Man those fields are tiny

and won more games then Elliot did.

Yah. Hank showed up. Hes playing on a **** team. But still I think everyone would rather play in Ottawa then in Montreal.

Austin cut Burris for a newbie qb in collaros. He deserves what he got. Kinda like Edmonton trading ray for jyles? I bet if Burris is playing in Hamilton there record is a lot better. Ottawa is having a rough time, but their oline is weak and their team looks weak overall. That being said i much rather Be In Ottawa then in Montreal. All that circus needs is for mike Kelly to ride in and finish the show.

so like a reicever and not a RB? lol. He is good out in the flats or out in the open, but he doesn't have the power to drive the pile or break tackles. yet.

What would have been a good play call then? Going into the middle of the field where 3/4 of the ticats defenders are? Trying to run the ball when we have no success doing that? The fact that Willy dropped the ball in where only Grigsby had a chance at it and the fact that Grigsby beat his coverage so badly means that the play call was in fact a good one! Every ******* offensive play requires players to do their jobs and not make mistakes, what makes this one any different? Thee fact that you hate rainbows? There''s a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. but he didnt do any of that. No one was open so he threw it up.. It just happened that where it came down, grisby had some space on the defender. he threw it up for grabs. His words.. We won.. YAY!!!! Play called was NOT to THROW IT UP. It was to go to denmark or grisby in the flats..There were both covered so he threw it up and we won.

Is it really that low percentage though? RB on a linebacker or DL and just lob it over the coverage... Khari Jones put a lot of tds on the board just by putting the ball up and letting guys make a play on it why shouldn't Willy? Yah, it is a low %. Most of the time, you'll get a LB on the RB, not a DE. The additional speed and cover ability, quickly turns that TD into a knock down and a win to a loss. Most of the time, when 2 receivers are in the same spot, the ball isn't completed. By that logic any play is a low % play call because you clearly expect the coverage to never get beaten and to make plays to knock the ball down. What I saw happen was the qb saw his RB beat his coverage badly so he dropped the ball over top of the coverage. Seems to me that's what good qbs do to make plays. Throw the ball where the receiver can catch it and the defender can't. That Denmark brought his route too close to the play is nothing to do with the play call. You are right in the bolded part.. But the rest is all wrong. You are either arguing just for shits and giggles are you aren't able to listen to what others including the qb are saying. Play was to go to denmark, but he wasn't open, SO HE THREW IT UP AND HOPPED SOMEONE WOULD COME DOWN WITH IT. He didn't plan to throw it to grisby, He didn't try to get it grisby as he had beat the defender, he threw it up in the area the recievers were. Watch the highlights.. he lobbed it up.. much like we did when we were kids playing " 500" where you throw the ball up and call a number of points the throw is worth.. Get enough points, your turn to throw. Listen to what Willy said. From CJOB post game approx 27 minutes in: Irving: Was that your read on the play? Willy: I was looking to Denny in the corner and Grigsby was in the flat, I didn't think any of them were really open. So I just wanted to give them a shot to make a play. Irving: The pass was a bit of a prayer was it? Willy: Basically, wasn't too skillful. There wasn't much there so I decided to give our guys a chance.

Is it really that low percentage though? RB on a linebacker or DL and just lob it over the coverage... Khari Jones put a lot of tds on the board just by putting the ball up and letting guys make a play on it why shouldn't Willy? Yah, it is a low %.

Throw the ball where the receiver can catch it and the defender can't. That Denmark brought his route too close to the play is nothing to do with the play call. It was a low % play that worked. That doesn't turn it into a high % play or a good play call. Willy made a great throw. That doesn't turn it into a high % play or a good play call. Denmark running a bad route doesn't have anything to do with if it's a good play call or not, but it does greatly reduce the chances of success. Why oh why must you always be so argumentative? It is no more of a low % percentage play than many others in a game! Cause one of them is talking out of his ass.. And in this case it isn't tburgess.

Is it really that low percentage though? RB on a linebacker or DL and just lob it over the coverage... Khari Jones put a lot of tds on the board just by putting the ball up and letting guys make a play on it why shouldn't Willy? Yes. Otherwise teams would always pass on second and 2 vs running the ball.

Is it me or does grisly seem slow trying to round the corner? Cotton looked faster and more powerful running up the middle like he is leaning into the defender and driving his legs and them backwards. Could be the weird camera angles. It is concerning that we let a 20-3 lead vanish pretty quickly, but on the other hand it's the firs time in ages that I still believe willy can march down the field and win the game in the final seconds. It's all hope and optimism for the majority of the game (minus Edmonton) which makes the games much more enjoyable to watch and get excited for. The last few years, when the other team was up but 10 it felt like the game was out of reach with all the two and outs.

It was a 2nd round draft pick, and given where the Bombers finished the season it was an early 2nd rounder... Here's the problem I still have with the trade: Walters had all the leverage in that trade. Riders wanted Hall, one of if not the best DE in the league for their playoff push, they were likely to lose Neufeld at least to the expansion draft anyway. Walters jumped the gun and paid too much. Hall and an actual late pick would have been one thing, but Hall and a high 2nd? That's an overpayment for a player the Riders were just trying to get some return on. I felt the same way at the time of the trade, but now I look at it like we got a starting OL for a second round pick... which we probably wouldn't have been able to do if we had kept the pick. We also got a fourth-rounder back in the trade. but you can't ignore Hall in the trade, he was a star player, the fact that he's not in the league now is irrelevant, he helped the Riders to win a Grey Cup, he was a huge part of the trade. Walters seems to me to pay whatever the cost to get his player which can be good or bad. At least he knows what he wants, but you can't always be paying sticker price in trades. Sticker price is sucker price. The thing is, nobody gives up starting OL. It took the first overall pick to pry Jon Gott out of Calgary... he is a good OL but definitely not the best in the league or anything. I believe that you are undervaluing Neufeld at this point. But he wasn't a starter in Saskatchewan and with the expansion draft coming up they were going to lose him anyway. It was them trading a depth player, and yes he was a depth player for them,in order to bolster their defensive line for a playoff run. No way should Walters have been adding a 2nd round pick. 4th round pick now we're talking, but not a 2nd. They may not have lost him in the expansion draft and u stating it as fact is pure conjecture. Ottawa May not have wanted him or sask may have protected him. Walters may still have paid too much, but he valued the player over the pick and a pending free agent. Hall is out of the league, so Walters did alight. Had we kept him we got nothing. We got neufeld and gave up a 2nd round pick. The draft is a crap shoot and I believe I recall u saying the draft isn't a sure thing. So.. What more important? A player who's shown he can play in the cfl (even just as a back up on a team with a great oline) or an unknown draft pick.. In hindsight Walters made a great trade but at the time it looked pretty lopsided. Hall wasn't going to take us to the playoffs and was going south the first chance he got so it seemed..

Most exciting team / finishes we have had in a long time.

The More cowbell thing is news to me.. BUT.
