1 MO. after a rough start the D played really well against a dangerous offense. 2 Nichols and the whole passing attack. Missed some near big plays by a tiny bit, and got jobbed by the refs a couple times. But nichols with a chance to win the game drove the team. JFG stepped up early with a ton of catches. Lankford with the long bomb, and thorpe was making some thing happen every time he touched the ball. That guy is a real keeper. 3 Chris randle. The huge fumble recovery, catch play which was crazy. Seldom gets his due credit for just being a blanket. HH loffler smashing i think sinopoli with seconds to go leading to a ball in the dirt. Human truck.

if we had an OC competent to run such a scheme sure. Some 2 back action, harris in a H back type back field some would be great. But weve seen a decent number of games with flanders as DI and 0 use.

Thats the question, he was a prized returner in college and returner prospect so i would think so but at the cfl level every thing changes.

They dont give up in the 4th. But a team that rides the momentum and disappears for half the game isnt exactly quit free. Still making it interesting at worst in the clutch is far better then what we were subjected to prior to the mos era.

Hope thorpe steps up. also hope we phase out the dressler run packages.

If he wants to be edgy and controversial, leak an idea of what type of injures guys actually have. Or snoop some info about neglist etc. Hard ball them in the presser over some one like bear woods etc. not saying thats a good idea, but if u want to be the edgy reporter that would be drastically better imo. Agree about that form of media not being needed any more. With knuckles on the radio, and taits articles on the bombers site other such media are kind of a waste imo. His articles on BB.com are just fantastic. Like, tait has allways been gold. But him just focusing on the blue is great. IF any thing id like to see more from doug brown. His experienced player pov, kind of insider stuff that isnt tilted for or against the blue, or the league is just great. The team, and the league need more :young" media/broadcasters like him.

QFT. Id say im pretty critical of coaching, and mos in general. But Idk how wiecek can say he doesnt take responsibility. Every time hes interview after the team struggles, or loses he takes all the responsibility. Mos isnt the most hated coach on the staff today. I think more people dislike our oc/dc then mos. Most hated bomber hc is a joke. Attendance is down a bit aside from the couple freak markets. The jets in part dip the bombers attendance once their season starts up. The team being average in record and only turning it around mid way through last year has more to do with it. The dark ages 2.0 really rocked the blue fan base, they will need to sustain some winning and play at a high level to rebuild the base back to the point we draw 30k every home game. not to mention stop pooping the bed at home. This is a poor attempt at a scape goat. The problem with the blue isnt one dimensional.

Interesting. A change of venue would be nice. Though i expect the same issues i have with the series will follow. It wont keep me from watching it if they make a s3 though.

He did, but goal line tackling for the reason loffler was the one who made the tackle is easier. Every one is much closer to the line. You also dont play for the hit nearly as much, even if you are a hitter over wrap n tackle guy like loffler. Sts is far different from D. Our defensive unit (when healthy) has a few exceptional 1 on 1 tacklers. Especially with the injuries, but also with the changes in personnel on the front 7 its hard to have that continuity. Gang tackling is all about one guy getting to the ball carrier and trusting that others will follow. We dont have that. What YPC did mtl end up with? 6.9, 24, 21, 7.5 for durant and 2 on one short plunge for vernon.

I wont accept that hes out till game day roster. I just cant. Not with mo and wild and 2 rookies allready.... please dont make me think of not having heath too. Maybe in a pinch we see how jake thomas can run a route... Or go back to a FB set with trent corney in the back field... Any one got terrence fredericks number handy btw?

I tend to agree, this is probably the best qb depth weve seen since KG backed up khari. And I dont even know before that. I think fever could pick up pretty well if nichols was hurt. Davis' lack of action would scare me greatly if he went in atm. Though he probably has more up side then fever. But the PTSD wont subside soo easily from seeing solid - good starters go down and pure bunk come in after. Not any time soon.

When tackling goes bad you see guys flying by, whiffing, not filling gaps, and guys trying to solo tackle. When tackling goes well you see a lot of wrap up and gang tackling. We havent seen the ladder in a long, long while.

As a bombers fan, 3 things terrify me. Other teams back up QBs, teams on a bad skid, and our starting qb getting hurt.

Giving up more points then we score, and only 2 tds in the 4th qt this season is a scary tread. hope we can get it turned around and smash OTT.

IMO not at all worth it for a guy to hold. That could leave us in a terrible spot if a WR gets hurt. We gonna have heath play both ways? Im not a fan in general of a player like dressler holding. I like the short yardage offense and holding to be done by the no3 qb. If you get to the point where that guy is your starter and he either has to do both jobs or move some one else to holding/short yardage, you have far bigger issues then short yardage and holding.

Watched s2 of last chance U. Wasnt as good as the first season and the way it ends makes me doubt if there will be a s3. A lot more bible thumping it felt like, and some of the player trouble seemed dubious. Still a good watch, especially for football freaks.

indeed, 1 of 3 guys to hit 2 grand slam walk off game winning homers in recorded history. One was in the 80s, one was like 20s i think. crazy feat. Fire say lite has begun. Liriano dealt for norichika aoki a 35 year old middle in fielder and minor league prospect teoscar hernandez. Hernandez is a 24 years old, was ranked 9th in the system for houston. Hes a corner out fielder in AAA atm. Hes slashing 279/369/485 (854 OPS) 12 hrs 44 rbi 12 steals in 55 games. The jays previously dealt joe smith to the tribe for 2 prospects. LHP (starter) Thomas Pannone Started in low A and transitioned to high A ball. He is 23, has a combined record of 8-1 1.96 era 120 ks in 110 innings with 28 walks and works 90-91. And samad taylor a 19 year old 2b in rookie ball hitting 300/328/467 for a 795 ops.

Like most here, santa and niakwa are tops for me. Ive been meaning to get down and try carbone coal fired pizza for a while. The best pizzas ive ever had have been coal fire cooked. Used to be a lil pizza shop in st vital that was really good, but that was ages ago. Off topic, original georges burgers and subs is my favorite burger n fry joint.

i wish cowboy lawler was a 5 rounder. hard fight to call. I feel like cowboy won more minutes but lawler might get 2 rounds. Crazy impressed with how cowboy held up to the power of lawler, i really thought lawler would have smashed him to bits. Wish lawler would have shown up to the 2nd round. Wow evinger is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tough. sweet jesus that was a beating. Heart of a champion for sure. Cyborg did what every one knew she would, looked really methodical. Very patient, fought soo smart. woodley fought smart, but boring. stuff 20+ take downs. Jon jones finish was a thing of beauty. just jaw dropping stuff, that little trip, the elbows to set up punches. Called out brock officially.

Yeah a whole lot, iirc DJ? was supposed to be the main event. Man condit and or holloway would make for a great card. but itll prolly be lesnar JJ which gets cancelled cus they both piss hotter then the sun.

yeah he coaches / teaches now. Hear good things about that. think hes still at cfc. That niche exists in all combat sports. too good to get the fight you need, not good enough to take the next step forward yet. One of the many down sides to the way fight match ups happen. Never got into following tuf i used to say one day ill give it a shot. Then i saw how many seasons it was.

we got more active players from the dispersal draft then any team and by a large margin. guy was such a stud. Poop and jeffcoat kinda feel the same this year.

Dropping from average to worst in the league will do that. Doesnt matter how bad some one is, if you dont have a replacement it can allways get worse. Even the worst cfl starters are a lot better then most fringe pros.

Some lines with decent players here or there, but even a few of those i think are over rated and over all i didnt consider the units to be above average. An elusive back and a qb with a quick release makes it look better then it was imo.

Imagine youre right on him being retired. If they are gonna dig up some one id rather that then say doerksen. I dont follow the local scene at all (shame) Edmonton and alberta in general is allways a hot bed for combat sports. That, and montreal/quebec. Ya the FNs are about pushing up and comers. Which is why gaethje would be great. Or Re pushing a guy like showtime.
