  1. Nevermind the BC game, how about those 2 rider games we should have won. or the Hamilton game we lost later in the year. Those 2 rider games are the difference between 7-11 and 9-9 which is a playoff spot. the hamilton game is the difference between finishing 3rd or 4th.
  2. That was one hell of a catch by SJ Green there.
  3. Kilgore was actually the argos 3rd string QB tonight vs the ORBs.
  4. I think I'd like to see Wheeler, he seems to be money in the shoot-out, Scheif and a guy like Perreault would be interesting to see too.
  5. Yeah, watched it for sure then the channel messed up so i changed for a bit, went back and glad i did. What a game really. That TD throw by Demski to Yantz was beautiful.
  6. Probably cuz when Huff played, sites like this didn't exist so people couldn't come on the internet and ***** all the time.
  7. I don't know about that. Something different about Pavelec this year, his positioning and rebound control is much better, that's what has hurt him in the past. If he can keep it up, for some reason, I think he will shut some people up this season. The other thing, I'd like to see Hutch play more than our backups have the last few years, what might hurt pav is he consistently plays lots and lots of games, not sure it's a good thing. Think what drains him is he plays too much and has played too much the last few years cuz obviously they had no confidence in their backups the last couple years. Hopefully Hutch plays about 20 25 games this season, if he does, Pav shouldn't be over worked.
  8. All these guys get paid lots of money, none of them are worth it, not one. That's why i think the amount of money they make shouldn't be a factor. I just find that lots of fans don't really appreciate little that much, but all he does is put up points every year he's been here. Little is almost a PPG player. He's our top scorer right now. most points.
  9. Yeah gotta agree with the post above, Greaves for sure. When he was injured our oline really struggled to replace him. Tells me he's more valuable than some seem to realize. Also have to agree about the snaps getting worse, I dunno maybe it was just me and apparently another person but... Did tend to notice that Morleys snaps really weren't all that sharp at all, Nope Atomic is right, none ever flew over Willys head but i do recall several every game that fluttered back there, at times, it seemed like a guy was in DW's face the second the snap arrived tho. Watching some of the other centers around the league, Have to admit when they snapped the ball back to their QB, those snaps had some mustard on them. Coming in almost spiral like for the most part, with Morley, thought they were more like watching Max Hall pass, wounded ducks.
  10. Not much respect for Trevor Harris it seems, who has looked very good every time he has stepped on to the field, Argos will win this one vs the Redblacks, Harris is no slouch. Highly doubt Campbell would be fired if the ORBs lose, doubt it for sure. If he is tho and I'm the Bombers, I'd strongly consider him for our DC position.
  11. Toughest To Bring Down: Jon Cornish*, RB, Calgary (41%) Biggest Threat To Score: Chad Owens*, WR/KR, Toronto (44%) Most Clutch Performer: Ricky Ray*, QB, Toronto (32%) Most Underrated: Kevin Glenn, QB, BC (10%) Most Accurate Passer: Ricky Ray, QB*, Toronto (71%) Fastest Player: Brandon Banks, WR/KR, Hamilton (31%) Toughest Player: Mike Reilly*, QB, Edmonton (21%) Nastiest Player: Shea Emry, LB, Toronto (24%) Best Trash-Talker: Simoni Lawrence, LB, Hamilton (14%) Hardest Hitter: Soloman Elimimian, LB, BC (32%) Best Hands: S.J. Green*, SB, Montreal (22%) *Repeat winner Montreal Alouettes’ Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) was the winner of this year’s bonus question, earning the title of the CFL’s Best Tweeter with 24% of the votes. Glenn as most under-rated is somewhat surprising, also SJ Green, who i thought hasn't had a very strong season with the ALS might be the other shocker.
  12. You know who was pretty absent during the game last night besides in the shoot-out? Crosby, That is partially on the Little line who were seemingly matched up against Crosbys line all game. Little is a very under-rated player and every game he plays, he's always doing something positive. He doesn't always score but last night he was the guy who set up the opening goal of the game and he also helped shut the Crosby line down too. Little does all the well Little things game in game out. Littles stat line vs the Pens.. 0 goals 1 assist, +1. just about 23 minutes of ice time, 1 shot on goal (little lower for him than normal) 50% face-off percentage. That matched up against the Crosby line. Not too bad at all really.
  13. Kane played well all game, the entire team did, i would have been fine with anyone they put out there as long as it wasn't thorburn or enstrom, who i'm assuming would pass the puck on a shoot-out instead of shooting. Is Wheeler the real captain of this team? I know he doesn't wear the C but... the little things he does out there, definitely see him as a possible future captain. Ladd played well all game too, The entire team did. They lost in a shoot-out to the best team in the league and Honestly, the best team in the league got a bit lucky that they even made it to OT as the Jets had several chances to end it with about 2 minutes or less left in the game. Pens got the puck left with about 20 seconds, enough time for a rush but instead of rushing up ice to try to score, were content on taking it to OT. Jets pushed the pens to the limit tonight.
  14. I didn't think January had that great of a year but... if there is one part of football which i really don't feel comfortable about with my knowledge, it would definitely be the OLINE. Think Unless we actually know what's supposed to happen and all this stuff as it pertains to the OLINE, then really we as fans have absolutely very little clue, you are gonna have people here tho who claim to know it all when it comes to everything, Be the first to admit tho that when it comes to OLINE, i'm not sure . Think it's really easy to say January didn't look good but maybe he didn't look good cuz of things other guys were doing or not doing. It's hard to say. Perhaps his back is injured cuz he was the guy actually carrying the oline for the most part?
  15. Best game of the year by far possibly in the entire NHL. Don't matter that they lost in a shoot-out, they stood tall with the PENS all game long. I was watching with my girlfriend and I'm like I hope they end it in OT because if it goes to the shoot-out they will lose, She's like why? I'm like Crosby Malkin, It's not fair really... and it wasn't. Pens really didn't deserve the extra point tonight but they got it. Jets at times were jobbed by the refs, not saying the calls the refs made were suspect but i guess the calls they didn't make were a bit head scratching at times. Regardless tho, great game. Jets showed up and played very very well against the best team in the league right now. Hell of a game, seemed like a play-off style game. Bomber fan has knowledge of the NHL and the Jets but i do have to admit that his post seems a little fueled by ??? emotion? or perhaps a few too many adult beverages.
  16. That Als D is the reason for their turn around, the offense is still kind of a joke actually.
  17. Phx will end up in Vegas or Seattle Eventually, The other city will get an expansion team. Florida will end up in quebec.
  18. I think some of the fans here need to be educated a bit more to understand that it takes time to build a winner. It doesn't happen over a short period of time. Walters used Calgary as an example, said when was the last time they made a big free agent splash? Not jock sanders is not considered a huge free agent splash. We got a few seasons to go to probably be in a position a team like Calgary is, There is no quick fix, Only thing fans can really do is be patient cuz I feel that the fans impatience is part of the reason why we are what we are right now. Fans are too emotional at times it seems, Don't really understand how bad we were last year and how depleted our Canadian Talent really is, It's gonna take time to build that depth. Walters even said it today, said people may not want to hear it but drafting olineman is a long process. It takes time. There are no quick fixes. People can point to free agency but.. fact is, there are lots of factors that goes in to free agency too, You can offer the player all you want but if he wants to go somewhere else, it's really irrelevant what you offer him. Are the bombers in that spot after one season where free agents will want to sign here instead of going elsewhere for the same money?
  19. I'm starting to think in the past that the MLCC was just an excuse for them not to allow pre-gaming and all this stuff. MLCC seems to be a bit more relaxed these last few years. One would assume MLCC signed off on this. Not sure why they'd have to exactly tho. I don't really get the point, Why would MLCC be against "beer snakes". The same people who were drinking this year are gonna be the same people who are drinking next year too, not sure why MLCC would actually matter here. Are beer snakes illegal? Is it illegal to stack your cups? Cuz i mean, If they sold dixie cups of water, i could hypothetically create a "dixie cup water snake".
  20. Sounds like injuries and ratio were a factor and when sears did play, O'shea said he was one of their best players out there. I'm not sure it was O'sheas decision anyway, Think it was more due to ratio and Etch. If ETCH is gone, i think it's likely Sears is back and starting for us.
  21. Look around the league, lots of second pairing D man are paid like first pair guys. Salary shouldn't matter one bit. THe cap is just gonna keep rising and in a couple years, Bogos cap hit will probably look pretty good actually. Just wait till you see what they have to pay Trouba.
  22. Probably because you can't get an objective remark out of him. I suggest you and the others questioning the way MOS handles the media and answers those questions listen to the Walters interview on 1290. We know how he handles the media, he doesn't throw anyone under the bus, that's not being objective that's just being a good HC. HUh, you are confusing cuz your post prior somewhat suggests that you are questioning the way he handles the media.
  23. a few years ago, you couldn't drink outside the stadium, now they have a zone set up for pre-gaming. MLCC has come a long way the last few years. MLCC makes money off all these beer sales too.
  24. Probably because you can't get an objective remark out of him. I suggest you and the others questioning the way MOS handles the media and answers those questions listen to the Walters interview on 1290.
  25. Really solid interview. Anyone questioning the way MOS handles the media during the season really needs to listen to this interview. Didn't really get any impressions either way about ETCH or MB for that matter, Probably find out soon enough tho as Walters ended it by basically saying that Him and MOS will now sit down and discuss the coaching and what they feel is best moving forward. Good Interview. Much better. The one on the main site? Not so good, very vanilla, this one? more in depth, still vanilla but... some of Walters responses definitely makes you go hmm.
