How do you know that Kohlert and Richards were close to being ready when the Bombers don't give any injury details? We know Kohlert was almost ready because he was on the active roster for game 1 but was scratched just before the game.

An old copy of the League By-Laws at CFLDB says any supplemental draft must be held within 60 days of the college draft.

You know.. Cuz he tested willy and did all the tests on him.. Smh. Guys getting his name out there by rocking the boat. Sure, you could argue the bombers and willy are pushing the limit but again, if he passed ALL baseline tests after hit and then days again later.. What's the issue here? Easy to say but you have to admit that both O'Shea and Willy have been less than forthright in this matter, describing the injury only as "upper body" and avoiding using the word "concussion" at all. Both Willy and O'Shea have said that he never lost consciousness and yet he lay motionless for at least 2 mins. and the photo clearly shows his eyes are closed. Willy was standing in the tunnel still in full gear within 20 minutes of being laid out so if they did go through the proper concussion protocol the results were already somewhat predetermined. In Willy's own words he was ready to return to the game for the 2nd half but the medical staff held him out. As the article explains the real danger for Willy is in the next game, were even a minor tackle could lead to more serious damage. It wasn't that many years ago that Buck Pierce returned to play in games in which he had been obviously concussed. So yes the CFL is taking steps in the right direction but those steps are still guarded by self-interest and the traditions of professional sports and not based on the best scientific evidence. Fans may cheer but it is Willy who has to ultimately pay the price. The photo proves nothing. He could have been mid-blink when it was taken for all we know. Everyone is concerned about the health and well-being of players. The divide is people who think the doctors who have actually examined a player know what they are doing and the other side are people who think they know more than those doctors.

Lets hope that continues ( pace to 27 vs 71 ) however from a D perspective we are on pace for 9 sacks and I would think that would be worst in CFL history ...We have 2 sacks so that's 1 sack per game with 18 games equals 18 sacks.

Who didn't besides the ref. If you didn't how the hell did you not Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, the official's view was blocked by the players so he saw the hit but not the helmet-to-helmet contact.

I'm sure we saw him. It would seem we (and every other team) didn't think he was worth a 7th round pick (we wouldn't have had to use a 6th because we have a higher priority than Calgary as does every other team).

Cam Marshall

Cato had more than a week. He was signed in May and went through TC with them. He wasn't on the active roster until after Crompton and LeFevour were injured.

A few years back there was an official who was fired for that incredibly brutal PI call against Montreal in the end zone when it was Carr doing the interfering. Higgins made a stupid comment about football gods which got Bomber fans' noses out of joint even though everyone agreed it was a brutal call.

When I first saw the hit I noticed his head snapped back and thought whiplash. And when they helped him sit up one of the therapists/doctor(?) was cradling Willy's neck with his hand.

Having to go for 2 in OT isn't a new rule.

The Queen's Plate was the reason the game wasn't on TSN1. They did advertise that the game was going to be on TSN3/4/5.

He called the PAT a 32 point convert again.

Just a reminder, the Argos/Riders game is on TSN3/4/5 but not TSN1/2.

You can't hire a coach from someone else's staff after the season starts. No way would the other team let a coach go now.

There's a strike for those who picked Fuller. He's not playing tonight.

I think the forecast up until yesterday was calling for rain so that may have affected ticket sales. Supposed to be nice tonight so hopefully the walk up will be good.

He's on the 1 game IR.

Regarding the jersey, iirc Jeffrey Bannon was the Bomber rep who worked on both that jersey and our current regular jerseys. Don't blame the marketing department for the last season thing. The BoD were behind the "it's the last season" thing.

Drew Edwards ‏@scratchingpost 8h8 hours ago #Argos sign another former #TIcats Canadian WR: former first overall pick Chris Bauman. #CFL

Good choices.
