rebusrankin Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Its a pre-season game. Relax. Looks like Jake Thomas and Ryan Lucas can be soild rotation DL guys. Harris and Anderson sounded good. Goltz sounded ok. Etienne and Carter too.
kelownabomberfan Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 was over 50k along the route and at City Hall for the presentation. big success. (have to say though that likely half of them were downtown worker types who just took their elevator down for their smoke-break... but nonetheless, it was great to see and it got lots of coverage on anything not owned by Rogers) heh yeah and 49,500 of them were all thinking the same thing - who are these guys and why are they holding that silver thing over their heads?
kelownabomberfan Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 you made me do it... if you like... i can show you the parades from the other 4 Grey Cups we've won since your last one also... Seriously? You have pictures from other Grey Cups? I guess I'd like to see the 1991 and 2004 pics, those were the only Grey Cup you guys have won in the last few decades where the league didn't hand you a franchise QB. The 1991 and 2004 Cups were the two I didn't mind you guys winning - 1991 because of Dunigan and John Candy and 2004 because of the feel good of Damon Allen winning it, you don't often see a grandfather winning a Cup!
Atomic Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 The Argos are the biggest charity case in professional sports... never have I seen a team receive so many handouts in the form of star players and straight-up cash. I'd be embarrassed to be a fan of that team.
Armchair GM Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 you made me do it... if you like... i can show you the parades from the other 4 Grey Cups we've won since your last one also... Look at all those Argo jerseys in the crowd... real fans there...
TrueBlue Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Look at all those Argo jerseys in the crowd... real fans there... More Stamps jerseys in the crowd than Argo jerseys from what I see,
Guest Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 While it was only a pre season game and clearly our best players weren't on the field, this really doesn't look great from the outside looking in. Truth be told the only thing that's really concerning to me at this point is that this is the second time in less than 1 full calendar year that the Bombers have lost 52-0.

I'd be embarrassed to be a fan of that team. the only real consolation of being a fan of the Argos in Toronto is that you are basically anonymous. Kind of like me being a fan of the Fremantle Dockers of the AFL here in Canada.
Bomber_fanaddict Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 I'll wait for next week but man am I worried about when Buck goes down. None of the other QB's seem ready.I know it looked like they aren't ready but how much can you pin on play calling, rook receivers and online? Goltz was 13/22 for 110 with 2 picks (could be receivers fault) meanwhile Durant was 14/23 with a pick and a TD and he was playing with starters. I think everything is skewed by not having starters.Edit. Tate was also 9-21 with 107 yards and calvillo was 6-12 for 114 and a TD. To think Goltz even moved the ball is outstanding!
Atomic Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Ricky Ray was 0/3, I guess the Argos should cut him
kelownabomberfan Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Lulay was 2 for 5 for 13 yards last game. I can't believe he's still on BC's roster.
Uncle Bill Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Lulay was 2 for 5 for 13 yards last game. I can't believe he's still on BC's roster. Ricky Ray was 0/3, I guess the Argos should cut him Now just hold on. Are you asking us to try to keep things in perspective? Nope. I reserve the right to whinge that ONLY IN WINNIPEG must we endure inferior performances.
kelownabomberfan Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Well, Elliott was 3 of 4 for 25 yards in the same game, so clearly he should be kept and Lulay cut. Sounds like it's going to be a long year in BC.
Bomber_fanaddict Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Ricky Ray was 0/3, I guess the Argos should cut him Even Poblah was 1/1 for 9 yards lol.
iso_55 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Well, Elliott was 3 of 4 for 25 yards in the same game, so clearly he should be kept and Lulay cut. Sounds like it's going to be a long year in BC. Nick Moore looked like a very good receiver. Dropped that one pass though right in the hands, though.
Dirty30 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Wow, there must be like 5000 people there! The same 5000 who show up to their games.
Brandon Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Posted July 14, 2013 Tonight will be yet another game to add to Burke's resume when they determine if he should coach next season.... no reason at all Pierce should of played all night
Mr Dee Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 No, there is no reason for Buck to continue. What I saw out of Buck tonight, could easily have been outdone by a 2nd string QB...sad to say. I mean, really, would Goltz have done any worse?
17to85 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 No, there is no reason for Buck to continue. What I saw out of Buck tonight, could easily have been outdone by a 2nd string QB...sad to say. I mean, really, would Goltz have done any worse? if Goltz had thrown 4 ints and we'd lost by 20 would it have made any difference? Losses are losses. Pierce isn't doing anything to win games anymore, time to see if the next guy can.
pigseye Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Might as well fire Crowton now, he lost as many close games with Elliot & Brink last season, changing the QB isn't changing the results.
Mr Dee Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 if Goltz had thrown 4 ints and we'd lost by 20 would it have made any difference? Losses are losses. Pierce isn't doing anything to win games anymore, time to see if the next guy can. That's what I said.
iso_55 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 The same 5000 who show up to their games. In al lmy years watching the CFL, I've never seen a crowd(?) like that ever in Edmonton. That was like watching the old Alouettes just before they folded in 1982 & had crowds like that at the Big Owe. If that isn't the fanbase sending a message to the Eskimo front office I don't know what is. Thing is, these spoiled Eskimo fans should spend time in Winnipeg to know what real suffering is. Hervey gave Kavis Reed a new contract extension!! Wow. Clueless. He's as useless as a HC as he was when he was a defensive coordinator.

He's as useless as a HC as he was when he was a defensive coordinator. deadmonton is definitely in a nose dive right now.. hugh charles seems to be the only effective cog on offense and defense doesnt spook anyone... reed is a joke as a hc and hervey is just as bad as a gm... long days ahead... at least they will draw some attention off our defunct offense..
Zontar Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 East needs one West team to suck to stop crossover. If its EDM so be it.

It was pouring rain, 18 C at game time, then down to 11 during the third quarter. Commonwealth only has about 8 rows at the top of the bottom bowl with cover. I would not take yesterday's "fans in the seats" as any indication as to the health of the franchise.
