  1. No he is great. His punting accuracy is excellent. He lacks the deep, booming punts but he is very good at pinning teams deep in their own end and avoiding putting it into the endzone or between the numbers where good returners will kill you.
  2. Hey I'm on board with getting rid of Hall. I just think it is unwise to ignore the absence of 3 of our best players. Maybe it would not have made a difference, but maybe it would have made a huge difference. Leggett in particular is, IMO, one of the best defensive players in the entire league. There is an argument to be made that our depth should be better. But Edmonton faced a test of their depth mid-season and it eventually caught up to them, but they had time to recover. Winnipeg faced a test of their depth late in the season and didn't have time to recover. I think we all want to look at things in black and white... it's natural.... this team won, that team lost, so this team is good, and that team is bad. But it's never that simple. And making knee-jerk decisions at the behest of passionate fans and media is what throws teams into multi-year spirals of failure.
  3. Medlock is a great punter. Sometimes I wonder what games people have been watching.
  4. That's ignoring that Adams, Leggett, and Westerman were gone. Take Zylstra, Ladler, and Willis out of the Esks lineup and that's a very different game don't you think? And put Reilly on a gimp leg and break his ring finger while you're at it.
  5. He's still an asset. The question is do you want to send Lemieux down safely or send Dano down and risk losing him? Do you want Lemieux playing in the AHL or sitting in the pressbox in the NHL? Do you care if Dano sits in the pressbox in the NHL? It's an easy decision.
  6. I'm so sad that I went 2/2 last week
  7. TB would be unstoppable if they picked up Trouba. They're already the best team in the league by a mile.
  8. The REDBLACKS!!!1!!! are simply being outplayed and outcoached in every phase of the game. Ugh.
  9. Ok then let them win and Kevin Glenn breaks his arm in the East final
  10. Dear God, please let the Riders blow this lead
  11. Save us Ryan Lankford, you're our only hope.
  12. If they spent all week saying Nichols was starting, and then start LeFevour, that is going to piss a lot of people off. How many casuals wouldn't buy tickets if it was LeFevour at the helm? Probably not a small number. I understand it is gamesmanship, but this team is also battling to regain a lot of good will that has been lost due to Joe Mack, IGF problems, etc and struggling to maintain relevancy with the Jets being back. You don't want to slap all your fans in the face now by lying to them.
  13. I think we all did
  14. And some even perpetrate the harassment themselves. https://deadspin.com/teen-girl-posed-for-8-years-as-married-man-to-write-abo-1820305588?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
  15. I disagree. Even in America this is not sexual harassment. Just a stupid response from a stupid person.
  16. Ahh the Tim Tebow offence
  17. It's not sexual harassment in the slightest. It's not a stretch to assume that many young women on a cruise will be wearing bikinis. It's not sexual harassment to use sexuality to sell a product. And it is certainly not "dictating what women should or shouldn't wear." The responding tweet is pure stupidity.
  18. To be clear, Hardrick was always in the lineup. But he was at LG while Neufeld was playing RT. Neufeld came out, Hardrick bumped to RT, and Bond came in at LG. And Nichols came in at the same time so the QB was holding the ball for far less time. Bond made a big difference but it's not like it was an isolated move. Several changes happened at the time to turn things around.
  19. We thought Nichols had a calf injury but it turned out he was pregnant all along. Who are our team doctors and how did they not catch this sooner?
  20. The terms are "mind boggling" and "moot". Don't you guys know anything.
  21. 190 yards IIRC. Then punctuated the win by running a victory lap around the field at Canad Inns. It came out after the game that he was the only player who had worn the special shoes suggested by the equipment guys. Well, it showed.
  22. Can't say anything without pissing people off on Twitter. Unbelievable.
  23. Oh yeah it's looking pretty sparse. But Saturday should be good for sales.
