CFL has always been in tough for the last 20 years but it feels as fragile as ever with the 2 Alberta teams being irrelevant, they are kind of what proppped up the CFL

Doman had a chance to spark interest on the west coast but then the team went and shit the bed :/

[whitev70r]

I think Vernon Adams Jr won back the starting QB job.

He was 26-36 385 yds 2 TD, 2 INT (edited)

How do you go 26-26 and get 2 INT's lol

I'm happy the boys stepped up big time and had his back and they got the W. I wanted to see Rourke succeed as much as anyone else but they kind of did Vernon a bit dirty the leash they gave Rourke was a tad too long imo but whatever they're all saying the right things and being pros about it. Let's hope this gives us momentum now and we can see more of the BC Lions team early in the season.

[pastarocket]

Go Lions go! VA Jr. should be the starting quarterback in their playoff road game. No doubt about it. Adams played well enough in the win against Montreal to be the starting QB.

Lions will either play the Rough riders or Bombers in Saskatchewan or Manitoba:


The Lions’ opponent for the Western Semi-Final won’t be known until next week as both the Blue Bombers and Roughriders are on a bye and back in action one week from Saturday. The Bombers would lock up first place and a bye to the Division Final with a win or tie against the Alouettes (NOON PT, CTV). With a Bomber loss, Saskatchewan would claim first place by defeating Calgary (October 26th, 4:00 pm, TSN) and setting up a Lions’ visit to Manitoba on November 2.

[MG1]

The rapport between receivers and Rourke not great.

What I find great about the situation is if one of them gets injured, the other can step in and get it done. Win or lose, the Grey Cup is here in Vancouver. It's too bad the playoff series are away games. That's gonna be tough. They got themselves in this predicament. Nobody else to blame.

Roar Lions, ROAR!!!

[SkinnyPupp]

This game rocks

[SkinnyPupp]

So many hospital balls thrown by these QBs

[MG1]

Not looking good........ oh wells.

Wind and Fans at Mosaic.


I can get work done next weekend, jbol.

I feel for Doman. He deserves better. Team let him down. That's sports................



Where's god now, Adams Jr.?

[Hondaracer]

Discounted Grey cup tickets now

[MG1]

Oodles (can't believe I just used that word) of other CFL fans willing to pay top dollar for Grey Cup tickets. If Saskatchewan gets into the final showdown, we gonna have a wave of green invade our fair city.

Paint the town green

[Hondaracer]

Eh… even with that demand it will be $200 a ticket if that.. I’ve already got offers for free tickets the second the lions were eliminated

[whitev70r]

PSA ... it's the 4th Quarter in the Grey Cup and the score is close 17-16 for the Argos (surprise, they are playing their backup QB, right?) Now might be the time to start watching.

[MG1]

Whitehead, not so Lucky tonight.

[MG1]

Winnipeg losing is always a good thing, but I feel for the fans who live there..............



On a side note, damn, we live in a beautiful part of the world.

[whitev70r]

For those who are at the game, was the female streaker cute?

There's tons of footage on twitter

[whitev70r]

^ well, at least the Bomber fans got a moment of excitement ... in a blowout game.

[SkinnyPupp]

Highlight of the game for them LUL

[MG1]

Very mammarable.............

[snowball]

There's tons of footage on twitter

That's why it's called X now.

[N.V.M.]

nobody is claiming the $400K 50/50.

[whitev70r]

Heads roll, Coach fired. Just a blip though in the bigger landscape of sports, not sure how many people really cares.

The Lions hire former BC quarterback Buck Pierce as their new head coach.


Your thoughts on the hiring decision?

Season Home Opener Concert Kickoff Headliner is Snoop Dogg.

June 7th, 2025.


Whoops.............. didn't check out the other thread.

Can someone take 2024 off the thread title? Just leave it BC Lions.



First televised game this season is an exhibition game vs Calgary. May 19th on CFL+

[whitev70r]

Looks like the kid (maybe not a kid anymore) Rourke is back to his old form.

How was Snoop?

Mod, please change title to - 2025 BC Lions

[Hondaracer]

Snoop was even better than 50! And I thought 50 was pretty good

Snoop had a awesome set list and the encore I swear some chicks on the floor area were crying at the end :lol

[MG1]

Almost a pick six by UBC alumni, Ben Hladik. Overall, a decent game. TSN coverage was shitty, as usual, but AM 730 radio announcers were much much better. Next time gonna listen to radio announcers and watch the game on television with sound muted. Most likely not synced. Oh well.

[whitev70r]

Oh damn .. MG1, why didn't you tell me, Rourke tore his oblique muscle on Thurs game vs. Winnipeg. Lions lost ... this is not good, they put everything into a Rourke healthy season!

[SkinnyPupp]

So I thought I'd check out a game

https://media1.tenor.com/m/ssCur9_IdtMAAAAC/troy-barnes-cringing.gif

[whitev70r]

Holy cow ... what a finish between Lions and Alouettes! BC was leading by one point, then MTL kicked a field goal and led by 2. Then BC Lions win it with a kick like 00:2 seconds ... :lol. CFL is incredible.

Welcome back Rourke!

Sean Whyte was clutch with that 43 yard field goal for the comeback win.

-made some money on playnow.com using a promo code. Made a moneyline bet on the Lions beating Montreal haha.

Another barnburner of a Lions game. 41-38 OT. Glad they pulled a W out of this one, last game they were leading by like 10 pts with 3 mins left. Tonight's finish was pretty epic too. Watch the highlights, worth your 3-4 mins.

Do we need a 2025 BC Lions Thread?

[pastarocket]

Go Lions go! Good bounce back win from the Lions. They put the hammer on Hamilton in the last few minutes of OT.

Great game from Rourke. 408 yards of passing and a pair of TD throws. The defence was clutch in OT with the fumble recovery.

[whitev70r]

heartbreaking loss tonight to Ottawa Redblacks.

[MG1]

Lions will host the Western Semi Finals. Six game winning streak. Defeated the Green Team 27 - 21 tonight.

Calgary vs BC next Saturday. Vernon, I love jesus, Adams vs Nathan Rourke.


Winnipeg crosses over to face Montreal. Been a while (2019), since a crossover match has happened.

BTW, this year's Grey Cup (112th) will take place in Winnipeg (Princess Auto Stadium).

[whitev70r]

Really exciting game and wild finish coming !!

Friggin nutz ... !!!

[MG1]

Just heard the score. Must have been those final seconds thing. Missed field goal? one point. Safety? Last I heard, it was tied with under a minute left.
NVM, it was by 3 points, so field goal


asked siri.... watching baseball game with volume all the way up. I heard, "The Lions bested Calgary by the score of.............." they won. That's all I care about.

[whitev70r]

Whyte with a 43 yrd walkoff FG! Got to watch the highlights of the last few mins. Incredible game.

Now onto game 7 on the other channel.

[MG1]

Western Final between BC and Saskatchewan.

Lions ahead 7-1 with Rourke running it in himself. Long way to go. 3 minutes left in second quarter.

[whitev70r]

Really good game ... BC Lions showing a lot of poise and tenacity in a hostile territory. Just went ahead 21-14 ... in the 4th Quarter.

6 mins left though ... lots of time, that's eternity in CFL.

[SkinnyPupp]

Clock is taking fucken forever to run out

Need a first down here

[SkinnyPupp]

That is some absolutely horrendous defense

Just sit back and let them collect first downs all the way down the field, stopping the clock each time

[whitev70r]

Oh well ... good fight BC Lions. SSK scores TD with 11 seconds left and the fat lady sung. Very entertaining 4th quarter, gotta give them that.

[N.V.M.]

here's something to cheer about.
