I stand by my assessment. The Bombers started Bond as a new O-lineman and we also had a new D-back, receiver and safety in the lineup. So that's four and I still see the need for a better MLB. Nichols may or may not be the QB we need (that's five) and we are not going to know that for a couple more games. Nichols did not look like an all-star, but he managed the game well and ought to get better with reps. Barring an injury to Nichols, he will probably start again next week and then have the bye week to fine-tune his game. Losing two/three starting receivers has to be a setback to the cohesion between QB and receiver, but we'd best enjoy the afterglow. Reality arrives next week and its gonna be a tougher game.

Maybe bring him in as an enhanced "director of player personnel" who would be well-paid but mostly behind the scenes. I would prefer Tom Higgins, though.

You are not alone in your faint hope. We something to hang onto even if its an anomaly that is not repeated. Edmonton is ripe for picking but our Achilles heel is our secondary and Reilly is the best long-bomb quarterback in the league.

I recall that the second player waiting for permission to play in the CFL was even more violent with his G/F than Hardy. Shivers had a habit of bringing in talented headcases and it looks like this regime is following suit.

As a comparison, I believe that the Riders have on their roster one player who was involved in violent incident with his partner and a second one in town who has the same record. It seems that the degree of forgiveness in criminal incidents is in direct proportion to their talents.

And do you know what Jesus' favourite gun is? .....................A nail gun.

With all the problems of our O-line, Nichols cannot be a sitting duck, and Harris ought to be a big part of the answer- swing passes, shovel passes, flares and so forth to keep the D-linemen, linebackers and d-backs from pinning their ears back and coming after Nichols all night. Nichols might even have to take off a couple of times early on.

I am not defending or promoting Tillman, but it may be of value to know that we all have no-so-comfortable impulses which we keep under control due in no small part to social inhibition. However, some substances, like alcohol, pot and others act as dis-inhibitors and wipe out all the "don'ts" in our heads non-selectively when we take them. I have a very staid friend who is a professional and cannot down even one shot of booze, because suddenly "we're all going to Vegas" and she's paying. My brother in law is a good guy but after about three drinks he becomes a misogynistic anal aperture and is mortified afterwards.

Fixed that for you.

So.... you're saying that the liquor stores are conspiring to keep the Bombers pathetic?

And "oval" is still considered a shape.

I see what you did there....

At this late date? Oh well, better late etc..

Screw all this- I want to hire the people who found Collaros, Gale and Harris.

I have an odd feeling that we have a chance against the Esks. Their secondary must still be suffering PTSD after that shelling last game so if we can get off to a good start and hem Reilly in, we ought to be able to keep it close. If we get blown out, we're probably looking at a 4 and 14 season.

This has gone way past the point of disaffected fans pissing and moaning, and if the team is not in crisis, it is darned close. O'Shea and probably Walters have reached the point of being unable to redeem themselves. The fans have begun to vote with their feet and should the Bombers get mangled in Edmonton (a likelihood) then the next home game will feel like a wake. If Miller and/or Walters haven't figured this out yet, then they are also part of the problem.

Slack was one of the fiercest competitors to ever take the field for the Bombers, but his knees just couldn't last. Slack could stare holes right through any receiver or lineman who blew his assignment.

Well, if you are looking for a statistical condemnation of the current coaching regime, here it is. A whole ocean of ineptness.

That is what the Illuminati would have you believe- the reptilian bastards.

Yup. And he's still here.

I would guess we are about 5-6 players away from competing for the playoffs: quarterback, two O-linemen, one defensive end, a middle linebacker, and two d-backs. Probably one, maybe two receivers as well.

We are several players away from making a run at the payoffs, and you can put lipstick on that oinker if you like.

The Als are talent-poor and even if they wanted Medlock, they probably couldn't fit him in under their cap. So, even if they could get creative with their finances, there isn't much on their roster to pick though.

You may wish to stock up on tissues. And keep sharp objects well out of reach.

The Feep today was pretty critical of Willy's attitude as well.
