They are both receivers... I believe Moore spent time with Oakland and Pettis with Cleveland... If my memory serves correct...

I don't mean to pile on here... but he picked Toronto and BC too... sorry @mbrg

The Bomber would have had a home playoff game in 2009 if they won game 18.... completely different scenarios... I love the riders current futility as much as the next guy... but Labour Day always makes me nervous... I've said it before, as bad a the Riders have looked this year... I'm not convinced we win LDC until the scoreboard says 0:00 with the bombers leading...

silly trade suggestions aside... the intriguing part of this conversation is what is Durant's value now?... Is he still a top 5 starter in the league? Or is he better suited as a reliable veteran back-up? ... I think if we had an up-and-coming young QB who looks like a future starter, Durant would be a great insurance policy... If Durant wants out of Sask after this year, he could conceivable try to win a starting job somewhere like Mtl or Tor... or here?

this is actually a great point... there are many fans that have been around since the dark days... but so many, probably the very vocal ones have really only jumped on the bandwagon in the past 10 years and have only experienced success... The thing about Chris Jones... we all know he's a great coach... he's had success and I believe he's won a Grey Cup in every stop he's been in, Mtl DC, Cgy DC, Tor DC and Edm HC... but maybe, just maybe... he's bitten off a little more than he can chew here...

I am really curious to see how Burris reacts to this demotion... I suspect he'll stay under the radar for a while... but he can only be silent for so long...

well at 29-1, I gotta know... who took Montreal?

Randle is back in the starting lineup the instant he's healthy... there should never be a debate about that... who comes out? Obviously Frederick or Roberts... I'll leave that decision up to the coaching staff

yes I should have clarified that those 12 turnovers I was referring to were in the last 2 games... the pick by Frederick in the Edmonton game was huge...

I meant the 12 turnovers in the 2 most recent wins (against Tor and Ham)... For example in the weather delay game, we had a pick and a turnover on downs, both with less than 5 mins to go, that had no effect on the game... I clearly stated we needed 6 to win the game in Hamilton... we only had 2 turnovers in the Edmonton game...

I agree with you... I'm happy if it's a win at 0:00.... but I would argue there's a big difference between our first win in Hamilton and the last 3... that first Ham game, we needed 6 turnovers to win... the last three wins have been more complete team games... I would suggest 3 or 4 of those 12 turnovers we got would be considered garbage time stats anyways...

there'd probably be a signing bonus in there too

I was certainly interested in Bulcke when he was a free agent a few years ago... unfortunately Sleepy Joe wasn't interested in free agents... not so sure about today...

See here's the thing though.. unless I'm reading this wrong... you're essentially saying I don't care if we "almost won" when we lost but I do care if we "almost lost" when we won.... maybe "almost lost" isn't the right saying but you're clearly making excuses for the teams we beat... that's where I see the inconsistency...

this is a little surprising... sounds like he was just too unreliable b/c of injuries... seems like an odd reason to cut a good rotational, Canadian DT...

well actually, he can say whatever he wants... he's just not immune to consequences...

I think this is the main point (at least this is what I think the argument is)... you've said in the past a win is a win and a loss is a loss and you don't care how they happened... but that is not how you actually react... when we lose you say we lost, who cares if it was close.... but now that we've got some wins you say "yeah well we played their back up QBs and the defense had a more than sustainable amount of turnovers and the opponent made so many mistakes, etc, etc"... Ultimately it is inconsistency in your posts that is likely what irks people... not a need to only discuss the good vs discuss only the bad... I have yet to see one poster on this site claim THE TURN AROUND IS COMPLETE AND WE ARE NOW GREY CUP FAVOURITES!!... but you want to paint any cautious optimism with that brush because it helps to further your point... The wins vs Tor, Hamilton and Edmonton were not perfect... but they were the best Bombers football we've seen since early 2011... so if that's not reason for some optimism... I don't know what is! PS - I'm not sure that post I quoted was the best one to make this point... but you understand what I'm saying...

It actually does in court... especially if you have a good lawyer

That's not true... they signed Capicotti, Shawn Lemon, Curtis Steele, Shawmad Chambers... those guys are all working out great... right? you sound confident

I guess they threw him in just for the Hecht of it... I'll show myself out....

It's a pretty safe bet that most CFL fans outside of Winnipeg have absolutely no idea what kind of Canadian depth we have....

After the Hamilton game I looked at the schedule and saw Tor, Mtl, Sask, Sask... I thought it would be really great to go 3-1 in that stretch... I was accounting for one loss in the most obvious game... I won't be confident we win that game until the score board says 0:00 Wpg: lots Sask: not very much

In his very first article with the WFC he wrote saying that was one of the conditions of this job.... he wanted to autonomy to write how he wants to write... a decent read if you can track it down...

kudos to Dunk, Edwards, Darrell Davis, John Hodge, and the rest of the crew at 3DN... they were all over this story and reported it accurately and responsibly... Pederson should spend more time on that site... he could learn a thing or two about journalism from mostly bloggers...

I don't know... his shoes look pretty comfortable to me........... SMH I'm such a loser
