Lions at a loss to explain tough season as playoff chances slip away
VANCOUVER — Rookie B.C. Lions linebacker Micah Awe says he has little experience to draw from as he tries to understand the dire situation currently facing the CFL club.
Neither do any of his teammates.
The Lions are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time in 21 seasons, and both veterans and first-year players alike are having a difficult time dealing with their potential fate.
B.C. (6-8) travels to face the 10-4 Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday needing a victory — plus losses by the 8-6 Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders — to stay in contention for post-season play. According to sportsclubstats.com, the Lions’ chance of maintaining their playoff streak is 6.3 per cent.
