  1. and you lost me. At least use a guy like Calvillo or Ray as an example not that over rated prima donna.
  2. Can you imagine what Stegall might have done if he'd played with a qb like Dickenson as well? I mean **** Stegall put up big numbers with Kevin Glenn... Only real top guy Stegall had was Jones for a few years and they broke the record book...
  3. I am not sure he is that much better than Denmark to be honest. some big stats in a few games last year doesn't really change my opinion on that, he's gotta show the consistency to be able to do that for a whole season before he gets those accolades.
  4. I'm sorry but a guy who has never eclipsed 1000 yards in a season is not great and don't give me the pace from last year either, gotta actually do it before you get to be put at that great level. I mean **** he's barely ahead of Harris in receiving yards this season so far. Great players are special, Darvin Adams is just another good american receiver that the CFL never has any shortage of.
  5. No he isn't. He's good but he's not great. Or are you just using a looser definition of the term great? Cause great to me means a guy that can put the entire offense on his back and make it happen. The Stegalls or the Simons, Adams ain't at that level and likely never will get there.
  6. You nailed it on this one. I don't like seeing a play made and then having a coach looking for the slightest hint of an infraction in another time zone so they can throw a flag, delay the game and take away said play because of something that really had no impact on the play. I dislike the challenge system in general but the biggest travesty is deciding that they should be able to challenge PI. Get that **** out of there. Total over reaction because of one missed flag in a playoff game. Fans will accept human error on the field in real time much more readily than they will accept all the bullshit that PI challenges have introduced.
  7. Give it time, the O is still a bit disjointed, and if Dressler is open all the time anyway why even bother throwing it to Denmark?
  8. Well for starters I'm not lumping it all on Nichols, just making an observation that he's missed a lot of deep throws to a lot of receivers, and Dressler and Adams being the top 2 receivers on the team are naturally going to see a lot more balls coming their way so the times they get missed on throws aren't as obvious as when the couple times they look to the depth guys that happen to go over their heads. I got nothing against Nichols but the guy hasn't been as sharp yet this season as he was last year. I believe that'll come though, and it's not the short stuff that's he missing on, just when he goes downfield. Or is it not cool to note some of the areas that need to get better for this team? I mean I know we all love Nichols here and his record as a starter speaks for itself, but that doesn't mean he's perfect and above pointing out some of the things he's done less than stellar this year. 2-1 is a great start, but 2-1 in July doesn't amount to a whole hell of a lot at the end of the day, gotta keep improving as the season goes on in this league of ours.
  9. Washington had a few instances where he had a chance to make plays but Nichols missed him. Nichols hasn't really done a lot of favours to the receivers thus far. He has been over throwing a lot of guys downfield this year, get that cleaned up and we can really see what we have at receiver.
  10. I have said it before and I'll say it again, the problem with the refs now is that they use replay as a crutch to avoid doing their jobs. They err on the side of calling touchdowns because it gets reviewed anyway, they don't take risks on close calls knowing that things are likely to be challenged so they don't have to stick their necks out. The replay system has hurt the quality of reffing in the league and the attitude of the people in charge of reffing has made it even worse still.
  11. Finally caught up on all the games I missed, and boy if I were an Argo fan I would be awfully upset with the reffing in that game. Just atrocious reffing all around and there were at least 2 missed roughing the passer plays where a Bomber got Ray in the helmet.
  12. Absolutely this, BC will make plays on offence just because of the talent they have at receiver, but that OL is a pile of crap and you can likely make the qbs pay for everything they accomplish. Jennings already got his shoulder dinged up and we're only a month into the season.
  13. Jennings is a risk taker, yeah he's got a cannon of an arm and slings it out there to some pretty good receivers, but he'll throw it up to the other team as well. Lulay is a much more dangerous player in my mind simply because he's not as much of a risk taker. Any qb is one good hit away from retirement, if the shoulder is feeling better for Lulay he is still a good qb.
  14. I wanted em to hire Khari Jones instead of Lapo last year, but I really don't care who it is, just no more conservative to a fault Lapolice. Too often he plays field position on 2nd and long rather than even trying to actually get a first down. It infuriates me.
  15. But is it more watchable than Supergirl?
  16. I eat too much pizza and drink too much beer to watch Lapo try and hang onto wins every damned time. I want to see him be more aggressive and put teams on the turf and keep them there early for entire games. For the good of my heart fire Lapo and get a good offensive coordinator in there.
  17. The less said about Lapo the better, the only time he isn't conservative is when he's in a huge hole and has no choice but to try and get some points. I am not convinced this team will be championship quality until we fire him for the third time.
  18. Sears was a play maker flat out, trouble is he just could not stay healthy.
  19. I think the only thing they need to do is get more aggressive and learn when to be aggressive and when not to be, that's what really makes the difference. Knowing when to take a shot and when not to.
  20. The entire time here Hall has shown that he is able and willing to make adjustments when the D is being exploited. The problem with Hall has always been the protecting a lead aspect he just loves. Gotta play prevent which just lets teams rack up completions and yards and makes us all age way way too prematurely.
  21. Yeah guys like that can get some results but eventually the players just get sick of the bullshit and tune out the tirades.
  22. Andrew Harris cause I am still a homer
  23. Bombers are srs bsns
  24. I will go with messam.
