trueBlue83 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Posted August 28, 2019 24 minutes ago, Bigblue204 said: Exactly. After that drop in Edm, something just wasnt right. The HB didnt make that play, Matthews flat out dropped it. The same way he dropped the pass on the sidelines at home. He caught some, but dropped the important ones. Not completely surprised by the move, but the timing isnt great....especially because he can just go sign anywhere now.......... Also what's the chances this is a cap move? Zylstra still in the good books in MN? Adarius Bowman, 2019 Edition. shadybob, captaincanuck12, wbbfan and 2 others 4 1
Floyd Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 So was Nichols check downs because Matthews wasn’t open? Our O did stall after Adams injury...
Booch Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 thing is...put peterman and take out who?..Whitehead?..Lawler?...and why?? we don't need to paly another Canadian on offence to even roster an import running back..so why Peterman is decent..can get some gritty yards...but still unproven...and isn't a game breaker/changer so his addition doesn't really do much
Geebrr Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 I like Petermann more than Lawler. Noeller and Brandon 1 1
17to85 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 I know they guy wasn't doing what they signed him to do and he put too many balls on the ground, but man I don't really care for this... well gotta believe I suppose. Adams coming back is good, just gotta wonder why someone like Matthews who did well in Calgary last year is so useless here... CodyT, Bigblue204, rebusrankin and 1 other 2 2
M.O.A.B. Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 If the Stamps signs Matthews, maybe will have a shot to sign Marken Mitchell if he didnt make the NFL? wbbfan 1
TBURGESS Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Matthews paycheck far outweighed his contribution to the team. Nice to see the Bombers make the decision right before vet cut down day to save the SMS. M.Silverback, Tracker, Noeller and 5 others 8

Geebrr Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Well if his bar fight incident has pending charges like dude on here seems to imply then he won't be playing anywhere. Brandon and Noeller 2

Noeller Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 I'm torn...I absolutely HATE team drama, and twice in one week is far too much for me, especially going into labour day. Having said that, it sure didn't seem to me like Matthews was doing much out there, especially considering his paycheque. Also, count me in the #FreePetey group.....he's the new Shakespeare. All he does is make plays.............. Geebrr, JCon and wbbfan 2 1

If he's not directly involved constantly, he checks out mentally....shame. Geebrr and JCon 2
AKAChip Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 He wasn’t that great in Calgary either. I mean, he was fine but hardly set the league on fire. And that was with a far superior QB and passing attack.

Tracker Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I confess that I was a bit rattled by Matthews' release coming so soon after the Harris debacle. I was excited to see him signed by the Bombers, but between injuries, lackadaisical performance on the field, and his salary, I do not know if the team had much choice. I am hoping that these two events do not unsettle the team to the point where we get swept by the Riders. WE do not know all the behind-the-scenes stuff, and Walters has done a damned good job of managing the roster. I also hold some hope that there is a coup signing soon.

JCon Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Well, we're not talking about Harris this morning. Geebrr, Fatty Liver and rebusrankin 3
