Depending on where we pick, I think i'd lean towards OLINE and Dline in this years draft. I'd love to get Demski but don't think that's likely with how poorly other teams have been playing, I don't see demski dropping to below 5 and i don't see any eastern teams finishing with a better record than the bombers plus Our National depth at receiver is pretty strong and NO, we are not trading Watson, people should just stop saying that already, it's not going to happen. BEST oline or dline available in my opinion.

It's not alleged, he certainly did spank his kid with a branch. And the worst week for stupidity in NFL history comes to an end... Ray Rice, Goodell, Jerry Jones and now This. Jesus.

Some irony in the fact that Henoc is off in the NFL, gonna stick for a while too and Mitchell is nowhere to be found. The 2 guys taken 1 2 in that draft are no longer in the league, one is out of football completely.

I'm under the impression we wanted Willy all along, But i also feel that we wanted one of Collaros or Burris too. Like someone else stated, IF it was Burris, Willy would have learned behind him for one season and then became the man, (hell, he probably would have became the man this season anyway as Burris has looked like crap and no, it's not all on Ottawa Receivers, It's on hank too). Collaros, him and Willy would have competed for the number 1 job and I feel Willy probably would have beat him out... Honestly, The way to look at it I feel is not getting Burris or Collaros is the reason Brian Brohm is here, not the reason Willy is. I think Willy was in their plans all along. I guess what i'm basing this on is that Mcmanus, several weeks before we had interest in any of the QB'S came out and pretty much endorsed Willy as the guy he wanted. That's the only real fact we know, can't ignore the fact that our Assistant GM came out and endorsed Willy before we went after any of the other 2. Willy was the guy they wanted all along, just not sure it was only Willy they wanted. But i think the cream always rises to the top and regardless of if they signed Burris or Collaros and Willy, Willy would be the starter right now. Oh and don't give me this crap that Willy wouldn't have left Regina to be a back-up. That's BS for sure because In Regina there was a proven starter, In Winnipeg it would have been an open competition for the starters job. Even if the bombers signed Burris (glad they didn't), Willy still would have signed here because fact is, Durant is the Sask starter now and he will be for a very long time.

LOL. That's all i have to say to those comparing Hell to PAV 2.0. One game, One Practice, D pretty much nowhere to be found on multiple goals last night.. Soft Goals? which ones? the one from the point that got redirected in front of the net? The one where he made 3 straight saves only to be beaten on the 4th chance? Seriously? Pav 2.0 after one game? What a joke. Honestly, what a joke.

I listened to the O'shea press conference where he was constantly asked about it by I'm assuming it was WICEK. And honestly, from what O'shea said, I don't think that i would even consider that a practice. O'shea was right with what he said, basically saying fans wouldn't see much, they would just see a few guys on the field in sweat pants and that stuff walking around. I've been to 1 bomber practise this year and that practise i saw, they were all wearing their pads and stuff, this one, they don't. I don't see the big deal here and it seems the majority feels the same way. Wicek, lol, i agree with the others who have said if you go to a practise and look around, you see all the media huddles up, talking to each other, not paying attention to the practise at all, I go back to a time last season i believe, buck pierce threw like 1 pass and toth tweeted that pierce has looked good today, he threw one darn pass lol. The media doesn't even pay attention to what is going on on the field, they don't. People from outside the city or province may not understand exactly cuz they don't have the luxury to go to a practise if they want but... seriously, for the 2 hours or so i was there, the media guys maybe turned their heads twice to look at the field and that's only when the fans who were there reacted to a play on the field. If i want to know what happened at a practise, i certainly don't pick up the paper to find out cuz i just won't, theres maybe one or 2 small lines there about what went on at practise, honestly, if i want to know how practise went, i either go myself and check it out (when i can) or just... come to this site and read the fans practise reports because they are a lot more in depth than what the papers give us. That's for sure.

Look up circle jerk and you get the idea how the media treats the jets Except when it comes to Evander Kane.

Harris, what a moron. 8 carries for 38 yards last game vs the bombers for Mr Harris. What Old Andy doesn't seem to understand is BC's OLINE is AWFUL, SASK's is probably the best in the league.. Best OL in the league, worst oline in the league... and that includes the bombers. Bombers win i think. Probably not as close as one would think.

That was a very crappy game, als D got tired in the second half though, that's what happens when your O can't get a first down, they had like 8 of them through probably 3 quarters, didn't finish with much more. Als Suck, Esks don't scare me either, If they were playing a team who could actually get a first down, they would have lost. Reilly IS going to get hurt one time, it's only a matter of time. ESKs trending downwards, 5-0 vs the east, yet nobody mentions that when talking about Edmonton.

Could just be due to injuries, he wasn't dressing the last few games anyway so why not put a couple other guys on the reserve list instead, guys that might help out a bit more.. Maybe both Booker Mosely and Pall get on the 46 man this week, one will probably sit though.

HAHA.

Tell me whose stat line for the season this is... 11 for 37 7 for 26 18 for 138 12 for 72 8 for 38 15 for 70 6 for 29 6 for 11 6 for 14 If you were to guess, Andrew Harris, you would be correct. One of the best RB's in the league at that... One good game, a bunch of duds.

Issue for me is that If Grigsby gets hurt, next man up is Volny. He's an ok game day back up but I wouldn't want him starting. Probably not but... gotta see what happens the next week or so, I'm betting with both Cotton and Bolton released, we will see another back brought in unless they feel Stoudemire or McGuffie can be that guy and the obe position on the field that you should be able to start someone new under crazy circumstances and probably not see a huge drop off is the running back position. Sask went with Allen,Charles,Ford,Messam.. yeah CFL experience for the most part but... pretty much changed their back for a while there game to game and didn't see any drop off in play really.

True. He only leads the league in TDS, yards from scrimmage and hasn't fumbled all year but besides that.. only has a 6.8 yard average per carry his last 40 carries too but other than that.

Honestly, doesn't surprise me, The times we have seen him, he has not looked that good. Some people on the forum here will flip out cuz he was their boy but... Gets a big meh from me really. Hasn't dressed the last little while either, Looked good in pre-season but so did a bunch of guys who are no longer with their teams.

Some people have to much of a hate for the Riders, I don't really like them but honestly, if the bombers can't win, hell, why not the riders. Some of you seem to have some major agendas with the riders for some reason, people talking about how classless their fans are, isn't it classless to talk about how classless another teams fans are tho? Not a rider fan but... If the bombers can't win, why not the riders? for as much as some may not want to admit, bomber and rider fans are very very similar, we are brothers really, we are the small market teams. People can crap on Regina all they want, whatever but reality is, it's not that much different than Winnipeg really. Cheer for the small market team that draws 30,000 out to games consistently or the larger market teams who barely get 25000. Give me the small market teams. And this whole, rider fans are obnoxious, sure they are.. just like some bomber fans are too. Those people are few and far between though. At the Edmonton game earlier this year, leaving at the end, group of 3 or 4 bomber fans went up to Eddie Steels family and gave them the middle finger and screaming FU in their faces... So classy though for sure.

There is nothing Walters can really do right now though, we play saturday, our bye week isn't until next week. Can't bring a guy off the streets today and have him play 2 days from now. During the bye week, sure, exhaust all your options but reality is right now today thursday, we gotta go with what we got. The one thing i'll say, and it sucks to lose Zach but... BC's oline is awful, probably the worst in the league, it might not hurt us this week as much as it could have other weeks.

What you do see sometimes is that if a team is "eliminated" from the play-offs, that GM might look to make a trade. This year though is different, for as pathetic as the East has been, reality (maybe not actual reality) is they all still have a chance to host a play-off game. Nobody is out of the play-off picture right now. The West? well, we all know how that works, It's likely a team with a winning record or at least .500 record misses the play-offs completely.

That's always your solution, trade a guy and a Canadian this time? We lack Canadian depth, why do you want to trade it? Seriously and besides what makes you think we could get a top 3 pick anyway, You eliminate the guys with NFL aspirations and both Groulx and Demski are gone 1,2 probably. Right now if the season ended we'd pick 5th... Ottawa, Hamilton,Montreal, Toronto,Winnipeg. We won't be trading up, that's for sure. Ottawa? need canadian help across the board Hamilton? Good bet they go OLINE. Montreal? Your guess is as good as mine, Receiver would make the most sense. Demski makes sense here assuming Ottawa don't take him first overall. Toronto? Again your guess is as a good as mine Trade Watson and then when one of JFG or Kohlert go down? then what? trade for Watson? We don't have the depth to be trading our Canadian starters right now. Put in Carter cuz he's from Winnipeg? He's done nothing. Renaud? done nothing. The National depth at receiver looks good right now, why would you make it weaker by trading Watson? You trade Watson and that pretty good National receiver depth don't look so good any more.

That's a huge loss, No to mainor and Griggs, they are defensive ends as is mcadoo isn't he? Enough Recycling guys really.. Gilmore might make some sense, Keron Williams too but.. i doubt those guys could step in immediately. Gotta go with what we have right now and during the bye week, perhaps talk to Hamilton about a trade. They have lots and lots of DL.

Pierre Pall and Mary... This is the legendary stuff

Dad? Is that you? Because I feel like you just took everything from my last post, agreed with it but somehow reworded it to make it seem like we're arguing... Was just a general observation, didn't use any quotes there LOL. But maybe we should contact Guiness book of world records to make sure because it's probably the first time in human history where dad is probably 20 or more years younger than his son.

It's not just the bombers, the media here tends to over exaggerate and make something out of nothing for just about everything, Don't matter if its the Jets and Blake Wheeler talking about Evander Kane, Don't matter if it's about Elections and who to vote for, It's just about everything. You know what, They call Winnipeg a fish bowl and to an extent i suppose we are but in a greater extent and perhaps the truth, The media makes us to be a fish bowl. It's at the point where i don't even pay much attention to what any one in our media says, They all have their agendas, there are good guys out there though who can hopefully change things, guys like Bauming and to a lesser extent Penton, but he works for the sun and the sun has a huge agenda to push and at times, Penton pushes that agenda too. Eventually though, one of 2 things will happen, some younger media people will come along and push out the bad or newspapers and print media will go out of business. Less and less people get the papers every day. I used to work for one of the paper companies, the free press, worked at their call centre, yup and most the calls i received, 8 out of 10 calls for sure were people wanting to cancel their subscriptions. That was probably 7 years ago now but... I'd imagine it hasn't gotten any better.

I think injuries play a role in some guys playing or being forced to play, with Moore out, Romby comes in. JFG is still on the roster tho. He just gets less snaps. Would i live to see him get more? Sure but... Like i said, with Moore injured. Kuale? well, Wild is hurt right now, there does seem to be some loyalty to him, guess maybe its lack of depth, maybe its the fact that maybe just maybe he's not as terrible as some make him out to be or maybe its because it's passed the veteran cut down date and if we released him, we'd be paying him for not playing. The other thing is, for as many stupid penalties as Kuale takes, or let's say took vs SASK, it was a missed block on a fg that cost us that game. Even with all the penalties, a missed block on a fg cost us that game. No doubt MB and Etch have some say but.. I think at this point in time, we are stuck with who we have. Not because we aren't trying to get better but because like many others have said, there isn't some CFL all star sitting on the sidelines right now, and if there is, he's probably not willing to give up his NFL aspirations just yet. I'LL be more concerned if in the off-season we don't find a replacement for Kuale and Bryant.

I like bauming but... that seems to be the key words there
