We just need to wrap up the QB when given the chance. That was the biggest struggle with Reilly. If they had brought him down when they actually made contact or had contain then that game is much closer.

Absolutely, and if not, then the Bombers have an even better advantage. The goal should be to play your best Canadians and to find the best Canadians, regardless of position. Remember how we needed to take Scott Mitchell because he was a Canadian OL and Henoc played a traditionally import position? Just field the best team possible. Let me put it another way. Its simple market efficiency. All nine teams target Canadian OL, so finding talented Canadian OL is harder since the demand is so high. All nine teams are picking from that talent pool. How many teams are targeting a Canadian corner? Canadian MLB? Heck, even Canadian RB is still not that popular (and I really think this is a position that is going to seem a boom soon). There is less demand for those positions so the teams that are looking at them get to pick from a deeper pool. Its mining resources that have not yet been depleted.

Duane Ford just noted the league should scrap divisions too.

Stunned they didn't toss those players

And a fight breaks out...Argos are a mess.

You know, as this season progresses I find myself thinking that the CFL should just eliminate divisions and roll with the nine teams grouped together.

Leggett is a legit playmaker for this defense. Huge difference when he's there. He reads the plays well and has the physical ability to do everything Etch asks of a safety - demonstrated by his beautiful interception and sack in the game. He got lucky on the Arcenaux drop but that's about the only thing that really sticks in my mind.

Just like Lawless predicted - what a 'spanking.' For BC.

I haven't been a Grigsby fan at any point this season and am sticking with that assessment. Cotton should be in there, and if not him, then someone else.

BC is going to be really hard to beat at home, but we are a pretty formidable opponent for them as well. It would surprise me if it was a blowout for either side. I think Etch and the defense come up with a few turnovers to keep it interesting.

This is like when someone complains that the Jets haven't traded for Sidney Crosby yet... Except this idiot gets a print and radio platform to spew this. I also enjoy that he throws in that the Bombers 'should get spanked' tonight. Lawless has been waiting for that first loss of the year so that he can trot out how we're so bad. I would love to know if he's seen more than five minutes of a BC Lions game.

Most of the media, particularly Lawless, have the processing capacity of children. Win three games then lose one? Of course take all the negatives of the loss, blow them up to the biggest of issues, and print your article. They can't understand that a football team changes and improves (and weakens) over the course of an 18 game season. For a "columnist" he sure does love switching his opinions so that he can always yell the loudest. Yesterday O'Shea and crew could do no wrong...today suddenly the goodwill has disappeared for DISASTER AND MISTAKES.

What are they doing? Giving Ford a chance at the top spot? That would be hilariously insane. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't think Chamblin is a great coach. He's just smart enough to surround himself with outstanding coordinators.

I can hardly wait for your next post, Nate, on going after Casey Printers. You can screw right off with this idea and your hilarious "hidden" insult at Bomber fans.

It's like the East had just agreed the first team to five wins gets the division.

I really am scared of their D-line. Think they're going to get to Willy a lot and that's going to be a real problem.

"Hey, he got the team right. That's the kind of effort and work ethic we like to see here from our employees. You should be grateful for such awesome coverage. " - TSN

Does anyone actually have a problem with this move? Seems pretty much like we got a player Hamilton didn't want anymore and paid them a reasonable price for that (ie. near nothing).

Toronto really doesn't seem good at all. And Ray is masking some of their problems. I do think Burke will get the D fixed eventually though.

I can't read past the title. Hell no.

Did they announce Smith starting yet?

I think the Als will look very good tonight. Should be a close game.

I know he's punting for direction, but the goal is direction and some length, usually, depending on where you are on the field. Right now he's not getting either of those two consistently. We get one or the other, sometimes neither.

I don't think Renaud is very good. They always say he shines in camp but then in the games he's inconsistent.

I've watched the game twice now and I really, really think Grigsby is doing some good things...he's also getting a boost from the system. He's good in space, faster than I expected and overall I would call him a good back. But he gets taken down easily (I think the spin move is so noticeable that it sticks in the memory easily) and his blocking is atrocious. He will identify the man but then get absolutely smashed and taken back. Once they started attacking this weakness the offense started to stall.
