what if 1000 pigeons flew over Portage and Main and all **** at the same time? Well, we know the answer to that more than how that unit will play together.
-
The US going into Iraq instead of Afghanistan created the mess we have today.

I agree with Rebusrankin. They'll be better. The bar was set pretty low here for a long time. We just don't know how much. The Bryant acquisition is huge. Willy's blindside should be a lot safer from players coming off the edge. Dile is a very good player but has to stay healthy. Picard if he can perform up to the level he has been playing at center those 3 will make a huge difference. But I'm with 17, let's just wait & see how they do as a unit.

Pall's had it pretty easy for a long time. Do nothing & get paid. Nice gig if you can get it.
-
What has Ameet Pall done other than earn a paycheque on the PR for years with 3 teams? This shouldn't be a country club & he should be cut.
-
what ifs apply to every team, not just the Bombers. It's a fresh start with some solids names on O, let's be optimistic instead of analytical. 17's not being analytical. He's being realistic.

So with Glenn, we maybe, somehow, back into the playoffs and then watch him crash and burn in the first game? It's like you Glenn supporters are stuck in a 2007 time warp. The Glenn of 2014 is the Glenn of today. The Glenn of 2007 is gone and he ain't coming back. Who says we'd need him for the playoffs? Willy could get injured for a few games during the season. Who would you prefer starting games during a 3-4 game stretch; Marve or Glenn? Glenn could be the difference between making the playoffs or not. I'd rather Marve. We need to find out what he has, don't we? We all already know what Glenn is.. And what if we find out he can't win & fail to make the playoffs again. Worth it? I'm not willing to find out.

Don't confuse opinion with facts. I'm not. You can't tell me that wasn't Dubya's reasoning for going into Iraq in the first place. They created the mess but won't stick around to fix it so we have instability in the Middle East & ISIS.
-
Everybody says Neufeld is this great OL. Well, he has to get on the field first. Remains to be seen if he can & for how long. Greatness doesn't matter if he can't play.

With expanded seating the place will seat more - 10,000 or so by the looks of things. About the same as some of those exhibition games they played in the Maritimes (think Halifax and possibly Moncton without the temp seats) several years ago. Edit: I think Moncton blew their chances at any further games, exhibition or regular season, by not selling out the last 2 regular season games there, the latter at a reduced capacity no less. So, Moncton doesn't get any more games as they just sold 18,000 tickets their last game there but Fort Mac does because maybe they'll sell 10,000?

The market has spoken - SUN News Network has shutdown
iso_55 replied to blueandgoldguy's topic in General Discussion
While the organization had it's share of critics, and rightfully so - Media folks losing their jobs is NEVER a good thing. http://canadalandshow.com/article/everyone-sun-news-deserved-be-fired Here's something else to remember: these young reporters launched their careers by contributing to a hate-machine that perpetuated prejudice, especially against Muslims, in a nation that's already highly suceptible to anti-Muslim sentiment. It doesn't matter how many people lost their jobs or how many young and talented journalists Sun News Network took a chance on. Everyone who accepted a cheque from the network was complicit in spewing its hatred. I'm sure it was a young and talented reporter who cobbled together this special report, "Islam's war on the world," which suggested that a religion of 1.6 billion people had declared battle on the planet's other 5.4 billion. I'm sure a gifted video and sound editor thought to punctuate "The Arab Underground" bumper with the sound and graphics of an unsheathing sword. And, surely, it took the best and brightest J-school graduates to trawl for violent disputes with which to portray Muslims as a sideshow, even if a story they came back with didn't appear to involve any Muslims at all. What complete bullshit. What's next, they were paid in blood money? -
Guys like Rids (I've had talks with him about this elsewhere) think it's great we play games in far flung places like Fort Mac with 5,000 seat facilities. I don't as we just look so damned bush league.

That's an ignorant comment, I won't change my tune on Glenn and would rather work thru a backup finding his game then watch an old man with zero emotion try to rally the troops.. And if we hit playoffs having to start praying to every god that is in existence that Glenn can FINALLY perform on the big stage.. You actually want to sacrifice another season having a rookie play full time if Willy gets hurt? Well, guess what, I'm not. I'm tired of all the losing & we can't afford to have an inexperienced player like Marve at the qb position carry the team when chances are he'll be an epic fail as he isn't ready. Maybe we make the playoffs with Glenn as the starter if Willy is hurt & maybe we don't but I'd rather he be calling the signals than an inexperienced Marve out there or Portis who hasn't even played a down of CFL football. Not one play. We'd get killed. The season would become another disaster. As far as how Glenn plays in the playoffs, who cares? We have to get there first. I don't care about winning a playoff game in August or September. I just want to get there first. If Willy is injured for any length of time with the two rooks at the helm you can forget about winning in the playoffs as we won't be there to begin with.

But what of Ezra? What... of... Ezra? http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/startrek/images/6/65/Mirror_Kirk.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100629155835 -
You think the Americans went into Iraq to get Al Qaeda? They went in so Bush could finish the job his dad couldn't. To Kill Hussein. Think that subject didn't come up over dinner at the Bush house for years after the war?.I can just see George Jr saying, "I'll get him for ya, Daddy. Count on it". Now that whole area is just totallly ****** up as Obama got the troops out with absolutely no thought or care what happened after that. Obama is as bad as Bush Jr was. Both are total morons.
-
Same guys that are pumping Marve here will ***** & moan if Willy gets hurt & Marve/Portis suck in his absence. Then it'll be "Shoulda signed Glenn". Who cares about winning a playoff spot? We have to get there first. We need an experienced backup.
-
If Glenn starts that means Willy is hurt. I am tired of this team losing. If it means Glenn signing gives us the best chance to win if Willy is out then sign him. You guys trashing Glenn do you want another 6 game winning season & out of the playoffs AGAIN? With Marve & Portis I think that's what we'll get if they have to play a significant stretch of the season.

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown
iso_55 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Gawd, that's frigging ugly. The Bombers are killing their fanbase with garbage uniforms & helmets. Killing us!!!! #bringbacktheroyalblues -
I agree. But sadly until Toronto gets their **** together, this is what we'll probably have to work with. Nah, it's Edmonton also. They used to play the follow up to the Monday LD game in Calgary on Friday just 4 days later in Edmonton. Now it's on Saturday. Why can't it be on Sunday? Look at the schedule & ask yourself the same question especially since BC & Ottawa are on longer layoffs & one (RedBlacks) coming off a bye during the LD weekend. Why can't they play that game on Sunday to give the players proper rest & recovery? It's because the Esks don't want it that way. They didn't even want the game moved to Saturday but I think the Stamps organization put up a big stink about it after so many years so they reluctantly did.Yet the CFLPA says nothing. Ottawa at BC could have played Saturday & Calgary vs Edmonton on Sunday but nope that would have made too much sense.

Morley played well for us last year at center. I think we owe him thanks for that. He found his position after a decade in the CFL. Who knew?
-
He'll be depth in Calgary.

I can certainly see Robert Marve lead this team to the promised land if Willy goes down. And I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale. Going fast!!
