Gross. I don't get the obsession with Romby, he's brutal. Can't we get a young guy to take stupid penalties and fumble the ball?

Matthews on Seattle PR.

 

Sucks for Moore, he's having some bad luck this year.

 

I hope Romby doesn't draw back in, I'd rather roll with McGuffie to be honest. It's time to give a practice roster guy a chance.

What does it matter what he says? You've already pretty much said you are only going to believe the things he says that fall in line with your own beliefs. Anything else will be dismissed as rhetoric.

I prefer a coach who entertains through the product on the field and not his press conferences.

Welcome to the current age of sports...

 

Exactly. I've seen O'Shea hand out information in his pressers before and if TBURGESS has agreed with it, he clings to it with fact. If he doesn't agree with it, he views it as spin and dismisses it.

 

What's the point in the coach being honest if you're only going to believe what you want anyways? The way he handles the media is great.

The phoenix rises from the ashes.

 

The man.

 

The legend.

You're a better poster than I was when I was 14.

 

Not always easy.

@PentonKirk: Thaddeus Gibson isn't coming into stop the run. He's primarily a pass rusher who has been inconsistent with the #Argos. #Bombers

 

Good to see there's at least one media guy out there who actually knows a lick about football.

 

Already saw both Keith McCullough and Lawless talking about how this move improves the run D. Christ.

As for Wes Welker taking molly at the Kentucky Derby ...

 

 

... how did we as a society not see it coming?

Agreed. Glad to see Suber get a chance to play. He deserves it, nothing but a class act while he was here.

Really like this trade. I like Gibson a lot, he's just been a victim of the numbers game in Toronto.

 

Probably one of those deals you can call a win-win for each team. Gibson probably won't start here now that Vega is good to go again, but I'm glad to have him.

For DL Thaddeus Gibson

LOL wow

Lost in all of this - Myddelton sucks.

The DB's hand was clearly in front of the receiver. He hit the freaking ball with it. That's completely legal. He didn't stop the receiver from coming back to the ball, although he did stop the hands from coming up. Nothing wrong with that either. Just good DB work.

The hand behind didn't turn the receiver. Was he a slightly early? In slowmo, I'd say yes. In real time, I didn't think so. If it had been called PI by the ref, there wouldn't be enough evidence to overturn it and there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the non-call either.

Folks around here see/saw it differently than I did. Refs saw it the same way I did. To say it was clearly PI and we got 'screwed' is so far from the truth that it reeks of homerism.

He didn't stop the receiver from coming back to the ball? Okay you've officially convinced me you're just making it up now.

The receiver wasn't trying to come back to the ball.

Also, TBURGESS, I'm a bit confused.

 

This is now the second time this year you've come on here and been openly contrary about a certain play in a Bomber game. Both times, when you've actually describe the play, you describe it in a way that leads me to wonder if you're just arguing for the sake of arguing because quite frankly, the way you describe what happened is in no way close to actually what happened.

 

The DB was in front of the opponent? He pushed him from behind. He wasn't in front of him for even a moment.

The DB didn't go through the opponent to get to the ball.  He was in front of the opponent.  

 

The question, in real time, is:  Did the DB physically restrict or impede the receiver's opportunity to play the ball.  The refs both on the field and on review agreed on NO.  Most Bomber fans disagree.  Most, if not all Riders fans agree with the refs and I expect that most non-Bomber fans also agree.

 

If it was the other way around, would you want a Bomber INT taken away from that amount contact?

 

Uhh ... nope

 

Just to put into perspective your comment about the Rider fans, that play was right in front of our section and even the Rider fans in that section didn't bother cheering the INT because they were expecting the PI challenge to be overturned. Most of them were expecting a call in the first place.

 

Offsides on receivers is one thing ... EVERYBODY gets away with it. But that PI was absolute nonsense. It had no effect on the outcome of the game, but it was nonsense. 

 

As for your question if I'd want it called on the Bombers. Yeah, I would. I want it called properly and if that costs us a turnover, that's fine by me. You don't deserve a turnover you acquired illegally anyways.

I'd put an asterisk next to healthy.

But, just to play Devil's Advocate (because I really do like Moore), is that not part of the deal when you sign a big contract? That you gotta find a way to stay healthy...be in the line-up and contribute every week? I mean, there's a lotta responsibility that comes with signing that deal...#JustSayin

 

 I think you owe it to your team to stay in top physical condition, but to say that you need to find a way to stay injury free is just an unfair ask. This is a violent contact sport. People get hurt.

If Moore wasn't making the big bucks, would this even be a conversation ?

 

Moore IMO has performed as expected (injuries aside). It sucks that he's been injured a couple times this season, but unfortunately things like this do occur.

 

I believe you're dead on. If nobody knew what Nick Moore made, they'd be very happy with his performance. But because he's got the stigma of a high priced contract, even though we have very little to compare it to, we punish him for it.

As alternate jerseys, they make nice home jerseys.

 

That's neither a compliment or an insult.

 

What makes the CFL a 'joke'  from that aspect for me is when a guy like Inman, Armstead, Ball, (insert Argos player here) gets cut with a valid contract to go to the NFL.

 

I don't have any issues with a guy not under contract going to the CFL, suspension or not.

I  bet the NFL paid Braley under the table to let those guys go. Slap in the face to the Argo fans... 

 

 

First of all, the NFL isn't paying anybody under the table for middling talents.

 

Second of all, why is it a slap in the face? They wouldn't be recruiting those players unless they made those promises of an early release, so you have to ask yourself - would you rather have them for a shortened period of time? Or not at all?

He's not recognizable now but wait until Johnny Football and Lebron get their hands on him.

 

I mean let's be honest, he may be an absolute idiot but he's also an absolutely dominant receiver. That's marketable no matter how many bong rips the guy likes to take.

 

So much hate for a guy in the top 10 for receiving yards. Despite injuries. Jeez.

 

You mean the ONE post in this thread where Bomber Diehard says cut him?

 

Or are you suggesting that my comparison to Corey Watson equals 'hate'...?

 

 

I wouldn't call your comparison "hate" but I would certainly call it ridiculous.

So much hate for a guy in the top 10 for receiving yards. Despite injuries. Jeez.

Brohm is about as much of a non question mark as you're going to find for a backup QB in the CFL, other than Drew Tate or Kevin Glenn.

 

He's at least got age and experience that the other backups don't have.

Mike O'Shea says it's not serious. There you go.
