Somehow this outcome was almost worthy of pity. Continued flaccid defense coupled with a feeble running game and passing offence that took the day off was the order of the day. Injuries to key players were a strong contributor to the games’s outcome. In addition, the lack of talent depth was on full display. The Lion’s potent offense was outed as being paper thin. Goff regressed into his old familiar pattern of frustration when things went ‘south’. Also, do not forget some of the self inflected regressive penalties.

On a positive note, this could be the one ‘horrible’ game most teams manage to produce in any given season. Be warned though, we’ve seen this scenario before for many years. Two or three more games will determine if our Lions are pretenders or just truly inept. Coach Campbell and staff are the frog in the water and the temperature is rising.
