  1. It could only help Wallace in his growth and give Neufeld some rest so "if" by some chance we make the play offs he will be more healthy to play.
  2. I was wondering why RDJ would bother doing another Marvel movie.... and then I read about him getting 100 million+ to play Doom.... wowza~! I'm guessing this is a last ditch effort hail mary to bring back interest in Marvel movies since Disney ran everything into the ground.
  3. The cardboard beds are hilarious, it will be funny that these beds will be the most memorable parts of these Olympics.
  4. I'm not worn out, just feels like everything is stagnant. I'd rather they play new guys and go th rough the growing pains with the highs and lows rather then watching the team slowly fall apart hoping that the vets will find their game again.
  5. No I see the Riders signing Masoli next season
  6. See other clubs can cut under performing veterans... why can't we do the same?
  7. Were you not around on these boards last season when as the season went on people were discussing the cracks in Zach's game and how it was a concern going into the play offs?
  8. Didn't that Strev guy play in the NFL for several years... I'm sure Ford being benched and at times dropped to 3rd string in the CFL is a much better QB.....
  9. Even if it's a minor upgrade... it could help at least ease the transition until the NFL cuts where maybe we can sign a big upgrade late in the season.
  10. Why does it feel like O'Shea will make the tough decisions (i.e. benching the vets who are playing like crap) late in the season and once they actually insert new players who are hungry the team will regain a pulse and come alive and win several games late in the year when it is already too late? I feel like we've seen smaller versions of this story several years ago where it was glaringly obvious that a few positions needed a new face and when they finally make the change the team sees an instant improvement. Why not give Strev 3 - 5 games to see how he can progress and play? It's not like it could be much worse then Zach and his non existent TD's? Why not sit Bighill for at least 2 games and see if his replacement can make the tackles that he can no longer make? The team can no longer use the excuse of "extended pre season" or needing to shake the cob webs... what we see is what we are getting at this point so why wait until its late in the year to make a change?
  11. Once again...will O Shea have the balls to sit him?
  12. Worldwide its definitely Ronaldo or Messi. Those guys are making crazy money on endorsements. I'd assume locally it's McDavid or LeBron. At the schools for where my children attend I do see lots of Jets jerseys but it's a mixture of the players. We don't have that one go to guy like back in the day where everyone had a Selanne or Hawerchuk jersey.
  13. Kramdi should have a bit of a leash , but I'd hope the team would not settle with him and would be on the lookout for an upgrade.
  14. Bede I always thought was the big leg guy who missed the important kicks. Never a guy who struggled and shaky. A guy who would nail 50 yarders with room to spare. He was a guy who wasn't known as being clutch.
  15. I agree, the issue is that some players degrade from injuries and physically just cant come back. Bighill and BA indent believe can physically return to form. I wouldn't care if they brought in 30 year olds with experience if those guys had fresh legs and could give one or two good quality seasons. Thomas isn't as bad as people are making him out to be. I think his issue isn't health related and more so talent related... he's a depth guy and not a full time player.
  16. Damn he would of done a bad trade to get rid of Ford Watch Jones take over Hamilton in a few weeks!
  17. Jones likes making insane moves... can we dump some of our veteran crap for Ford?
  18. If they won't outright cut him... could they at least 6 game - thorax him? I'd much rather they give those reps to a guy with upside and have those growing pains rather then watching someone rapidly decline week in and week out who is holding the team back big time with his play.
  19. Jeeze I leave the room to get a drink and come back and they already are losing. It's getting more difficult to choose watching this team over watching the endless amounts of movies in my backlog....
  20. FYI .... other clubs in the CFL lose veterans every season. Why is it so odd that we lose a few and it's looked upon as something bizarre and unheard of. If anything the Bombers have had the smallest amount of change over during the last 5 seasons and to a certain extent it's hurt the club.
  21. 24 / 37 for 277 yards and 5 TD - 1 int playing with the Jets against vastly superior talent that is in the CFL isn't enough proof? Me thinks people have tunnel vision and are focusing on when LaPo had him running the gadget plays. The only thing this season that Strev needs to work on is his touch and placement on his short dump off passes.
  22. We ordered from Pancho & Lefty's which is mexican food and it was above average. The tacos and Mexican street corn were really tasty and the prices were reasonable. It's located on Watt street near Nairn Ave and I believe they only do take-out and delivery (we did delivery). The pic below from their site is accurate with what we received.
  23. Adam Bighill for Taylor Powell and a young Canadian prospect
  24. I keep going back to the first time I saw Strev play live in person in his first season. When Nichols was completely washed up and couldn't do anything outside of a 5 yard dunk pass. It was 100% clear Nichols was shot and the O was lethargic and was so easy to gameplan against. Strev comes in and plays as a QB who scrambled and occasionally ran for a first down. His weird throwing motion (almost like he was flicking a dart) was surprisingly effective since it released the ball quickly and what he did that Matt didn't was make quick decisions, tossed the ball to receivers who were 10+ yards down field and let them make a play. Guys like Darvin and Wolitarsky who were seeing nothing suddenly became part of the game which opened things up. The next season when LaPo was trying to me smart and would run ridiculous flea flicker qb cartwheel cannon ball end around dispy doo plays that would end up hurting Strev and completely neutered him as a QB. We need Strev to play as a QB, the battering ram QB shtick wont last. Last week when Strev rolled out and dumped it off to Brady it absolutely froze Ottawa and those plays are what I think we need to use Strevs legs for.
