I still remember Mike Gray deflecting Matt's pass straight up in the air & then catching it on the goal line. Wow!!!!!

Well, you can talk about a certain poster bemoaning the roster all you like but the reality is Osh wouldn't have released or traded Zach away & keptvBrown. So, wishing for something like that is like trying to find pixie dust as it would have never happened. The Bombers had no intention of bringing Dru back. Walters & Osh set their sites on signing Streveler. Even though Brown went to FA, got a raise & a chance to start in Ottawa, the Bombers actually dropped him.

Have to cut it down. Minimize the hits.

Dave Ritchie was a real character. One the players & fans could really relate to. Rest in Peace, Dave. You'll be missed.

The CBC really cut their sports department. They had some top notch talent that were let go. I'm sure from a lack of funding from the Mulroney & Harper governments. I think even Chretien cut funding as well. Dunigan was a warrior in 1991 vs the Stamps when he played with a separated shoulder that was frozen.

Great comeback for a title. http://www.reactiongifs.com/seal-approval/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=seal-approval

Good for Don Wittman for calling out Winnipeg Enterprises in this debacle with the field & the failure to properly remove the snow. WEC was a total waste of taxpayers money & being on the Committee was a real perk for City Councillors. Free tickets for any of those politicians with seats in a private box for any event that went on at the Stadium or Arena.

Vegas for me & Goalie Marc Andre Fleury. That smirky little bastard. Got hot at the right time in the 2018 Western Conference Final against us. I don't think he's played at that level since & has bounced around like a basketball.

You know the CFL haters will be all over this. One, the residency rules the league has & two the fact that he went to an NFL TC & actually played.

Hey Noeller, for a guy who's supposedly blocked me, I see that I'm still in your head. Constantly. 24/7/365. You know it Noeller. I am your worst nightmare. Somebody please be a **** disturber & copy this so he can read it..

When I say rookie, I'm saying it in the sense that Brown's still green & inexperienced. Brown's now expected to walk in at TC & be The Guy. he'll suddenly have the entire weight of the team on his shoulders. which he didn't have in Winnipeg. he'll be expected to perform from Day 1 despite learning a brand new offense. Trouble is, he won't be in as good of an offensive system as he was in Winnipeg. His line blocking won't be as good. The run game won't be as strong although they have a back who finished with barely a thousand yards. Receiving corps isn't as good as ours despite having Rhymes from BC. He'll need to put his Big Boy pants on. We saw what happened to others in his place. Ottawa is where quarterbacks go to die. With Schoen & Lawler, Zach developed a tendency to Go Big on a lot of passing plays. As you say, if he gets back to getting rid of the ball quickly but still stretching the defense downfield with a few deep shots then he should be fine.

And you wonder why football fans who favour the NFL laugh at the CFL?? This is a joke. Doesn't matter. There he is pictured in a Seahawks uniform on the field playing a game. Perception is everything.

As a fan I can be pissed off about anything. You reacted negatively to my comments so that means you didn't like them. It's just the same old typical **** from fans who have become spoiled & are never satisfied. One guy plays well in a few games as a rookie. Then he becomes the Next One that fans love. Just get rid of the old vet standing in his way because he's starting to suck. Meanwhile the old vet threw for something like 4300 yards on a team that went 14-4 in 2023 & 40-10 since the CFL resumed play in 2021. It's ridiculous. I can understand that with his injury history but we'll see how he fares this season with the changes on the line. Hopefully, he does fine.

It's not personal. You say he's slower processing. Okay well, I just want you to prove your point. And just saying, "Well, I noticed he seems slower".... Slower, what? It pisses me off as a fan with so many experts ready to write the guy off for a qb who didn't even have 5 CFL starts to his name. Let Dru make his money & get beat up in Ottawa. We'll see how he does. Well, if you played as a running back in the CFL then tell us why Zach is processing slower & I'll take it all back & say sorry.

How can a guy who's already attended an NFL camp & played for the Seahawks be considered a Canadian college draft prospect? Shouldn't he be Neg Listed?

Dru Brown is playing behind a bad OL. Yeah, they've signed some veterans but we'll see. Ottawa has always signed free agents but have never amounted to much. I expect Brown is this year's version of Nick Arbuckle.

i remember a couple of years ago he was crying because there were no Stamps OL named to the Western Conference All Star team. He was convinced the Stamps line was better than the Bomber line. I called him out on X & he wasn't happy being criticized.

I think it was George Cortez of the Stamps who bamboozled the Esks in the 2001 Western Final coming out with the five & six pack receiver set for the first time as well. The Eskimo D had no idea how to stop it. You look at how innovative the Stamps were back then as well as the qb factory they had & look at them now. Just a shell...

You can see the necessity of a short yardage team & why it came to be in the CFL. Even with the one yard off the LOS on the goal line, we couldn't score. It looks like Willard Reaves was out of the lineup so they had FB Sean Kehoe #35 & HB Pat Cantner #33 in the backfield. Cantner would have been replacing Reaves. Kehoe was Reaves blocking back all season. Neither had any speed to go outside. All they could do was run straight ahead thru the A & B gaps & BC shut that down. With the receivers they had, the Bombers should have thrown the ball. Those 2 Canadian backs couldn't get the job done. What brutal playcalling by whoever was the Bombers OC at the time.

I bought this album in 1971 when I was in Grade 9. I played it over & over until I wore out the grooves on the album & it started popping & skipping.
