  1. TSN doesn't care or they'd have replaced both of them a long time ago. They have no competition. It seems the only money they spend is on the panel & Milt's suits.
  2. Didn't even give his team a shot at recovering the kickoff. No excuse for that.
  3. Bell Media cutting costs. Our country's media is totally being ****** over from Postmedia, Bell & Rodgers.
  4. The Als are better than that crap team from Toronto.
  5. How much better would they be with Ricky Ray?? A playoff contender perhaps? Maybe at 6 wins.
  6. It's all about intimidation, I guess but it didn't help them last night.
  7. Duron Carter trips & Lions Anthony Orange intercepts. That won't impress Trestman.
  8. Ottawa is IMO. Just look at their antics last night.
  9. He's called a Coach Killer. Has all the tools physically but not all there upstairs.
  10. Now Suitor droning on about Hervey criticizing Jennings. I'm sure this will go on for the entire game. Suitor loves Jennings & we know that he'll go out of his way to pump his tires today.
  11. No, that was my mistake. I knew he played RT but for some reason I forgot. Now let me say without a shadow of a doubt that Bill Frank was the best Blue Bomber Left Tackle of all time. Thanks for picking up that slip. He was a monster among men in the era when he played at 6'7 & 280 lbs. Most offensive tackles in the 60's & early 70's were 6'1 - 6'4 & 240 - 250 lbs.
  12. Boom Goes The Dynamite!!Not a good idea for a player's agent to call out his GM. Just go out & prove the man wrong. Action speaks louder than words.
  13. What Jennings will show up today? If it's the Dr Jekyll Jennings they'll win. If it's the Mr Hyde Jennings they'll lose. Ed Hervey has served him notice in the media that he better pick his game big time. He won't have Wally around after November to protect him & wrap him in a protective blanket if he fails.
  14. Well, for one Osh is older & more mature. He may be emotionally involved in the game still on the sidelines but he's not physically involved so that would ratchet a lot of his emotional reactions down more than a few notches. Now, he's a coach & if he loses it on the sidelines constantly then so will his players so he needs to keep his composure. Look at all the trouble the Esks players had with penalties when Jason Maas would go off on some inanimate object like his headset or Gatorade container when he threw his tantrums. The Esks are still dealing with that as a team because Maas ingrained it in their team culture. It was okay for him to go off & so too then his players as well. Just because Maas said he's a changed man doesn't mean his team will buy into being disciplined right away. It'll take time. This is what happens when assistant coaches who aren't ready are hired as head coaches based on a couple of seasons of success. They haven't totally figured it out yet. It takes a few years of being in charge to finally get it. Some do & some don't.
  15. There is so much preparation needed to be a qb at the pro level. If a player doesn't have the work ethic coming out of college I think it's highly doubtful they'll develop that as a pro player. There has to be a certain amount of motivation to do the prepatory work & much more both positive & negative. The Negatives: To be afraid of failure. To not care. To accept mediocrity. To not push yourself to see just how great you could be. To go out & play like stink. To not have the respect of your teammates. To not have the trust of your coaches. To not trust your eyes & hold onto the ball too long or force it into coverage resulting in turnovers. To have the game fly by you at warp speed. To fold under pressure. To make mistakes. To fail. To lose. To be cut. The Positives: To be confident throwing the ball. To be prepared for every situation presented. To quickly recognize all defensive sets & formations with certainty. To be able to exploit an opponent's defensive weakness. To be able to make quick decisions. To get rid of the ball quickly. To have your coaches trust. To play at a consistently high level throughout the season. To set a high standard for yourself. To trust your eyes when you see an open receiver or anticipate one getting open. To believe in your ability as a qb even if others don't. To have the respect of your teammates. To be a team leader. To not fail or be afraid to make mistakes. To win championships. I see more negatives for Jennings than I do positives. Unless he plays great in the remaining games the Lions have then next year he'll be elsewhere.
  16. Not surprising considering Jennings schizophrenic playing style & the fact he's Wally's guy. Hervey is handcuffed by the fact Wally wants him there. I think Wally still runs things even with Hervey there & no way Ed can get rid of Jennings until Wally is gone. Lulay is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned. No team can rely on a starting qb who gets hurt as much as he does. http://3downnation.com/2018/10/06/b-c-lions-gm-ed-hervey-questions-jon-jennings-work-ethic/
  17. We have the crossover at least sewn up.
  18. He's in Mexico being wined & dined by some Senior Men's league & too busy there to worry about officiating.
  19. Calgary's problem is they lack character. When the going gets tough they turtle. In big games like the playoffs & Grey Cup. It's easy to blow teams away when the bounces go their way but when these teams that are supposed to lose fight back then they can't handle it as they freeze up. The entire team panics.
  20. There wasn't any. Yet there was Duane Forde going on & on about inconclusiveness on the Adams catch. What was the difference between that & the Ellingson catch? Just a whole bunch of incompetents running the CFL officiating. Having video reviews just shows even more incompetence.
  21. That would be the best case scenario for us. It would also keep him on the field longer not dealing with injuries. BTW, the RedBla cks have to be the dirtiest team in the league. That head tackle on Dressler was so dangerous. Glad they imploded in OT thanks to Rodgers. LOL.
  22. What about the Ellingson catch where there was no conclusive evidence that he caught the ball inbounds yet the CC ruled it a catch? No way there was proof his foot was inbounds so it should have stayed a non catch. There was no clear view that showed his foot was inbounds. The CFL just looks so foolish.
  23. Having a bounce back year for sure.
