There is no such thing as an easy win in the CFL. Sure there is. We used to be the free spot on the Bingo card. You think Hamilton right now is as bad as we were last year? Pretty close to as bad.
-
Most of our 1 game injured list is more of a taxi squad. Player "A" gets hurt and player "B" comes off of the injured list. Good use of the 1 game as long as we have the cap space.

This one should be an easy win for us. Hamilton has tons of problems including an injured starting QB and most of the O line. The only thing I'm worried about is LeFevour breaking down our defense with his runs.

Guys... let it go. We're playing great now. No need to dredge up the last 4 regimes.

Winnipeg vs. Hamilton discussion thread
TBURGESS replied to kelownabomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
My only worry against Hamilton is LeFevour running amuk. Our D is better than their O and our O is equal to their D. -
Time the play. If he gets hit before 3-4 seconds, then it's on the O line. If he gets hit after that time, then it's on Reilly. In real time, without looking at it again, I don't think he had 3-4 seconds before he got sacked.
-
1. I'd have called a sneak on second and inches. 2. Reilly didn't throw the ball away because he didn't see the guys behind him who sacked him, he only saw the guy in front of him. You can't blame him for not having eyes in the back of his head. 3. The sack is as much on the O line as it is on Reilly. 3 guys got to Reilly in the backfield. He might be able to beat 1, maybe even 2, but 3 is impossible.

Really stupid play call. Clime says an 80% chance of working? How bout a 10% chance. Wind at their backs. Punt the ball and give that great defense a chance to hold them to zero points.

Lawless: Trade Glenn January for Canadians
TBURGESS replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Dumb idea IMHO. No dumber than a lot of ideas on this forum though. I don't understand the constant need for some folks to bash the media. They've got to write X number of words to fill the space. Every article isn't going to be gold. -
Lock of the Week 5 (results for week 4)

I totally understand why people are frustrated with the refereeing, but it's the reality in the CFL. You can complain all you want. It won't do any good. The really funny thing here is the play you're complaining about was called properly. The player is allowed to get back up and run as long as they do it pretty much right away.
-
That's not true. If he goes down, then no whistle, then gets up and starts to run again and gets smoked...he is a running back...no penalty! I have no doubt at all their will still be a penalty. You can complain about it, but it will still happen.
-
If someone smokes Reilly if he does it again, they will take a roughing penalty, 100% of the time.
-
About the way I see it at the moment. I expect that BC and Wpg will change places next week.
-
Personally, I'd like to see the player who causes the injury to be out as long as the player they injured if it's an illegal hit, but I know it will never happen. Neither the CFL or the CFLPA are interested in player safety. They are only interested in looking like they are.
-
I agree with screens and draws, but quick slants against BC's LB's is suicide. We need to move the pocket and we need to establish the run, which is easier said than done. With our O line, Willy needs to get it off in 3 steamboats, which means mostly short and medium throws. BC has a lot of big play guys like Harris, Logan and Arceneaux so we need to get to Glenn early and often to get him into chuck and duck mode. If we can get Glenn off his game, then we can win. If not, it's going to be a long night.
-
I'm worried about how easily BC beat up on Montreal and how much trouble we had with them. Smith had a really bad game and was of course inaccurate, but BC's defence completely shut them down. BC's offense scored almost at will even with the backup QB in. Harris and Login could kill us.

Anyone miss the old Section S at the old stadium?
TBURGESS replied to Pitthead's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think there should still be a section "S" spot for those who want that kind of environment. I also think there should be a booze free section and a family section for folks who want that kind of environment. The game day experience should be great for everyone, no matter what kind of fan they are. Putting like types together would really help that IMHO. -
It doesn't matter if it's a RB, a receiver or a QB. If any of them dive forward and don't get touched, they can all get up an run and none of them will be whistled dead. The refs didn't even whistle it dead when a returner took a knee on the field. They allowed him to get back up and return the ball. Quite frankly, that one should have been whistled dead IMO, but it's pretty evident that the refs aren't going to whistle anyone down until they've been touched, unless it's in the endzone. I do fault the defensive players for not touching Reilly down. They should all know the rules.
-
Montreal's D line should own BC's O line again. Glenn's going to have to have a much better game than last time or else it will be the same result. BC has been a graveyard for Montreal and it's always tougher to win the second game against the same team, but I think Montreal will do it this afternoon.
-
Of course we would be. There's nothing wrong with what Reilly did. I'd expect him to get up if he didn't hear a whistle. The point is there should have been a whistle. This is one of those arguments where you're obviously not going to get it, so we'll just leave it at that. Point is there shouldn't have been a whistle because no one touched him. You're the one who's not getting it.
-
BS. Reilly didn't slide feet first. He didn't hook slide. He wasn't down by contact. He got back up and continued the play which is what the rules allow and exactly what he was taught to do. The defensive players don't need to think if it was a hook slide or feet first or even if it's a QB. No thought process needed. All they have to do its tag the player on the ground. Every freaking time! I don't mean spear the player on the ground. I don't mean hit the player on the ground. I mean tag the player and I've never seen anyone get a penalty for that. This shouldn't even be a debate. If Willy had done it, we'd be rightfully saying "Good Job".
-
Argh! Any player on the ground, QB's included, have to be touched down and every player on the defense knows that. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.
