Bombers @ Als: The Game Day Thread
True enough but the guy is like 36 now and not the spring chicken he once was. Westerman and Jeffcoat get a pass because their good contributions outweigh their bad. Hurl had a pick in week 1 where Glenn hit him in the hands. Take out his week one stats and he has 32 tackles in 8 games.....and thats it. Not a sack, pick, forced fumble, nothing. Hell, the game against BC he DID NOT REGISTER A STAT. Not a single freakin' tackle. He is averaging 4 tackles a game. His numbers are down right embarrassing for a starting MLB. He just doesnt make plays. There is no defending him.

Bombers @ Als: The Game Day Thread
Our D really does need to tighten up. I thought Knox was better and made a couple nice shoestring tackles. Im not concerned about Leggett or our DB's. Randle and Heath are as solid as they come and Alexander/Walker are really young but have played alright and have bright futures. Fogg is kinda meh but i think he's out when Walker comes back. I really think that Hurl and Loffler have been the biggest issue this year. Im sorry but Hurl is junk. He's slow as dirt and always 2 seconds late to the play. His brutal missed sack on Durant could have been a massive turning point. The guy is the worst MLB in the league. I cant remember the last time he made an impact play in a good way. IMO Loffler has been the biggest disappointment. I mean we all knew Hurl sucked but we all thought Loffler was going to be the white Ed Reed of the north. If he's not dropping gimme INT's he's got Hurl syndrome arriving 2 seconds late to the play or missing a tackle trying to destroy a guy. How many times last night Nik Lewis catch a 6 yard pass and turn it upfield with Loffler arriving just a bit late. They were clearly feeding him last night and he had like what? 10 catches? And we couldnt break a single 1 up?? Seems like he's just a bit slow reading the play unlike Randle who was in Durants head. If he's not blowing guys up he's not doing much out there. Really disappointed in him this year. There really is no solution due to the ratio seeing as both are Canadian. We just have to hope they improve. Having said all that were are 7-2 baby! But we also give up the 2nd most points a game this year after Hamilton which is really starting to scare me. I really hope they can tighten up before the dam bursts at some point.

Bombers @ Als: The Game Day Thread
Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Other than Mincy theyve got a washed-up BStew and a bunch of no names in the secondary. Would have liked to have seen them go deep on some one on ones and let a guy like Adams go up and get it.

Yikes! What a grind. Lapo calls a freakin' Picasso last week, then reverts back to his 5 yard crossers on 2nd and 9 comfort zone. But a win is a win! Good teams find ways. 5 in a row baby!

2017 NHL Off Season
Definitely a big risk at 8.5 over 8. All the players around him in that salary bracket are all established NHL stars. Paying for possible future returns.

2017 NHL Off Season
Please dear lord tell me noeller is not saying RNH is as good as Scheifele. Also please tell me he is not saying Draisaitl is as good as Malkin. That is some crazy Rider fan bullshit right there. RNH couldnt hold Scheifele's jock strap. Draisaitl had 1 good year playing a lot with Mcdavid. 8.5 per is a lot of cheddar for 1 good year. Ill take Scheifele's contract over that all day and twice on sundays.

Bruce Johnson Released
Really? The only article i could find said he pulled up lame in training camp covering Denmark?

Bruce Johnson Released
I dont think its really that much of a reach to be honest. No one had any idea what his "injury" was. These guys are always spewing out tweets and Johnson was no exception, all through training camp, then nothing. Even after all those comebacks and late wins, no re-tweets, nothing at all? Almost seems like he wasnt feeling part of the team anymore. You release a serviceable veteran DB for "roster management" reasons? The whole thing just seems odd.

Bruce Johnson Released
I dont buy that. Was there ever a clear understanding of what his injury was to start the season? I noticed he didnt tweet at all after training camp. I wonder if this was more of a demotion than injury and he was cranky. Remembering how much MOS was creaming himself about Carmichael in camp. Maybe he was tired of sitting on the bench watching Carmichael get roasted and asked to be released.

Lock of the Week 8
Might as well go down with a Bomber. Andrew Harris.

Addison Richards Retires
IIRC he was part of the IMWT posse. Joe Mack was a pig headed and arrogant clown. A "my way or the highway" guy with a "i was in the NFL" (lol, yeah the cleveland browns) chip on his shoulder who refused to listen to the people around him. He was complete and utter failure as GM, who placed zero value on Canadians, and threw darts on draft day because "he knew better" than everyone else. He reminds me of Chris Jones minus the bravado and dark clothing.
