Given our lack of Canadian talent are we really in a position to be letting a guy like Bucknor walk?

People here will make any excuse they can to give Willy a free pass while at the same time discrediting Collaros & Crompton.

Hopefully they take Demski and then him and Coombs both come back to Winnipeg in consecutive years.

Denmark, Moore and Matthews have the potential to be the best trio of receivers in the league if we re-sign Matthews.

Anderson, Brohm, Bucknor, Sears, Washington and Wild are the only guys I particularly want back. Ian Wild is a must sign.

Unless you're a Don Matthews or Wally type of coach, you usually don't have a very long life span if you make an enemy out of the media.

I was thinking three.

The Riders were 8-2 with Durant throwing for 172 yards a game, they've been 1-6 without him while averaging something like 225 yards a game passing. As Yourface already stated, the correlation between throwing for a ton of yards and winning football games isn't there.

Willy cost us both of the games here against you guys with terrible game crushing interceptions. My biggest concern with Willy is the fact that he regressed as the season went on. And with a different QB we may not have even been in the game at all. Easy to point the finger when it comes down to one play but it's obviously not that simple. Listen I'm still a Willy fan, but he's still learning how to win. I won't call him a young QB seeing as he's in his late 20's but he's not there yet. The hope is that he can take his play from the first six games this year and elevate it, but that's hardly a certainty. The fact that he got worse and worse as the season went on is what really bothers me. Once again, hopefully with a better supporting cast and with the entire off season to recuperate from the beating he took this year he'll come back and build on what he did earlier this season but we have to be prepared if he comes back next year and plays like he has recently.

Passing yards is the most overrated stat that there is. Right, because all you need to do is go through your progressions, make the correct read, deliver a good ball, all the while having upwards of four or more people trying to take your head off every single play, and in the process hoping your receiver does his job properly by running the correct route and catching the ball while someone else is trying to take his head off as well or deflect the ball to prevent the completion....Unbelievable. Passing yards has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency. Kirk Cousins in the NFL is the perfect example of that. I'm a little surprised that someone who should be as knowledgeable as you would partake in a game of silly bugger like this, but then again if it could be seen as as a criticism towards the golden boy Drew Willy maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

He took two holding penalties but otherwise I thought he was solid. O'Shea said the penalties were a result of him playing RT when he's a natural LT. O'Shea says a lot of things. I don't believe 95% of them. Why? Has he lied to you? Has he lied about anything? Very weird that you question his honesty without any real reason to.. Do you believe anything O'Shea says to the media?

That's really interesting. 66% of my posts were following a loss, but I think that's more indicative to all the losing we were doing.

Is being a middling QB worth MOP? Its easily Denmark for me.

Us signing Picard would be about three years too late.

In no way shape or form is Crompton better than Drew Willy. That's absolutely ridiculous.

Willy has only had a better season than Crompton and Burris. He's very close to Collaros and Glenn but I think they've outplayed him.

Why the hell is Wilson sitting instead of Romby?

Here is a breakdown of Willy's performance in 6 game intervals. 1662 yards 7 TD 4 INT 1315 yards 5 TD 7 INT 770 yards 2 TD 5 INT Clearly regression is a word that could be used to describe these stats. Those stats don't mean much without the proper context. For example you say nothing about injury time, and some of those interceptions were not his fault. His game crippling interceptions against the Riders sure were.

He's good a player but he seems to be hurt all the time.

no the bombers have to have a better record to cross over. So my initial post was accurate before I was corrected. If the 6-9 Argos went 1-2 they'd be 7-11 so no it wasn't.

Willy holding onto the ball and getting sacked when there's open receivers down the field is nobody's fault but his own.

Looks like we may have found our running back. The only question is, why the hell did it take so long for O'Shea to give him a start?

I'm one of the biggest Willy fans around, but he's been a complete disaster the last month or so. We probably win this game with Brohm as our QB. Willy is shell shocked and needs to be sat down for the game in Calgary. It's extremely disappointing to see that he's regressed as the season has gone on, I understand that his supporting cast is terrible but that doesn't completely excuse his poor play.
