neither Fine nor Dolegala concerns me... just the "ghosts of LDC", more than anything. People talk about the 7-1 vs 1-7 game, but neglect to mention that was a dead cat bounce game because they canned their coach and brought back Grandpa for the rest of the season. Special circumstances. This game SHOULDN'T be close unless Collaros keeps ******* around. Hopeful this game he has the kinks ironed out and looks more like the ZC8 we saw in the 2nd half vs Montreal.

CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Noeller replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
As a stupid 17 year old, I fully believed in Reinebold and "a younger mentality" after Kindly Cal's old school ways. In a lot of ways, those seasons galvanized me as a Bombers fan. So many jumped off the wagon, and I was determined to hang on. I have vivid memories of listening to the Troy Kopp game on my little CD/Radio in my BU dorm room and just screaming and yelling so loud that people came running down the hall wondering what the hell was going on. Ha ha. 2013.... the irony of a shitty defense then is that Burke circa 2011 is one of the best DC's we've ever had. Lapo even said he was the biggest FA acquisition they made going into that year and a big reason why we went to the Cup. There were dark times, and I certainly came close (as Matty Geebs alluded to, 2013 era was SO bad...) but 17to85, in one of the only times I can think of him ever being right about anything, said " You have to hang on because one day this is going to end, and when it does it's going to be all the more glorious for having gone through this ****".... damned if he wasn't right for once. -
They also lost their KR, right? And he was arguably their best player. They've got Mauldin, who's really good, but otherwise it's a lot of average pieces. Like most teams, they're one decent QB away from being a solid team...

You have my attention, sir...... edit.... unfortunately appears to not exist online anywhere. Is this an old book that you got pre-owned somewhere?

Gonna mix it up and go with Schoen this time...

Happy for Edmonton fans and happy for Ford.... What a ridiculous record.
-
Edmonton's short yardage unit is the shits. Couple of times now they've been in like 2nd and 3 or 4 and get absolutely nothing. Brutal.
-
I'm no longer going with LOLks... With Tre Ford in, they have a chance and are earning more respect. This team just might make playoffs... Unthinkable a few weeks ago.
-
Ford is legit... I stand by that. I'm not saying he's Doug Flutie but I think he can be a legit starting QB in this league...... In time.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Noeller replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Interesting note from Our Man Tait (and always I encourage you to head to BB.com and read all the pieces in full) in the latest edition of Upon Further Review: "AND, FINALLY… there was some confusion Thursday as to the capacity at IG Field and whether the announced crowd of 32,343. Some background: when the building first opened capacity was listed at 33,500. Sellouts last year when the club led the CFL in attendance for the first time in franchise history were listed at 33,234. The new capacity is 32,343 with the further expansion of the party decks and the removal of flex seating to improve the fan experience. Thursday’s crowd was the first sellout of the season and the third attendance total to eclipse the 30,000 mark. The next two home dates include the Banjo Bowl vs. the Saskatchewan Roughriders on September 9th – that game is already sold out – plus a visit from the Toronto Argonauts and the return of Andrew Harris on September 29th. The Edmonton Elks round out the regular season schedule on October 21." -
Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
Noeller replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Thank you!! I actually went as far as to mute the word Rourke on Twitter because I was so sick of hearing about him. The whole Kid Canada thing drives me nuts. He's played hardly any football in Canada and virtually all of his training is in the US. The only way this amount of drooling would be worthy is if the player was born here, raised here, and played all their ball here...graduated CIS.....THEN became a star. That would be something to talk about. Other than his birth certificate, there is almost nothing separating Nathan Rourke from any other NCAA football player.... Tre Ford ...an actual CIS QB that played all his football here.... Should be getting hype as a starting QB in pro football. **** the Rourke's. -
100% possible. This absolutely REEKS of Americans thinking they're funny
-
This. If they can find a way to sneak out with 2pts, I'll consider it fortunate and happily slink away. Anything more than that is an incredible stroke of luck and I'll take it.
-
so my theory on this (because this ******* commercial drives me crazy) is that some American consultant went "You know what's popular? Letterkenny! We're going to make our own quasi-Letterkenny commercial!" but completely missed the mark, and had no idea what he or she was doing in the first place. Just an awful idea all the way around, and I can't believe it passed by as many people as it would have, and nobody said "wait a second....." before letting it air.
-
Came home from work and PVR effed up, but was able to watch the highlights online and LMAO! TiCats, arguably the worst team in the league, absolutely take it to the Lions. Incredible. VAJ is exactly who we always knew he was.... As JBR said, in the Fajardo tier. Two wildly overrated QBs forever. And as Matty Geebs said, YIKES to us getting throttled by them earlier in the year. Ouch.
-
Shared about a week ago on here... And yes a very good idea from a very good brewery.
-
Can not believe he was still alive.....
-
You just know that little girl is going to be absolutely insufferable as an adult. Just a Karen-In-Training....
-
I know that this is virtually impossible for the average fan to say, but just for conversation sake: Who's been our best OL so far this year? Is it automatically the LT because that's the toughest job?
-
Still only one loss... I'd be shocked if they weren't 1st. Until we beat them, they'll stay there.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Noeller replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah, I just worry about Jeffcoat. You see how incredible he can be when he's healthy.... don't wanna risk running him dry too soon. Get some good rotation going on and keep everyone fresh....then we're set. -
Yeah, I've got one that legitimately loves the games... looks forward to game day every week.. and I'll never go back to the other way.

whatever you do... just don't get married.....
