Goalie

redblacks threatening with 2 seconds left. And buriss is sacked on a bad snap, illegal formation ottawa penalty. Game OVER.

Burris hurt, out in the last 3 minutes, get crushed and then leaves the game, refs call a penalty for roughing only after seeing burris not getting up. Not sure i like that call, call the penalty not the "injury" to the qb... Did seem like a bit of late hit or head shot but refs fault for not blowing it dead and now ottawa gets stuffed on 3rd and 1, hand off in shot gun, loses yards. Christ.

Easy solution. Go to the game live. Would love too but... got things to do until about 430. Can't make it to as many games as i've wanted too. Family and Life get in the way of going to games at times.

I think Willys injury was minor and i think some are over exaggerating the extent of his injury. It's not like he got Lulay'd or anything, he got a sprain, believe thats what they called it at least, a sprain. Basically the best type of shoulder injury you could have. Think if we had a game last week, Willy wouldn't have played but i think the extra week really helped his recovery out. Not sure what the guy did during the bye week but my guess, bust his ass hardcore so he could be recovered in time for the next game. I highly doubt the team or Willy himself would risk significant long term damage, I mean, if it was as bad as some think, don't think he'd be playing so it was obviously a pretty minor injury.

Rod Black is ridiculous but we all know that. Definitely makes watching the games tougher. Scares me as i Think we get black calling our game tomorrow.

Montreal probably with several fields to not as many field goals Edmonton probably over SASK altho think Edmonton has not looked that good the last few weeks, think they have been a bit exposed to be honest. Very good record vs the east like every other west team but a losing record vs the west.

They could give these guys their 9 games thing or whatever it is and if they look like they belong, keep him. If not, send him back. I'd rather guy with guys like Lowry and Petan who could rise above the third line, even contribute on the power play in Petans case over career bottom 6 players for sure.

Ehlers skill is off the charts right now, dude has a ton of talent, just needs to get bigger.. No chance he makes the team this year, just looks to small, but.. has had opportunities to light the lamp this pre-season so far but hasn't. Still, give that guy a year to get bigger and yup, he'll be a difference maker. Petan looks really good to me, looks like he's at home on the power play and looks like he is a play maker, think the rest they are having him on the "4th line" in a meaningless pre-season game is to see if he can handle the different positions, they have played him at centre and wing, same with lowry, can play centre but was drafted as a winger.. Lowry to me has been the guy that has jumped out the most, like his size and his mean streak, hits everything. I think Lowry makes the team. Petan? Man, i love the guy and i think it's a waste to send him back to Junior cuz he's done all he could do in junior but he probably goes back to Portland one more year. Morrissey is interesting, does make a few mistakes out there, could be just nerves or a little lack of chemistry with his D partner but... he does a lot of little things very well. Excellent passer and very good power play qb i feel. Roster? Sure lets do it G- Pav, Hutch Not gonna make pairings here cuz i think it's irrelevant if they are left or right handed guys so Bogo,Trouba,Toby,Morrissey,Stuart,Clitsome,Postma as the 7th, That O'neill guy has looked good so far though so... Who knows there, Could change. F- Ladd,Little,Buff F- Kane,Scheif,Wheeler F- Lowry,Perreault,Frolik F- Galliardi,Slater,Thorburn (Peluso)(Tangradi) WIth that roster being said, I think it's still possible the bottom 6 changes somewhat significantly. F- Petan,Perreault,Frolik F- Lowry,Slater, (Galliardi,Thorburn,Peluso,Tangradi) <-- insert which ever you want really. More offence? Galliardi? More toughness? One of the other 3 really.

Gotta agree here. Look at Ken Hitchcock in Columbus and now look at him in St Louis. Columbus struggled when Hitchcock was there, same guy who has coached for Team Canada at the Olympics and other events like that, or one of the coaches. St Louis is a pretty good team, they weren't under their previous coach though but the players that St Louis had at the time were not as good as they are now, same with Columbus though. I think Coaching plays a role but at the end of the day, teams can use whatever systems they want and all that stuff and at the end of the day, it's still just hockey. The team who scores more goals wins all the time. Been that way since i can remember. I understand the importance of systems, more so strong defensive play, because if you only give up 1 or 2 goals a game, well... you probably have a high chance of winning but again at the end of the day, it's still just skate,hit,pass, shoot, score. Coaching plays a role but the talent level on the team plays a greater role. Maurice is a good coach, he had a team in Carolina that wasn't exactly loaded with talent, they pretty much rode a hot goalie to the finals... but for him to get that much out of that Carolina roster at the time definitely says he's a good coach. Are there some bad coaches? Sure there are. But i agree when you say if you made it to the NHL, you had to have done something right.

If renaud could do more than punting, he'd probably have no reason to worry about his job but because he can't and it's been said multiple times now by several posters including using examples that he can't and he's only, strictly, all he does is PUNT, He will be hard pressed to get back in to a game this year. I'm under the impression he's healthy and Lirim is just better plus the extra special teams player not being wasted on a one dimensional punter, If Lirim got hurt in a game and Renaud was also dressed, i highly doubt he'd do anything other than punt the ball, all this leads me to believe that he's gone in the off-season, possibly retirement. Has had a good career but his time is probably just about done. Do people forget that game where Sakoda was supposed to be our kicker and couldnt play and they had to go with Renaud, man oh man, that was a gong show, i'm not even sure he kicked an extra point in that game. With all that being said, I thought Renaud was fine, but... a little too inconsistent in his bomber career, big boomers followed by huge shanks at the worst times possible, I don't hate the guy, he's had a good career, just I feel his time is up, If you have a guy that can do all 3 and a guy that can only do 1, The writing is on the wall for Renaud for sure. He's had a good career, not bad for a guy who can only exclusively punt and do nothing else. Pretty rare these days for a one dimensional kicker to last as long as renaud has actually.

Alice in Chains lol.

Have you never had a sprain and made it worse by testing it too soon? I have..and so have many others I would guess. For sure but for as much as some pretend, we aren't finely tuned athletes who tend to heal quicker than the average Joe. I don't see the risk in playing him, he could play and not get hurt at all, he could play and break his foot, totally unrelated to the sprain. You play the guy who gives you the best chance to Win and the best chance for the Bombers to win is with Willy behind centre. It is what it is. Can't worry about him injuring his shoulder because, to be quite honest, There was a good chance a few weeks ago that he could have got injured just like there is a chance of that happening every week every game. Injuries happen in pro sports.

I like that Sears gets back in, SUcks it's because Johnson is hurt though, Johnson has been one of our best DB'S all year, maybe the best actually... arguably. Willy is crazy, machine, #beastmode, but I'm going to bet that he doesn't play this week. Think Brohm does. Think Willy back the week after though. Bucknor has been solid this year but it sure would be nice to have a db group of Randle,Washington,Johnson,Sears. Would like to see a new receiver in there if Moore is still out. McGuffie?

Who is Tyler? Offensive Tackle, played for Sask and I believe Edmonton also, Has been on our PR a while, Believe when he first was rumoured to sign here, There was a tweet or post making reference to he must be a fan of Katy Perry, So whenever her concert was, that's when we signed him lol. It's true.

Really liked what Lowry brought last night, Think he's a good bet to make the team this after one pre-season game lol. Pav and Hutch both looked very good, Pav looked slimmer, less rebounds, not much star power on that Wild team though last night. Missing all the big guys really.. We were missing a few of ours too tho. Overall good game, Think Ehlers goes back to Junior, no doubt about it, however when he has the puck on his stick and has space, it's a thing of beauty to watch that guy skate like that. Petan? Man, love that guy for some reason, it's not the height thing, I'm 6'4 lol... but something about his game I like, big shoes yes but he could be our Marty St Louis Honestly... Ladd,Little,Buff Kane,Scheif,Wheeler Petan,Perreault, Frolik Lowry, Slater, Galliardi? Thorbs can stick around as the 13th forward for qualities he brings that got him paid that much this off-season. Not sure about the D, Morrissey looks ready out there, makes nice passes, smart player, good vision, can't get much better in the WHL really, is well above that level right now.. but is he everyday d man? Is clitsome legit healthy and how many games will he give you until probably gets hurt again. Morrissey has a very high ceiling, a ceiling i don't think can be reached playing junior, just like with Petan, He is too skillfull to play in the WHL.. is he ready for the NHL? Morrissey and Petan are both very talented players that IMO should be on the team, Only because i don't see what sending them back down to Junior really accomplishes. It is too bad about that dumb rule for sure, Cuz those are 2 guys that would benefit greatly from it. Too good for the WHL, maybe not quite but almost ready for the Bigs. Belong in the AHL for a few games/a season first probably though.

Ottawa and Hamilton are upcoming, so it's still possible. Don't waste the typing effort bud, outside revels in the fact we are losing.. The only thing I hate worse than losing is doing nothing about it. What do you suggest they do. It's easy to make a comment like that but there doesn't seem to be much substance in that comment. What do you suggest they do, I want names and i want who they replace on the roster. Name let's say 3 guys they should sign and who those 3 guys should replace, Keep in mind, those guys you want to be signed, they need to want to sign in the CFL.. so there goes Matthews, Thigpen and Alex Hall who is out for the season with a hand injury of some kind. Those guys you are looking for, should have been brought in to training camp and should be on the PR or waiting for a phone call. Should have, for sure. Guess they haven't been doing anything at all.. Not a damn thing. FIRE THEM ALL.

Well if we had better blocking maybe Willy would still be in one piece. I can understand that Moore & Denmark & Kelly & Grigsby are the main targets and the big play guys but if you don't have anyone to get them the ball it's pointless anyways. Willy got hurt on his own and I'm not sure how you don't understand that. The reality of this is simple, Pontbriand and Fitzgerald are good role players, but that's all they are and all they ever will be. This isn't a shot at them but fact is, they aren't that good actually. Willy hurt himself. Putting that on anyone other than Willy is ridiculous.

I think he needs to go but who has the power to make him go? Gotta believe the owners (all of them) are on his side. Only media pressure i suppose would make him resign but the guy probably won't do that cuz just like all the owners in the NFL, his ego is too big to allow him to admit he ABSOLUTELY SUCKS.

Sometimes even bomber fans get crapped on for having different opinions. It is what it is. It's a fan forum.

They are excellent. Until November. No doubt about that. That does seem to be their only downfall, when games start to matter, they tend to crap the bed. But they aren't relying on Glen this year. Been going on for longer than glenn was there. It seems to be a trend of sorts in Calgary the last few years actually, very good to dominate regular season, crap the bed in the playoffs.

Those are some interesting numbers right there... how can Edmonton be 6-1 vs. the east when the only team that has beaten them is Calgary? All three times they've played? Makes me wonder what other errors are in there. Yeah got that one wrong, bad math there... Not sure what i was looking at on the CFL site there to be honest, Just noticed that too... Calgary 7-0 Sask 4-2 Edmonton 6-0 BC 4-1 Wpg 5-1

The Ravens, ladies and gents pic.twitter.com/Tier9kuNFC — Bruce Arthur (@bruce_arthur) September 19, 2014 Doesn't it really say all we need to know? It's not AP, it's rice and a little letter/ texts he was sent by the Ravens owner. These guys know what's going on, but they just don't care. IMO, it's all about winning, sure that's not what the note says but... reading between the lines, it's pretty obvious the only thing the owners care about is Winning. They don't care about anything else, Winning and trying to save face even when they knew full well what was going on the entire time. What a joke. NFL is a disgrace.

Howard seems to have gotten better, not sure why some don't see that January hasn't had the greatest year out there either but he's been beat as much if not more than howard has been and Howard is the whooping boy it seems. Iso is right, it's lack of talent... Gotta ask yourselves an honest question, would any of these guys be starters on any other teams in the league? I'd wager to guess, maybe Morley because he seems to be a good centre and that's probably it. January is not the best Import Tackle in the league, Howard isn't either but has shown signs of improvement, if you don't have the best or 2nd best Import Tackle in the league, bring someone else in cuz the current guys aren't good enough. I'm not fooling myself here though, I know building the oline takes time, it's going to take more than one season, hell probably take more than 2 or 3 to get where we truly need to be in terms of offensive line depth but.... The tackle Positions, January should be very replaceable. Howard is still young enough that he can get better and he has gotten better as time has gone on, anyone refusing to admit that is just not being honest. As for grading Wylie, I give it an incomplete, i think he is here to evaluate and to let the team know who he feels is worth keeping and not worth keeping. I feel we will find this out in the off season, if we come back next season with the same group, we are in trouble but gotta trust wylie as he knows more about the oline than any of us on here combined.. Grade Wylie? Incomplete. But if forced in to grading him, I'd give him a B, because the oline has not got the quarterback hurt this year, willy hurt himself last game, that is a step up from the previous seasons. B with a little note saying, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken crap.

They are excellent. Until November. No doubt about that. That does seem to be their only downfall, when games start to matter, they tend to crap the bed.
