TBURGESS

I don't understand how it could happen in the first place. The refs should have thrown a flag on the first play when the ratio wasn't right and continued to throw one every time they did it. The refs just need to do their jobs.

Depth certainly doesn't appear to be our problem. Some of the new guys are better than the guys they replaced and it will become a good problem for management when the injured get healthy. Their sure were a lot of complaints about our scouting in the off season, which seem to be completely wrong.

It means the players salary is removed from the SMS and the player can't practice until week 4. That's hardly nothing.

One more and I'm done. Gotta pick someone to score on the worst defense in the league. Is that Sask (Pick Messam) or Edm (Pick Carter)? Rolls the dice..... comes up Messam.

First game... yawn fest. First time I'v seen Regina play so badly this year. Montreal came to play and absolutely dominated for 60 minutes on a short week without 2 of their top receivers or their #1 RB. Second game... Best game of the season so far. Two very good teams trading blows all night long. Jennings showed some great things then showed his inexperience by throwing a late pick that the announcers said he was trying to throw out of bounds. I don't think he was, otherwise it wouldn't have been that close to the receiver. Then, in OT no less, he tried to force a ball in that he had little chance of completing. That Int definitely cost them the game. By look on Wally's face, he was livid. I wouldn't have wanted to be in the locker room after the game. Still this game proves that BC and Calgary are the two best teams in the West.

You guys have no faith. In fact I said "Frederick with a pick for the win" as soon as he caught it.

Yup.... Me.

Dare I say Bennie Thompson like?

I like what Reilly did last week. I want my QB to get in the faces of the OL when they allow the same stunt to get to him twice for big hits. I want my QB to get mad when he's taking punishment.

Love Frederick's game last night, but my shout out goes to Loffler. Big hits all night and he kept Bowman from catching at least 2 deep balls.

A win this week bought O'Shea time. At least until we've played Regina twice.

One of the 3 stars should be given to the O line. They opened up some big holes for Harris, got to the second level and mostly protected Nichols.

We owned the LOS on both sides of the ball tonight.

Either that or none of them were worth developing, which is likely the case considering Kevin Glenn was the only QB we let go who went on to any CFL success.

With the 3 stooges in charge, you might just get your wish.

Joe Mack didn't hire Mike Kelly. Kelly was hired by Bauer in 2009. Mack was given the GM spot in 2010.

Wally may be cheap, but he did make Harris a very good offer. We basically matched it and Harris came home. Harris is giving it everything he's got. He's breaking tackles and making people miss. The problem is, he's having to do that in the backfield too often.

Yes, but it won't happen. No team wants Willy @ $411K.

Bowman

Drew being pulled was something that needed to happen, but I don't think it means we are done with Willy yet. He may even end up playing some in Edmonton if Nichols can't get the job done.

Reinebold's a good special teams coach. That's about it.

If Bomber management still thinks that O'Shea is part of the solution instead of part of the problem, then they need to be replaced too.

Every time the Bombers talked in the off season they brought up the fact that Willy was injured and that we were in every game without him and no, I didn't and don't agree with it. There were way too many other problems last year to put it all on losing Willy. If a win in '07 mean no Mike Kelly, then it might still have some validity now, but folks would still be pissed that we look like we're not going to make th playoffs for the 3rd year in a row under the Miller/Walters/O'Shea regime.

Folks are mad that we're in a 26 year slump but, having won a GC back in '01 or '07 wouldn't have anything to do with this year or last or even the one before that. Folks are rightfully mad that we suck yet again after 'winning' free agency yet again and signing the most expensive OC in the league. We were told over and over in the off season that the reason we were so bad last year was because our starting QB went down early last year. Turns out that's yet another load of manure as we are replacing Willy this week with 2 wins out of 7 starts Nichols. Looks like a ton of other changes this week and we're most likely to be 1-5 at this time next week. If you think the calls for O'Shea's head are getting loud now, just wait for next week.

Masoli had a record setting second half against Edmonton. No surprise that he's getting a lot of kudos around here. He's only had 1 and a half good games this year, but that's 1 and a half more than Willy has.
