Which brings us to Saturday afternoon in the semi-friendly confines of BC Place Stadium, where Buono’s 9-6 B.C. Lions and the 8-7 Edmonton Eskimos engage in what amounts to a playoff game — only three weeks in advance of the actual post-season. The winner, especially if it’s the Eskimos, will then own all the pertinent tiebreakers against both B.C. “Yes, we blew an opportunity to secure a home playoff game,” said Buono whose Lions threw away back-to-back games against Winnipeg the last two weeks. So the more likely scenario is that the defending Grey Cup champion Eskimos will be getting the Lions’ full attention.
