Hate to follow the crowd.... but hard to imagine Messam doesn't score against Hammy... Jerome Messam (or James, like someone mentioned)

For the record, I meant that as a legitimate question... I think they're pretty good too... just wondering if that's the kind of starting 7 he prefers?... I like ours better, but I'm not saying Mtl's is bad...

This one be one of the oddest comments you've had in a while... which says a lot... First off, Walker is not Canadian... secondly, you missed Westerman... third you missed a heavy dose of Jake Thomas (which is a good thing)... fourth, Chungh, Goossen, Westerman, Loffler, and Harris are all above average, if not excellent, players... do we need to be fielding 7 CFL all-star Canadians for you to be satisfied with our Canadian content?? Would you prefer if we had Phil Blake, Luc B-J, Kris Matte, George Johnson, Shologan, Jabar Westerman, and Chirs Akie?.... Seriously, would you consider that a better starting 7?

If you're trying to suggest that the team completely ignores mistakes and does not make adjustments to improve.... that's complete bullshit...

This got me thinking about rugby... for comparison sake, I wonder how many former or current pro rugby players are suffering from major brain injuries like we see in football... maybe it's a big deal but we don't hear much about it in NA...

Nick Moore??

While I certainly recognize that CTE is real and brain damage is prominent in all major contact sports... the stat about 90% (for example) of examined brains having CTE is extremely skewed... the only brains they are examining are ones that are volunteered by athletes who had post career issues and are basically expecting to find something... the former players who go on to live normal lives with no symptoms are not the ones offering up their brains post-mortem... actually, I wrote all this up before reading the article, and they basically say the same thing in the article: "McKee cautions that the study has some limitations and doesn’t attempt to pinpoint a CTE rate. The brains studied were mostly donated by concerned families, which means they weren’t random and not necessarily representative of all men who have played football."

even bigger news.... Hugh O'Neill is still in then CFL?? and the ironic part is how woefully bad we were at kicker for so many years before Medlock (save for Lirim's rookie season)...

first round of the 2016 draft... He's Canadian... and they are desperately thin at NI... chances this means anything in the long run.... around 0% can't replace a Canadian with an American unless you place to change the ratio elsewhere...

Re: the coaching staff... I'm still on board with Mike... I think he has the smarts and the balls to be a HC, and the players will always play for him... not so sure about the coordinators though...

Impossible to not give Mike Miller a ton of credit on that play... I can't imagine trying to corral a bouncing football in a pressure-packed situation like that... agreed... I think I've said this after every single game this season... IMO having both Flanders and Harris in the line up would do wonders for our offense...

hahaha.... thanks! that is what I meant

this is exactly the way I feel... like we gave this one away... it was actually nearly identical to the sask game: slow start followed by a period of dominance, then falling apart in the 4th the give the game away... except sask is not good enough to take a game when it's given to them... BC is

It was first down right?... If it was 3rd, I would understand some serious sour grapes... if anything BC fans should be happy they gave it to us on 1st rather than taking 3 tries... that gave them the time needed to make the come back

Man, what a cheap shot that was from our safety... then Reinbold has the gull to say he has no idea why Rita was mad (sure he went a little over the top)... I wonder why Reinbold never made it far as a head coach?

Actually the Reinbold era was right around the time I was old enough to start following and understanding football (11-12ish years old)... the Bombers should thank their lucky stars my parents were Bomber fans... otherwise I'm not sure they would've kept me as a fan after that disastrous era...

I do remember that one too... but I'm pretty sure the guy running on the field was a playoff game... and we all know the Bombers were no where near the playoffs in the Reinbold era!

don't mean to nitpick too much... but Bond is currently our LG, while Chungh is the RG... otherwise, nice breakdown Also your safety, Stephens?... Is that supposed to be Courtney Stephen? If so, he is Canadian...

Chungh rag-dolled a D-lineman on that very same play too... those 3 guys in the middle really bring the nasty... and I love it!

exactly and like I stated originally... since I am only at one strike, it isn't worth the risk of falling down to 3 strikes in one week...

This is awesome... are these shirts new?.... Nice work, Lions marketing speaking of a hammering... was that the game when a fan ran on the field and got beat down but a bunch of Lions players??

Fair enough... but I would say those people are incorrect

Impossible!! If his first game is bad... he's bad forever!

I hate to quote myself... but it seems apropos here...

First of all, who speaks badly of Khari??... and I believe the talk of Kevin Glenn would be a lot different had he played in the 07 Grey Cup...
