    UFC

    Ufc 205 was GREEAAAAAAAT. I was surprised woodley beat wonderboy, hope thats a rematch down the road. McG crushed alvares, maybe he fights nurmagomedov next or defends his FW belt.
  2. I think the ideal set up is having both fogg and mcduffie back on kick offs, and the hot hand / fresh guy returning punts. Mcduffie should be used more in the offense, and hope fully fogg finds improvement and becomes a starter again. Pretty much. If we win i expect a close score, if bc wins then the offense probably steam rolls us. Saw this quote on FB a reported talking to TJ heath. apparently manny arceneaux has 0 tds against heath in 4 games this year. Thats bloody impressive.
  3. If he does that and TO continues to struggle hmmmmm....
  4. Mcduffie isnt in over fogg. Theyve been in together while healthy for an extended period of time. fogg is hurt and cant play. If any thing talent wise Id say smith vs gurley. Or richards in over a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. Its gotta be the best talent in one line up weve had all year though.
  5. Wow some hideous passes. xD bryan randall was his teams first pick too
  6. Ride or die with smith still. I hope he has a huge play offs.
  7. you have to quantify that previously serviceable NI WRs have struggled and seen few catches. (kohlert and JFG) Not to mention we struggled to keep harris involved in the pass game for a while etc. (plus struggles of some imp wrs too) Its not time to throw the baby out with the bath water. But it certainly doesnt look good. Durant was a guy with head case / locker room questions. This team isnt about that at all.
  8. Pretty much. Tbh id rather cut bautista loose then give him a ton of cash. Its just too much risk. It would be great to have a real lead off hitter, then donaldson, then EE and morales hitting 4th. Blue jays also reportedly signed Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The 6th ranked international prospect cuban 2b. He has the tool set to play In field or out field but 2b is where hes played his pro ball in cuba. Hes 23, and supposed to start at AA as a 2b men.They gave him a 7 year 22m dollar deal. He swung the bat well in his last 2 years. His last year OPSing at an over 900 clip.
  9. Yeah, kinda thought dickenson would get it for the stamps being the top again. But buono and mos would be more deserving.
  10. blue jays sign DH kendrys morales to a 3 year 33m deal. Had around an OPS of 800 last year with 30 homers. almost 850 the previous year with 21 homers. Big bat, stays pretty healthy, not getting younger but a good replacement bat. The fact we brought him in and hes a DH only probably means we only keep 1 of bautista/EE. And probably EE, whose still a good 1st basemen when joey bats really needs to go to DH to extend what time he has left.
  11. Glad we are getting pretty healthy for the play offs. Hope fogg will be ready to return and back up DB. Thanks for the report. None of our NI wrs have been good enough this year. Nor have we used them well. I dont think its an upgrade. More of a side grade.. A guy who hasnt fit in or been well used here for a guy who hasnt been good here at all. Id make the switch for the variety in gurleys tool set. Gurley in TO was certainly better then smith here. Smith last year vs gurley in TO last year / this year IDK. My expectations for either this year are low.
  12. loffler in 13 vs daniels in 11? Best safety in the league this year vs not the best wr on his team, or in the division.
  13. Contracts are a mere technicality. Which OL was it that was sask born, played with MTL became a FA signed with the riders then went nah on second thought im gonna sign another deal to stay in MTL? I think a lot of people assume its still the old 1 year plus an option contracts. Would be nice if we had a reliable resource for following that stuff mid season. http://www.tsn.ca/eskimos-sign-qb-reilly-to-contract-extension-1.471943 Thats the most info ive seen in a while.
  14. It should. But ben cahoon proved you dont have to be canadian to be a great canadian in the cfl. certainly should. Im darn sure it used to come out later too. The only thing the east division deserves this year is a Tee time and a thank you for the draft pick card from the bombers and leos.
  15. Elimimian is an excellent player. Id say hes more deserving then any defender in the east. But the impact MO has had on the game this year is far greater imop. His coverage, scrapping to under plays to get LBer type tackles while being a DB, the turnovers and defensive TDs its been one of the best performances you can get out of that position.
  16. Weve seen some silly picks for allstars and awards before. But this is just a trash list.
  17. No way banks wins that. He was red hot for like 5 weeks early this year. But he wasnt even the best return man in the league. And medlock had the best season by a kicker ever. Medlock clearly wins, right? right?! Man that list was a joke im not even sure >.>
  18. http://www.cfl.ca/2016/11/10/cfl-announces-shaw-cfl-award-nominees/ Wow. Mo, bond, loffler, all snubbed.
  19. Say what? Its the same short pass possession offense meant to grind out clock, yards, and first downs. This years version does it better, but it is still clearly the same system. It does the same thing our D gives up and believes wont work. Might make a case? read the wall of text in the first post stating the facts. Then go and look at facts posted to the opposite. Oh wait... xD I dont think they will be big in football any time soon.
  20. Cant say how happy I am to hear that. Tbh, id rather see gurley in and smith out. Then actually make use of mcduffie as a DI, but that wont happen.
  21. I dont think they will throw elite money at him, and shouldnt. But I do think they will give him legit starting QB money for say 2 years even if we lose and hes brutal. Hes allready a MOS guy. It doesnt take clutch big game performances for that. Atleast for guys who play D/sts. They have tried but yeah. nichols/willy and glenn/khari is all I can think of. And both times it was pre determined going into the pre season who the starter was.
  22. Its the all star list. That means all the stars after the riders roster. It like the NBA. Riders roster = cfl all star team #1 cfl all stars are team 2. Imop we should have had 2 guys on the OL, ours was hands down better then BCs for the year. But over all its a good list. Having 2 backs per division is kinda meh though. Even knowing harris would have been the one to lose out in the west. Fantuz/tolliver more deserving then CJ gable imop.
  23. xD trade em a 6th and some secret back room stuff to give em more later. just to watch the head of all rider fans explode.
  24. People forget too easily that glenn tore the same ottawa defense that gave us FITS with bench warmers to the sum of 25/30 382 5 tds 0 picks. While nichols put up 3 tds and 4 picks in 2 games against them. With a horrible OL and limited offensive weapons. Nichols threw 5 tds, (6 picks) in his last 4 games. Nichols needed to start, to shake off the first ott game. To get sharp and get the offensive in sync. But he should have been pulled around half time.
  25. You mean behind the worst OL in the league vs in his time this year arguable the best? where are you getting this insight of milano convincing his gm to sell the farm like he did for willy? More with less? An Elite Ol and RB for the nichols era. Tons of talent at WR. Though some guys seem very poorly used. Maybe smith is a bust. But gurley too? Worst offensive production of any play off team. No way thats doing the most with what he had. Idk about that. Has our scheme changed from belifool? Our play calling has changed and weve seen some wrinkles but its very much the same offensive system.
