Lots of talk about how bad the Eskimos are but things are crumbling around Wally Buono nearly just as much. The Lions are really, really bad. Wally really had a handle on QB's when he was in Calgary but in BC it's been one QB controversy after another and he hasn't done a good job of adding talent to what has become an aging team. Also his Sutter-like loyalty to guys like Chapdelaine who I've always thought was a terrible OC going back to his days under Wally in Calgary when the Stampeders were on the decline has also hurt the team. Lulay doesn't look like the long term answer and the rest of the team is old and lacking in talent.
Definately down times for the Lions and Eskimos.
