  1. By using the internet I can time the broadcast from OB perfectly with the TSN video .... doesn't work with the radio or MTS' stream of 680 but the net can be synced
  2. It seems the NFL has a better handle on protecting their QBs than the CFL does .... see that as I watch the rushing linemen in their games ... looks so different than our league
  3. he is still signed through 2018 is he not?
  4. The Wettenhalls ... are we getting the old man or one of the heirs running the Alouette show? The Los Angeles Lakers became a different team (in a very bad way) when the siblings took over the team - - huge different in judgment and management skill
  5. Jennings for a bit Lulay perhaps permanently Glenn for a bit Harris for quite a bit Tate for a bit Earlier, Ray for a bit That is 6 starting caliber QBs in a 9 team league Plus Durant and Collaros have contracted leprosy That adds up to some kind of Egyptian disease no doubt contracted in part through undisciplined wild zebras I say cage up those zebras and see if some kind of disciplined herding can take place before the plague gets worse
  6. 3) Saskatchewan Roughriders- power ranked 3rd ..... really!
  7. I hope we bring Khalil Bass back to Winnipeg .... yes he may be somewhat self possessed but he is taking a great lesson in humility this year ... if he comes he will play his heart out for us and may be accepted by teammates as part of the "gang" .... adds depth, will do fine on special teams and knows our system well .... if we get him here in the next day or two can even get a run down on the Ottawa playbook .... but having been released I doubt MOS will let him back into the fold but you never know .... forgiveness and second chances still exist here and there
  8. I wonder how we are going to juggle our international defensive lineman .... would like to see both Johnson & Nevis dressed
  9. The cause of the current Quarterback Plague: In the first half of the season, the starting quarterbacks around the league seem to be sailing through the schedule without injury. Now in the last 2 weeks there has been a rash of injuries to the starters and the injury bug is even showing up with a couple of the backups. Is this just luck and coincidence, perhaps the inevitable? Or is there a deeper cause for the problem? The game just is not as competitive or enjoyable when teams are using the 2nd and 3rd stringers at quarterback. Now I understand it is rare for any quarterback to go injury free all season as Henry Burris did not long ago/ 18 regular-season games, 2 exhibition games, and potentially 3 playoff games is a lot of games to stay upright without so much as the smallest nick. The referees to me seem more lax than earlier in the season, allowing certain head shots and also fairly late hits after the pass is thrown. Not a lot different, just a little more relaxed than earlier. I am not sure if that is part of the problem... Or even whether my perception is correct. What can the league do to better protect starting quarterbacks? Can the teams (or the quarterbacks themselves) do more or do better in keeping their quarterbacks healthy? Would rule changes help, and if so, what would they be?
  10. My recollection is Lankford has us closer to the 40 then the 30 most often
  11. Dunnigan as a colour man is great and as a bonus he covered our Blue for our victory .... want more of that
  12. After our second bye week we play the softest part of our schedule: Ottawa Friday the 22nd Edmonton Saturday the 30th (there) Hamilton Friday Oct 6 this is where we can build confidence and momentum Edmonton will play Toronto, Winnipeg & Montreal BC will play Calgary, Hamilton & Ottawa Calgary has BC, Regina, Montreal & Hamilton That all looks quite balanced,no real schedule quarks So in the near term we are going to make our own destiny that will set the stage for the end of thes season when we finish with BC, Toronto, BC again and Calgary for the last I am excited going into the bye ..... relaxation comes later
  13. glad to hear it .... nice to see coach make sensible changes based on performance ... Lulay has to prove his toughness .... he is the better QB imho
  14. It depends if Jennings can leave his showboating gambler personna and get back to disciplined passing
  15. Apparently a certain Pederson source from Regina said the the Blue are going to start the game with great emotional intensity ..... he says if the Riders can hold the Bombers in check for just the first quarter, they will have weathered that storm and will take over control of that game How thoughtful, how deliberate , how determined do you think the Bombers will be in the BowL? Joe Cool wants to know ....
  16. is he in or out?
  17. Is it possible poop sits because he has a shitty attitude? I don't buy that kind of crap
  18. Sad thing is I bet there is close to zero interest in them
  19. on 1290 Mos said Rpc left on a family matter .... didn't know when or if he would be back Earlier many noted 29 Walker is practicing.... but its unclear whether he is ready Starting LB Knox's status/health unclear ... a possibly for Saturday .... I would much rather see him replaced by poop johnson than santos knox .... sounds like the decision to pull poop was bird brained imho ... but you know how every player has a designated backup and some coaches can't conceive of changing that chain of thinking: "here's your chance" is the way it goes .... i hate the way productive poop was benched for some big contract big reputation DE .... rather see knox replaced by a cdn lb if it meant poop could be back our decisions define us
  20. Ever felt like you were in a Monty Python movie and you were waving your arms madly at the passersby to get their attention .... only you had no arms: that is sometimes how it feels to be a Bomber fan - 'C'mon make that trade.... sign that free agent ... don't stand there, do something!' Play Poop Johnson, prefer Thorpe to Lankford, bring in a better LB/Db .... do something about Hurl and especially Ritchie Hall It can be a helpless feeling to be just standing here frantically not waving our arms .... but whats a fan to do with this type of management who is enjoying the status quo as Miller & Walters & Mos sit there sipping their tea Wave harder
  21. "I should have streamed CJOB instead." I can only sync if i use the net for cjob.com .... using the radio or mts.tv doesn't line up for me
  22. Regina got two big plays in a row in Q1 in the LDC .... and we didn't really recover .... let ourselves get overwhelmed in their momentum ... it ain't gonna happen like that again .... but we have to change .... rinse and repeat won't do .... and it won't be good enough to just show up: So what has to change to turn the tide?
  23. I haven't posted in 3 days .... didn't make anything better
  24. any juicy rumors from today's "closed" practice?
  25. wow!
