BigBlue

Power is in the mind & that's where MOS has us

Just a walk through tomorrow ... what lineup changes are we expecting for the game Thursday

" And why bring in all these quarterbacks? because..." is this the real reason for the QB parade?

What's with this parade of QB's ... what is management thinking .... I would rather see a parade of something else

What is this statement based on?

I saw a certain amount of wisdom in DI-ing Cotton last week ....let him prove /redeem himself after fumble-it is .... in that way he can build his confidence & momentum

What position does he play ... where did we draft him.... signed Clueless

I am looking back to my June 24 post ... accurate enough forecast to please myself except for Edmonton where I was completely wrong ... quality of Management says it all

yes Hall was coming along

Where is Adrian McPherson ?

I don't take delight either but fans in other cities were sure laughing at us. Like Hamilton. Then the comments that their stadium is nicer than ours?? As it turned out, we didn't have a tenth of the issues Hamilton has had getting the thing built. We just had to wait another year & played at our old barn. While disappointing, it was a good fall back plan. Too bad Garth Buchko had us play the first 4 games of the year on the road & just didn't move everything back into Canad Inns from the start of the season. Going 0-4 on the road killed our season. I think Buchko was the only person who couldn't tell the stadium was a year behind schedule & would never be ready that season. C'mon Iso, not everything is Buchko's fault. Buchko hadn't even started his job with the Bombers when the schedule came out. The request to start on the road would have been made long before he was hired. There is plenty of blame to dump on him without adding stuff that had nothing to do with him. The above statement is the closest thing to "naïve-ity" I have seen in a while ... some blind faith/loyalty from somewhere

That holding call on Harris 75 TD run was bogus ... discretionary at best ... I hate when the zebras control outcomes instead of just being even handed

I call him "Angry Austin Bird"

How about a Jan-Greaves-Morley-Goossen-Neufeld line?

So Neufeld was injured last night ... how did Goosen do?

I'd agree with this. The system they put in place allowing a crossover team in the first place, addressed the biggest issue we had in the CFL…where the teams with poor records in one division, made the playoffs over team with better records. It works better now in a league with 2 divisions, and the only way to improve that is to have one division…and I'm not sure that's going to happen any time soon. When there is a crossover, just let the team with the best record host the 1st playoff game (while the division leaders takes their bye) ... fixes a lot of stuff with one tiny change doesn't it?

I saw Goosen in there but I don't know when he went in or why ... missed TSN comment on that if there was one ... tell me more please

I must say that from inside the (red zone) 5 yard line I would much rather see us throw the ball into the end zone than see us try to run it in ... our success rate has not been high enough doing that I also feel that at the stage the Blue are at right now ... on 1st & 10 we need some short passing plays (flat passes, look-ins & quick outs) to set up the run ... it just seems like on first down we are to predictable with our running plays and the opposition knows it MB is doing OK but I think he needs to mix it up more and quit trying to overpower their D-line with our O-line Grisby was effective tonight because we were going outside the tackle-box with short passes and some outside runs ... that opened up the middle a little and then we had some tiny success there .... that's what you call multi-dimensional When our offense shut down in the second half, it was as if we got too conservative (and predictable) ... short buck then throwing on 2nd & 8 .... over and over and ... MOS has handed MB quite a team ... lets go further forward eh!

There is something goofy going on during games which I believe is tied to the chat room, and it isn't tied to the number of people hitting the website. We should have no problems keeping up with any kind of traffic this site would get. I've noticed it during both away games now so it isn't a coincidence. (not home during home games so I'm not monitoring it). I logged a ticket with our hosting company during the last game, they didn't get to it until after the game was over, but they did say that the logs indicated that the server was running out of memory and constantly rebooting. They tried changing a few optimizations and have a few other ideas to try if it doesn't get fixed. People already in the chat room aren't affected as the chat room is hosted off site. We didn't see this last year as we were on a different hosting company and setup at the time. So, if you have problems with the site tonight during the game, please have patience, I'll be monitoring it and trying to get it fixed. If you want in the chat room, best to get in a little early before the game. If we are experiencing difficulties again, be patient and keep trying, the server will reboot and you will be able to get in before it runs out of memory and goes down again So the site went down again during the game. It looks like the load of people hitting the home page is just too great and causing server restarts. We are going to be looking at doing an upgrade to see if we can fix this. Should be minimal down time, if any. Good news that the site is getting this busy! Better add some resources to the Chat Room ... too hard to get in & stay in .... would be nice to access the complete game chat history as well

I thought we had lost tonight's games because of special teams mistakes: !. holding /blocking penalties on returns .... especially away from the play 2. Return for a touchdown against us ... #41b (I think) looked lackadaisical 3. Ian Wild snapping the ball over our punters head What gives? I thought special teams was the extraordinary part oif O'Shea's game ... how many years as a special teams coach .... this seems like such an enigma !!! I am absolutely thrilled, amazed and happy with tonight's photo-finish win ... and Drew Willy's special leadership .. but can we do something to save me from this type of heart attack?

Is he really our only other option at American receiver? He looked terrible last week not so terrible as a newbie and QB unfamiliar with each other's tendencies

I'm a little surprised Donovan Kemp hasn't been given a shot yet... No worries there still a lot of games left to be played, we're just in our 6th. Let the vets worked their butts off and help this team get wins in the early going. That will buy these PR guys enough time to learn the CFL and the team's schemes. Continuity is very important to O'shea and so far it's doing us good. They will get their chances sooner or later. How does bringing in Romby Bryant after three games, starting him at WR and then moving him to SB for game 6 fall under 'continuity'? as if the initial depth chart listing means much ... the receivers are bundled according to ball position and the play call ... they know where each receiver will set up against the expected defensive scheme .... we are playing with not against an Etch style on both sides of the ball ..... this isn't British redcoats positioning in regimen formation but more like guerilla warfare ... sheesh

This is a really nice thread Mike ... good insight on your part .... I am looking forward to Fitzgerald starting to shine .... I expect he could become an important slotback for us ... not a speedy Gonzales but owning the middle of the field when there is lots of traffic there

MOS says no regrets about Will Ford .... says he was too injured to prove himself in camp

Said Moore looks doubtful ... so I am guessing hello Kelly Greaves is not a sure thing for Thursday
