Our offence should have been getting warning points all season long. at least we could expect them to get some points consistently in that case.

just check your sanity at the door when you start reading stuff there. Lot of absolute raging homers starting pissing contests left right and centre.

the way to wear them more often was to get them designed like that when they were doing all the jerseys before.... it's not some revolutionary discovery that the fans prefer the royal blue look, they knew that after the last round of retros, why on earth they didn't take that design when they did the jerseys I have no clue.

but what is being discussed are players who aren't under contracts right now who are free agents. Aaron Kelly would be a player who is a recent example of that.

why? what has he ever done to make you think he's better than Goltz? What has Hall done for that matter? Or is this simply a case of "I don't like this guy cause he's not an allstar so maybe one of the other guys is an allstar"?

I've got the 2x Muamba jersey in the new colours and I like it, but I don't understand why it is so tight. My 2x jersey in the old colours is big enough to drown in. The jersies are supposed to be the same size, yet there is a big difference between the sizing, so much so that the new jersey isn't even that comfortable to wear. I am hoping now that Wade is in charge, that he will be taking care of his fellow husky Bomber fans and correcting this oversight. Either increase the size of the 2X jersies or add a bigger size to the options. Reebok has made everything fitted for the last few years. Hockey jerseys too. I can understand for the players, don't know why for retail. Shush. more stuff needs to be fitted rather than made to accomodate fat people. Sigh. It's also the shoulders. I've got extremely broad shoulders that no amount of weight loss is going to fix. The jersies should be bigger. I've got the broad shoulders too but there's nothing that bugs me more than having something that fits across the shoulders and chest but is way way too big around the stomach... and I'm not even that thin either. I just feel like I'd need to weigh 300 pounds for this stuff to fit properly. I'm 6'6, so the fitted stuff Reebok puts out is usually too short for me, and they don't make tall sizes for jerseys. Jerseys used to be oversized wide and long, which meant I'd wear a shirt under it otherwise it felt like wearing a bed sheet, and could wear a jersey over a parka. No chance of getting one of those current jerseys over a parka, it wears more like a t-shirt. They make a lot of clothes for short fat people, but not much for taller people who aren't sticks. I've never found jerseys to be too short, I'm 6'4 myself and they're one of the few items out there that aren't ridiculously short without being twice as wide as it needed to be. I've never wanted to get a jersey over a parka so maybe I'm just ok with it fitting more like a tshirt than something big enough to wear as an outer layer.

This is my concern, as well. Coaches tend to be a very stubborn lot. First of all, still the best avatar/username combo on the site... but I don't know that Burke is that stubborn, his one redeeming characteristic as a head coach is that he's able and willing to learn and change.

I think the main thing to take away is the context. I mean if a qb puts the ball in a catchable spot and the receiver drops it ending the possession is it entirely fair to just say "not enough yards passing"? If a possession ends cause the running game gets stuffed is it fair to only use the number of passing yards? 12 passing yards is not a good stat, but it's gotta be examined within the context of the game.

Or maybe he would have thrown two incompletions and gone off the field and his stats would look even worse. Pointless to get into hypotheticals based on dropped passes because guess what, every QB has to deal with dropped passes. and maybe he would have got sacked or maybe fumbled or maybe threw an INT, point is we just don't know. It's as likely he could have made some more throws and picked up some more yards as anything else, but you can't fault a qb when others are the ones taking the offense off the field in 2 seperate occasions.

If you're going to make someone a scapegoat you'd better make sure replacing him is going to actually make a difference. If the Bombers can get 8 sacks against the riders who have a good offensive line what can they do against the esks and their swiss cheese line? Buckle up Reilly, it's going to be a rough game.

Ottawa will have to wait until December just so as not to be signing people while the current season is still going on. It's really nothing more than an official date when Ottawa is actually part of the league.

even when there were 2 passes that blatantly are dropped by receivers that would get you first downs and allow you another series to get yardage in addition to the yards those passes would have added on to the totals? This isn't just on the qb. when you have 12 yards passing safe to say it's a collective pants shitting. 2 dropped passes does not a half make! When you lock onto your favorite QB at the moment, you really lock on! Actually 2 dropped passes can make huge differences in time. You drop a pass on 2nd and whatever, and your drive stops, you have to punt. The pass is caught and that drive could have lasted another 5 minutes of playing time (if they can keep the drive alive). The same can be said for a missed throw. yes exactly, you drop passes on 2nd downs the offense is coming off the field. Catch them and the drive keeps going and maybe goes 70 yards for a touchdown, maybe not but it's a possibility. There's no locking onto a favourite qb here, there is only trying to help people understand the big picture.

Would think that this goes back to the whole thing when Walters first took over and said he contacted every team and basically put up the open for business sign. During those talks Wally probably got some kind of indication about what types of deals Walters was looking to make or would be willing to make so he went ahead and acted on it.

Woodson going to Toronto frees up a spot for Foster nicely.

Simpson is legit, no runningback would be having success in Winnipeg this season.

And what a sack that was. I woulda given it to Wild myself but I've become a bit of a fanboi of his the last whie. Turner woulda been an awesome choice as well.

could have picked any of a number of players on the bombers for defensive player of the week.

I hope they are looking for a Woods replacement....at least until Woods comes back. I know Will Ford brought that kick back for a TD...but he's no Aaron Woods. ford doesn't even do punt returns if I'm not mistaken. That's all on Johnson and sometimes Washington.

This guy return kicks at all? Could they be looking for a woods replacement?

Like how you told the truth about how Wally was using Joey Elliott? Given that he's brought in Pierce to be experience doesn't that lend some credibility to my thoughts on the matter? Doesn't that fact that he held on by a thread as the third stringer for less than half a season tell you what he thought of him? Wally want's pierce and doesn't want Elliott, doesn't that tell you something about Elliott? or more importantly the accuracy of your assesment of him? That Wally wanted a change at the position does not negate the premise that Wally wanted some experience at 3rd string.

With the Riders losing to the Bombers, could this be the week the TSN2 Fans Choice Game of the Week tonight is not a Riders game? haha the one time I'd actually watch a rider replay.

I'm a big boy, I can handle the criticism, bring it on.
