Wow what a collapse. Totally misread BC. Reilly has nothing to work with beyond Burnham
BC is one of the worst professional teams in the world these days..
Burnham himself is a terrible route runner-- All he can do is run deep and win a jump ball- He can't run anything short--
Jarious Jackson was one of the worst QBs in the CFl when he played- All he did was throw it deep to GEROY-
Bc's american talent is amongst the worst the league has seen in decades-- Who are these guys they are bringing in as pass rushers? They get absolutely no pressure on the QB and never beat the offensive lineman.
Bc the most mentally weak team for the past 7 seasons--
It may have to do with not having legit Coordinators since the days of the Dave Ritchies and Benavides as a defensive coordinator- But in those days they had much better talent-- Korey banks Carl kidd etc dante marsh- gerry simon paris jackson
Interesting theory i have-- the dispirited play by BC can be explained by this--
Even if BC went 18-0 and set all kinds of records the fans of BC have firmly rejected this team as a legit PRO team- They are barely drawing 15,000 a game now---
They play in an ANCIENT stadium,- They need a new state of art outside facility that would bring some atmosphere to the game--
Nice view of the mountains would be nice--
So if BC goes 18-0 and wins the grey cup i firmly believe that they still will not draw over 25,000 fans--- I think the Lions are no longer viable in BC--
Which players would want to come to BC when you have to pay $2000 for rent, and if you have a family $3000 a month to $4000 a month--
Is this why guys like BIGHILL and HARRIS went to Winnipeg where RENT is likely MUCH MUCH CHEAPER and cost of living is peanuts--
As the property prices went up like crazy in BC from 2013-2019 the last things on peoples mind was the BC LIONS-- The canucks similarly had a bad run at that same time--
Detroit was notorious for having losing teams when the auto sector shut down and the economy collapsed in DETROIT---
Ive been to BCs practice facility in Surrey BC-- Its located in the crack area of Surrey- Full of Drugs and garbage there-- I can't believe that is their training facility--
At this point barring a complete overhaul the same problems exist in BC--
It doesn't matter who we bring in as COACH or QB when we have the same useless coordinators and very very weak talent--
From a physical standpoint it seems like Edmonton and calgarys players on the D and O lines outweigh BC players by a good 20 pounds--
BC is not a PRO TEAM-- not even close-- It shows in their game play--
We cannot assume just because they are in the CFL that they are a PRO team-- They are a mickey mouse organization--
They have been foundering since 2012 and are the same every year--
They are going to get destroyed in Calgary next week!
