Buck will Pierce the Ticats tonight!


Ok, ok, I know. The title is totally lame, but can you blame me? Tonights match between the B.C. Lions and the Hamilton Tiger Cats will be a full on blow out unless a miracle occurs (Like BP and JJ go down to injury in the first 5 minutes of the game). I don't even want to fathom the idea of losing this game, so I won't. Instead let's look at what I hope will happen vs. what could happen:

I want to see...
1) Bucky Pierce get into a decent rhythm by the 2nd quarter that leads to a major offensive breakthrough (something we have been lacking).
2) Simon break out of this slump. Don't get me wrong, this slump has not been his fault. Defenses have honed in on this guy, double and triple covering him on every play. The key to this will be Buck recognizing the open man and burning the defense early for the extra coverage on Simon. This should open him up for some major grabs early in the 2nd quarter. Lets hope that's what we see.

What we could see is...
1) A defense dominated game that allows for the win but once again overcompensates for our lackluster offense that needs to get on track against this bellow par team.
2) A rusty quarterback that takes 1 too many quarters to get into rhythm preventing him and the offense from blowing up and breaking out of this slump.

So what will happen? Will we get what we want or what is the possibility? Whatever the case I will be enjoying the game from a fully catered luxury box!
