Wally Buono: ‘Stupidity’ hampering slumping Lions with Eskimos up next
VANCOUVER — Wally Buono’s explanation for the B.C. Lions’ recent failings is simple.
“Stupidity,” said the club’s head coach and general manager. “The games that we’ve lost in the last (month) have been basically a result of not being smart, not playing smart.”
B.C. downed the Montreal Alouettes at home on Sept. 9 to improve to 8-3 on the season and looked like a pretty good bet to host a CFL playoff game for the first time since 2012.
But following their bye, the Lions have dropped three of four, including back-to-back losses to Winnipeg that saw the Blue Bombers move past B.C. into second place in the West Division standings.
