swiston and cotton i'm guessing.

CFL News @CFL_News Source tells me #Bombers have added troubled Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon to the neg list. #CFL via @SUNMitchell Interesting little note there. If this guy could get his stuff together, he could be pretty solid, doubt it ever happens, by that i mean i doubt he ever comes here but if he does and gets his stuff together, could be quite the interesting move.

popp just signed an extension this past off season so there goes that theory.

And you still think Chevy is doing a good job?? Wow. 3 years on the job and hasn't given us a team that is even close to the playoffs. Wonderful.. Don't worry, I already know the response. "It would have been impossible for Chevy to turn this team around in 3 years." What an absolute loser mentality. Anyways, you are totally missing the point. A couple free agents would make this team better. Its not about winning in the playoffs or not, it's simply about making the team better. What argument do you have against making the team better by signing a couple players? What about names those couple players.

If you truly feel we are one or 2 pieces and free agent pieces at that away from making the playoffs... I honestly don't know what to say.. I think you are kind of kidding yourself a bit there though. I guess, fact is... we aren't even close. Not sure why you think a team who couldn't make the playoffs in the weakest division in all of sports before (the southeast) has a chance or is one or 2 pieces away from making it in one of the toughest divisions in hockey now... I guess, why do you think a team who basically finishes .500 is one or 2 players away from winning in the play-offs?

it's a depth move, who is available out there right now? care to tell us? I'll give you a hint, It's nobody at all. Not a huge fan of this move but... it's just a depth move, another 2 way deal... not sure why every move needs to be a huge move, guess we have some (one??) guy on here who wants us to go the maple leafs or philly route and try to buy our way in to the playoffs only to miss it the year after.. is making the playoffs the goal? or is making the playoffs and having a chance to actually win in the playoffs the goal? Cuz man i'd feel sooo much better if we made the playoffs and got swept in 4 straight games. That would definitely mean a step in the right direction, getting embarrassed in the play-offs. Hope that happens soon so people seriously shut up.. but it won't and for the long term of the franchise, it's best that we miss the playoffs again, We aren't good enough to compete with the elite teams, that's gonna take some time, we aren't there... not sure why anyone honestly thought we would or even could be in 3 seasons.

he's here to coach kids. He aint playing with the bombers or coaching with the team. Seriously.

short week, only 2 practices, leave tomorrow... best to let these probably nagging injuries rest up rather than risking further worse damage. Just a foot injury now, probably back next week but if he played, it could get worse.

Give your head a shake man, yer playing too many video games. Nobody that plays professional football is a "pansy". Would you like to be steam rolled by a 300 lb. lineman? Doubt it. maybe a little too much but his last line seems to be the M.O. on Kevin Glenn... You hit the guy early and he turtles all game. <--- that seems to be the case.

Nick Moore out vs hamilton.

Working on a long term deal, can't sign it until after January 1st, both sides wanted to AVOID arbitration because arbitration can and does get ugly. Maybe he signs, maybe he doesn't, gut tells me though that he will sign a long term extension coming January 1st. Based on Chevys conference call and what Walsh has said, i think it's just a matter of time before he is signed long term. Chevy said 5 years is what they are both hoping for.

You look at the number 2 QB'S in the league as a whole and man there is not much there really.. Outside of Tate in Calgary.. It's a bunch of really "unproven guys" BC: Since Glenn is the starter, Beck aint anything special. Is there any guarantee Lulay is even back this season? Not a bad 1/2 if Lulay is healthy but... he's not... Edmonton: Reilly.. Nichols isn't that proven at all either, the only thing that is proven when Nichols plays is he gets hurt badly most times.. That's not a shot cuz i like the guy and hope to see him do well but... Not exactly proven Calgary.. Like i said outside of Calgary Sask: Durant is solid but behind him is unproven Tino Sunseri. Wpg: Brohm. Toronto has Harris, he's looked good in limited reps but... hasn't proven anything either Hamilton? Lefevour now and who? Masoli? Not much experience there Ottawa, behind burris you got demarco who did not look good in the pre-season at all, has experience last year with BC but... Ottawa aint BC. Montreal; Smith has less than a year in the league, Marsh too really.. Brink is their most experienced QB.

Not convinced about Cotton cuz all of you guys on here hype him way way too much, nothing to do with his 1 carry or his inability to catch kick returns vs Edmonton, just that generally when this many of you on a forum hype a guy, he doesn't last long. Really not convinced Grigsby is the problem, I'm not really sure what Cotton could do without much blocking either, All RB'S need some help, Grigsby hasn't got much the last couple weeks and I doubt it changes if Cotton plays. One would think if Cotton was that much better than Grigsby, he would be playing but he's not.. This dislike of Grigsby has been going on for some time with some of you on here, dating all the way back to when they signed him in the first place.

How bout sit Grigsby and Cotton, they both have played so far, roster bolton and see what he can do instead. Not convinced about Grigsby or Cotton

Why am i eliminated? i didn't play the last 2 weeks

Ford had a solid game, solid first half i should say, kind of slowed down in the second but good for Ford, good guy and glad he got a chance. I don't really think he is an every down back though and one good game doesn't change that, Don't think Grigsby is either, not so sure Cotton is either for that matter but... Good on GodsWill for having a good debut.

Agreed. Most those big gains by Reilly, he was pretty much stopped behind the line of scrimmage or really maybe he would have gained 2 or 3 yards instead of the 10-20 he did gain, Did a better job of tackling this past week although the earnest jackson catch and run was a little embarrassing. Did we really get killed by Edmonton even? I mean he see people on here calling it a blow out? was it though? Or was it just a bad game for us, Edmonton wasn't that great really, thought both teams played pretty bad actually, If we could have tackled Reilly, man that game would have been like 10-3 final. LOL Hamilton? not so worried, Contain Lefevour and we should win this one easily, didn't think Hamilton was as good as they were last year, don't think they are as bad as they have been this year but, gonna say this is probably not as close as some are expecting it to be. Really don't think Hamilton beating Ottawa means anything.

Should be special teams player of the week no? maybe top Canadian also, was quite the performance, on the 51 yarder, looked like he had 5 maybe 6 or 7 yards to spare too. Has quite the leg, doubt he's NFL bound, but... wouldn't shock me if we don't see Mike Renaud back.

Yes because of basically everything 17to85 just said.

Darrell Romuld (CTV) @CTVDarrell 20-year-old claims record $348,000 jackpot during 50/50 draw at Edmonton Eskimos game http://ow.ly/zALzf That's a nice day at the ballpark for sure.

26-22 right? calgary got 7 on that silly turnover late in the first half, really dumb play in my opinion, not so bad if you are at your own 40 or 50 but in your own end zone? It's a dumb play call, don't care how close he was to getting it or not, fact is, he didn't get it, can talk about bad placement all you want but apparent on the tv replay, they got the call and spot right.. he was down where they marked him down, you mean 40,000 eskimo fans disagreed? no kidding. But you lose by 4 and you give up 7 there instead of nothing? or maybe 3.. yeah it's a call that cost them the game for sure. Theres being ballsy and then there's being just stupid, that play call to fake punt out of the endzone with 20 seconds to go in the half was stupid.

Not only against the bombers, wasn't a very good head ref at all and was quite obvious for some time that he favoured certain teams over others. Glad to see this happen, about time, probably another ref or 2 that could join him on the sidelines.

alex hall was a dominant defensive end that makes a huge difference, so much so, you know how good hall is? he's currently in camp in the NFL... January would not get you what alex hall got you, not in a million years, cuz regardless of what some think, January is not a dominant tackle, he's an average at best tackle... Listen, Glenn January the person, great guy, The football player though? He's really not that good, How many International Tackles are there in the league? Where does January rank on that list? If theres 10, i bet he's ranked 10th. Just saying. Alex Hall last season was arguable the best or 2nd best Defensive End in the league, Glenn January is not Alex Hall... Just cuz January has been here a long time doesn't mean he's one of the best tackles in the league, just cuz he's won "all star" awards or whatever, means nothing, wasn't jovon johnson an all star last season? The other side if... January and Morley have been the only constant players on our oline the last what? 3 4 5?? years, the oline hasn't been good in what? 3 4 5 years? Maybe January and Morley to an extent are actually part of the reason why our Oline hasn't been that good.

I'm curious what Lawless would have said if we beat Edmonton last week. What will he say if we beat BC tonight? It's unfortunate that this is the type of stuff that gets out to the masses, someone said it best, lawless is no more than anyone of us on here, he just gets paid for spewing his crap, where we all do it for "fun". If we could trade January for a starting Canadian, i'm pretty sure we'd do it but reality is, not gonna happen. You know what the biggest problem Winnipeg in general has, sorry i should say the Winnipeg Sports Scene has in general, guys like Lawless.. Dude's pretty much trying to force Kane out of town with the Jets and has since he first got here and now, the bombers who are 3-1 and nobody expected that, if you said you did, you are fooling yourself cuz none of us expected them to be 3-1 after 4 weeks, hell 1-3 probably would have been the popular choice but 3-1 and now its time to blow it up and trade our "best" olineman, that's arguable in my opinion, he's our best International Oline, i'm not convinced he's our best Olineman though, I think Greaves is and i'm gonna say, Morley being more versatile (can play all 3 positions on the line, guard, centre, tackle in a pinch) are better overall... but what a crazy suggestion, 3-1 and it's time to blow it up. LOL. No wonder players don't want to come here, no wonder coaches in the past have said thanks but no thanks to coming here, some like to blame the BOD and things like that, nah man, its the media for sure, nobody wants or deserves the crap that some of these media types spew about them. Our biggest problem here is the media, they are just lacking so much and look to sensationalize and look to just cause problems when really, there are none, (there are some but) like i said, we are 3-1, same number of wins in 4 weeks this year as we did all last season, we ain't gonna lose 15 in a row lol, the team has made progress, blow it up? isn't that what we did in the off-season? I'm still under the impression that if we went 18-0, won the grey cup then next season went 17-0 to start the season and lost our last game playing backups, that some members of our local sports media would find a way to crap on the team.

Ellerby signed a 2 way contract so it's likely he starts in st johns, if not the whole season there, fact is, he was a UFA for a while and took a 2 way contract with the Jets, means there wasn't much if any interest in him. Solid depth move though that should help a young st johns team out.
