The Zipp

Mike Reilly has missed the playoffs two years in a row...he needs a team around him - granted he is good but he is just one piece and his $$ does impact the building of that team.

100% true - the attraction is just too great..but it may dissuade someone if they have other options. Someone will always take the job though.

Ed Hervey is the reason coaches will think twice about BC...

The said "suspected" and if I recall correctly once they even said "not confirmed"...

Streveler and McGuire as our 2 best QB's going into camp next season is a scary thought...see the RedBlacks this season and that is the path we would be on...

well done!!

Would be interesting. Might be what Reilly needs at this point in his career. He has missed the playoffs two years in a row (I know crappy teams and all) but maybe the high percentage ball control would keep him upright... really depends on who Lapo would bring as OV.

One team out of 32 has marginal success with a player similar to Strevler and that means the world is going to open up for him??...if teams want a receiver they will get one not a QB/receiver/running back... I will be shocked if he makes the roster on any NFL team...ever...

No doubt....but the flip side is when we send them home crying in their soup with the damn "big play chain" dragging sadly behind them we will hear the sadness in his voice...

truth...but not surprising if you have followed his career...he is a stubborn guy even when younger.

Better than Milt?? I don't know man - watch some Milt highlights and get back to me...Eugene was great, Jeff Boyd might have even been better....Terrance Edwards might have been better...

loved it....and hated it.... Cold slippery ball...can you imagine dropping it...we all know it has happened before. But yah enjoy the moment, I get it..

Sask knows that too...so did Calgary...so did Montreal...you see Vernon Adams in Khari's arms on the sidelines? They all know it - it's what makes football playoffs the most intense and enjoyable for us fans - there is no game 2...

As is the case with most fan level observations but if you put their respective career numbers into the on-line passer efficiency calculator the numbers come out very close but Zach is a bit ahead. This is over 86 games for Matt and 74 for Zach - so a sizeable number... MN - 94.52 ZC - 95.08 Very close - I will say that my observations is that Zach's throws are more accurate - like on the numbers, dropped in nicely - wheras Matt's are bit off, still catchable but not as sweet. As I said before -neither would be my first choice but they are wearing blue and gold so I will support them.

that's accurate....challenge is that one slap to the head and ZC is out 4 games minimum...now I know that other QB's can get injured as well but this is beyond that. I think in the end their skill sets are not far off - Zach wins for what you said above but it isn't a massive gap. I am firmly on team Masoli but not sure that is going to pan out. I suspect it will be Nichols in June for the Bombers again.

I am just waiting for Harris to throw a screen pass to Strevler out of the wildcat....gotta happen in the next two games.

Strev is no where near accurate enough to play in the NFL ...and in no way can his throwing or running even be compared to Lamar Jackson. Strev is a warrior but I don't think a full time starting job is even going to pan out for him in the CFL. Even with some more development I just don't see it - he will always be a scrambler cause he is so good at it but that is going to get him on a short path to the medical tent and the injured list...GM's know that. He will be a great backup / short yardage guy who can break the game open in a couple of plays but that is it.

And that is why football is the greatest sport...speed, power, agility, strength and mental speed - nothing like it, especially in person. It is incredible what these guys can do given the speed of the game and size of the players involved. seeing it live and close up is incredible.

What is the practice schedule for this week? Are they starting today?

The name of the other bomber forum is The Extra Point...

Used to enjoy him years and years ago...the movies about him were entertaining (some filmed in Manitoba) but it was time to end it a long time ago. he was just irrelevant IMO and not entertaining. i can remember rushing to get to the tv to see his segment...no I avoid it

Yah cause the Bombers are totally unstoppable. There are game plans for everything. I can bet dave d can list 10 things he thinks he could do better than yesterday...just how these guys brains work. Now they need to execute on them and adjust but he will have a list of adjustments he could have made and didn't- probably kept him up all night... I think sask has a better defence than Calgary does so they may have different skills that can focused to shut down the run.

I have zero clue on the model for the infrastructure...could be someone's teenager running it...the expert could be away who knows...it also isn't directly revenue generating so priority may be less than what we expect. I do agree that the handling of the "incident" could have been way better considering it has gone on for days...social media communication, flash pages, scroll bars on the main site...lots of options

They responded to one persons twitter inquiry but that was it...you are right no general tweet saying it is down...

Tough game and tough position to play...CFL and NFL felt it this season. Hopefully this season was an aberration but I am sure GM's will be focusing on quality backups too
