Bombers came into that game so full of themselves that they thought Calgary would just roll over. They had no respect for the Stamps. Ritchie didn't have the team ready to play as they were too busy showing off in font of the cameras & talking trash into the mics all week. I remember being ticked off the entire time that Ritchie didn't put a lid on it. No way Calgary was the better team & yet they won.

I thought it was brilliant.

I remember a quote from Walters a year or two back where he said something like Canadian receivers aren't as important as they used to be. Kind of a dumb thing to say considering the play of Sinopoli & now Wolitarski. And our guy was ignored for most of the season before LaPo & Nichols clued in that he can play. No reason why he can't be a thousand yard receiver in the years to come. But talk about our GM just giving up on Canadian receivers considering all the former great ones that have played in the CFL.

Can't see Ottawa winning this one but that's why the game is played.

Wow, that's a lot of revenue but they have a lot of expenses obviously including the debt repayment program they are saddled with.

Mike O'Shea started the day a loser of four He ended the day a winner of one Things change.

Diesel's Power Bomb.

Or he suffers a severe knee injury that affects his mobility but the team plays him anyway knowing he won't say no.

He won't sign another contract to play here. That should make both he & the fans happy.

Just look at 1986 to see where quarterbacking has headed (in a downward spiral) since: YVR: Roy Dewalt YYC: Rick Johnson YEG: Matt Dunigan, Damon Allen YQR: Joe Paopao YWG: Tom Clements/John Hufnagel HLT: Mike Kerrigan/Tom Porras YYZ: Conredge Holloway YUL: Joe Barnes YOW: Todd Burgess/Todd Dillon I think out of that class that every team today could have a great to decent starting qb. Kerrigan was a lot like Nichols but had a stronger arm & very good accuracy. Quarterbacked the Ti Cats to the Grey Cup over Edmonton that year. Definitely better overall qbs than today.

Thirty two million? How did you come up with that number? I agree that most players were screwed except those athletically superior offensive linemen. Most of them are just taking it easy lying in the tall grass when it comes to the CBA.

Quarterbacking is **** because of what we pay our rookies. Why would any qb or player want to come here from the US when they make $55,000 Canadian or whatever then have to lose money in taxes & exchange once they return to the States? The CFL is run by offensive linemen who are the most entitled & coddled group of players in the league today. For the most part, all CFL teams do is draft OL in the first round. So they get the big contracts & start before any other Canadian players get the chance at any other positions. Do you think they care about any other rookie players? The rookie salary has to be significantly raised to get good players to come here & perhaps stay. It's really bad now. Almost embarrassing.

No, it won't. Miller's not that stupid. Is he?

Thompkins played well. However, Wolitarski is starting to stand out every game now. He needs to be thrown the ball even more. He could be our Brad Sinopoli.

All our receivers look bad in this offense. There's no stretching the field.

Again, two backs means a receiver sits, hasn't been used since Mike Kelly was here. Before that when all other teams last used it over 20 years ago. Flanders will play I'm sure if Harris or Demski can't go. An extra Canadian (likely Couture) goes to guard & Neufeld slides out to tackle.hardrick sits. Hardly a great way to make the ratio works.

Well, you tell me, coach. Let's use a formation that hasn't been used in the CFL since the 90's to win us a few games. Alrighty then!

He might have closed to 115 yards if he hadn't dropped those 3 catchable balls as well.

He would be if he could make contested catches the way we see other receivers do all the time. He can't.

We had one deep ball completion tonight. That's it. Just one for 49 yards. How many in the games before? We are not a deep threat team.

Looked like more than 13,000 at IGF.

Been that way ever since he got here. He's not an elite receiver. He'd be the number 3 receiver on most teams. He is supposed to be our best & deep threat. He's not either.

Mike Kelly says hi!

Lost his running game with Harris & Demski out. Demski is also a part of the passing attack so it really crippled us offensively. If they're out long term I can't see us winning another game thuis season with the teams we play.

Nichols being interviewed by Sarah Orlesky just doesn't look happy. Not smiling or excited. I think he'd be happy to be playing elsewhere.
