I didn't say that.... The bottle of rye on top of the bar, combined with several beers consumed earlier in the day, said that .... And I'm paying dearly for it all today ....

"...This is my mop....my friend George gave me this mop.... its not as good as my old mop, but it's a pretty good mop...." "...uhhh heh heh....BE THERE!!..." "....I'm thinking of something orrraaaaange..... wanna know what it is?? .....It's an orange!!" Truly one of the all time great cinematic performances....

I said to the buddies in our group chat, around half time, "we're gonna pull this out...just watch...." and while it was scarier than it needed to be (the 3rd down stop, the last second pass completion and Parker's tackle) we did manage to get it done. Hat tip to Richie Hall for the 3 man pressure, dropping more into coverage.... changed the game.

God Edmonton is just so bad. And of course we'll make them look like all stars when they come to IGF......

Neuf out is a loss for sure. He's been one of the best, if not our best, OL this year. Glad to see Eli get some starting reps though. Just kinda wish it was for Kola or Gray, who I think have been slightly worse.

I spent a long weekend there for Canadian Country Music Week in 2018 and it felt like all the worst parts of Winnipeg in one city. I couldn't find any nicer newer residential areas or something like the new box store areas around Sterling Lyon... it was just all old and run down. And yes, it smells.

Again, Walters has said they don't make "plenty of adjustments" from one season to the next. Not saying what will or won't happen, just reiterating what KW has said...

I honestly think Parker for Houston is addition by subtraction. Houston got a lot of stats, but at the expense of being assignment sound, IMO...

A thing to keep in mind is Walters has said many times that you can't do a wholesale overhaul. You have to do it slowly, in small pieces here and there. Obviously this season was as bit of an anomaly where we didn't really make any changes (they wanted to give last year's team a chance to redeem th shitty ending) but going forward, I don't think you'll see a whole bunch of changes even if some here think it's needed...

Depends if we get down early or not.... and you know they're gonna stack the box to take him away because our passing attack has been intermittent at best this year. So it's a matter of Can The OL Dictate This Game... if they do, from the outset, then we'll be alright to mix it up with a nice balance.

We are the late game tonight, so lots of time for a good pre game session. Oughta make this thread "interesting" by kick-off..... Go Blue!

Wouldn't be the first time....against BC... in BC ....

Sounds like Heinola long term... what a shame. Feel terrible for him.

If days like today... and every roster reveal day..... are you enjoying it..... then I think you might be a sadomasochist....

I was just thinking about prior to 2019.... 17to85 and I would make the joke that "even when we do finally win a Cup, someone like TBurg is gonna say 'Yeah, but you didn't win it the RIGHT way'...." and that's kinda what feels like is happening right now. Yeah, we have this generationally good team and first in the division for most of the past 3 years, with records being set...... but they're doing things the wrong way and we might go back to being just really good instead of generationally great because they're not doing it the way I think they should..." I think every single person on this board has been critical of it.

Some definitely are not.....

among a small handful of people on this board. I don't think the VAST MAJORITY of fans understand what is being complained about here or even thinks about it. They think about wins and losses, and the fact that we're number 1 in the West. It's easy to get caught up in the vacuum that is MBB, but a few angry people here does not equate to the majority of the fan base.

in the article it says 41k vehicle....

I feel like Neufeld is arguably our MO OL for this year.... don't wanna lose him. If anyone was gonna get subbed out, it's like Gray, who I generally like but feel like he's underperforming. But who knows... it's so hard to know what's actually going on along the line. Only the coaches really know for sure.

Anyone notice that Neufeld is a GTD....? No mention of him having issues during the week. Would imagine that Eli goes in if Neuf can't start....

There is just no way that Osh is making these roster cuts completely on his own. I can't figure out why people think this. Assistants will have had a say and absolutely Walters has a HUGE say in the roster. I mean, just based on everything we've ever seen from this front office, we have to believe that right?

So this is where I have an issue. I also know **** about football, but my mindset is "If I don't know ****, then I must trust the people who are paid to know and have demonstrated that they do know..."

some of you.... have borderline lost your minds. Yes, I absolutely have lost confidence in the team as a whole... in so much as you never know who is going to show up from week to week, so I'm not confident each week that we are FOR SURE going to win (as with the past couple years where you just knew we were going to win nearly every game) But there's just far too many assumptions made without having inside knowledge of what's actually going on. When there's statements like "He's reminding me of Maurice and I don't think the room is as tight as it's said to be" kinda thing.... c'mon. We're just going way overboard. There has to be a reason for these things happening... a logical reason. We just don't know what it is. Let's just see how all this plays out. If we go one and done in the playoffs, then there will likely be a lot of eyebrows raised and some changes made, I'm sure. But if we pump BC on Friday and then go on a run to the 'ship, maybe we can all just breathe a bit....
