Nic Moore. Time for him to strut his stuff.

Couldn't we have traded our Ford in for a Jade ornament?

Doudie is usually afflicted with verbosity, but this time he was nothing short of hilarious.

Hell I would take out Denmark and roll with 3 Canadian receivers. We are already using Kohlert and JFG well enough, the question is can Watson be a bigger impact than Denmark and I say yes he can. Watson has the heart, toughness and the talent, but is just too brittle for this game. JFG appears to have all of Watson's assets, plus a bit of extra size, greater durability and, most importantly, awesome hair.

We really missed Leggett far more than I thought we would, and Greaves would be welcome, but I'm not sure if he would have fared any better against Montreal.

I suspect we will see the same kind of game against Edmonton as was played against Montreal. Edmonton will blitz, blitz, blitz but does not have the running threat. Our O-line has to be a lot better but our D-line should have an easier time of it. The game is likely to go right down to the wire.

I cannot recall a week where there have been so many flags thrown. Some were marginal calls but most were deserved, and it looks like nobody had a training camp. The two good, close games (Wpg-Montreal and BC-Sask) were exciting to watch but the penalty call delays really detracted.

Willy's toughness won the game, but I can't help thinking that we were very fortunate to have won, and won in such a dramatic fashion. We made more than enough mistakes to lose, but Montreal couldn't take advantage of them. Against Edmonton, whom we have a good chance of beating, we cannot count on being as lucky. The two teams look to be so evenly matched that mistakes will likely decide the game.

Finished watching the BC-Sask game. Glenn was far and away the most efficient of the two QBs and it looked like Benevides and Khari hatched a game plan to utilize Glenn's strengths- quick reads and short pitches. It was also clear that Harris's running was critical to BC's success and maybe Harris is on his way to both a career year and MOP Canuck. Sask's receiving corps looks pretty inadequate right now and their running game isn't so hot, either. Both teams look beatable.

With Kuale not covering himself in glory, and apparently blowing assignments, Kromah would seem to be a good substitute- he was an excellent tackler with a good nose for the ball when he was with Sask. Good on Walters for not staying status quo. I didn't like how Montreal was able to complete those flare passes with no one around Whitaker.

Nice crisp receiver patterns by BC. Glenn is looking far more comfortable and his team is responding with confidence. I had taped the TO/Calgary game and even with skipping the commercials and the droning between-plays commentary, I found Rod Black grating and had to mute the TV. Cuthbert and Suitor are soooo much better.

Rod Black was at the top of his game. Sad but true.

What does Marsh bring to the table that Smith does not? Could this be a misdirection by Popp and Co?

I don't think it's just you.... yes he's always been known as "Thick Nick" but this year he just looks plain fat and slow.... not sure he ever really got into "shape" after the injury... If you take into account their relative size, a guy like Dan Knapp is in significantly better shape than Nik Lewis Dan Knapp looks real athletic for an OL... I hope he has an supporter.......

I expect blood and guts all over the field in the first quarter, and then trench warfare for the rest of the game with the Bombers sidelining Smith soon after half-time. Whomever has the best running game will win. I think the short passing game will be critical because Smith will be expecting a carnivorous pass rush from every Bomber on the field.

En englais, sil vous plait.... Now I need to copy and paste your post and email it to my gf so she can translate it for me.... that's a lot of work for me Or, you could C&P the text into Google Translate- rough but understandable.

I usually listen to OB's post-game show. Bob Irving has to be the best sportscaster since Don Wittman.

Looks decent on the highlights- pretty much a drop back passer who runs every now and again. At least he probably has heard of Winnipeg and the CFL. Looks to have a darned good arm.

Plugging Howard into the line may turn out to be a good thing if he is good. Montreal's D-line is as good as any in the league and I would bet the game plan for Montreal will be to blitz at almost every opportunity to rattle a rookie starting quarterback. Funny enough, the Bombers may be considering the same tactic, or they may lay back a bit and let Smith try to puzzle out Etch's defense. If Smith is as slow on his reads as he has been for the past couple of games, a good four-man rush ought to get to him often.

Goossen shows every sign of being at the least a good pick, possibly a great pick- we will know in a year or two.

Good foot speed, able to extend plays with his legs, ad-libs well on the run, very nice touch on his passes, but I don't know if he has the arm strength for the CFL field.

Tough choices to choose between…I'll have to get my dart board out, consult the latest Dart Game on TSN, then make the necessary 3/4 arm toss for the deciding vote. Bullseye…I'll watch Golf. I would rather watch competitive knitting.

Well, then the Ticat fans in attendance would be roughly equal to the number of Americans watching the game.

Howard would need the reps, even if they are planning to start Swistun against Montreal. Swistun probably knows the timing and calls, but Howard needs to ready in case Swistun comes into contact with a particularly sharp piece of bread.

Is this like getting spanked but with a foot fetish? If so, it is unseemly to brag.
