By the way, Bif Naked is replacing Steven Page for the Lions block party prior to Saturday's game as Page has tested positive for COVID-19. One Republic is still on the bill.

Attn: @puckhead - It's 27-27 at McMahon with about four minutes left in the 4th quarter. The rouge is in play.

Good game to kick off the CFL season, Stamps were down 24-14 at the half, but rally to win 30-27. Bo Levi left the game late though with an apparent ankle injury.

I know it's only the Elkskimos, but that was a real good first drive by BC.
9 plays, 68 yards, 7 points

James Butler on pace for 108 TDs this season.

Some real coffee table defense by Edmonton on the last one.

 

[puckhead]

42-6 at the half.
Rourke 18 for 20, 179 yards, 3 TDs
Six different receivers used. Just nuts

We want 100!!

BC may have gone into the prevent defense a little early.

Edit: Big sack there to stop the drive. 42-15 with 5 minutes left in quarter 3. That's a lifetime in the CFL.

That's better - 3rd and 1 and Rourke rumbles in from about the 17 yard line lol

 

[mattola]

Did NOT expect that

 

[puckhead]

Drives:
TD 8
FG 1
Punt 4


That's phenomenal for a three down game

 

[puckhead]

From the Leo's perspective, biggest stat is only 4 penalties for 12 yards.
Granted, it's easier when you have the ball all night, but penalties have just killed them so often in the past few years.

The Toronto Argonauts are in first place in the East and have yet to play a game.

Man, if the Lions can continue to draw even 25K+, that would be great.
