I was going to make a direct flight to Montreal from the old Netley airport...no one answered the phone...

3 guys in their first pro games.

If I was building a defense I'd start with an aggressive front four. Everything else just falls into place. Oh gawd, not Ford. We don't need a glorified running back as a qb. Ford's brutal. Killam gave him a fair shot. The experiment lasted 6 games & now both the Elks HC & GM Ed Hervey can't wait to get rid of him.

We know Thomas is going to play & start. He has a starting position for life.

Definitely Bailey being Cdn should be in the mix...Osh praised him on OB.

But our 1s are old and suck.

One can dream!

MOS voice-"They're all number ones."

So it looks like that Strip mall where Peavy mart was on my end is getting a makeover (and maybe getting an extra unit?)

Also, it's not like we were playing our 1s either...

He was twice benched before he got the big deal he’s on. Same happened to mbt fajardo etc. Likely in the 200k plus incentives range. Meanwhile, Idont like elgersma will come cheap since he’s still pining for an nfl pr deal. He might think he could get a second tc shot. I hope so, but we do tend to move glacially slow with these decisions.

And there's near zero demand for the flight. Surprised it exists honestly.

You’re acting like they have 18 ol on the roster and benched the 1s to go from 2nd unit to third. That just isn’t the case. They dressed their usual 7ol, only mcgloster missed the game, who missed 4 games injured this year. Their tackles and C didn’t sub, they subbed guards late. They wouldn’t have left mbt out with a 3rd string ol for the whole game either. Their roster was prepped and made with the expectation of it being a must win. They have 2 rookie imp ol, 1 imp 1 global and both stayed on the PR. The only change they will make to their ol, is if mcgloster can get healthy.

How much would a thrice benched 28 year old QB command on the open market? I wonder if the Bombers might be forced to do something with Hogan. Jackson was interim coach in Edmonton and obviously QB coach is a big step back. I would imagine if he doesn't get a promotion he would be a candidate in at least Ottawa for the HC or OC gig

If he’s available, I’d look at crum. I also don’t think we’d be in the market to pay ford what he’d want

Problem with that is we didn’t have a proper qb2 this year either. We need to do better next year, and not marginally better at qb. If masoli retires i could see bc going for ford. Back up canadian to the canadian and buck can run his strev pack stuff He’s an upgrade over streveler at doing streveler things. But not an upgrade as a qb. Because as of yet, he hasn’t shown to remotely be a qb in the cfl. I think highly of elgersma, but It would be crazy for him to take real reps next year. This year has shown you need a qb2 who can start, run the offence and win. Not just come off the bench.

Jets have looked like absolute s*** this home stand. Barely beat Calgary. Got shut out by the kraken. This better be a wake up call to them. Thinking the injuries are catching up to them.

what happened to our free space team?

I want Ford to be a great QB worse than bad.... But how on earth can you watch anything he's done and say that he's an upgrade over anyone in the league? Definitely not an upgrade over anyone we currently have.

Finally happened... After hearing the Canuck anthem, I miss Stacey Nattress

600 for a direct flight thats around 2.5 hours is still insane.

game is tied at 2 after 2

Man Jets just look slow and tired these last 3 games. Utah has dominated the possession and are relentless in attacking the Jets. Need to wake up boys. Lucky it's tied.

Both Elgesma and Ford would be a big upgrade on who we rostered this year. I wouldn't have a problem with either one. With Ford, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to out east and might be a good fit with Mtrl as Alexander isn't costing them a lot.

They really nail you now for notice less than 2 weeks. I flew business class, indirect winnipeg to north carolina and back this time last year on a weeks notice. almost 4k. For two months this year my company had a price limit on trips of 500 us total expense. I told the senior manager who told me that I couldn’t go any place out side of driving range then. 2 weeks out, cheapest flights to toronto/montreal run 450. odd time might get one 350-400 but it’s rare. Bc is usually 650.
