Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Ripper replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I see no one has mentioned it was Dickensen that closed practices first, doesn't fit the narrative I guess -
Totally agree. The league passing the buck. They totally screwed up the call and don't want to admit it.
-
Yesterday on the sportscage, Rod Pederson was reading something from the league. Basically said they didn't review the play because it was challengeable. I didn't know this either. A lesson for all teams, if you don't like the call, challenge it.
-
There was one bad call against the bombers on the punt return td when the guy stepped out of bounds, but by and large the Argo's really got killed by the refs. The call we are seeing week in and week out is PI or illegal contact on players no where near the play. Total BS. IMHO the ball has to be deemed catchable, thrown to the receiver when the call is made. Not catchable equals no call. No more fishing expeditions.
-
If the refs are not looking at the qb when he throws the ball, I really have to wonder what they are looking at.
-
Not quite as funny when you are on the other side of the bad calls. That's what concerns me, this week it was the Argo's, who will it be next week?

Watching the rest of the teams play makes me feel better about where we are at. No one looks good. Been a funny season so far. Not one team has been really strong so far -
Not sure how the reffing could have been any worse. a win is a win
-
Got to get Harris going. If he doesn't play better today I'd say you lose the game.

This isn't the hill I want to die on.

I think with certain players getting to the NFL is what makes them great when they are here, before they go. They play their hearts out for no money so they can get out of here to make the bigger money. The realization that the dream is gone has them settle back here to get a paycheck and continue playing football. Chick and Dressler are two that played as good after coming back as they did before they went, although both suffered injuries while down south. Cory Sheets is one that probably regrets going back down to try again. I think Muamba will get better and better as the year goes on, or at least that's my hope
-
Sorry guys. I thought he played WIL, guess I wasn't paying that close of attention to their depth chart. Yes Singleton is definitely a very good MLB
-
NFL hangover, players are never as good when they come back. Curious as to who you think is a better Canadian MLB than Muamba?
-
I said consideration, never said he was on list. We sure missed him when we played you guys. Our defense was a lot better against Montreal and Hamilton 17 and 19 points against when he played. He is a starting Canadian MLB and he is good. He is worthy of consideration, that's not being a homer on that one IMHO
-
The drop off was very noticeable after Wild went out. To be fair, same could be said for a lot of teams at a lot of positions
-
The game in Regina, I thought the bombers did a great job covering the punts. I don't view Medlock as a great punter, but he is fairly consistant with his distance
-
Thanks for doing the list. Its very hard to make a list like this. Personally I would probably have taken a existing list and changed some stuff. I see the Riders with 3 for sure top fifty players, Labatte, Dennis, Roosevelt. Consideration to Holley, Muamba, And Bakari Grant. I disagree with White at 8, mostly because I can't stand that mouthpiece. You definitely have some Bombers too high, but any fan of his team would have a tendancy to do that
-
No way Brendan Labatte isn't on this list. He is a top Lineman in this league
-
Hamiltons entire team was undisciplined. should be two suspensions coming out of that game
-
Agree with your point about LT, critical position on the line, qb's blindside. As far as riders oline, I thought they played very well yesterday and have this year to date. Picked up multiple blitzes yesterday. Shut Chick down completely, was reading here yesterday how he was going to have multiple sacks
-
Well guys. Was sure nice to win one. We cheered our butts off again but at least this one we got to enjoy. Hamilton was never in the game for a second, it was over when we won the coin toss. Chick looks like the motor is done, he made some good tackles on running plays but wasn't over powering anyone on our line to rush Glenn. Collaros looked bad. Cant think of anyone who really looked good. Shovelface looks like he doesn't even care anymore. A total butt kicking from top to bottom.
-
I thought the OLine was pretty good. Harris didn't look very good and I thought he should have picked up that safety blitz when Nichols got smoked

Impossible to really say. He is always the one getting dropped into coverage. I'd like to see what he could do in a defense where he gets cut loose to rush. The guy has speed. I think there may be something there. -

The post I responded to was a bit unclear. Activated as in past tense as though was he asking if he had played last game which he did not, or has he been activated already this week even though it hasn't been mentioned so I wondered if he had heard something. Or was he asking if I thought he would be activated this week? Bottom line is it would be easier if you Manitoba boys would use English as your first language
