That's a weird way to talk smack...."they've only beaten every single team in the league except literally the worst team in the league and us who they haven't played yet." That wouldn't even rile me up as a player, it would just confuse me. Like what are watching man? Could be argued that they did beat themselves in TO.

Did you not read the 1st sentence of that tweet? Hodge DOES pick Alford, but thinks Williams will get it.

Yeah I'm more concerned about Mcguire leaving.but even that, he hasn't shown much so I'm not a lot of teams will be making offers.

In their last game, when Duke recovered the onside kick....I thought he was gone...but not was caught from behind rather quickly. He looked very slow.

Yeah that was an odd tweet.

I'm trying to figure out what that starred out word is.... Oh I see

He probably thought he had a better chance of getting a starting gig...do you think they told him he'd be on the PR when they signed him as a FA? Also you don't even know if it was his choice to begin with lol. Sometimes...the team doesn't try to re-sign players.

I do remember the game you're talking about too. It may have been 2015? Ray couldn't miss and our DB's couldn't cover.

What gives? Non vaxxed?

The 1st game we played Ray (Argos) at the new stadium the Bombers destroyed them. I remember that game cause Ray was named the #1 player in the league by TSN but the Bombers **** kicked them... I was so full of optimism and hope!! lol

Yeah Stanback is gonna be this Dlines biggest challenge of the year.

League wide, kids under 12 get free tickets.

Yes? I think you're agreeing with me?

I completely disagree about that OL statement. Wpg's OL has been Dominant for 4 years now. No changes coming into the year. If anything, that was the ONE thing that would have been easy to predict.

If they can pull off a W this week, that could be real good news for Lucky and his chances at a playoff cheque.

Yeah put Reilly on basically any other team...or at the very least a team that has an OC that remembers they're allowed to run the ball and he does just fine.

Again I agree. I just thought the comparison to Dickenson didn't work.

He's ready to go and play because of the team around him. Not because he's been developed. How has Arbuckle faired since leaving? Or basically any other back up from CGY? It takes more than a QB to win. Dickenson was a part of developing that team over the years. and then became a HC of a championship calibre team when Huff stepped down. He didn't have to start from scratch like Lapo has.

I generally agree with your takes on Lapo. But this isn't at all a fair comparison lol. Dickenson has never had to take over a Dumpster fire team. Comparing what CGY is (was?) and what Lapo has had to work with just isn't fair. It's bordering on apples to oranges imo.

Did I just go through most of this thread....yes I did. Below (and one above) are some of my favorites, some because they're spot on others because they aged like milk out in the sun! Man how things have changed!!

Some beauty comments in here. Hard to believe it was 6 years ago already though.

I love the comment at half time...."I'm sure those are legal shoes he's wearing now".....

This is what I was gonna say. Sure he helped win a grey cup, but without Richie Halls defence it never would have happened. It wasn't like the O was lighting it up in the playoffs. And when you look at what the O is doing this year, with essentially the same talent from the playoffs in 2019....there's one missing piece....obviously it's hard to compare it apples to apples but I'm also not sure this is what it would have looked like if Lapo was still here.

Any GM is going to listen the the HC in terms of what players they would like. This isn't unique to either Lapo or Marcel. I'm not sure there will ever be a HC that has a good record after 3 years of coaching garbage teams. I'm not saying lapo is a good HC, just that I'm not sure anyone would have done much better in those circumstances.
