In Darrin Bauming's defense... we was nice enough to change the spelling of his first name to distinguish a little bit... And I'm glad we finally added Player... sure he's no all-star (yet)... but a decent Canadian O-line option should never be unsigned that long... and I believe he was actually born in a first nations community outside of Winnipeg (sorry, I can't recall which one)... not Winnipeg, as someone else stated...

yeah, I think he spent a year in Stoney for murdering the Riders defense...

Seems like it could be a good trade for both sides... Sask adds depth at QB and O-line (two spots they are desperate for)... and Tor improves their pass rush...

You constantly calling Mike O'Shea autistic is not only offensive, but just plain ignorant... that's fine if you want to make up stupid nicknames for player/coaches you don't like... but to label someone with a serious mental condition... I would hope even you're better than that...

Actually that's not even true... we could have had Ted Laurent instead of Poblah... hindsight is a powerful tool... some people use it to try make themselves seem smart*... *disclaimer: shot not directed at you

WE'RE NOT LAST!!! WE'RE NOT LAST!!! WE'RE NOT LAST!!! #SmallVictories

so unbelievable that's it's actually not correct (not that the reality is much better)... I was curious so I quickly looked into it (regular season only)... These teams scored 30 or more in their last game: Hamilton (week 1), Ottawa (week 1), Edmonton (week 1), Sask (week 20 last year) Here's the rest: Toronto, Oct 6 (6 games)... Calgary, Oct 31 (2 games)... BC, Oct 23 (3 games)... Montreal Oct 23 (3 games)... Then there's the Bombers... opening day 2015, 30-25 win over the riders (18 GAMES!!) ...aaaaaand after all of that I realized you said 30+... meaning 31 or more.... in which case the stat is actually correct... and all my numbers above may not be correct but I don't feel like going back and checking... either way, the current longest streak of scoring under 30 is the bombers at 18 games and second is Toronto at 6 games

Fair enough.... I know that sacks aren't the only measure of o-line play... nor is a sack always the o-line's fault... I was just making the point that other teams seem to be doing a much better job scraping together an o-line/protection plan than we ever seem to come up with...

See that's what bugs me about our O-line problems... Mtl started an all Canadian O-line, with (essentially) a rookie at LT and they dominated our D-line... gave up zero sacks... Last year Calgary lost two starters in a game and I believe at one point had 2 D-linemen playing on the O-line in an emergency situation and they still managed to hold their own... You can't tell me that Montreal's o-line last week and Calgary's last year (during injuries) was better personnel-wise then ours currently is... player-to-player, we stack up to them... but for whatever reason we give up sacks like their candy on halloween and can't get any push on short yardage... is it the curse of Westwood or something (oh sorry, that theory is for the crazy thoughts thread)... I don't know what it is... I was hoping (and still am) that this coaching staff knows what it is...

That's what I guessed based on Burris' stats... thanks

For those of us who missed it... was Burris replaced b/c of injury or poor play?

I'm gonna have nighmares for weeks after watching this!!... and to top it all off he listens to really shitty music too...

Completely agree with you... he seems like a great team leader and an all around good person (based on my minimal interactions with him)... unfortunately (for him) there's more talent around now and we can't keep a roster spot for a guy just b/c he's a good teammate...

A lot of your post was well on point... some of it a little crazy ... I don't want to respond to everything you said, I just want to clarify that Willy had 303 passing yards... the team had 411 total yards of offense... Otherwise, good post...

you're right, the defense wasn't great... but to claim that those amazing plays by Randle (assist from the DL that hit KG on that INT) to force turnovers was "lucky" is ridiculous...

you're right... something stinks around these parts and I have no idea what it is... why don't things just work out for once... there's a lot of negativity in this thread... and unfortunately a lot of it is warranted... I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Drew but you can definitely add me to the concerned/skeptical crowd... I hope to be wrong but this team has proven that feeling to be correct far too many times...

no tie... but I believe his shirt was blue... Game over, It's Laine... Thread Over

I would gladly take PK on the Jets any day...

I saw Chevy with his family at the elephant & castle on sunday before Garth Brooks... I should've asked him...

I got mine... it is quite beautiful but I agree the fit is a little weird... the body fits comfortably but the arms quite baggy (I generally wear med shirts but I push the limits of a med sometimes )... but it's fine, I think a L would have been too big all around... I just won't be able to wear this one to cold games cuz not many layers will fit under it...

This is great news... to pick up a good DB coach last minute, especially after losing one last minute, is good for the coaching staff...

That's the correct one...

Didn't O'Shea declare him as a game-time decision anyways?

I know this post was like 2 weeks ago, but I'm just catching up with the hockey thread... I wanted to post it again b/c this so perfectly summarizes how I've been feeling for a long time now... the NHL is expanding when it should be contracting... though 21 might be a little low... I would think a 24-26 team league would be perfect, with 8 Canadian teams... make the first round 5 games or even give byes and make the first round best of 3... ending the season in early may would be perfect...
