Maas has cost the Eskimos at least 2 wins this season by outcoaching himself. This is another one of those games.

Ottawa getting away with a ton of headshots...Pruneau paying for the last one with a head injury, but not the all important 15 yards the Eskimos need.

Haven't heard anything about that. Maybe a roster bonus. Deferred money has to be paid regardless of whether the player is on the roster or not.

A lot of the growth is in the capital region, not necessarily just the City of Winnipeg. I'm afraid the Bombers have basically killed off the casual fan with the stadium location. Better hope rapid transit takes off.

There's a fair amount of dead weight to make room for the guys they want to keep. Gotta believe they can replace Neufeld, Shologan, Kohlert, Wild, Hurl, Johnson at least with younger and cheaper or convince them to come back on more reasonable deals. I don't quite understand the Bryant and Medlock deals...they gave money back without having a mechanism to get it later through a deferral?

So how does that make the odds of making that kick 1 out of a 100? You believe that if Medlock lined up for that kick 100 times he'd make it once?

Where do you get 1% chance of the kick being made? IMO the 3rd and 4 vs 61 yard FG with Medlock in a dome are about equal odds. If Medlock hit that kick 10 times he'd make 3-4, same for the 3rd down play. The only difference is the time on the clock. Even if you make that kick...BC has too much time.

Would Arcenaux hit a DB in that position if he was blocking downfield? Yes he would. Why can't he be hit?

They do. Every year in the off-season. Kind of dumb to do it now given that a ton of extensions will be signed before the new year.

The only Rider all star is the secretary who collated and filed all those contracts they signed this season.

Meh...Edmonton is good enough to win now. Why would they want to make their team worse for "assets" that are basically a toss at a dartboard? If Reilly goes down week 1 next year they are still a contender with Franklin.

Lapolice has been his best as a play caller when he's had someone to push him off the form chart, like Ken Miller. He still tries to incorporate some of that wackiness they had in Saskatchewan, but his timing is bad. I'm not sure we have anyone on the staff capable of pushing Lapolice, maybe O'Shea will build that rapport with him.

That's kind of oxymoronic, like saying someone is a great driver as long as they don't have to steer.

I'd like to see us grab Danny Vandevoort. We need a great Canadian receiver in the worst way...and he's a great football player too. I think he'd fit really well here.

If you really think what you post here has any impact on who is coaching or managing a pro sports team you are delusional.

They should sit McDuffie and Flanders...although I think it would be good to get Flanders on. Our DL has stunk since they went to dressing 6 rather than 7. Hard to believe we hold a roster spot for a guy who basically just returns kickoffs when other areas of our roster are struggling.

Lapolice is too good at killing momentum by calling some stupid trick play that takes 5 seconds to develop and completely relies on a whole side of the field to part like the Red Sea...or start using the receivers as running backs on stretch plays and hope for the best. Hope we dress Flanders from here on out and keep things simple, let the players win.

Chick made a play, but Burris was real dumb and slow to react to heavy pressure on that play.

Couture has earned it. Barely missed a beat with him and he's played all season. Neufeld is done. We're averaging less than 4 yards per carry and a horrific QB injury every other game when he's played in the past two seasons. More a question of who takes Couture's role.

Don't know where the Bolden and Sellers crap is coming from. Neither could get into a D1 school because of grades. Duron Carter literally went to a different college all 4 years he tried to play, really only played part of his Freshman year at Ohio State before getting kicked off the team and one year of junior college, after which his QB infamously tweeted this about his NFL chances:

Introduce them to each other. Walker is gone to the NFL after this season anyway. Timing of this is kind of greasy by Popp. Something you'd think the PA would care about.

Smith is redundant to me with Dressler and Denmark. McDuffie and Gurley bring something unique, McDuffie is key on kickoffs too. It's a tough call to sit a guy who makes good money, but our optimal roster right now would probably see Smith being the odd man out. I just don't really see the need for him or how much of a role he can play.

Jovon's been in the league 10 years can't even figure out which route to take in a simple banjo coverage. Once Bowman takes his route inside Jovon's gotta get to the top of the outside (Zylstra) route.

Gaydosh has a serious back issue that he's never been close to fully returning from.

Lions got gifted 7 points on a brutal PI on Arcenaux on a 2nd and long (FG attempt became TD) and a ridiculous missed call on that long catch on the sideline by Arcenaux that allowed them to attempt a field goal. I think the shitty officiating evened out even if you believe Harris lost control of that ball before his can hit the turf (which is really bang-bang IMO, not just that the ball moved, but that it was out of his control).
