He obviously wants to do Bomber games. I think the crews get to pick & choose the games (teams) they want.

I just hope this doesn't cost us a championship. I've nothing against Sam. I just hope this works out.

He's also not stupid.

But Hurl doesn't play the Cowboy position anymore. In 2017, he lines up as the Mac off the LOS in the traditional Mac position. He isn't just a yard off the LOS anymore between the guard & tackle. His job isn't just to fill gaps or take on an OL like it was in 2015. His job is to drop & cover an area in pass pro, blitz or fill gaps A & B in run protection or cover the back out of the backfield. The same job other players such as Reed, Muamba, Woods, Sherritt, Elimimian & Singleton. He's having a problem doing that.

Schemes & systems really don't mean much if you don't have the players who can play well in them. A system means you find players who do fit well athletically for those schemes. Hurl just doesn't have the range to be an effective MLB. He can't make the plays other MLBs can. The Bombers decided in the past off season that a Canadian would play that position due to ratio issues elsewhere so we are forced to live with it.

Just to put things into perspective regarding Sam Hurl as our MLB. How different would our defense be with Alex Singleton? Fourth in CFL with tackles.

That's all he's worth.

We'd be a lot better defensively if we had better linebackers. They really hold everything back. Hard to improve when 2 out of the 3 starters can't make plays. Especially at Mac.

We all know that Wally lost this game before it started. If he had started Lulay the Lions would have won.

Well..... the RBs didn't look that good until that pick.

For a second, I thought Harris was trying to throw a TD pass because of the antics of the Lions defense when they knelt with the ball on 1st & second downs. Just threw it out of bounds. Wouldn't that have been something?

Wow........ That's all I'm gonna say.

Tate is perfectly happy to not play but cash his game day cheques..

Meant that comment more as a joke. There are still Bomber fans here & everywhere who still think Nichols isn't.

BC is a dangerous team & better than the Riders when they have a qb that can play.

Ottawa fan with the plaid shirt & red hardhat be like, WTF?

Is Harris elite? Discuss.

The problem with the Lions is they start Jennings, get into a huge hole then think Lulay can save them. That's Wally anyway.

I never liked him. He's a turnover machine. I think TSN built him up too soon & are still singing his praises even when he plays badly. Even today, Milt is going, "He's 25 & obviously the future". Why does his age make him the future? To me, he is an overrated young qb who gets rattled easy under pressure. If he continues to put the Lions in a huge hole before the stubborn Buono pulls him then how is he the future? I've seen other young BC qbs with more talent than Jennings wilt under the pressure so it doesn't surprise me Jennings struggles so much. Guys like Paul Brothers & Don Moorehead. Jennings has a decent OL, great receivers & running backs & he still can't get it done. The other guys didn't. Wally being Wally refuses to start Lulay so he's to blame... His coaching decisions will kill that team. Which is fine by me.

Yesterday it was Mosaic (Migs) talking **** here & today it's Ripper. I wish these Rider trolls would just get banned the first time they something stupid which they always do.

Wally uses his challenge to try to get 3 points with 30 seconds left in the half. Fail!!! LOL!

If Wally keeps playing his elite qb the Riders will.

So, last year's semi final in BC, Loffler gets called for a hit to the head on Manny Arceneaux. Today, Lions Purifoy targets RedBlacks slot Jake Harty. He took a hellacious hit from Purifoy who clearly targeted Harty's head. No penalty. I guess only superstars like Arceneaux are protected & Canadian scrubs like Harty aren't. can't touch the so called superstars. Lofler did exactly the same thing as Purifoy & got called for an illegal hit. Joke.

Jennings is just so bad. Picked in the end zone.

Back by popular demand. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrod Black. From the Nation's Capital. Can you believe it?
