no the bombers have to have a better record to cross over.

Any one who watched Grigsby play here knows that it doesn't matter one bit what he does in Hamilton. Guy was too soft and too much of a sissy as a running back to be effective in Winnipeg. It's an easy position to recruit for, why settle for someone who goes down on contact that easy and hesitates before hitting the line of scrimmage? Any scouting department worth it's salt should be able to find runningbacks who can do the job. The fact that Cotton when given the ball looks better should show that Grigsby ain't worth worrying about. It's only two games, but realistically the guy (Cotton) has had limited reps and it does take some time to get your timing down in game speed, plus the whole offense was a train wreck in Edmonton (for some reason, Willy and the Offense match up extremely poorly against the Edmonton D - 3 points at home in their first game and 3 points in real time, 6 in garbage time, here in Edmonton). I hoping Cotton has another strong game. But.... I'll be watching Grigsby to see if he's a liar (the fact it was 'him' against the world here) or telling the truth. yeah, I'd chalk it up to the fact that they have a crazy powerful D-line, and we have a shitty offensive line This but also game planning. How we don't game plan against that is beyond me....no tightend sets...no screens etc etc. MB should take a lot of the blame for that game as far as I'm concerned.

He was ranked in the top 15 prospects by central scouting and was considered a decent steal in the 4th round. HEY NO FACTS! Every other GM in the history of sports has perfect draft picks except dirty mack!

I think the blame is on both sides of the ball. Our Defense seems to be built to play with a lead...but our offence is new, so it's fairly predictable that they would struggle at some point. The offence struggles, the defence gives up some points (which is going to happen no matter how good you are) and everything snow balls....teams run against us to kill the clock....we can't run cause we're down...other teams go hard at the qb....etc etc It just piles up. I'd prefer to start next year with 2 new coordinators. But if I had to choose one to leave and one to keep. I would keep MB and find a new DC.

Watson? buck

I have this problem...however I don't pay for cable and have rigged it up myself to show the basic stuff. It sucks but I don't pay anything so I can't really complain.

wtf? Have you been paying attention at all? Did you just read that one post and think that's exactly how it happened??? OR did I just entertain a troll....damn it!!

I don't know about overrated but if we're looking for someone who won't quit.....might want to look another way.

Exactly. Bryant isn't scaring anyone. It's sad if Bryant is the guy we're relying on to stretch the field. I'm sorry that you can't tell Bryant is the faster of the two. I'm not sure what else to say.

It has nothing to do with who has had the better year. They want more speed on the field. Kelly isn't running by anyone. Bryant can open it up. End of story.

I hope we see the Cotton that appeared in the pre season.

The logic is...we're screwed and need anyone who has thrown a football within the last 30 months. Well, here's hoping DD returns in time for the playoffs, and in the meantime Sunseri can put a full 4 quarters of football without any major disasters... NOOOOOO, here's hoping DD can't return until mid season next year and riders don't win another game for the rest of the year.

he inherited Durant that's the only one. His usual MO if he needs to find his own qb is look around the league at backups and get one of them in hopes they can start. Worked out pretty well for him with Khari Jones and Kevin Glenn. Now my timing is fuzzy, but was Taman the Riders GM when they brought in Drew Willy? I meant, has he ever brought one up to the CFL. I know how he got Jones and Glenn and Durain't. Just wondering if he's ever brought some up that have stuck. I seem to remember him being fairly bad at that while here.

Has taman every found a QB? Or has he just inherited the decent ones?

my streaming site has been blocked at work. Thanks for the updates guys.

Volny has been through plenty of coaches and systems. He has yet to make anyone think he could be a starting RB in the CFL. During all the practices, during all the training camps he has yet to beat out anyone for the starting position. That includes aging vets and CFL rookie. He's not a starter, because he's not good enough. Plain and simple.

And they could report the news back to us....we could call them "sports reporters" man if only Winnipeg had a couple of those!

While I'd like to see Sears on the field as much as possible. If bruce is healthy he should play. He's been arguably our best DB this year. He most certainly has not. Randle has been the best and I don't think that's really up for debate. Johnson has been good no question about that, but has he been better than Washington? Not sure I can go that far. Was he any better than Sears was? Don't think I can say that either, has he been better than Leggett? Dunno about that either. Really what we have is a secondary that have all been doing quite a good job. Sears I wouldn't replace though, too much of a playmaker, gotta make room on the roster for guys like that. You know what "arguably" means right? I never claimed he was "the best".

One of the many recent stupid threads. Anyone who thinks willy needs to be brought down to earth, isn't as knowledgable about the game of football as they think they are.

Well flutie did it....so you know.....

Yeah, why are they sticking with this bum? If they were smart they'd put in the guy who started the first 6 games. Now that guy was decent. With a young starting QB and really newly rebuilt team people should be a bit more patient and a lot more impressed with how the Bombers are playing in a tough division. 1 - 5 in the division, including a 23 point loss to Edm and 17 point loss to the Lions. I don't know how to be impressed by that? Those losses where 100% willy's fault too......smh

I'm glad Sears is back in....but if there was one DB I didn't want him to replace it would be Johnson. If we could get randle, sears and johnson on the field at the same time. That would be great...

Is this Palls first game? How many has he dressed for? And how many has he played in? Anyone know?
