I have no issue with Ben Major, he's been fair in the past.

Officiating isn't great overall but I don't feel like there is any total ******* like Murray Clarke anymore

Proulx is a goof 

[Noeller]

Andre Proulx is the best ref in the league.

Apparently Major is but I agree with Proulx being the best 

[rebusrankin]

Nothing against Major just feel Andre is da best.

[Booch]

people crap on the head ref all the time...he just reporting the news for the most part other than any penalty he calls personally....80 percent of calls are by the other clowns

[17to85]

Proulx might be good but i think his crew sucks.

Something O'Shea would never say.

 

Osh would never...also 20 grand sounds like it could help some of those families a lot given inflation.

[rebusrankin]

Classy talk from Dinwiddie. What a jackass.

[17to85]

Gee maybe that's why guys left... 

[Noeller]

Demski back practicing... Still no Jake Kelly or Noah Hallett...

You know what. Congrats out to Myron Mitchell for somehow surviving all year long. If nothing else the guy has heart and obviously loves football.

Ben Major was rated higher than Proulx?

Obviously guys are playing with this or that by this point in the season, but that’s a remarkably healthy roster.

Murray Clarke is still a ref in the league, but he hasn't been a head ref for a number of years.  Not sure if it was demotion or by choice, but he definitely wasn't great as a head red.

These aren't NFL salaries, I don't even blame Lawler for chasing money in Edmonton.

100%. Saying that...I believe Lawler is on record saying it was a mistake.

Yep.  It's easy to criticize a guy like Lawler who chased the money and regretted it but the flipside is a guy like Sheed.  He was loyal to the club but never made up the money he left on the table after the 2021 season, never got another ring and is (was?) now a PR player.  As much as I'd love to see all our top guys back every year, I don't fault anyone for taking the money while they can.

Argos just can't afford to fall behind by too much, too early. it'd likely be their death knell and the start of a 3 hour party for you guys.

If I'm O'Shea, I would go after Arbuckle and force him to beat me. I would throw knock-out blow deep routes to Lawler and attempt to make Toronto chase me on the scoreline. Force the Argos to go one dimensional with their offence. I just don't see how we'd be able to be in any sort of shootout and have a good chance at winning.

Argos need to weather the storm. Argos need to grind out drives and eat up time of possession. Argos need to tilt the field with their punt/kick/return advantages. Defenders and specialists need to steal the ball and hopefully factor in the scoring. Unsettle Collaros, get after him and disrupt his timer. Wear them down and create a situation where our 3 running backs can see the game out for us in the late game.

It's a lot. But we don't have our main man available so as I said before... the margin for error is mercilessly small.

It seems like when the Bombers' protection gets questioned; they go seven linemen a lot.  BC game last year and last week, for example. They are pretty deadly in those sets, getting the ball down the field.

FWIW, Ottawa and Montreal both did a lot of that to us. I expect we'd see it.
