And the Argos get the Tennessee Titans. Which makes sense because they are a wannabe NFL team.

I love that line. I'm really beginning to like this guy.

And well he should if the reports of the offer were true. Wouldn't help his team much if Dressler ran off at the end of the current season. That's one way of looking at it. However, one could also say Desjardins not in a great position to insist anything. Sign Dressler for the rest of the season and work on getting him signed for the next year and beyond.

I heard that too. Bottom line = execution A coaches favorite line to explain why things aren't working as good as they could. Sometimes it's used to deflect attention away from the system being used.

Of course the argoblows do, fits nicely with their MO. Looks good on them.

Sort of, but he REALLY did not like the coaching staff we had last year for obvious reasons. That's why all the mentions of Hall to Toronto are funny. I'd think that would be the last place he'd go. IMO he signs in either Ottawa or Winnipeg. I was thinking Ottawa too as well as maybe another NFL team.

I don't mind it actually. I think it's a good "FU" to the fans in the city they are playing, and if they don't like it, they can put down some dough and come to the game to boo the Riders. I'm just glad that it's the Riders doing this, and not the Bombers, as it's pretty arrogant. The only thing is that this billboard strategy would probably back-fire in Toronto as the people of Toronto would say "Green is the new Double Blue? The Blue Jays are playing the Oakland A's this week?" I just have a hard time seeing where the payoff is for them.. yeah it's marketing for the other team, but are the Riders really so loaded they're going to do the marketing for other teams now? The cheapskate in me doesn't see the profit in that expense There is no payoff, that's not the intention. The intention is humour, playful banter. Whether it works is up to the individual. Apparently it didn't work you. No harm no foul. Myself, not that funny, better luck next time.

Boy am I tired of hearing that.

I dunno about that. Watching the torronno game would suggest it could be part of the issue. Comparing to players like Sherrit would suggest he makes up for it with talent.

This might be my favourite analogy on all of the internet. Analogy. Yeah, that's what it was, an analogy. Metaphor, no? Sigh...for sale...one chicken...health failing...price negotiable...pm me...

Especially Steele's run up the middle for a 19 yard touchdown, that was tough to watch from a defensive point of view.

You know I wondered that last night. Curious to know if he takes RB reps in practice.

Sorry if this was mentioned, but I saw THREE guys launch themselves at the running back consistently and not a one wrapped him up or even tried. Ridiculous. The lack of calls on game impacting holds from Toronto was infuriating. Our guys were holding do, no doubt - but they were called. In regards to the PI, I wish they would only overturn it IF it was absolutely so blatant the fact the ref missed it was astounding - which before this one was moreso the case (imho). Great point, thinking the same thing last night. Might think about going back to form tackling and not looking for the big hit . . .

That one didn't bother me as much as the non-calls on pretty blatant holds, quite frustrating.

Still could happen if Grisby falters throughout the game.

Unless of course you send pressure at him, then he's got nothing. If he has time then yeah Brink can actually play some qb but it's just so easy to defend against him. Blitz the crap out of him and he'll fail. I haven't really paid much attention to the Als this year? Is their OL any good? it doesn't really matter, just send more than they can block. Brink with that big wind up can't handle the heat. That's exactly what Brink's biggest achilles heel is, it drove me nuts when he played here.

Focus more of your energy on staying healthy long enough to have a chance to wear it JJr0.

So you'd have more confidence going into Labour Day if our run game was terrible tomorrow? I don't know how to know its 'fixed' when playing against lesser competition. Do you? I just think the Bombers will get a false sense of accomplishment/progress with the running game after this week. When in reality the problem isn't fixed. Game tape?

Their three fans weren'the available for the weekend.

Messam did that? I must have missed it. Let's see. 23 points. 7 from an interception returned for a touchdown. 7 from a fumble returned for a touchdown. 3 from a fumble recovered at the 20, minimal advancement, turned into a field goal. 3 from a field goal generated by the offence in the first half. Messam had 0 carries in the first half. 3 from a field goal generated by the offence in the second half. Okay, Messam contributed to the scoring of 3 points. The oddest thing in all of this is it's still a Messam vs Volny debate for some people even though not one single person has ever argued that Volny is a better running back. Volny has 0 carries this season. Just like I had said he would have. The Bombers aren't using him as a running back. Just like I previously said they would not. He remains a role player, just like he always has. His position is listed as RB. It would be more accurate if it just said "Player". You can't just look at it from how many points he helped contribute. I'm not arguing for or against wanting Messam, but he did help keep our offense off the field ergo less time for us to score points. He had a good second half, props to him, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not that upset about this, though it did royally suck to see that pick six. Close game, tons of momentum changes, fun yet anxious game to watch. I like O'Shea's calm yet focused nature on the sidelines. It's refreshing to see and he probably doesn't know it but it helps fans like me settle down when the game is tight. A thought I did have was it might have been useful to throw in Brohm for a series and settle down Willy. Not to punish him for his play but settle him down and get him back to his calm nature. Chick was a monster. Messam was a second half monster that has probably now provided other teams a strategy against our D. I assume we will tweak to prepare for that when we play Toronto.
