As far as anyone on here knows anyway. Just cause the media isn't talking about it, doesn't mean it isn't happening. Or maybe he was contacted and turned down the offers. I'm not a fan of his, but this is speculation at best.

kinda bummed about Bennet, but can understand why he would go to Riders, at worst he's fighting for the #2 with a legit shot at getting starting time. Not sure that will be the case here, I don't see how the bombers don't sign Nichols and Glenn.

You can say that about the way it's done now too. And messing up calls is a part of football. I was all for trying to get the calls done right every time. But it's becoming something that distracts from the game itself. There's always going to be missed calls. The only way to stop that would be to allow challenging of every play with unlimited challenges. And I won't watch that. A QB missing a throw happens, RB's drop the ball, WR's run wrong routes, Refs miss calls. These mistakes will always be a part of the game. It's time to stop thinking we can make it perfect and just except the human aspect of it. I'm for the current way as well, but I'd prefer 1 and done challenges, open to all plays. Challenging plays won't improve the reffing (as we've all seen) paying them properly and holding them accountable will.

I honestly think you should get one review, and one review only. No matter the turn out. You get one review. And can use it to review any play you want.

Yes when Richie Hall was the DC. I believe CC was the Defensive Coordinator for one year with the riders. That was 2015...that team speaks for itself.

You're opinion is wrong ;). He's responsible for one of, it not the worst defense the CFL has ever seen. BIG time NO from me.

Oh I hope he doesn't come here.

Lawless tweeted that Carter will be deciding between the rider/stamps/esks.....so they aren't far off on that one.

You've got to rely on your running game in games like this. It helps your defense, it helps your quarterback, it helps your play-action game, it helps everything. It helps your drop back passing game too!"Gary Etchevery So he does know that teams run the ball in the CFL...

What have they proven? That when they are gifted a legendary QB they can win? Or that they can develop QB's and immediately let them go? Or that they can lose a locker room? Sorry just trying to figure out what they've proven. And considering Football is a "what have you done lately" business...the question is, What have they done lately? I'm not sure based on that alone, how anyone could want to make a trade like you're suggesting.

I thought I read that Manny didn't practice today. So not sure I'd say he's going to be in the line up.

That sums up this post pretty well.

Yup, unless we can get someone who is much better than those three americans. I honestly see no reason to change it up. They have come together as a group and that goes a long long way to playing like a championship line.

I'd add Mcduffie to that list.

I'd like to see more pressure from the D as well. Especially with Loffler roaming around back there. Stuff the run, pressure the QB. Turn overs will come.

anyone else seeing BC get absolutely destroyed next week? No Manny, outside in CGY. I'm picking CGY by 20+

Loffler didnt have time to stop and say...oh ok he didn't catch it. He was in the air when Manny tipped the ball away. He was making a football play during the most important game of the year to seperate the ball from the rec. Didn't lead with his head. Even turned away from the hit. Two big guys running like that, there's bound to be an accident here or there. They called Loffler only cause Manny didn't get up. it unfortunate, but you can't penalise guys for accidents. If Loffler had jumped under Manny's chin, then sure that's not good. But he didn't. Manny was Ko'd as a result of playing hard football. Not cause Loffler tried to hurt him.

two big guys running full tilt towards each other. Loffler did not lead with his head. Turned away from the hit. The ball had just been tipped away as Loffler went for contact. Slowing it down and analysing is one thing. But in real time. There's no chance to change what you're doing. It happens way way way to fast. Like I said Loffler didn't do anything illegal. He got penalized because Manny got KO'd. Case in point...Dressler gets leveled the play before the field goal..no penalty on the same type of hit. Only one difference. Dressler got up. Accidents happen. When there is no illegal actions involved, you can't penalise a guy for an accident.

my thinking too. He played really well. I'm fine with him coming into next year as the starter!

The other part is, how has Richards not been able to even get a look in this O. Is he still that far off?

about time. I've always believed Kohlert could be a top CND rec in this league, but his play has dropped considerably. I've also believed that JFG has been under used since joining the bombers. So hopefully he performs well this week and makes another couple of clutch grabs!!

It's also everyone's first year in this system. While I think things could be better, I'm willing to give them a break due to it being new. Next year at this time I'm hoping (assuming Lapo isn't a HC somewhere) things will be better than they are now. Saying that I still think our O is better than what the stats say. For the most part they've been able to put drives together when they needed to be. Big plays, solid runs, long drives etc. The bombers have gotten it done in almost every way you could want all year long.

I'm so glad the talks have stalled. I hope Jones lets him walk!

Glenn and the Bombers (not the argos) first round draft pick for franklin? too steep? maybe. What does edmonton need that the bombers have?

does the game start at 6 or 7 tonight?
