Nope. They said something about Bowman not being in Montreal yet.

If we want respect, we have to earn it by winning a playoff game or two, like Calgary, Edmonton and even Regina.

Winnipeg is one of the top 3 teams in the league and you're complaining that we don't get any respect? LOL

Nik Lewis‏Verified account @nikel18 14h14 hours ago More U as fans see Vernon not playing well. I see preparation. He is not prepared to play better. He hasn't seen blitzes very well and that is all preparation.

Yup the idiot is still you and this post proves it. Full of crap. None of it true. There is no time that I complimented you in any way shape or form. I deny opinions, not facts, but you don't seem to know the difference between the two. Putting one's fingers in their ears so they can't read doesn't make any sense. A joke I guess, but if you have to guess, it's obviously not funny. At least I don't call you an assclown-troll or a dumb cluck. I just think it.

When I'm wrong I say it. Heck, it's even some idiots tag line around here.

If Montreal throws to Bowman early and often and puts up with his drops, he can be an asset. We didn't use him that way.

Bowman was making $140K anyone know what his bonus was? In other words... how much have we already paid him and how much SMS room do we save?

Demski is taking the Flanders role and is a NI. IF we replace Bowman, I'd go with a young receiver, not Flanders.

Willy's hand injury required stitches, so it's a little more than a bobo. I'll bet he's hoping to go on the 6 game so he gets paid for the rest of the year. If not, he'll be cleaning out his locker real soon.

Thanks.

When we signed Bowman for $140K, I thought it was a great signing. Now I think we overpaid. We aren't getting our money's worth. We've likely blown 90K or so at this point, but it might be time to give up on the Bowman experiment and move on to younger cheaper players so they have experience come playoff time.

Re: O'Shea's challenge. I was laughing when he's trying to make the challenge. O'Shea says something, the ref shakes his head no. O'Shea says something again. Ref shakes his head no. O'Shea finally figures out that he can't challenge what he wants to challenge and settles for PI. Ref announces it. Soon after Ref announces the play stands. Dumb challenge. Even if we get it, it doesn't matter much.

How long you been waiting to use that joke? 😁

I do. I fixed it. Thanks.

Edmonton doesn't want Willy so they won't make that trade. Ottawa doesn't want Matthews so they won't make that trade. I'm not sure that Adams is any better than Willy and he hasn't had much time running the Montreal offense. That being said, I expect to see him in the second half.

All games are winnable when you step onto the field. The BC game was winnable up until the final play. I'm not interested in winnable games. I'm interested in wins, because wins are what counts, not just giving it a good try. As for PLAP, cuz that's what this thread is about, he's inconsistent. Great sometimes. Too conservative others. Tries too hard to be the smartest guy in the stadium and goes away from what is working. We are better with him than without him. I expect he gets a couple of HC calls in the offseason,

In the #metoo movement you're assumed guilty at accuasion time. In this case, he lost his job at or around arrest time, which is later on in the process. If he is found not guilty, then I'm sure the CFL will lift the ban even tho not guilty doesn't mean he didn't do it.

Both teams were on the field for the same amount of time. Both teams had penalties that extended drives. Both teams had blown coverages and made mental errors. No one is arguing that fatigue doesn't exist and I'm not arguing that TOP is the only factor to fatigue. The point is you're saying fatigue affected our defense against BC in Vancouver, yet you can't point out even 1 play where you can actually say that fatigue was a factor. Your theory. Your burden of proof. Right before the half BC's defense two and outted us right before their last drive.They didn't look fatigued even though the TOP, the score, and the game play up to that point were all against them. It's not that I can't figure out what his point is. It's that I disagree with it. What's so hard to understand about that?

Weather is the same for both teams. Penalties were very close too. We run more than any other team so they should have been more fatigued and physically worn down than us. What 'head scratching mistakes' are you attributing to fatigue in that game?

Loffler likes to go for the big hit instead of the much safer wrapping his arms around the receiver to make sure. Big hits look great when they work, but players know it's coming now and are avoiding or absorbing the hits.

These are pro athletes. Fatigue shouldn't become a factor in either the first or the second half when the TOP is almost equal. Yes, the DL guys are the ones who would suffer from fatigue, which is why they are rotated in and out of the game. No, I'm not lumping all players together. I've seen defensive players get worn down and fatigued. Hands on their hips. Sucking air. Going down to get 3 plays off and to rest the defense. None of that is what happened to the Bombers in BC. BC simply outplayed us in the 2nd half. Lulay found his range on the deep ball and moved the pocket to extend plays. BC players like Burnham stepped their games up. We made some bad play calls on 3rd downs. Our offense went 2 and out because they went away from what was working and because the goal line stand gave BC renewed hope. Nichols uncharacteristically threw INT's. The defense characteristically played soft and gave up too many plays. They made the most of their chances and we didn't.
