dude is in ok shape, so yeah he ain't the tallest guy on the field, but he's a big strong guy. That's why the ladies and Northern Skunk are so in love with him

god she has to last until there is a dem president

No, if he sucks he sucks. But that is why we have to watch the games. Big picture here fellas.

If he was 6'3 do you think he would have ever made it to the CFL?

I read a quote a couple days ago where the promoter was saying it was an event like seeing the Rolling Stones or some such thing. Well there's your problem. It's an NFL preseason game, it's not a can't miss event. Sloppy football with a bunch of guys who will get cut and maybe never play football again isn't something fans will fork out any amount of money to see. They got greedy and the thing was a gong show as a result.

Yes, but lots.of people here discard the obvious in favour of blind hatreds and ignorance so I am left to try and hammer the obvious into their heads.

Well I don't think you're getting at the logic I use. I'm not some big Nichols fanboi here, I have actually long felt that Streveler has higher potential in the long term, however I'm also not going to throw Nichols under the bus when Lapo very clearly is doing the same **** he always does. So if Streveler succeeds it will be dependent on 2 things happening, 1: Him playing well and 2: Lapo giving him the playbook to have success. I will judge for myself what happens when he gets out there and make my judgements based on knowing the 2 variables.

yes, but also consider injuries to matthews and adams, two guys who were likely thought of as main targets.

turned this on just to see how the stadium looks... lots of empty seats. guess they should have priced things smarter.

Will depend on how things unfold, but likewise if streveler struggles you gonna admit that Lapo can be his own worst enemy? Or will you just turn on Streveler too?

I will take that. I don't think the Edmonton lbs are all that great so if they aren't bringing a lot of pressure as they usually do I will call it a win for the bombers.

That would make a lot of sense, but I really don't trust Lapolice anymore. Guy gets in his own way so so many times. I really hope they let Streveler be a QB, the guy can pass, don't shoe horn him into being a glorified running back, that's all I ask.

As someone with a geography minor mistake like that offend me on a personal level.

and also venom wasn't a huge flop so they figure they got this. The egos amongst studio executives is really quite astounding.

he doesn't play for the bombers.

We got em right where we want em

Sony had all the production costs under the old deal I believe, new deal is supposed to split those up, but who knows.

well 3 boys standing on top of each others shoulders can pass for a man.

If Harris is out the beauty of it is that it forces other guys to have to step up and it takes away the crutch that he is. The team would have no choice but to let other people be the man.

alternate dimensions don't count!

but trending up only means winning against shitty teams plus Hamilton with the backup qb and no top offensive weapon... I know people love to ***** about how the Bombers win, but after how many seasons of winning that way can we please pretend it's all smoke and mirrors when it very clearly isn't? Riders had a good stretch in their 10 ply stretch of the season, do we really think that will last when they start to face some tougher defenses? We saw how Fajardo looked against the Stamps defense earlier. Just because the Bombers took their foot off the gas in Toronto doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things.

it always does, the CFL back loads the schedule with divisional games to create excitement leading into the playoffs. Thusfar however, the Bombers have beaten their 2 closest rivals in the west so what's the problem? That they need to do it again? Well yeah, that's how football works.

and the Riders lost to Ottawa who we **** kicked. There is no argument to be made that the Riders are superior to the Bombers. None. PLUS we aren't using COdy Fajardo as our starting qb. PLus that game of theirs against Hamilton that they won was a home game if I am not mistaken. There is a big difference between home and road. Riders suck until they beat one of the legit western teams. So far their only chance they got an absolute ass kicking.

At least we've beaten Edmonton and Calgary. Backup qb or not, that same Riders team got **** kicked by that stamps team with Arbuckle. The Bombers gassed a road trip in Southern Ontario but have beaten everyone else they've played, the Riders meanwhile won against the worst teams in the league and Hamilton the week after they lost their starting qb (and I think their best player Banks was also out) If you can't see the difference you're as blind as Rider fans.

Well the ticats knew Masoli was gone for the year, Nichols is expected back before too long. That's a big difference. I don't buy they're waiting to see how Streveler does, they'll bring someone in regardless, just less rush knowing that they should be able to run with Streveler until Nichols is healthy.
