  1. Well either way, at least we did something to try and fix the OL.  I don't think it will end up panning out as a real improvement, but at least it's a try.

     

    Also could mean Swiston's injury is long term.

     

    If nothing else, I look at it this way

     

    I would've given a 5th rounder+Woodson for a 3rd rounder.

     

    Parenteau coming along with the pick is a bonus with potential to make it a real win for us.

  2.  

     

    Hate this trade.  Parenteau is brutal.

     

    Honestly, Parenteau used to be terrible and I was quite against bringing him in when he was a FA last time, but he really stepped up his game in TO. Immediate improvement at RG for us.

     

     

    He did?  So how come he lost his job and hasn't started a game this year?

     

     

     

    Because Toronto shuffled their ratio and no longer needed to start 4 NI OL plus they moved Van Zeyl inside and he's been a beast there.

  3. Regarding the QB's, Walters just said at the Buck presser that for the duration of the season, we will finish with what we have at QB, and explore our options when the season is over at the position. He also has said that the team will continue to explore other trading avenues up until the deadline.

     

    Pretty clear objective to me.

     

    Take steps to fix the OL now, get the pieces ready for a QB to come in during the offseason.

  4. Can't fault Buck for a crappy Oline, crappy play calling and dropsies by the receivers. He was always positive and I assume brought a lot to the community. It is a good decision for the Blue to trade him vs his out right release, but to dump on the guy because he was getting hammered on almost every play is just sad. Maybe we should be trading all our running backs as well. They rarely get 100 yard games, so dump the bums. Oh wait, the Oline hasn't opened a hole big enough for a fart to get through, but that's ok, it's the QBs fault and the running backs fault.

    Put the blame where the blame belongs.

    And...Flame away!

     

    I'm not ragging on Buck for any of that.

     

    I'm ragging on him because despite all of that, he was still a shitty QB.

  5.  

     

    No, Jacquie. Ask any Rider fan how their defense played. You'll get quite a different take from what  you are saying. They were just okay.

     

    And some of those Rider fans will also say their offense and play calling sucked while begrudgingly giving the Bombers D some credit.

     

    Go on Riderfans & see what they are saying. Very little credit  to us.

     

     

    That's not what I've been reading at all.

  6. Disappointed in all the glee here. Buck wore his heart and on his sleeve and would go to war if need be for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He deserves some respect and gratitude.

    Having said that the trade had to happen. As long as buck was here the other guys would be looking over their shoulders. Great move by Walters.

    I wonder about the timeline though. The "undisclosed" injury, Elliott being released last week. Etc

    So what's Foster's story....

     

    Why should I be disappointed to see Buck go?

     

    He'll still live here in the offseason, he's a homeowner with a Winnipeg business and a Winnipeg girlfriend. All the good stuff he brings to Winnipeg will still be here.

     

    And now he's gone from our football team.

     

    That's a win-win in my books.
