We all know what happens in Winnipeg when cold weather comes. Even season ticket holders don’t show up - much less the walk up crowd...

Well, there is also the possibility of making regressive moves - we definitely saw some of that this year.

He found ways to get pressure on BLM in the 2016 GC, after BLM had literally been playing QB in his living room all season.

I don't entirely disagree with you - but we could also keep the status quo at MLB if we wanted.

OL: only two regular Canadian starters DL: really only one full - time starter. When he went down they had to start 4 Americans Rec: outside of Harris, most teams have better Canadian receivers

Ummm, that's just a tad premature

Yes, there is, and it goes beyond the last four years. This is a team that did not draft well (or not at all) for a long time and did not have a stable of young Canadian players in place. Our best Nationals (Westerman, Harris) were acquired via free agency and we don't have enough good National OL. That's why this team has taken longer to get on right track - the cupboard was bare when they started. Bottom line: in the CFL you need a QB and then you need quality Canadian players.

Don't know if y'all remember the highlights where BLM was doing the 'too easy' taunt after a TD. How easy is it now?

Busch - good pizza doesn't required anything complicated

1990. I was listening to the game while doing the evening milking. Planning to make the most of 2017 - wife is making pizza and beer's in the fridge.

The point is: if you can't - you don't. I don't agree with what they did at the MLB position, but OL is the last position where such a sacrifice should be made. Calgary has better Canadian OL depth than we do - that's not a secret - but that has nothing to do with what the Bombers are or are not able to do.

OL is exactly the place to start, it should be the last position that gets sacrificed. Teams that start 3 national OL do so because they have adequate talent to fill those positions. Ask yourself this question: how many games do we win without Matt Nichols in the line up? The answer is pretty simple. When the left side of your OL is the best in the league and your QB is a pocket passer, you keep it that way. If the Bombers had fielded the kind of OL that Edmonton and BC did this year, it would have been a disaster.

Sign Bond if possible and start two Canadian receivers in order to get an American MLB on the field OL > Receiver There's your summary of the past week - cheers

I suspect you'd get some green underline if you copied this post into Word...

For one game, RR > BLM. Given that and a few bounces from the football Gods, y'all have a fighting chance.

Riel is a swear word east of Kenora.

With that offense on the field, he should have literally had the Stamps at his mercy. Have someone run a hot route in case they blitz / stack the box. If not, give it to Gable, who had been running great all game.

All things considered - I don't think either team would have been able to recruit him without having said HOF QB

And all hell breaks lose if you're to contemplate PEI in addition

Which comes in a green container...

Two good defenses but Stamps are more aggressive. Given that D wins championships - this one should be interesting.

More of the same from the Esks O - Calgary looking flat - Reilly getting time and making them pay

According to the all knowing Rod Black - it was because they were in the middle of the field and couldn't get out of bounds.

He wouldn't break our ratio, he'd smash it wide open

It cannot have been easy for Hurl either. The guy is solid on STs and as depth - the position he was put in this year was very unfair.
