Both of the int's were taken away by blatant pass interference calls, which, if the receivers hadn't been interfered with, they probably would have caught the ball. There's reasons to doubt Hall, but you can't say that the INT's were just "taken away by penalties" - they occurred due to illegal acts by the Montreal players.

Montreal. On Monday. I don't plan to eat any turkey before hand as I probably will just be vomiting it back up again during the game.

the hits just keep coming...

You do make a good point. I just end up shouting at the TV "why didn't you do that when you were our coach" during the first segment of half time when Randorf comes on with Lapo, and Lapo gushes over the "creative play-calling" of whatever team is winning.

which 3? Kelly is long done. Lapo is done after this year. So we'll just have Burke and Burke's replacement in 2014 to pay.

I think it's a matter of "I care too much", so I just can't watch the games anymore. It would be like watching your faithful dog get kicked and beaten by hooligans while you are tied down and helpless - it would hurt to watch that for sure, and that's how I feel watching the Bombers this year. There's nothing I can do to stop the beatings, so I'd rather just not watch at all.

Willy plus a pick - 2nd round - and this is done and done.

I can relate. I'm not a big fan of the situation either....

I don't know much, but I do know the fastest way to screw something up is to let government run it. They'll be still arguing over their climate change policy, and how many disabled trangendered Asian people need to be on the board to be ensure no discrimination, while the team has given up and moved to Saskatoon.

I forgot to add that on the next play after Reilly got his head smoked, when he was in the shotgun he totally bobbled the snap. He was probably seeing three or four footballs at the time. How he made that TD throw is amazing, given he was on another planet at the time.

I watched that TD throw that Reilly made on the next play, he just kind of threw it up and let Chambers catch it, then he stumbled around wondering what sideline to go to. He was completely gone, his eyes were totally unfocussed. I just can't understand what they are doing in Edmonton.

Dave Campbell ‏@Dave_CHED1m @Kelowna.... If he's cleared to play by doctors, case closed as I see it. Dave Campbell's response to my tweet saying it didn't make much sense to force him back into action.

not sure how wise it is to rush your QB back into playing only a week after he took such a horrible hit to the head. I watched that hit, downright awful. Not sure how Reilly got up from that.

Dave Campbell ‏@Dave_CHED10m Mike Reilly taking the first team reps in the walk through portion of practice this morning

And Burke two won cups in Montreal as DC. But I hear you on Jones. That guy is a total son of a be-yatch, much like Cal Murphy used to be.

Bad sign that people get a whiff of this poo show and bolt. This season cannot end fast enough. not too swift on the uptake? he apparently has am NFL sniff and didnt want to commit to a 1 + 1 deal.. Oh sorry I missed that. Other then it being mentioned in this thread. Which is of course the same as official confirmation. Are you sure you're not a member of the Winnipeg media? Your instincts to jump to the negative conclusion in every circumstance is something they value and cherish.

The Esks have the luxury of two QB masterminds currently looking for work - Mike Kelly and Gary Crowton - capable of designing packages and coming up with plays to make sure Reilly is more protected from now on. Oh the surfeit of riches of available talent!

Add Collaros as QB and you've got yourself a sold out barn next year.

Should have signed in Winnipeg - he could have been on the nine game by week 5! At any rate, saw this coming, and it's too bad. Kid was having a heck of a good season on a craptacular team. I never saw this game so didn't see what happened, I'll watch the replay on TSN broadband. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/eskimos-quarterback-reilly-out-indefinitely-with-concussion/article14616846/? Eskimos quarterback Reilly out indefinitely with concussion The Edmonton Eskimos say quarterback Mike Reilly is out indefinitely with a concussion, and dispute suggestions they should have pulled him from the game after he took the vicious blow to the back of his head. Team general manager Ed Hervey says staff will monitor Reilly’s progress and then make a determination when — or if — he comes back this season.

looks like all the huge hits finally took their toll on Reilly this week and he finally got hurt. Too bad, two weeks too late. It would have been fantastic to have had to face Kerry Joseph in a back to back series.

No entirely true, Crowton put more and more of his stuff in as the year went on last year. All those improvements were credited to him putting his stuff in. The new and improved stuff for this year was done for one reason, to try and prevent Pierce from getting crippled, but PIerce can't play that way so they scrambled to try and change it... and PIerce got hurt. The real ironic part is that a quick release offence is actually something that would benefit Elliott more than Pierce. Just a giant **** up in thought process from the get go. This is me every time you bring up Elliott....
