  1. As much as I love the Rider plight .. so much bad Juju associated with this thread .. going to have to sacrifice something to the football gods to keep on their good side (and stay somewhere close to .500 on our season).
  2. He makes our team better when he's on the field, so whatever you want to call him, he's a pivotal part of this team. Please also quote your stats properly. Nothing irks me more. http://www.cfl.ca/roster/show/id/4795 2012 SSK 69 95 72.6 709 43 5 5.3 4 4.2 93.7 2013 SSK 32 52 61.5 473 45 4 7.7 1 1.92 108.9 2014 WPG 305 478 63.8 3,769 58 14 2.9 16 3.35 83.9 2015 WPG 107 156 68.6 1,434 79 8 5.1 3 1.92 106.6 Career Total 513 781 65.7 6,385 79 31 4 24 3.1 91.3 Why let facts get in the way of thumping ones chest.
  3. Because upbacks fail to maintain or make a block .. I'm looking at Jesse Briggs on the first one this year .. missed who it was tonight .. I'll catch it when I re watch the game.
  4. Because BCs defence is nothing to write home about. We SHOULD look good (or at least competent) against BC - they aren't a very good team.
  5. Whatever works!
  6. Who is hurt that we can do this? Who comes out? Gibson.
  7. Heh .. I think that when I see Pontbriand catch the ball and get a head of steam going .. JFG .. not so much.
  8. While Durants salary won't count against the cap I heard he had a sizeable bonus that will Pretty typical of Taman's cap management approach so it wouldn't surprise me.
  9. Gambled on 3rd down rather than going for a 48 yard field goal with a kicker who is playing lights out. I meant to ask, why do people dislike Chris Jones personally? He seems ok to me. Just his thoughts and mentality on some things. His first year as head coach he refused the traditional handshake after a game with the opposing coach because he felt that it wasn't "genuine" . Apparently he has relented and shakes hands this year because he didn't want to bring "negative' publicity to the club, but I'm sure he still thinks it is an empty gesture. He may feel it's an empty gesture and I can appreciate not wanting to hear 'consolation' after a loss .. that said .. it's about good sportsmanship and the one thing I've always admired about the sport of hockey is that post series handshake .. those guys beat each other up .. it can get ugly .. but at the end of a series there's that show of respect for the guys competing across from you. I guess one could infer that Jones simply doesn't respect his opponents.
  10. The issue isn't that people are against having to provide ID in order to vote (whomever believes that is taking an incredibly simplistic view of things) .. it's that you are potentially disenfranchising 500k+ voters who could prove their ID but not their current address. Typically, people falling into this group are students or people who have recently moved .. but also impacts the elderly living in long term care facilities and First Nations who live on reserves. One method of verifying your address was the use of Voter ID Cards (those mail outs you get from Elections Canada at election time). In the last election, about 400k voters used the Voter ID Card as a method of corroborating their address - the Fair Elections Act eliminates its use. The other issue is that it allows parties to game the system in ridings where there may be a tight race. Party officials can challenge IDs, holding up / causing lines to back up and people simply leave without casting their vote. So why was this done? Potential voter fraud. There's no evidence of voter fraud and, as noted by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2012, the issue of voting irregularities wasn't one of fraud but of inconsistent training of and mistakes committed by elections officials. They found that the people who voted were eligible and voted in good faith. In fact, an EC compliance audit (completed before the SCC ruling) came to the same conclusion and recommended (among other things) that paperwork be simplified for elections officials dealing with people with ID issues, better training and more widespread use of the Voter ID Card. Instead, the Fair Elections Act simply makes it harder for people a segment of the population to vote and does nothing to address the root cause of the problem. C-23 was a terrible bill and actually does more harm to our elections process than it does good. But this is what you get when you limit debate on legislation and rush things through the House.
  11. This is Robotech man .. Keep that Transformer garbage out of this thread!
  12. This was my Saturday morning while I was growing up ..
  13. Just cleaned up some of the posts (moved the toon related discussion to General). Please keep it going there if you'd like.
  14. Ugh rocket Robin Hood pleeeeaase noooo What the hell is a Rocket Robin Hood?
  15. Moore, Denmark, Adams, Veltung and Kohlert? Now THAT's a receiving core. They could run sweeps with Veltung/Denmark/Cotton and keep the defense guessing. Run some cross-buck action ...
  16. Backlash from left leaning voters for the Liberal support of C-51.
  17. Wonder what Albert Johnson III is up to ..
  18. Is she hot? I agree we need pics here. She was very HOT! In addition, usually drunk by half time. The perfect combo. Skinny and drunk with big ****, that kind of perfect combo. BUT Nooooooooo, I had some morals. I had some ethics. I was a complete idiot. Now I'm just stuck reminding myself of her from time to time when, well you know. All of that AND a Bomber/football fan? You found the Great White Buffalo! http://youtu.be/Nl6__lNxh-M ... great white buffalo ...
  19. Always looked unsure of his alignment to me ..
  20. I'd settle for not giving up first downs simply because we're playing a VERY soft zone ..
  21. Right on the nose. Signal to noise ratio is way down after a win .. there's a lot of folks who ONLY want to be heard when we struggle .. and at that point, there's so much misplaced criticism and frustration that it's not constructive or conducive to having a conversation. Happens though when you have a fan base that's suffered for as long as we have.
  22. Draheim was absolutely mugging Westerman early in the game and got away with a couple of decent holds on that long opening drive ..
  23. Lots of optimism after this win .. but honestly .. it should be tempered somewhat .. while Willy and company put in a solid effort and I won't take anything away from it (and hell yes I'll bask in the warm glow of the win for awhile) .. I'd be very worried if we couldn't move the ball against them as BC is near the bottom of almost every defensive category (and they haven't proven to be offensive juggernauts this season either). Good win. It's 2 points in the standings. I will definitely enjoy it.
  24. There's the positive attitude we should be seeing after a Bomber victory!
