The British Columbia Lions will be trying to avoid their first 0-3 start since 2002 when they travel to Edmonton to face the Eskimos on Thursday. "It's time for people to be accountable," B.C. quarterback Buck Pierce said, "We have some veteran players that aren't playing up to their potential.”<o></o>
SBG Globalreports that early CFL Betting has the public taking Eskimos at Home.
The Lions may have a tough time getting their first win considering Edmonton will want to redeem themselves from last week’s embarrassing 50-16 loss to Montreal. "You take a loss like that and it makes you want to come back and work harder," said Edmonton slotback Fred Stamps. "You want to practice harder and just be prepared for the next week." Stamps knows that B.C. is a dangerous team that will be ready on Thursday. "I don't play attention to their record too much," he said. "This is a professional league. You can come out and lose the first two games and win the next five."
The Lions were 0-2 last season but then won four of their next five games.<o></o>
"There's a sense of urgency but I don't think it's a sense of panic," said B.C. slotback Geroy Simon, "We have a lot of veterans on this team that have been 0-2, as recently as last year. It's not a sense we are panicking. We know we have a good team. We just need to go out and play with that good intent and that good intensity."
The Lions made some changes this as they released left tackle Walter Stith and receiver Ryan Grice-Mullen will be replaced d in the starting lineup by Rufus Skillern. "If the changes send a message, so be it," said head coach Wally Buono. "We're trying to improve.” The Lions will play the game without veteran kicker Paul McCallum who is out with a knee injury. Rookie Sean Whyte will take over the job this week.<o></o>
