  1. Can it be they plan to run a lot of schemes with the FB lined up for additional blocking help - ie spying Betts? Lions certainly exposed our O-line as old and slow in the first game. Bombers certainly miss Janarion Grant for field position on returns. Here's hoping we see the good Winston Rose. Should be a real slobberknocker! Go Blue!
  2. Jones will surely be fired tomorrow. Starting to feel sorry for Edmonton. Although I'm sure this feeling will pass.
  3. I agree with this. One reason for the seeming Q4 success is because FB Damian Jackson was in as an extra blocker for some plays in the 4th Q vs Hamilton - evidence the braintrust believed the O-line could use a little pass pro and run block help at that point. Same way Bombers used LB Wade Miller to clear traffic on offence back in the day.
  4. Camera catches Geroy Simon complaining that Cornelius missed seeing that his receiver was "wide f*cking open!"
  5. Here's hoping 00 Les Maruo has a massive game. After all, he does have THAT number on his jersey. Go Blue!
  6. Ripple effect. Team really misses Janarion Grant on returns. Field position.
  7. Castillo was good though.
  8. ZC has the best passer rating in the league right now. Bombers also have given up 13 sacks - only Elks and Riders are worse in that category. Most, but not all of those can be pinned on the Oline falling asleep at the switch. Hopefully against Redblacks whatever has been ailing Bombers pass protection can be remedied. And hopefully Zach can get rid of the ball faster in the pocket, or they scheme to move the launch point to rollout. Go Blue!
  9. but will he choke
  10. What is the extent of Grant's injury? I mean I saw the play and it was an extremely goofy call by Buck, but I don't see JG listed on either the one or six game list. CFL says ankle. It is shocking really that no one in the news media actually asked O'Shea at the presser today if Grant was going on the injured list or whether he was day-to-day.
  11. I like the 1961 helmets with the white lightning bolt and numbers on the side. Anyone know if that was the one and only year Bombers wore those? Awesome look! https://www.helmethistory.com/winnipeg.html
  12. Hoping that ouch to Janarion Grant isn't too bad.
  13. Blue ahead but nothing to swagger about.
  14. Injured on just the goofiest playcall - running up the middle when it hasn't been available all night.
  15. Big play by Houston! Now time for the O - forget about pocket passing, let's call some sprint outs FFS
  16. Goofy to have Grant running up the middle where we can't block - he's an MVP
  17. Or QB sprint-out, change the launch point - this pocket passing didn't work vs BC and Calgary saw that.
  18. Brown is not activated for this game - non-football scratch etc etc
  19. Yoshi having a tough season so far.
  20. Bombers D has been weak against the run all year.
  21. Games like that, such ineptitude on both sides - I love this league but that's just embarrassing for the CFL.
  22. Calgary defence has given up a lot of rushing yards. Just hand Oliveira the rock and pound 'em. Also, Calgary has already given up one punt return TD and they've given up a ton of return yards. We can 100% expect Janarion Grant to entertain us against team Dickheadson.
  23. A month ago Dubois still had one year left on his old contract before becoming a UFA. So that old deal had to be voided before a new deal could be done. Pat Brisson, Dubois' agent, said 2 weeks ago that the player was not signing an extension with Jets. Then he signs an 8 year extension with the Jets. That new contract gets traded to Kings. I'm suggesting it is conceivable the Jets paid some of the $68M - as an inducement to Dubois accept the terms of the extension and to the Kings to part with those 3 players plus draft pick. They don't have to pay him anything on July 1 if they've already paid $8M bonus on signing.
