Noeller

Edm offered him a blank cheque to be HC/GM and run his own show entirely on his own with no oversight and he turned it down. I'm pretty confident he'll be back, along with Kyle, with some spiffy earned raises. The one I wonder about is Wade. He's said he doesn't want to be in that role forever, so I'm curious when he steps aside and who takes over.

Imagine going all in on Corny....

Ehhhh he hath forsaken us a long time.... I'll always be appreciative for 2000-2004, but that was a long time ago.

Not to mention that Osh showed a lot more promise, even early on. You could tell he wss going to be a good one, if they were just patient with him and let he and Walters build what they wanted to

LOAls vs LOLks.... Both just so so bad. Nice catch by Geno Lewis, tho... Dude is really good.

Lapo HC in The Gap next year with Khari as OC?

Fair enough, my friend. After reading the threads on here this afternoon, I'm feeling better about how things went. You're right about "knew they could easily beat" and turned it on when they needed to. What an incredible gift to have.

Finally watched the game this morning. On initial viewing, felt the Riders were truly awful moreso than the Bombers were great. Our Man Tait raving about Holm and Parker in his post game piece, but man I thought those two got picked on BAD last night. Sure they had lots of tackles.... They were constantly targeted for good reason. Woof. Offense went to sleep for long stretches and then randomly wakes up in the 4th.... Just wildly inconsistent. On ST, was that the worst game Grant has played as a Bomber?? Anyhow.... 1. Schoen. Cooper Kupp 2.0? 2. BA37 is starting to feel it again. 3. Legghio punted well and yes the tackle was fab. HH - The Bombers and CFL for everything indigenous related yesterday. Absolutely LOVED the calls in Ojibway, and all the indigenous culture being showcased. Amazing.

Nah, Lapo can be a HC again...... In The Gap, plz.......

I chuckled...

Really tight game... I think we pull it out, but it won't be pretty.

Only playing half a season helped re: health last year...

wow... closing in on a sellout at the end of September, coming off a brutal loss to arguably the worst team in the league? Unreal fan base.

"what's the prevailing tone on this board today? ....Okay, well I'll take the opposite side of the discussion......"

I'd say it's less about pressure and more about containment. If you can keep Faj in the pocket and force him to pass, he's ******. He's likely the worst pure passer in the league right now. Jury's out on how well we can maintain containment with Wilcots etc filling in.

Evans is a FAR better passer than Faj..... not even the same universe.

so much this. Having never played organized football at any point in my life, I come here for Booch posts (and JBR and some others who have coached and played and clearly understand minutiae)

I've been thinking a lot about this. I think we can all agree that Walters never stands pat. If he believes a move needs to be made, he'll make it. He's proven this. So the only thing I can think of, if we're not making many moves, is that they're relatively certain they're getting bodies back before too long. Right now is the key......right now, we're really dinged up. "When Healthy", then I don't see a team better than us.

absolutely this. You can talk about 12-2 all you want, but if you don't see problems with our roster/depth chart right now, then you're not paying attention

still one of the best (the best?) malt barley producers in the world. Breweries the world over demand Canadian (especially Albertan) malt barley...

this game definitely isn't going to be a cake walk like BB was.....until we start getting some bodies back, we're going to really be in tough.
