  1. That population wouldn't be in T.O. would it.....shocking....A lot of wannabe's there...
  2. Simply put ..there's just too many disparities between the leagues and it's rules....A bridge too far
  3. I agree with Clint........There's no way we proceed UNLESS that league changes it's format to 3 down...Americans are always saying how much more exciting the CFL is and it's because of our rules...Field size is another concern...they have to get bigger...There's so much change that would have to happen and basically it would have to amount to CFL 2 down there, because I don't see it working any other way....It won't work any other way in this country...BIG bridges to cross....but interesting nonetheless
  4. that's because they think they're the centre of the universe....that's why I love it when we kick their arse...GO JETS ...show me that the Mont. game was just an anomaly
  5. weak excuse....I understand that we are defensively challenged ( not in net) could be an excuse but NOBODY showed up last night
  6. What a brutal performance....Why did we bother showing up?? Play like that against T.O. and we might as well mail them the points....I haven't seen a more pitiful effort delivered by this club for a very long time...I just hope it's a one off....this club is better than that....Coaches being given the pink slips for that kind of play...Maurice doesn't want to find himself on that list
  7. CFL is going to miss the big guy and his larger than life attitude ...Condolences to the family
  8. I wish someone could come up with a clip on Leggs, that shows him pounding field goals through from 50 yds. with no problem...This kid is real good and if we're going with him I hope he can transition to the CFL game easily....The TiCats are still fuming over the fact we grabbed him in the draft.....tough for them....that's the way the old ball rolls
  9. Difference maker....YUP.....This kid Dubois is a talent
  10. Could be a real difference maker IF he can go.....go Jets
  11. It depends largely on the delivery of the various vaccine's ....Each province has it' own delivery mechanism ...and you're right Noeller....will they carry it out expeditiously or flounder around wasting time ...It has to be done right....don't get me wrong...but timing of the delivery of these shots mean lives...that's paramount...Getting us 'some' certainty out of this, with our up coming CFL season, wouldn't hurt either.....
  12. Fans in the stands for sure....but how many would make it work....Do we have to sell out or can we exist like some American teams with a smattering of fans scattered through a venue obeying the covid protocol??? Some good news today from Pfizzer, where they are stating that their vaccine doesn't have to be stored at minus 70 degrees rather more like 40 degrees....Why that matters is that it will allow for quicker disbursement of the shots because companies like Drug stores etc. can keep it in their refrigeration and issue vaccines accordingly....Big time saver which means more people will have access to being immunized quicker...In the end that could result in fans being ready to attend games sooner than expected...The hitch is will we get enough vaccine to pull it off??
  13. The guy is flat out fast.....starts out really quick...turns it on and then has that extra gear leaving the opposition in the dust....We called Roberts blink....night have to call this guy blurr...At 192 he's no light weight either....most likely can take the heavy hitting and keep on ticking....Like what I see ....and hope to hell we get this season going so we can get a look at this guy
  14. Beyond all of the rumours, I've still yet to hear what A back-up plan or B some official variation of the season would look like IF we can't stick with a regular season....Expecting fans to be in 'suspended anticipation' with no official facts is grating...................Hello league office....is there anyone out there??
  15. you're right ....my mistake....he was in the lineup for 2 games ....He's on this road trip but won't play against the Oilers tonight....Maurice figures it might be just day to day with the 'mechanism' problem...I hope he gets back soon....we need him
  16. by not responding the league is opening itself up for speculation that 'maybe ' the rumour has credibility....Just quash the bloody thing if there's no fact to it....Banks and now a few other players are picking up on it and it's not looking like this thing is going to go away...We don't need Ambroise to dispell it...get a league representative to address it....If that's too much bloody trouble then someone isn't doing their job
  17. I don't know if the rumour about scrapping 21' and re-upping again in 22' has any legs but obviously it must be circulating around the league....One way to end the rumour is for the league and in particular the commish to come out and call it bull$hit, before this thing has any credibility....The silence on this from the league is deafening
  18. A lot of players have down time...and a lot longer than 3 wks. and get right back at it....I'm not pushing the panic button....yet ..We haven't seen him yet in a game and maybe a lot of fans are getting frustrated....First the quarantine and now this....We could sure use the guy BUT maybe you're right and no need to worry... It could all be just bad timing...We'll see
  19. Dubois now out for an 'indeterminate' time...according to Maurice....I'm starting to wonder about his trade...Did we trade for damaged goods....😒
  20. I think most of the guys on here agree there's a lot to know....Keeping fans in the dark during this precarious time is not on....Planning for a fans involvement is never a bad thing... When you're aware of what is developing with regard to the season it keeps fans involved and informed...Changes and back-up plans would meet that criteria
  21. Whatever the plan's are (if in fact there are any) the fans should be advised of them....I know a lot depends on how these vaccinations go BUT for cripes sake list some of them (if there are any)...We saw a little bit of the 'no plan' scenario when we went to the feds. for cash with no bloody plan, and how that worked out...The least the league could do would be to keep the fans apprised about what is going on behind the scenes....We should at least expect that.....
  22. Ah yes...there sure have been some bombs coaching this club ....and horrendous GM's BUT I always reflected back to the Bud Grant years to get the bad taste out of my mouth...We were something else and one helluva feared club... For example ,can't remember the name of the player, but in a game in saskabush he was quoted as saying in the dressing room before the game, 'how much do we want to beat these yokels by tonight'...We were that good ...a little arrogant,yes but you had to be damn good to be that way...We were spoiled in those days of Ploen and Lewis and guys like Herb Gray and the Cup years just kept on rollin' in.....THEN, when Bud left for the Vikes, it all went bad...I'm old enough to remember those great old days and for you young guys I wished you could experience some of that feeling of that era...One thing I did notice and got a great kick out of was our 2019 Cup win and that parade with Streve and the guys just having fun... Now picture that celebration ,in an era when we put together that type of atmosphere , a bunch of years in a row, and you'll get the feeling that we had back then...I hope we can do it again
  23. Don't like the prognostication about the season....Nobody is getting any younger around here....especially some guys on the club....Trying to paint this as anything but devastating and whistling by the graveyard is fool hearty...I can't see us surviving another year without some form of Cfl played...I hope the report has been blown out of proportion...but by the sounds of it there's going to be a few worried looks around the league and a big WTF
  24. Guess you don't know the foolproof trick when you have young uns'....It's called vaseline....smeared all over the doorknobs of the bedroom
  25. Worst.....yeah you could say that BUT with a tremendous past ....We have appeared in more Grey Cups than any other CFL club and stand third in overall Cup wins......I think the great history of the Bombers kept everyone around, with the thought greatness will return....Sure was a long time in coming tough...but hey we're back....just ask Rod Pederson...lol
