It's ok, not everyone is a big fan It's ok for casuals to not appreciate every player on the team.

I guess being so tall with a huge catch radius does mean you can take advantage of the inaccurate throws...

Anyone else laughing at the marshall-gainey-purifoy section of the riders secondary? Also boyko at tackle. God how did that team get as many wins as they did?

You talk **** after you win, not before.

Only team that doesn't feel the need to talk is the Bombers. They do their talking on the field.

The only issue I have with demski is sometimes he carries the ball like a purse and it can get knocked out when the backside pursuit gets to him, but otherwise he is just such a versatile player.

If I know one thing about this team I know they will come out ready to play regardless of anything else. Every game is a street fight with this bunch and I expect nothing different in the playoffs. If a team wants to beat the Bombers they're going to have to slug it out for 60 minutes.

Yeah swift current, Regina and since I was going to the interlaken Yorktown or possibly somewhere just across the manitoba border for me are the usual stopping places.

Yeah but that wasn't me though, I was sitting pretty much in front of it and I said I liked the call, but you gotta hang onto the damned ball.

Am I wrong?

+1

Let the riders cry about only 2 Allstars, the reality is I don't think Johnson or Marshall even sniff a starting role in winnipeg.

No even with that the play not to lose offense wasn't going to get the job done.

Good thing this thread popped up! None of us die hard bomber fans had any clue! Now we can finally start to talk about this news.

Because it's on the way back to manitoba

None of this is as contradictory as you make it seem IMO. You sign a guy as a QB he has to play QB, OK but what stops you from putting a 3rd QB on the roster at the expense of a DI? He is just on the roster to stand around in case you need him. It costs you a DI though and DIs are very important to teams these days. Or you use a Canadian QB and it costs you a special teams player and potential depth at other positions. Now let's say you sign Streveler as a running back for example, now you can put him on the roster with anyone... but I bet the CFL would create a rule to prevent things like that from happening.

Though I will throw in the caveat that I haven't driven that way since I had kids so it probably takes 12 hours to get to Regina now, plus another 4 to get everyone out the door.

Pretty reliable 7 hours for me. Also highly dependent on where you are starting from in calgary.

I want as much streveler as I can get.

Brown was absolutely not serviceable... He had a great run game, and good protection from the offensive line and completely failed to do anything but throw short passes sometimes (honestly I was shocked he got to 50% completions) and pick up some yardage on a few scrambles. McGuire I got a lot more time for based on the circumstances in that game, based purely on that one he wasn't serviceable either.

counter point:

There were just some things that didn't fit culturally....

They kind of did, but a brown fumble took 7 points off the board.

Maier didn't do **** until that last 2 minutes either.

You sat in the stands and watched that game and came to that conclusion? Brown had some nice scrambles but his throws were absolutely atrocious. McGuire threw some ints in montreal yes but at least he appears to have an arm that can threaten a defence. Brown didn't do **** in the passing game and if he did it was all short balls. Basically what Fajardo did before his "break out" He might be a prospect worth developing but he ain't ready to be the #2. If Mcguire stepped into a game with that kind of running attack going no way he doesn't have more success than Brown had.
