20 years ago maybe but Cole is an old man now and can't keep up with the play, he spends most of the games now hoping that he is sitting in the pie.
-
Except they change something every offseason so we get half a season of adjustments every year. Why can't they just leave well enough alone rather than fixing problems that don't exist?
-
Honestly I have a lot of hope for this season based purely on the way WIlly is playing. That last INT aside he was in such control that game. Not really taking risks, making some good throws, just being efficient. Watching him develop last year to this year has been a treat.

Gord Miller really developed a complex lately where he thinks he's the smartest guy in the booth. If he'd just stick to doing play by play he'd be fine but he drifts into the colour commentary role too often that it really ruins his broadcasts for me. Cuthbert is the best play by play man in the business and it's not even close. Dunigan is the best colour man but it's mostly cause he's just a football fan having a blast on the air. Suitor is terrible and Duane Forde is trying too hard to be colourful. If he'd go back to just being the boring persona I'd like him a lot more.

To be completely fair though, Cornish has dragged an awful lot of middle linebackers around over the years. Not like he's some scrub itty bitty back there.

Suggestions for us old timers... and thoughts on long term

Oh please, after sitting through the shittiest of shitty games in that stadium losing by one point in a game that came down to the very end that's a step up, especially since they won there last year. We found a new way to lose in McMahon again. Playing better and losing by a point is still a loss. Spoken like someone who hasn't sat through those games in Calgary for nearly a decade. Trust me that was the best game I've seen the team play in Alberta since I've lived here. Yeah it's a sad statement but progress isn't always leaps and bounds. -
Wild is a tackling machine. He was always in the play. the bombers run stopping shortcomings last year weren't on Wild, they were on Etchevary who flat you says "Go ahead run the ball I don't give a **** about stopping the run"
-
when it happened it sure looked like he touched it to me. I dunno what the cameras showed but I was fuming at him for sticking his hand up and touching it when it was clearly going into the endzone anyway. Guy tried to be a hero all night long and it wound up costing the team. I hate kick returners who run backwards and sideways. Yeah you're fast but so are the guys chasing you. Just hit it up the middle and see what happens.

Are we so far gone as a country that only Saskatchewan maintains sane voters?

Lot of drama queens in here. Yeah they lost on a couple stupid plays, but the defense showed a lot of improvements in that game, Calgary got 2 of their TDs on turnovers and the offense did pretty well. Yeah they got bogged down at times, but the Stamps do still have a good defence themselves. Fact is the Bombers O out performed the Stamps O, just those special teams goofs that cost the game. A loss is a loss that is true and it sucks to lose a game that was there for the taking, but that game for an objective viewer should be seen as an overall positive for the team. Bass seemed to be all over the field and getting better, the DL got a lot more pressure than they had been. Cornish had some good runs but he also didn't run wild over anyone. The offense seemed to be able to move the ball most of the time. I guess basically what I'm saying is, get over the loss people, this wasn't a bad game at all. It was another step in what so far is a promising season.

AND...Was their 1st TD offside?? Couldn't get the video to work. It is what it is, I guess. You can also argue that at least two illegal block/holding calls were missed on Lirim's missed FG that Brown ran out past the 40 yard line. Certainly had me yelling at the TV. But, as you said, it is what it is. We're onto Edmonton! Oh man there was no arguing it, again it was right in front of my seats and someone was getting absolutely mugged, not sure how the flag wasn't called. There was another return in the same end where the first guy down was clearly pushed in the numbers but no flags. I was speechless that something so obvious didn't get called.

That fumble really was the turning point. Gave the stamps life and took away momentum from the bombers. The absolute worst part is that it happened right in front of my seats and the coaches were telling him to not **** around and yet he kept running backwards and sideways on every return. Veltung, if Stoudemire keeps playing like that is a better, safer option. The O and D were pretty solid all in all but the special teams blew the game plain and simple

Vann was with the team in training camp was he not? Was he not with us at the start of 2003? I sure thought he was, but his only career highlight was slacking on a play that was intercepted by the Riders and having Khari Jones chew him out but good for it.

Dumb player that relied on his athleticism gets old this is probably what it looks like. Body lets him down he's got nothing.

Bill Hader would never lend his name to anything garbage would he? Amy Schumer isn't as funny as she thinks he is, but gotta give Hader a chance right? He's one of the funniest people going. As for not being a fan of Paul Rudd what are you insane?

Five players fined after week 3.....Picard!
17to85 replied to Fatty Liver's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Hey the QBs and RBs on the team were more scared than anyone -
I was watching Bob McCown the other day and one of the guys on the show was saying that once the Jays came to town it hurt the Argos because now Torontonians think they are too good for the CFL. "Who wants to see Toronto play a team from Saskatchewan when I can watch Toronto play the New York Yankees". Different sports of course, but the guy sounded like a typical Toronto putz and exactly the kind of person that makes sure Canada stays united in its universal hatred of Toronto. And it's so funny because, to me, the reason I love the CFL as much as I do, is for the regional rivalries. I don't give two shits about a team from New York, but I care a whole hell of a lot about the province next door. Maybe I'm not a good sports fan because I don't care as much about Best On Best and maybe I'm too patriotic, but for me, the real beauty of the CFL is how strictly CANADIAN it is... It's the same for me. The big draw of the CFL is that it's local. Who gives a **** about New York or California or where ever else in the States? Give me a team I can be invested in because it's regional. I actually think the bad sports fans are the ones who only care about the biggest most over hyped teams/sports. NFL has this problem and it's also why I refuse to follow it despite loving football. The amount of hype is disproportionate to the actual excitement of the game. ******* Americans, gotta ruin everything by trying to make every game the greatest game in the history of our sport!

Yep it makes the OLs job easier if the defensive linemen are worried about the kind of **** someone like Picard might do than actually doing their jobs. Let's hope it rubs off on all of them. -

The we get an injury and have to use a defensive lineman as the backup OL and god forbid we have 2 injuries and we're using that DL as an actual OL. Why are some people simply terrified of having depth?

I knew there was something fishy about that guy. His card was also a sponge. Works on a contingency? No! Money down. -
It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...

More important question, is the show any good? -
people just give the stupidest contracts to centres. 5 years ago sure that deal looks great for Kessler but he's got a lot of city miles on him and he ain't even close to the same player. No way that deal works into his mid-late 30s. Ducks are going to regret that one big time.
