Fatty Liver

Haven't had a chance to re-watch the game and may not get to, how did you think Garbutt looked? In first watch he didn't make much of an impression. The Elks have some raw young DE's Kyle should keep an eye on for a trade. Would love to see some mid-season trades just to shake things up and put everyone on notice, change is coming to a football team near you.

Where's the Ferrari when you need it? Probably in the shop!

Until Rourke accepts he's not going to have an NFL career, he won't be playing anywhere soon. He might be able to string a few more contracts together but that's all he'll have to show for his football career, until he accepts playing in the CFL again. He might be able to pull off a Flutie and return to the NFL later in his career if he does very well in the CFL. It would be more logical for the Bombers to pursue interest in his brother, as he will also likely end up in the CFL.

It happened to Mike Reilly, didn't want to struggle with adversity any longer and threw in the towel earlier than he probably had to. One year after he was gone the Nathan Rourke thing happened and BC became contenders, so it wasn't hopeless circumstances that did him in, it was his will to struggle onwards.

Edsel, doomed from the start.

No surprise, last season Zach lost to Crum, Powell, Dolegala and would have lost to Tre Ford if Brown hadn't intervened.

Hard to say what they have in QB Wilson and we'll never find out if they keep him buried deep in a coal mine all season. Time for the scouts to do some leg work, can't just pick 1 or 2 QB's out of the bush every off-season and say "oh, I guess we're done". As badly as this season has gone so far, perhaps it's better they miss the playoffs and focus their efforts on roster renewal and replacement instead of desperately trying to squeeze in and getting annihilated in the first round by "YOUR SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS".

The only GM gullible enough to take on Zach's contract is Pinball, the highest form of disaster could fall upon that man and it wouldn't even phase him. Bonus, nobody in MLSE upper management would notice either.

Good time as any for Walters to flip Collaros back to Pinball in exchange for Arbuckle, freeing up plenty of capital to work with and convincing Pinball he's made a great trade which gives him the option to dump Kelly. Second part don't bother sending Arbuckle a plane ticket, when he inquires send the following response. FIOFO. Kyle

No it had to be the one were Wilson was running full out across the field and Zach threw the ball 2 feet behind him.....in the rain. Don't even think he touched the ball, but no matter "his fault!"

I think for a few years after he removed himself completely from the play calling on both offence and defence he became great at making and managing in game decisions. Notice with a season not going well there's a lot more stress present and emotions being displayed which is hampering his game management skills.

Being a brand new HC from the defensive side Mace may not have that great of a grasp on how to kill off the last few seconds of a game and can't be sure how much help OC Mueller would be. O'Shea was pretty poor with in game decisions those first few years as well and made plenty of mistakes learning the ropes.

Zach has never been a precise passer, he's more of an approximator, that's why he likes receivers that can adjust their routes to fit his passes.

That would require a rejuvenation, unfortunately what little progress they achieved towards that end took a major detour yesterday.

Because Strev. has shown no sign he can adapt or play a completely different style than he has with every rep. he's taken this year? A leopard can't change it's spots and I see no evidence Strev. can either.

Can't win games scoring 9 pts., O'Shea needs to point a gun at Buck and give him a freehand to come up with a solution to fix an underperforming QB and a sputtering offence. How he wants to manage his player personnel is up to him, but if Buck can't change the direction of this offence by year end, O'Shea needs to pull the trigger and bring in an OC with a better plan during the off-season.

Grouping Zach in with Biden now, you can never be sure exactly which version is going to show up.

You realize they are on a winning streak, right?

Nothing wrong with moving the ball and securing first downs, controlling the clock and grinding down their D on a hot summer day. Throwing bombs all day is a low percentage strategy that may lead to a plethora of turnovers, turn the ball over enough to the Rider D is precisely how they could lose this game.

Lucky is being investigated for growing a vegetable garden with no defined purpose. It may not be a crime but it is a bit strange.

Anyone see MCI get injured? The injury will surely remain undisclosed, the Bombers seem to slip these guys onto the 6 game in the middle of the night when nobody's watching.

Strevy.

Some people get really pissed off when O'Shea chooses his favourites over their favourites.

Zach scored 41 last week against a stronger Stamp team IMO, I sense he's just getting warmed up and they're about to lay a serious butt kicking on their country cousins. Won't be surprised if they bust 40 again.
