REGINA — Vernon Adams Jr. and the BC Lions were unable to reach their goal of playing in the Grey Cup at home, falling in the Western Semi-Final to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday.
Six weeks into this Season 5-1 Then the excitement of Nathan Rourke returning to the team just as an injury sidelined Vernon Adams Jr. It was all downhill after that. Another promising season turned to dust at the hands of the Riders yesterday. I have to say both of my orange and black teams failed to live up to the expectations of their the fan bases (Baltimore Oriole fan here as well :-). The QB issue will be resolved one way or the other during the off-season, both men are more than capable of leading this team to the Grey Cup, given enough talent surrounding them to do it. Maybe they will be facing each other in next year’s Grey Cup
Adams has always been the QB who can have great games and then will have a game or 2 in a row where its like he forgets how to be a QB. throwing interceptions, unable to sit in the pocket and find his receivers and making mistakes. he’s gotten a lot better than when he started in the CFL where he was making mistakes quite often.
And just in the game yesterday, Adams got frustrated and that is when the problems began!
