And Saskatchewan narrowly avoids embarrassment.

Barely.

I wonder, after watching the BC-Montreal game, O'Shea still thinks that the running game is irrelevant?

So, are you saying the Als had a little Divine Intervention on their behalf helping out today? How else could you explain this debacle? Snow is just another form of water, and I definitely saw Crompton walking on top of it so......

Anyone else notice that Crompton looks like he could audition for the role of Jesus in Godspell?

I would take Khari over all other candidates for offensive coordinator or whatever they are called now. I can see Khari becoming a head coach in a couple of years.

If we get our two wayward NI draft picks who are pining away down south to come home, everything changes

And I LIKE him that way. We need to sign him, biffy requirements and all.

Has anyone ever heard a coach say, "Our offense has been on the field too long. We have to find a way to get them some rest."?

But then the team would have to build a biffy in the Assiniboine forest off Grant.

One of the reasons that Crompton is looking so good is that BC has not harassed him at all, and that will make any middling QB look like and all-star. Glenn and Partridge are getting no help from their receivers whatsoever.

Wow. This game has gone south in a hurry. Not only has the BC offense been toothless, the defence has completely caved. Reminds of the Bombers in the last half of the season- Crompton has been very good though and I never thought he was anything more than a mediocre backup.

Benevides may be fired before the end of the game if this pathetic effort continues.

A good read, and gives an insight into two very good players who are here for the love of the game rather than the big paycheque.

As much as it pains me to say this, I think Joseph just might beat the Esks and I expect that Glenn will lead the Lions to victory. I have sympathy for Glenn who is a good but not great QB but has had little luck or respect, so I'm kinda pulling for him. Besides, BC overall has the better team. As far as Sask winning, we are going to see if God have has a sense of humour (or irony).

An interesting thread. If the Bombers are going to draft Demski, who looks like a one in a generation player, and go with three NI receivers, then who would the import receiver be? Denmark or ? The NI receivers we have are at least adequate with decent depth, and Demski could turn out to be another Kito Poblah. There are a lot of "sure things" who have turned out to be complete busts or just average, so maybe if we draft Demski, he might be very good trade bait for a premier O-lineman who is already established as a dominant starter. Who that might be I do not know.

Because Ottawa jumped the gun and axes someone asap? Come on Iso, you're better then this.. Hey SPuDs, I guess I want to see some changes & not the status quo. I really do believe changing the coordinators needs to be done. I'm actually concerned it will be status quo coordinators wise going into training camp. What's your thoughts? My thoughts are that this happens every year. Every time another team makes a move, you use it as an opportunity to complain that the Bombers are not. How about we just discuss the move Ottawa made instead of using it to take potshots at our management? Okay. Where's the fun in that?

Lawless have once again demonstrated his wisdom by pointing out the obvious as well as the majority opinion on Etch. The real question is whether O'Shea will do the obviously right thing or show what has been a worrisome character trait by keeping on with what ain't working. It might be even worse if O'Shea ties the can to Etch but resents the heck out of everyone (fans and management) for forcing him to do it.

The Riders have gone from "were probably exaggerating" to "pathlogical liars". And no one is surprised.

Don't say stuff like that. Go wash your mouth out with Drano.

Nothing wrong with the Riders being humiliated in the Western semi-final.

There is no absolute way to determine how many wins a different defensive strategy would have won for us, but for me the most telling thing is how the other teams in the CFL solved Etch's defense after a few games. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I would bet that the points allowed in the second half of the season, yards and passes allowed would all be way higher as well. If memory serves, this is a repeating theme with Etch's defenses and his approach only worked well when he had an all-star defence.

Semantics.

We'd better be careful of our rhetoric here- Joseph just might win the day against the Esks. That would give no end of glee to the green faithful,and I wouldn't rule it out. Stranger things have happened in this league.

Dewitos Seriously, if you missed the Colbert piece on this, google it. That stuff ought to go right up there with Burger King's hamburger poutine, deep-fried twinkies and pork rinds with cheese.
