  1. To be honest, I feel bad for him more than anything. He's been saddled with a lot of bullshit that he doesn't deserve. The fans may deserve better, but so does our franchise player.
  2. We have Waggoner to show for it. I don't think it's worth it. Just out of curiosity, what are you basing that off of? In fact, I'd love to hear the list of prospects you think are superior to Waggoner in the upcoming draft.
  3. I don't know why anyone thinks we're suddenly doomed for this season. It is still QUITE possible we could stumble ass backwards into the playoffs, especially considering the Labour Day / Banjo Bowl games are anything but an automatic loss. But it's going to be tough.
  4. I don't blame O'Shea for leaving Willy in. You can't honestly expect to wave the white flag with an entire half of football to go, that makes zero sense and it's a defeatist attitude. That being said, the sooner Marcel is fired, the better. The talent may not be ideal up front, but his offense including the schemes' inability to actually provide even AVERAGE protection for our franchise player is NOT good enough and we need to find a replacement. Period.
  5. super glad we invested all that money into such a well oiled offensive line to protect our franchise player.
  6. Not the biggest baseball fan in the world, but it's hard to not catch Blue Jays fever when they're doing so well as of late. Consider me on the bandwagon.
  7. There's blame to go around but I would love to hear somebody actually elaborate on how it's Drew Willy's fault. I'm not saying he's perfect or that he doesn't have plays where he doesn't do as he should, but I'd like to actually see somebody bring more of an argument to the table than "he doesn't get the ball out quick enough" - seems like such a last year argument at this point.
  8. I guess the concept of a career path that is trending in an upward direction is lost on you. What does his past matter at this point? He's better than he used to be. Just as he will continue to get better - he's not a finished product.
  9. A treasure? Jesus Christ. He threw for more ints last year than tds and this season he's thrown away a game in Calgary and been a statistical winner and on field loser in the rest. What a bizarre selection of statements to make.
  10. Bellefeuille and to a lesser extent Willy holding onto the ball too long are the problems with protection. The actual OL isn't the primary problem. Flat out wrong. Willy had guys in his face when he got the snap on numerous occasions. About the only sack he took where he held the ball for even a remotely longer than he should have was a 2nd and 20 when he needed extra time to let the guys downfield get open. The OL is the entire problem with the offense. It is abysmal and was even bad by the low standard they've set for themselves tonight. They looked like they were running different plays than the guy next to them far too often. Sorry man. You're wrong. Bellefeuille, Willy, then the actual OL (in that order) are the problems with the OL. He's actually not wrong at all. It's not the whole OL but unfortunately, you're really only as strong as your weakest link and when guys can just come up the middle through gaps that should never be left open, it doesn't matter how good Stanley Bryant is, he can't do it all. I've noticed plenty of protection calls that just make absolutely no sense, so the blame doesn't end with the personnel on the line - my favorite was the one where the entire OL slid to the right on a play action where Willy rolled out to his left - but the Picard/Neufeld combo has been leaving guys free up the middle WAY too often. Nothing more frustrating than watching us run a double tight set to allow extra protection, only to have Hamilton rush 5 and see Laurent or Hall come up the middle untouched because Picard is busy double teaming a guy who has already been taken out of the play.
  11. LOL. Did Mack even know Greaves existed? Considering Mack drafted him late as a DL, recognizing his potential as an OL project, I'd argue that Greaves was probably Mack's smartest pick during his entire tenure, right up there with taking Henoc over Scott Mitchell. If only that's how it actually went down. The true story is far more hilarious.
  12. JFG and Bryant back practicing today. Curious to see who gets the first team REC reps.
  13. All I know is I'd rather be sitting here talking about Andy Mulumba as a pipeline pick as opposed to wishing Steven Lumbala would come out of retirement or Corey Watman would become useful. And I know I'd rather be looking forward to the potential of Christo Bilukidi as opposed to wishing Billy Peach, Matt Norman or Bo Adebayo would suddenly wake up one day and be good football players.
  14. 2nd time he's been in the top 3 this year, 1st time he's been the outright winner. If I understand it correctly, I think he's now in 2nd place for some kind of Top Performer of the Year award behind Trevor Harris.
  15. No way Gable plays this week. Fantuz? Probably.
  16. SJ Green
  17. He's following the same path as Henoc did as far as progression goes and to be honest, he looks good doing it.
  18. I'm the farthest thing from a fan of Moore's but to suggest that one game of slot from Veltung and an on and off season from Adams who doesn't even play the same position is reason to cut Moore next year is a stretch.I'd love to see Walters actually bring in players to challenge Moore and perhaps Veltung is a start but let's not jump to conclusions. I'm not pumping either of these guys tires... I'd sign a proven SB to be honest. Just saying, you can't gameplay with a receiver that you know is going to be out 2/3 of the season. Out two thirds of the season? He's missed one of six games this year.
  19. The reason Bede isn't Canadian is because he started playing football in the U.S.
  20. Thread title had me thinking this was a spam thread from a bot at first.
  21. Picked this one out because I felt it's worth mentioning the Bombers are one of the best teams in the league in the red zone.
  22. Strikes for all who didn't pick Darvin Adams!
  23. Your two faced behavior always brings a grin to my face. Formula to being Duressler: Step 1: visit MBB, bash RF Step 2: visit RF, bash MBB Rinse, wash, repeat. Oh and I'll pick Darvin Adams.
  24. According to official club Twitter. Thank god.
