Posted June 22, 20232 yr comment_638841 Who? The Lions at the Bombers What? Football! When? 7:30 Central Where? The parking lot, after the game! Just kidding, we're not trash. IG Field Why? Because we need spay and neuter kitties. Ed Tait's Preview: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/06/21/game-preview-bc-vs-wpg-6/
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638847 Bc sucks! Key to this chant being called out tnite is starting fast and physical. Bc is on low rest and in un friendly confines. Make ‘em work and hurt early and they will fold up before the 4th.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638848 I'm very unimpressed with BC this year and have never been a believer in VAJ. Maybe I'm off base and "they'll show us" or we have an off game in one or more phases, but I fully expect a resounding win for the home team. TBH I'm not even really nervous or anything. If everyone comes to play, we win in dominant fashion. We can't beat ourselves, though. BC sucks. Bighill will be chowing down on VAJ all night. Plow through a crease and go after it.

June 22, 20232 yr comment_638851 BC Defense probably feeling good about itself after the goose egg they provided to EE. Would be nice to score early on them to erase any world domination feeling they may have.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638853 first drive I'd be shocked if we dont punch it in for 7 to set the tone early....and then often
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638854 Did Marcus Sayles give our offense an ice cream flavour designation yet?
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638863 Hello gang. If Oliveira is not Good To Dance, then I would like them to use Pigrome in some running plays. Maybe in some 2-QB packages?

That's am interesting option...I would like to see us try that none the less Interesting fact as well...we haven't lost a home game to a West division team since 2018...crazy....and don't see that streak ending today
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638872 Janarion Grant owned the Lions last year. It started in Week 5 when he scored on a kick return at BC Place. The two sides played in Vancouver again in Week 19, and Grant took a punt 94 yards to the house to officially move past Keith Stokes for most return scores in franchise history. You’d think the Lions would’ve learned after that, but they didn’t. The Rutgers University product made them pay once again, this time in the 2022 West Final at IG Field on a 92-yard punt return. Their special teams coordinator Don Yanowsky left the team for the season owing to family reasons, leading to the Lions bringing in Mike Benevides as a special teams consultant. Benevides was the head coach of the Lions from 2012-14. It goes without saying, but Benevides better have a solution to slow down the top returner in the league. Grant also found the end zone on an electric 92-yard punt return last week in Regina. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/2023/06/21/battle-of-the-unbeaten

I dunno, but VAJ led that epic comeback against us in 2019 when he played with Montreal. We also traded Chris Matthews to Montreal just before that game. That was tough to watch. I wouldn't call VAJ elite level, but he can be very streaky. Regardless, hoping for a big W tonight to move to 3-0 and on top of the West where we belong.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638883 Our weakness, even last year, is playing against a mobile QB. I was hoping we keep Fox on the roster give more depth on the interior DL. Hoping that weakness wont cause us the game tonight.

He's not a bad QB by any means and he will burn us once or twice for sure........but that's kinda it, I think.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638891 I read on FB that Houston's wife just had a twins. Not sure if true. But could be the reason why he's out of the line-up. EDITED Edited June 22, 20232 yr by M.O.A.B.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638893 VAJ is one of the top 3 QB's in the league right now. Sadly, that's not saying much. Tonight, we play our first legit contender. 2nd or 3rd best team in the league. I expect them to put up a good fight. They have a good chance of winning if they can stop Grant, establish the run, & keep Collaros in the pocket.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638896 Hoping for this... and this... and this... and this... Edited June 22, 20232 yr by M.O.A.B.
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638897 I’m sure the Boys will put BC in there please, again. I to think we score early. If Brady is out we will be fine with Johnny and McCrae thought that’ll prevent Fox from active roster which could have a negative effect on the D line. Grant breaks another? Hmmm, likely Looking forward to yet another entertaining night at the park!! gulg gulg

It was interesting last game that Pigrome didn't see the field at all. I'm wondering if they are spending extra time developing him...slowly. Perhaps we see him tonight. Would be nice not to have Brown not doing the short yardage stuff.

June 22, 20232 yr comment_638906 we're missing a LOT of key pieces, which will make this game closer than it should be. Thankfully they're missing Rhymes, as well, which is a massive blow to that offense. I expect Lucky to hurt again by half time. I still think we can win, but I really hate how many starting bodies we're missing...

Lions are going to be scrapping for a playoff spot. Edited June 22, 20232 yr by GCn20
June 22, 20232 yr comment_638908 Is there a shred of evidence that Collaros is ineffective when working from the pocket? That's a curious thing to say. Yes, we know he can be effective when scrambling and throwing on the run, but if Collaros is able to sit back in the pocket and pick and choose his spots...... he will absolutely slaughter you.
