good luck Chris. Break a...I mean...I wish you all the best.

nope. Apparently work out wasn't done in front of the media.

That guy has to be in his 50's by now...

Nope. Best was signed to an extension in 2012 that carries into 2014. Oh ok thanks.

yeah I sat there watching Montreal and Toronto bumble through that game and was just pounding the table at how frustrating it is that the Bombers had to pick this year to suck so hard. The road to the Grey Cup is open in the East, and we're so weak we can't even board the bus or start the car.

Do you have any inkling who they are trying to trade for? I have an inkling on who they WANT to trade for, but I don't think that's who they're going to end up acquiring. No doubt they want Chris Best. Wasn't Best a free agent at the start of the year? Yet another guy that Mack refused to go after?

They literally didn't have any other number to give him. It would be nice if the number 4 became available.

You've seen Hall for one game and you're declaring him done in favour of these Ticat/Rider castoffs? Oh ok then. Ok maybe not "done" - but I definitely like Goltz more than Hall. The mobility is a huge factor. Hall doesn't move very much, seems pretty slow back there. Just my opinion. Which I believe we are all entitled to.

So I assume this means Buck is done for the year? With Boltus and Brown now on the roster, plus Max Hall, doesn't leave much room for Buck. Also I am hoping that Hall is done too, after having seen Goltz and Hall in action, I prefer Goltz.

That's why I know we'll be signing Rottier the minute Edmonton cuts him.

He's our sleeper. We're saving him. Yeah we'll only use him if things get really dire.

Especially after Elliott's comments after the 52-0 shellacking in the LDC last year, when he said "well I played ok" or something to that effect.

Contrary to popular belief Mack isn't the **** who struggles to tie his shoes that everyone seems to be painting him as since he's been fired. Makes a hell of a scapegoat though. He's a great scapegoat. Blaming everything on Mack also plays well with the "I told you so" and "we knew all along" crowd.

My theory on why Mike Reilly hasn't been injured yet: This is his secret identity.

I was driving home from Whistler yesterday and listening to the game via the internet on my phone. I decided to go with the Calgary feed. I couldn't believe the low quality of the Calgary commentators. Repeatedly, they cut down the Edmonton team and called them all kinds of names, like "pathetic" and "stupid". I couldn't believe the lack of respect. I laughed my ass off listening to them trying to downplay the Edmonton comeback - first Edmonton gets a TD to make it 37-13, and they were like "well that means nothing, this game is over", and then when it was 37-20 they were "well this is just about making the score respectable, but this game is completely over", and then when it suddenly became 37-27 they were still nattering on about Dickenson taking out all of his starting offensive guys to "make sure they are ready to play next week, as this game is over". I got home to start watching the game live just as Edmonton scored their final TD so I didn't get to hear the rest of the Calgary excuse-fest. All I have to say is - thank heavens we have Bob Irving. Calgary's radio guys suck.

I don't see any downside to this plan. It's not like Swiston-Pencer tandem at tackle could be any worse than Boatman/Douglas. And it would also mean we would have our only NI receiver as Watson out there, and we could keep Poblah off the field in favour of Sims-Walker or Doug Pierce. It's win win.

If he is healthy, they would be stupid not to get him in the lineup to at least see what he can do. If Sask can start Heenan at tackle this year after only one year, there is no reason why we can't start subbing in Pencer for at least a few plays a game.

What have we got to lose? Another game? At this point, let's get all of these "diamonds in the rough" as much playing time as possible. Get Pencer in there swapping out with Swiston at tackle. We need 4 NI's on the O-line, gives us so much more flexibility, including getting an import in at Safety and getting Cauchy off the field.

Boltus

I lost it in that BC game when Goltz had Simpson all alone standing on the sideline and he one-hopped it in front of him. Just inexcusable at this level.

It's a good thing we've invested in a QB coach then to help Goltz develop.

and Tate.
