August 17, 2014: BC Lions vs. Toronto Argonauts

.

Receivers are not impressive so far. Butterfingers.

In that case... "Earth to Argonauts receiving corps: catch the freaking football; you're all adults that have been playing football for years".

It's that they're not making any tough catches. With our guys it has to be delivered right on the money for there to be any chance of a catch. A little high, or a defender nearby, or God forbid, the need to stretch, and forget about it.

[Wobbler]

Yeah... well, I'd say zero drops so far. BC has done a great job of hurrying Ray, and his accuracy has suffered.

[Wobbler]

Jeremiah Johnson is back to useless mode this week. Slow or weak might be acceptable, but not both.

[dmont]

.

Special teams are going to lose this game for us unless they shape up.

[larz-7]

[larz-7]

take it that its, in the books.too bad had a gut feeling we would take this .

Glad I decided not to go at the last minute. Thought I'd fall asleep on the hour drive to the Oshawa GO. At least I'm home and don't have the long trek after a crap game.

I could barely watch as those Argo uni's where a FARCE. The only thing Reebok left out was a blue glitter handbag. At least the Argos showed their softer sides tonight. Chicks dig that.

Ray was pressured and waiting on receivers all night long. Bad combo. He started tossing off of his back leg and sailing balls. Receivers who have no clue how to get open. The O line SUCKED! Oh have I mentioned SCREW ROGERS and it's jays. The great schedule just gets better every year. No home dates now for six weeks.

Basically they never stood a chance between the schedule and the lovely fashions. Now those uni's can be burned.

Good call not to go, I was on the GO heading back to Burlington by halftime.

Ya, the "gay"dars were sure pinging around those powder blue & white, fluffy uniforms last night. No wonder the Argos lost, having to play looking, and feeling like twinks, while BC was dressed for success and dark evil.

Ha, ha. That's an old, but still extremely funny insult.
If I were you, I would not hesitate to buy one of the new cute uniforms. You would look good prancing up & down the stands.

I'm sure the Ray bashers will be out in full force tonight.

[Rich]

I'm sure the Ray bashers will be out in full force tonight.

What would make you say that?

You are practically acknowledging that Ricky was not at the top of his game last night. I think all of us could agree to that. I certainly wouldn't say he's the reason we lost, but he's not entirely blameless either.

I can think of four or five bad passes in key situations that he missed, that might have made a difference in the outcome. Look, there was so much working against the Argo offence tonight -- all those injuries, short week, tough opponent -- that there was no way we were going to win if Ricky was going to play sub-par (for him) football.

We can't ask any QB to be at the top of his game 100% of the time. But 50% isn't good enough when his team really needs more from him. When a great team faces difficult circumstances, its top players need to raise the level of their game to have any chance of winning.

You mean the gay bashers? Because that's what some of the comments about the uniform sound like to me.

I thought the uniforms were Flashy...did they not wear all Powder Blue for one season in the late 70's?

They wore powder blue jerseys and pants at home during the 1975-76 seasons.

Disappointing game. The defense kept the Argos in it for as long as they possibly could, but you could start to notice them tire as the second half wore on. Logan had a big game running the ball. In essence what the Argos were able to do to Winnipeg is what British Columbia was able to do to the Argos. First half, I thought in particular the defense played well though.

Offensively and special teams a much different story. Tim Brown had a great game returning punts for the Lions, of bigger concern is that he's the second PR who has burned the Argos in the span of a week. The Lions were able to shift the momentum back to themselves with a Brown PR. The offensive line was horrible tonight, which led to much of Ray's struggles. BC has a very good d-line, and it's evident that the Argos have struggled against the better d-lines in the country. How many 2nd and shorts were the Argos unable to convert?

from what i seen our oline was out matched tonight .Yes Ray had a few bad throws but he also had ones that our receivers should of caught .Run game. the man of steele didnt have the legs to carry the pile like he did last week .Dont understand why we didnt try the likes of our big guy in Dupuis to take a shot.Our defense did what they could ,was a mater of time before they ran out of steam.
