because they are community based and there is nothing to envy about the Eskimos

I wouldn't mind seeing Hamilton winning on the "worst to first" theme. On te other hand if the Riders win the cup, it will be two years in a row that the host city also won the thing .... a major statistical anomaly relative to history

As much as the Riders are our most traditional rival, I have to give them my begrudging respect. How exactly did they end up with the best O-line in the league and we the worst? Why were they able to develop a decent starting QB and we couldn't? How come each year they have a realistic chance of getting to the Grey Cup and for us its nearly always a distant hope? We are both community owned teams so I tend to compare our club with theirs. Is the difference our board of detractors er I mean directors and their board? What else could it be besides senior management?

I hear his company Pinnacle is having all kinds of profitability issues for a number of years .... nonetheless I love Wade Miller at the controls

I see Khari as a Pinball Clemons type of leader ... and I believe we need that smiling positivity more than anything

... one Buchko and Burke is at least two, no? We aren't paying Buchko. And as of right now, we're not paying Burke to sit on his ass either. How do you know we are not paying Buchko?

Now can he fire Burke?

Lets look at Hufnagel's perspective on his QBs re th Ottawa draft: If he does not trade a QB then he keeps either Glenn or Tate and either one is good enough as # 2 and an alternative as BLM goes through growing pains … he also gets to keep 2 more highly rated extra NIs If Huffer trades 1 QB for a draft pick, then Ottawa takes the other QB and BLM has nothing to back him up So why would he trade a QB? If the Bombers want a Calgary QB the price might higher than we expect It may be our only way to acquire a QB may be through FA

fits in with offer to Walby old boys club right?

Pretty sure Ottawa will take Kevin Glenn in the expansion draft.Glenn is a FA ... why would they?Glenn is NOT a free agent. Ron Burgundy says NO!!!I think Burris and Glenn are good interim qbs for them. Ottawa will have much qb depth no matter what way they go then the Blue has had in the last many years. How can we find out for sure about whose contracts are about to expire? For whatever reason it's not made public. We just find out through various news articles, etc. So Burgundy has the goods then?

So there is no need to dump a QB to the Blue because Ottawa isn't going to select any QB IN THE EXPANSION DRAFT ... NOT EVEN TATE HAVING TATE ISN'T WORTH THE SALARY CAP ROOM HE TAKES UP AND / OR A 3RD ROUND DRAFT PICK?

Willy and Demarco are free agents, Burris is a free agent and I would imagine Hamilton will use that to protect Dan LF, Bo Levi will be protected by Calgary and I'm pretty sure Nichols is also a FA I can't ever remember so many QBs all FA at once …. doesn't give Ottawa much to pick from especially if we trade for Tate

Nichols is likely not even on Ottawa's radar. Willy is a free agent and Levi (as in Bo Levi?) and LeFevour will be protected. Well if Willy is a Free agent, then the pre-draft choices to trade for probably come down to Tate or Nichols I would use a 3rd rounder for either one If Ottawa is not interested in either of those two, then they take their cheque book to the Feb 15 FA scramble like the rest of us Anybody know how to check who is scheduled to become a FA?

Ottawa has said they won't pick Fa's but they might do one like Collloras or Muamba just for negotiating rights till Feb 15 .... so who are not FA's? I am guessing the non-FA number two QBs available are: Nichols Montreal's other two (besides Smith who they will protect I believe) Marsh or Neiswander Hamilton's scat back QB LeFevour Willie Either Tate or Levi DeMarco So who is worth trading for and with how big a draft pick?

Will Kyle Walters get fleeced when he tries to trade for a QB before the expansion draft in December? He has made 3 trades so far: 1. Wall & our 2nd pick for Neufeld & a 2015 pick 2. Pierce for Foster 3. Woodson for Parenteau How did he do with these 3? Is he a skilled negotiator or was he just making some noise at Wade Miller's behest? Would he trade our #2 overall pick (Ottawa has the #1) for BLM, Tate or Willie or someone else?

Burke never gave a Garrett a chance, not really

Did you see Garrett run in the game against Edmonton …. their offensive star of the game in my books The naysayers who said the achilles injury finished him …. well I hope they run away and hide knowing they have been schooled Not getting Garrett back on the field is another example of Burke's inability to recognize and assess talent … or perhaps his prejudiced attitude does his thinking for him … Garrett could have given the Bombers a bit of a chance this year at a time when it might have mattered … well maybe Now what is this I hear about Burke's negatives on Sims-Walker?

Burke's grumpy comments show him for who he is

Yes unless of course he re-signs

Its not a choice or a popularity contest, its a singular opportunity to get one of the best NI's in the league …. the point is to wake up

It seems like the injury from last night will keep Hall out of next game but that's a guess ,,, has anybody heard about his medical status?

We all know how we lost Labatte... Parallel that Harris grew up a Winnipeger.... best, he has a girlfriend and a child here in River City anfd he lives here in the off season Harris is a FA Feb 15 and he won't be resigning in BC He is mad as hell at the BC OC .... seems he insists on using a zone blocking scheme which is totally unsuitable for their type of o-linemen ... its why Harris' production is down so much this year Now I am sure Andrew would like to test the NFL waters - - he is big enough and the fastest player on the BC club - - but how often does a Canadian RB make the NFL? Maybe he catches on as a punt/kick returner If the Bomber brain trust is alert enough and willing to pay up, maybe we see Andrew Harris as a BB come July or September
