So let me get this straight, when a rookie starts and is immediately successful you say something like "I knew it. I always wanted him to start." But when a different rookie starts, one who seemed to generate a lot of excitement before the season, and then he struggles, you want to trot him out as an example of the problem with starting a rookie. I don't recall you saying anything negative about him prior to the start of the season, how come? And now that he does seem to be struggling, who would you play in his place?

Ya because all of the variables are more or less the same in all those examples. I realize that you need to do the "Bombers suck compared to everyone else" schtick, but c'mon man, you can do better than that.

Of course. I was not a fan of O'Shea's hiring. I thought that a rookie GM hiring a rookie HC was a bad idea. I knew that there would be some growing pains (at best) and we've had them. But to compare O'Shea's first year with the Bombers to Tresman's first year back with Toronto is laughable.

So you're comapring a rookie HC with Tresman... seems legit.

It's easy to want to start rookies, not sign veterans etc when you have no skin in the game. Bet your yearly pay on it and see how quick you are to want to start an unproven rookie.

Not much point in being a contrarian if you keep it to yourself.

Actually, I tend to read quite well. Pray tell how I misinterpreted you ever so sage musings?

Maybe this time, firing everyone would be just the thing to right the ship. I mean, when has this strategy ever let us down in the past?

Speaking of missed field goals and Grey Cup wins....

Watched it again after that original post!

You don't often see the mayors of Regina and Saskatoon together in their Sunday best!

It's pretty clear that the lineman at the far right of the pic is trying to use the old Jedi mind trick, "He's not the QB you're looking for."

If I were you, and knowing Lulay's injury history and our ability to get to a QB, I'd be more worried about how well you think your #3 QB can play, because if Jennings isn't good to go, there's a very real chance that Ross might have to after the 2nd or 3rd sack.

Every year.

Maybe because there is no spot in any booth that gives you "a perfect view" of the entire field and each player on it?

NFL Ref 1 - So how was reffing in the Great White North? NFL Ref 2 - Saskatchewan sucks, but other than that not much different from here. NFL Ref 1 - You mean to say that they screw up calls, just like we do? NFL Ref 2 - Yep, just like us. You know what else is the same? NFL Ref 1 - Let me guess, they have fans that think they have a hot clue what we do and how we should do it and that all our bosses should be fired? NFL Ref 2 - I see you've been to Calgary.

I understand it's part of the "CFL Referee for a Day" program that the league is running with the CNIB

Seriously??? Guy is in 6th place overall in receiving yards so far with one less game played than everyone on the list ahead of him. He's averaging over 100 yards per game and if he'd played 1 more game, he'd be third in the league overall. Give your head a shake man. He's a legitimate threat. Not to mention that no one receiver "wins us many games". There's a reason that there are 12 guys on the field. SMH...

Dressler is here now. Denmark is here now. Adams is here now. Harris is here now. (Yes I know he's technically not a receiver but...) We have a pretty good O line that will provide Nichols some time, so I'm thinking that we have enough tools in the toolbox that if other teams don't "fear" a specific receiver, they're still going to have to give the unit some respect.

And this year, he's cut.

We've been on the wrong side of plenty of bad calls. It's football. Stuff like that is going to happen. Sure, in the moment it's infuriating but at least we can take comfort in the fact that we're not in Saskatchewan. Can't put a price on that!

Imagine tens of people being that upset... The league could offer to rent a small bus and take them all for an ice cream,
