Gonna go ahead and disagree with that. Neufeld is the perfect backup OL cause he can play a little bit, and play basically any position, but he's not a guy you want starting all the time, especially not starting all the time at one of your tackle positions.

So then how come the Stamps defense didn't turn in a similar performance against the Winnipeg backup qb? I mean christ one of the very first plays of the game Nevis blew up the Stamps OL and put Messam on his ass. Meanwhile Harris fought hard for every inch and turned short gains into good gains all night. This game came down to one simple thing, the Bombers won the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Yeah Lefevour wasn't any hot hell, but the Bombers lines outplayed the Stamps lines and as a result there were less mistakes by the Bombers. BLM ain't going to change that much, the Stamps O has been pretty suckass the last month or so.

But what kind of game plan do you come up with when Jennings is the qb? All the guy has ever shown an ability to do is huck it deep and hope his receivers bail him out.

I suspect he was more of an inside kid and these sportings things are foreign to him. No wonder he doesn't understand. But guarantee you ask him about comic books and such he's got a valid opinion.

I made a comment about winning the Grey Cup and you said that meant we'd keep Hall, it wasn't a positive comment, how else are we supposed to interpret that? You don't want to get called out for preferring to fire a coach than win a championship then don't make comments like that.

Honestly the important take away from the Calgary game for me was how much the defensive line and linebackers owned the guys upfront for the Stamps. They were legitimately playing well against the Stamps starting OL group and that carries over no matter who is behind centre. Sure BLM probably does better in the face of pressure than a back up qb, but defensively it all starts by getting pressure from the guys up front.

worked pretty good with Lulay.....

Oh I completely agree, Toronto could easily go on a run and win it all. They've been playing pretty good football towards the end of the year and we know they have a qb who can win and a coach who can win. Always dangerous combo.

Why bother? Reilly is the MOP already and the Esks are the hottest team in the league right now! They are the clear favourites to win the Cup, I heard it on TV so it has to be true, Bombers might as well spend the week cleaning out their lockers because there's no chance to stand up to the dominance of the Eskimos.

As a team we score more points than they do.

One of their touchdowns went through Lofflers hands off his face as well.

Seems to me Reilly gets impatient against our D and will try and force something that leads to interceptions. Even in the first game vs. the esks if the dbs didn't have stone hands we likely come out with a few ints.

Only look at the good years and the guy was the most successful coach ever!

Alouettes GM will clean house after 3-15 season, but says team 'is not a mess' If you say so Kavis, if you say so.

Agreed. There's lots of teams that could go on a run and win it all and the consistency year to year is what really matters. 11 and 12 win seasons back to back is awesome and going above .500 next year too means this team has fianlly stopped shooting itself in the foot. That's something we can all enjoy.

When they were 7-0 and everyone was praising them as the best thing since sliced bread? Wasn't the game in Edmonton the last time they lost? Here's what I think, I think the Bombers just know how to handle that Eskimo team and it doesn't matter when they play, the Bombers just do the right things to beat them.

Hall's defence did fine against Edmonton in the regular season. Oh sure some yards were given up but the Bombers were in control of the game both times.

We have lots of receivers who can stretch the field, trouble is Lapo only ever uses one guy to go deep, the rest catch short balls or nothing at all.

Yeah I was laughing at Jones trying to be the tough guy and showing the cold doesn't bother him, meanwhile he is clearly freezing his nuts off. Stop acting like an ass and put a jacket on if you're cold, you're not fooling anyone.

Winnipeg loves a deal! hope the place is packed and rocking on Sunday.

You would rather fire a coach than have a championship team.... You sir are a ******* idiot.

Only fools wrote off Ray. Guy is legit but like all qbs needs the supporting cast around him.

Was just going to post this exact thing. If Wally ain't coaching next year maybe he goes to Vancouver.

Well to be fair I am convinced of it every year.... One of these times I'll be right.

This year is special and I am convinced we win the cup this year. I have seen the team win in both Edmonton and Calgary this year, first time I have seen them win in either place in person since I moved to Alberta 12 years ago. If that's not a team of destiny I don't know what is.
