  1. 3 Stars: McDuffie - TD turned the game around Medlock - 6 for 6 kept us in the game Flanders - Great job replacing Harris Happy Honker: Loffler - Huge hit took away a big play early and his hits are making receivers take notice.
  2. Any game that goes down to the last play is good in my books. Not too many penalties or challenges sure made it go by faster. Gotta love that. Thought Collaros looked bad tonight, but he still managed to get a big drive at the end to win it. Cato did some good, some bad, but in the end couldn't score any TD's, which cost them the game.
  3. Are you suggesting... If something doesn't happen on camera that it never happened?
  4. Harris is at least 30% of our offense, and we don't have that much offense to begin with. Losing him would be huge, not only for the running game, but for the blocking, the dump passes and his effort which other players feed off. Lochard's an unknown who looked OK in very limited reps. Flanders has even less carries. Am I worried about losing Harris? You bet I am.
  5. The guys who chose Ray over Collaros and Harris, overpaid for Willy IMO. Not that I'm complaining.
  6. I'm hoping to see Willy start and get pulled after 3 quarters cuz he doesn't start playing well until the 4th.
  7. I absolutely love these trades. Great work by Walters. Glenn > Willy at this point in their careers. Health had a great game today. The picks are pluses.
  8. Maybe you need to re-read my post. I said the 2014 version of Willy is a good QB. The 2016 version, not so much.
  9. 2014 Willy was good backup we need to keep. 2016 Willy, not so much. If Nichols goes down, our season goes with him, unless Davis plays better than expected or we keep Willy and he returns to a pre-2016 version of him.
  10. Three Stars: Dressler - 135 yard night Fogg - Great returns and the strip the turned the game around. Frederick - Tackle on 3rd down created a turnover plus a sack and 9 tackles Happy Honker: JFG - That deep catch was a thing of beauty and got us out of a ton of trouble
  11. Great game. Down to the wire, but Calgary found a way to win it, like they always seem to. Both of these teams look to be way ahead of us, which surprises me as Edmonton hasn't looked very good this year. Maybe Calgary didn't take them seriously enough until the 2nd half.
  12. In my experience, you monitor the network to catch streamers, not the individual computer or phone connected to company WiFi.
  13. Losing today would be a huge step backwards. Losing to the worst team in the league. Pissing off the sell out crowd just when the bandwagon is full, which could mean less fans in the stands going forward. Keeping us 4 points behind BC and giving Edmonton a chance (small as it may be) to catch us in the standings this evening. Quite frankly, it could be a turning point in the season if we lose. That being said, we're the better team, playing at home, in front of a sell out crowd. We should be able to not only win, but win big.
  14. The Lions are a very good team. When's the last time anyone hung 590+ yards of offense on a Montreal team? When was the last time anyone scored 3 TD's early on Montreal? Other than the fumble returned for a TD, everything went right for BC last night. Sure Montreal scored a few points late in garbage time, but that's just window dressing. Cato had a pretty good night both passing and moving the pocket. Should have thrown to Carter more often, but most of that's on Calvillo's play calling and BC's defense. Sutton was having a good night, but was taken out of the game by BC's early scores. Montreal looks so bad that I can't believe we are 1 and 1 with them.
  15. Sure, Lulay's an option too, and they'll have to give something big if they want him.
  16. That's terrible news for him and for Toronto's chances of making the playoffs. They'll have to give up something big if the want Willy now.
  17. Yup, it was a different time for sure. What we used to call a great tackle would be a penalty these days. The big hits we cheered from the stands while yelling 'Bring out the meat wagon and get this game going' are now met with a hush and other worried sounds from the crowd. Being knocked out used to mean smelling salts and getting right back on the field, now it means missing a game or two.
  18. Moving to another city didn't make me a fan of my new home team. If anything, it made me more of a Bomber fan as I felt like I had to stand up for them. I've had season tickets in Winnipeg, Calgary and BC. I've been to 8 GC's and I've seen the Bombers win and lose GC's in person. I totally understand ISO's anger in being called out as a Calgary first fan. I'd be pissed too.
  19. Has it ever been a 6-12 team vs a 9-9?
  20. Toronto doesn't look like a very good team right now, even with Ray's great completion %. Their defense is slowly getting better and may be able to give them a chance in the second half, but it's looking more and more like a cross over year.
  21. Ralph was one of my all time favs. Man he could throw a football. Folks said he could throw the ball through a car wash without getting it wet. We won a lot of games in those years. Couldn't win the big games, but then again, a lot of them were against Edmonton during their dynasty.
  22. The EDM CGY game was a snore fest. Edmonton tried to make a game of it just before the half, but that was the only interesting part of the game. Full marks to CGY. They are the team to beat for the cup this year. The Toronto Hamilton game was a lot of fun to watch. Tons of big plays. Tons of scoring by both teams. The young Argos D looked really good for a while, then faded. Refs were up to their CFL tricks with a long phantom PI call against Jefferson. Ray took a beating but kept on delivering the ball on target until he had his arm hit while throwing, ending up with an Int. Callaros delivered at an 80% pace again. Hamilton ran away with it in the 4th when the Argos ran out of steam.
  23. I said it last week and I'll say it again this week. The Riders are the worst team in the league by far and I'll be pissed if we don't beat them this week. It's time everyone started expecting us to beat the teams who are below us on a regular basis.
  24. Nichols - Did exactly what we needed him to do... throw on time, on target and protect the ball. Leggett - All over the field and his FG miss returns were game changers. Medlock - Most of the points came off of his foot. Happy Honker - Loffler - 6 tackles and a his first sack.
  25. I don't think it was PI at all, so it wasn't cheating, but it was a close call. Most of the time the really close calls don't get called at the end of tight games. I'm sure you would have been pissed if it had gone against us instead of for us.
