No one ought to revel in another team's player being injured, much less a potentially career-ending injury. When an injury that severe happens, it also impacts the player's person life with chronic, depressing pain.

With Durant hors de combat for the rest of the year, Chamblin will probably get a mulligan for 2015.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned already but the Freep today reported that the Bombers' D gave up almost 500 yards. Ouch-can't let that happen again or we're hooped.

This is a "suck it up" year for the Argos and we are going to have to put up with it just like when the Ti-Cats were essentially homeless.

As a mark of Durant's committment to "his" team, I believe someone posted a picture of him leaving the stadium well before the end of the game.

I'm betting that Durant is done, and Reilly must be pretty close to that as well. And one more owie for Lulay and he becomes a statistic.

As satisfying as this win was, I suspect that the D-line and linebackers will be the subject of much discussion this week among the coaches and Walters. We need more push up the middle and better contain from the linebackers. I don't know if we can hang all the problems on Hurl if the Sask O-line were getting off the line cleanly and burying the linebackers.

The score is all that matters, and better yet, we came out pretty much unscathed. Let all and sundry complain- we got what we wanted.

Time waits for no man, and Durant, Ray and Burris are rapidly slipping into the rear-view mirror. The future belongs to the young, and the Willy's, and the Harrises. Clubs who do not accept that are, well, Montreal.

My guess is that at least one of the current stable of QB's has underwhelmed the coaches and is vulnerable to being cut/traded.

Running backs about the same? Last year we relied on a guy who couldn't do any of the basics well and our offense was basically one dimensional, leading to our quarterback getting killed because teams didn't have to respect the run at all. This is a huge difference coming into this season. We had no boundary wideout last season and relied on Aaron Kelly and Romby Bryant for stretches last season. Maybe you don't like Darvin Adams, but the receivers are better. Moving Watson out doesn't have much impact because he basically became a glorified tight end who could barely move around the field. Feoli-Gudino is probably better at this point. The caveat is that we haven't seen any of these newcomers in action yet. Last year, we thought that Moore, Kelly and Grigsby would really spark the offense, so I looked at how the team measured up now VS this point last season.

I am not as hopeful coming out of training camp as I was going into it. Most of the players I thought would impress are either gone or on the PR, and some of the weaknesses we had last year are still there or still question marks. Quarterbacks- same as last year Running backs- about the same Receivers- about the same O-line- vastly improved D-line- marginally better Linebackers- a big question mark and a real concern considering Sask's willingnes to run and run effectively D-backs- about the same Special Teams- about the same Coaching- damned well ought to be better All this said, we still should be able to beat the Riders today, and I can't imagine how devastating a lop-sided loss would be to team confidence.

Where can I purchase some of this Cato Check with Britt Reid.

Wow! The Alouettes are in big trouble and many here predicted that they would go into a tailspin as soon as Calvillo pulled the plug. When Calvillo signed in Montreal he'd already had his baptism of fire with other teams and Popp got very, very lucky. There was no succession plan here so Popp deserves what he gets. This train was coming for years and Popp did not get out of the way. Don't think Mr. Popp is going to be sleeping well for awhile.

Say what? Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

The worst complaint of them all. Actually, for Regina this is a good thing. The closer that you get to the city limits, the better.

Why do you feel that the coaches don't like JFG? My impression is that O'Shea loves him and I believe JFG is slated to start this week. 'Cause he so rarely gets on the field despite producing when he does.

Well, there goes his strength.

That'll make the interview much more entertaining! I nominate you for the interview (10 beer minimum prior though). Last time I got interviewed in Regina it didn't go so well.. I've heard that the guys with the rubber gloves are surprisingly gentle .Next time, ask for the oldest ones- sometimes their hands are a little shaky.

I do wonder what the coaches do not like in JFG's game. He does seem to produce on the field.

It would be a lot more entertaining if the games were Edmonton-Montreal and Ottawa-Toronto. Much closer that way, I think.

They've got just as much depth as most other teams. If you're comparing them to the Alouettes, Ticats or Stampeders, yeah they're worse and they got a worse ranking. But if you compare them to the teams below them, including BC and Winnipeg, I think it's a fair ranking. Unless you think the Bombers have fantastic depth all of a sudden But I'm not quite ready to believe that.... I think the Bombers absolutely have more depth in terms of guys that are actual CFL level players. Inexperience is a factor. Beyond their starters the Riders don't have much, and many of their starters have lost entire seasons or nearly entire seasons to injuries already in their careers. Come on! We're looking at starting Hurl, JFG, and Bucknor, now which one of those guys would start on any other team? And our depth is totally raw. Goossen, Briggs, Waggonner, D. Jones, Sherman, Bastien. These guys are "actual CFL level players" and the Riders don't have that? The Riders have their own group of players like that. Watman, Demski, Haidara, MacDougall, Vonk, Steinhauer. Equal depth and better starters means a higher grade. Everyone who thinks the Riders are going to take a dive this season are going to be pretty disappointed. Ummmm....weren't Haidara and Vonk cut by the Riders?

Are you sure that was a football? anything else he would be gripping would be way bigger than a football Where's Jacquie? Maybe she has too much class to comment on the direction the content of this thread has taken

Are you sure that was a football?

Plus be subjected to merciless tormenting.
