Austin may want to burn the tapes of this game, along with the machines that would have played them and never speak of it again.

It was kosher. Desperation sometimes pays off.

Hammy must have been watching game film from last year's Bombers.

Wow. Two first downs in a row. The Cats are comin' back.

Right now- his arm must be getting tired.

Blame it on Rod Black.

Collaros has had happy feet since half-time and he looks like a third-stringer thrown in.

except we're not talking about what Banks did, we're talking about our GM giving up an asset and then paying a decent signing bonus to lock this guy up only for him to never play a snap for the team. That's just a poor move from a GM and there's no two ways about it. You pays yer money and ya takes yer chances. I'll give Walters a mulligan.

Giguere is the fourth or fifth option, his stats reflect that. Four catches today though. I'd deflect that question to Jordan Sisco. Same organization gave that look. Yes, but Sisco has been sidelined a lot with paper cuts and diaper rash, so he might have an excuse.

Speed. If all the NFL scouts were on it, that would explain a lot.

And the import O-linemen are getting beaten as regularly as the NI ones. Sad.

Giguere has caught what- two passes today. That ought to equal his production for all of last season. How the heck did he ever draw the attention of the NFL?

Kent Austin is going to blow a gasket at half-time. I hope he wasn't the one who chose Collaros, but the Hammy O-line is having the worst performance of the season so far. Yes, Sask's D-line is good, but jeez......

Didn't the Riders pick up Hugh Charles a few days ago?

This game was the worst I've seen Glenn look in at least two years, and I do have faith in the BC coaching staff that they will fine-tune the offense around Glenn. Lets revisit this conversation at the end of July.

This certainly wasn't Glenn at his best- a new team, a new coach and an O-line still not gelled, but he will get better. Reilly is going to get worn down with the pounding he is taking. He's tough but not unbreakable.

For those who felt Walters got the short end of the stick, all they have to do is look at Montreal, BC and probably even Hamilton's situation. We could have been a LOT worse off.

As much as possible, with all the off-season changes, this would seem to be the best strategy for the next while. If the team has found some sort of rhythm, go with it. If it ain't broke....

It's starting to look that whichever team gets their quarterback dismembered last wins. Both O-lines look pathetic, but Edmonton's is worse. I hope Reilly brought a spare body.

Too bad for Watson- good hands, good speed, good routes, linebacker mentality but maybe he should take up badminton.

I'm sorry but JJ did everything this organization asked him to do and never complained publicly, ever. I think there were huge 'attitude' problems last year... once the coach visibly quit on the team and the GM vanished. The description came from Wiecek, so take that for what its worth. Considering how little Poblah and Banks have contributed to their respective clubs, this looks like a lose-lose transaction.

There have been broad hints that both Brandon Stewart and Jovon Johnson had attitude problems last year which didn't help the team culture at all. Having gotten rid of those two problems, Walters and O'Shea were probably very loathe to bring another prima donna on board.

For those few who are detached enough from reality to believe that the team is going to play that well in every game from now on, Willy (along with the rest of the team) is going to have more than one crappy game this season. As much fun as it was to watch the last game, there are going to be games when we are going to get flashbacks to 2012 and 2013, so lets look for improvement and keep the past couple of years fresh in our memories for awhile.

And we didn't fold in the second half. A refreshing change and perhaps a sign of things to come. Last season the team collapsed so often there was talk of moving the team to the Philippines and renaming them "The Manila Folders".

FWIW: there is speculation that Lulay may be done. Matt Dunigan was saying that the chances of 100% recovery this late in the healing process are unlikely. If Lulay is done for, it would add even more to Wally's rep as a football genius that he went out and got Glenn before Lulay's situation became obvious and drove the price up.
