Fatty Liver

Looks like the pressure to win has just been cranked up again. A loss with Brohm was expected a loss with Willy is unaccepted.

Absolutely. Other than this past season, it was at it's best since the Will Ferrell years. Digital shorts were some of the best work SNL has ever had. This song about the US gov't shutdown was fantastic... The humour in that video escapes me.

Can't put my finger on it but this reminds me of a mouse running on a wheel.

Name one team that switched out their running back for something other than an injury or a problem with ball security. Sask., Edmonton, Toronto, B.C., Calgary, Montreal, Hamilton have all used more than one RB's during games to mix things up. Bombers are the only team that has relied on a single back so as to not confuse their opponents with trickery. Why are you defending the Bombers approach to running? The stats. speak. We've used Paris Cotton, Troy Stoudermire, Carl Volny and MP Pontbriand out of the backfield at certain times this season. I'm defending their approach because the impression you have is wrong. Mike, you're serving some exceptionally weak sauce today. Between the lot I doubt they have 20 carries in total, hardly an exploration of the possibilities that exist even within the current team personnel. Bolton probably got tired of waiting around for a shot and when Cotton joined him on the P.R. he packed his bag and left. Will McGuffie be the next to give up without a shot or will he whither on the PR until Marcel takes a fancy to him.

That's the reason their feeding Pencer, Goosen and Hinse to be able to come in as backups when injury calls. You still think Pencer is here? What team do you follow? Sorry, meant Swiston. They're frickin' interchangeable in my mind as neither has contributed squat.

A 300+ lb. D.E. can inflict a serious amount of pain in an instant as happened when Durant met Mr. Turner. If he's not healed sufficiently Willy won't have a chance to get sore, it's more likely he'll get broken.

Funny, Walters admits that there is a problem with getting the running game up to par but the Bombers have done little with personnel to address that issue. Most other CFL teams have been switching RB's in and out and experimenting with different combinations while the Bombers stand pat with Grigsby as the lone back and the worst team rushing stats. in the league.

You mean Howard is a healthy scratch? Can't understand keeping Knapp around taking up a roster spot if both Jones, Howard and now Tyler are ahead of him. What's the plan? Might as well cut him loose and bring in an Intl. player in a different position of need as the Bombers have a glut of Intl. O-linemen.

yeah I just hate when players show that battle level, much rather have a team full of *******. Please provide an example of QB with a high "battle level" were the story ended well.

Seriously the Bombers need to take this decision out of the hands of Willy and put in the hands of the club doctors. I already know O'Shea is going to say that it's up to Willy to decide but that isn't in the best interest of the football club. Unlike BC or Calgary having their number one QB out for a season is not an issue the Bombers are remotely prepared to deal with. Willy is an asset that needs to be managed for the long-term benefit.

I'm hoping if and when the Bombers are eliminated from playoff competition they really give each of the 3 backups a good amount of game play to see how they fare. Going into next season blindly with the existing question marks at backup QB is not desirable and they have to realize it improves the team immensely if the backup QB can step in and actually continue on with the program rather than just being a place holder for Willy. Very few QB's make it through an entire season unscathed but top teams manage to stay competitive if they have a QB in the wings with real game experience. I like how Hamilton used Lefevour last year in every game for a few sets just to get his feet wet even though Burris could have played every down. It paid dividends this year when Collaros was injured for a few games and Lefevour took over and did reasonably well. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

I remember Eugene Goodlow (spelling?) as a standout receiver that Brock threw to in the early 80's. If I remember correctly he broke his neck in a game against Calgary, and it was the last game he played for Winnipeg as he went to the NFL in the off-season. Goodlow became the first player in CFL history to reach 100 receptions in a season during the 1981 season.

He did, but he kept breaking, Willy just doesn't break. He gets hurt, but he stays in the line up. Willy might be tough....but he breaks just like a little girl. Yes, he does. You remind me of a Rider fan. Sorry. That is the enigma that is Bob Dylan. Here's another Bob quote. He used to be greeeen but now he's unseeeen and noooobody knows why he's bluuuuuue. I've got more.

Who is Tyler?

Didn't care much for that Dieter fellow. Ralph was a better player I.M.H.O.

When a QB can put up 300+ yards in losing efforts in his first year as a starter, it makes you wonder what he'll accomplish once he gets the knack for winning. Once the building blocks are put in place to provide him with better protection I foresee an airshow that will entertain Bomber fans for many years to come. I'm having flash backs of Ralph Brock already.

You forgot Neufeld, remember him??? He occasionally plays a game now and than but make no mistake he is going to be a cornerstone of the Bomber all Canadian O-line well into the future. In 2013 Kyle Walters went down to the cross-roads and made a deal with the green-horned devil to ensure it. (This is not criticism just apathy mixed with disgust which is often mistaken for criticism).

That's not something that you'd ever see Dave Ritchie or Cal Murphy discussing.

Anyone know how the replacements (Pall, Booker?) fared in the game against BC? As I never heard or caught sight of them during the broadcast I assume they were relatively mediocre.

Well if he isn't there today we will need to come up with another excuse from the " where is American player and why didn't he report for duty with his CFL team as expected" handbook.We have already used Visa problems. Which is pretty funny considering he had already been in Canada with the Argos. I have to admit "we let him go on a pre- planned family vacation" was a new one to me. So this week options include... a) sick family member NFL interest C) **** him we didn't need him anyway. Maybe "Where's Thaddeus this week?" this could replace the Lock of The Week as a game for MBB posters? Love the sound of that, it would make a great game day sign. Also much better than "Where's Waldo?".

Bowman dropped 4 catchable balls in this game, 2 that could have gone for TD's.

Either way that could be why Wally is giving up on him.
