The Most Important Game: Wpg @ Regina
Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I feel like the whole mentality of winning labour day classic being like our grey cup is over. We simply want to win football games. Doesn't matter if it's Sakschewan, Calgary, etc the mindset has to be to take care of business and win a grey cup. -

Second HM: we won't have to listen to Rod Black talk about Nik Lewis anymore. I get its a big moment, but we have a football game going on, a damn good one to boot. -

1. Randle 2. Harris 3. Denmark HM: Medlock perfect again tonight -
2nd I mean yes we can always get better at every position but this has quietly become a strength of our team.

Winnipeg is a great sports city. Let's face it. A Winning football club will generate more interest on a station like 1290 . If we were 2-6 instead of 6-2 we probably wouldn't hear much. People are still in the honey moon stage with the Jets but if they don't start winning this year and the Bombers are among the elite teams I can see more air talk on the radio dedicated to the Bombers in the future.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I would love to snag one of Demski or Coombs in the off season. That would be a huge move for the Bombers. -
I really enjoy Petans game, his passing skills are phenomenal. It's obvious he will never get a full chance on the jets. I hope he gets an opportunity on a team that needs some offense. He's basically a top six or bust player but unfortunately he won't be that player for the Jets.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
He had an okay rookie year. 960 yards with a 3.6 YPC I'm sorry but another under 4.5 shouldn't be congratulated. They simply chose to give him the ball time and time again. His career YPC is an abysmal 3.3 he simply can't read the right hole and when you have terrible awareness like that it's next to impossible to be taught. There's a reason why he was out of the league within 4 years despite being a third overall draft pick.. -
Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Oddly enough he's had a pretty good NFL career. The fact that was 8 years ago and he's still in the NFL. No doubt in my mind he would be a productive player. His speed was/is something else. Not like Trent Richardson who's a fat over weight running back who's skill set wouldn't even be suited for the CFL -
I think some expected Smith to be the big play guy and Dressler to be productive but not dominant. Dressler has done everything and more in my eyes since being a Bomber and his play hasn't trickled off at all. He will be a huge part of our offense down the stretch but a trio of Adams-Dressler-Walker would be absolutely dangerous and definitely put our core with the very best in the league.

Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
He's actually worked with the NFL this last draft and mentored NFL hopefuls. He fully takes responsibilities for his actions and his career. He's really an interesting guy to hear talk. Very open and honest about his past and pretty intelligent too. -
I wouldn't drop Dressler. He's our best reciever when healthy. Denmark unfortunately has been mostly invisible. It's too bad because him and Nichols had such good chemistry and part of the reason for our resurgence was the play of Nichols and Denmark together. I'd love for us to make a big mid season move. We're a good football club and another receiving threat would certainly help this offense.
-
No one will trade for Oko unfortunately. I see his days numbered at his salary. Jeffcoat has been great.
-
I don't always or usually as a matter of fact agree with his opinion but I do give him credit for backing up his opinion, and adding to the discussion.

Somehow the hangover doesn't ever feel as bad after a Bombers win
-
It's going to be a dog fight in the west this season. Just have to take care of business when we play and everything will take care of itself. If we beat a scrappy Montreal team we going into labour day sitting pretty at 7-2 I like our chances at 8-3 or 9-2 after the home and home against the Riders.
-
His play calling is average but his schemes and " X's and 0's" are probably the best in the league if not right near the top.
-
If it worked Lapo would have looked like a genius. I don't necessarily agree with it but we had a few games last season where the gadget play worked and we praised Lapo for it.

3 stars plus HH broken esks streak edition
Arnold_Palmer replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
What about the man getting these guys the ball? 80 percent passing the ball, 4th straight game with no turnovers, and 10 yards shy of 400 yards, not to mention a modest 27 yards on the ground. -
Elite game manager. Nothing to see here
-
Haha! I mean as funny as it is I don't think we need to snoop to his level. Let the play do the talking. I'm ok with every other team under estimating Nichols.. Just going to make it that much sweeter when we pull out the W
-
Statement game for the blue and gold. One win out of first. How sweet it is.
-
I actually don't see Edmonton winning anymore then 12 games which hey is a nice season but I don't see them as the team to beat in the CFL right now. That's still Calgary in my opinion
-
Edmonton has played Calgary or us yet I wouldn't call them elite just yet. They're a good football team. Are they as good as there 7-0 record indicates? Probably not but give them credit for pulling through in crunch time. Reilly and Nichols are very similar in that manner. Both QB's are one and two respectfully in fourth quarter comebacks this season. I think this game will go down to the wire again. Hopefully we can put a ***** in the armor. If we win we're only one game out of first and up 1-0 on the season series. How crazy is that.
