I don't think that Leggett is a good enough tackler to get back to the NFL. He whiffed on a number of them last year, turning medium gains into long gains and long gains into TDs. Happy to have him back, though; he's a playmaker with fantastic range. After so many years of watching Logan and Cauchy, it was nice to see a safety out there with some serious wheels.

Whole lotta retreads there. Taafe looked helpless in Hamilton, Danny Barrett was perpetually .500 in Saskatchewan, Cortez was yet another coordinator who couldn't make the jump, Lapo couldn't keep his hands off the offense... But I suppose Taafe and Buono could reminisce about Casey Printers.

I like this signing. Bombers in 2014 with Neufeld: 6-2 Bombers in 2014 without Neufeld: 1-9 Not to say that Neufeld is the second coming of Nick Bastaja or anything, but he was an irreplaceable national starter in 2014. We rotated six players through his position -- Goosen, Swiston, Hinse, Jones, Knapp, and Howard -- and none of them could step up and claim it as their own. And Willy's downturn started right around the time Neufeld was hurt.

Wow, I did not expect that BC wouldn't even make an offer to Kevin Glenn. Where's he gonna be next year? Montreal? Saskatchewan? Edmonton? I can't see him not being in the league.

Hey, it's fantastic to hear that MBB is supporting Big Brothers / Big Sisters. I'm a big brother and it's a great program. Thanks MBB!

It was such a head-scratcher to see Stewart playing the boundary half where he's going to be facing the top slotbacks. Were they really so hooped in the secondary that he was their best option?

My wife asks about him from time to time. "Whatever happened to the Bomber who kept a min-pin in his locker?"

10 carries for 22 yards with a long of 19 yards and a fumble.That is the perfect Grigsby statline. Bust one carry for great yardage and average .333333 yards per carry otherwise. Why on earth was he their feature back instead of Madu? Madu at least appears to run with some power.

man I hate to rain on this but Cornish hasn't sounded right for the past few games. I hope he's okay.

Yeah, there was a TiCat tugging on a Stampeder jersey during the midfield race down the sidelines.

Brandon Banks is this generation's Gizmo Williams. Gizmo would annually have more TDs called back than the next best punt returner would score.

Dickenson being too clever? Going to play action needing to run out the clock...

Grigsby is like the Michael Bishop of running backs: fantastic physical tools that don't add up to a great football player.

Wonder if Buddy Jackson said something? Just by looking at the play, it doesn't look like unsportsmanlike conduct.

Stewart had a hurry / pass knockdown in the third. Hamilton marching a bit.

Stubler using Stewart like Burke used Cauchy: as an extra pass rusher.

Yeah, TiCats are showing signs of waking up. Very nice play by Norwood to track down Cornish in space. Then Rob Maver gets torpedoed. Can Paredes punt?

lol Imagine Dragons "moshpit"

In 1999 we had the Black Eyed Peas.

I thought that was an overthrow too! Damn Banks showed some speed tracking that ball.

Was Grigsby out partying last night?

...and we're underway. My prediction is Calgary 33, Hamilton 20.

I love to think of S.J. Green or C.J. Tasker or even E.B. Jackson playing for the Bombers, but my head says that if we're going to throw stupid money at free agents, it's gotta be on the OL. Willy's the most valuable asset the team has and we will ruin him / lose him for good if we don't protect him right. And he made plenty of chicken salad with the underwhelming receiving crew we put on the field this year.

We've got a pretty cool little three-city WHL rivalry going out here between Everett, Seattle, and Portland. Last game I saw was Kelowna vs. Seattle a couple years ago. The crowd chanted PORTLAND SUCKS throughout the game.

I wonder if this year's game is even going to sell out? Two Grey Cups in three years is a bit much for a single city.
