Matt Jaworski has been moved from the retired list back to the practice roster. Seems like good news.

Alouettes prevail. There are the Montreal Alouettes & then there are the rest of us. They are in a class all their own. Why is Fajardi a joke? Oh yeah, I forgot. He played for the Riders a decade ago so you just hate him for no reason other than that. . Start living in the present & not the past. The guy is one of the top qbs in the CFL.

Yep...poor work by Walters and the scouts. Our NAT talent has deteriorated badly. Walters just let them walk.

God I hate the Riders and especially Riders fans so much....

I know a few don't like him but Alexander is the best QB in the league, he a pretty good line, great set of receivers and a very good RB. There were missing 3 d linemen today didn't matter.

Als are ******* murderers. Christ Almighty. It's like watching Khari to Milt with Alexander to Philpot. Unreal. Faj is still a joke. Shut down Rankin (**** my Fantasy pool team apparently) and they're toast.

Until we get an update on Dru and Zach, we only have Elgersma and Perkins who are healthy so i would not say it's a position of strength at the moment.

Which is why I wanted Walters, McManus & Osh fired last fall. Clean house entirely as their contracts expired so no financial penalties for the league. Bring in a new GM, new Head Coach, new scouting staff for Canada, the US & Global players. Instead, it never happened. Here we are talking about the same **** we were 9 months ago.

If you don't have an opinion is that still considered an opinion

Only one way to right all the time: never have an opinion

Last year the Elks were terrible and Ford wasn't great so Walters looked big brained. This year the Elks are playing well and so is Ford so Walters in a dunce. I'm sure things will yo-yo back and forth in the coming years.

That's his dad iirc. The one we got is 23. https://www.bluebombers.com/players/matthew-jaworski/169347/

Ford with his 2nd pick, said it last week the Bombers D really misses him

Always.

Yeah that will stop the bleeding. Don't bother acquiring better dbs, lbs, or ol. Or maybe they should all wear glasses. It worked for Castillo.

Sometimes coaches can't help themselves, Als moving the ball decide on a gadget play that's slow developing and gets picked

No worries... I'm sure they'll look fantastic in their next game and will get that first win....

Now do a receiver!

Great news for Jets fans Kelly Hrudey's replacement on Calgary Flames broadcasts h...It appears that Sportsnet has already chosen a replacement for Kelly Hrudey on Calgary Flames regional television broadcasts.

RedBlacks may not win this game, but at least they showed up and Maier has completed some nice passes that his receivers hung onto.

Redblacks just cant make the plays when they have to. Dropped int. Missed wide open pass. 0 points that should be 14.

We stole one. If we could've stopped ourselves from turning it over 5 times, it'd have been a comfortable win. As it is, the turnovers are the story of the night. 2 of the picks were just brutal "what was he thinking?" tosses. And it's a shame because the defence obviously felt like they had something to prove after their disaster in Calgary and they were in fact awesome last night. 4-4 after our first 7 on the road, so we're home again next week right? Nope. Lots to work on (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) before we can even try to make a case for being in the upper tier, but likely we're best of the bottom 6.

Go back if you have the time and know how and see I gave Osh praise and credit...when and where it was warranted....and when it stopped being warranted...I dont stick my head in the dirt like many and cling to the yeah but's 2...3 yrs ago does matter....as it is a direct correlation to what the current issues are....It's funny that we had Danny Mac when we won....and now...We have had several other conantations of a scouting dept as well both when we won...2...3 yrs ago...and now....BUT.......there is one constant...and that would be Osh...power of deduction needs to be done 1 by one As for Walter's...he doesn't go on the road in the U.S and bird dog...He will watch CIS ball and he negotiates the deals...But of all the scouting team he does the least in refards to turning over stones...going to mini camps...attending regional combines down south...as well as attending independent ones...Thats not his role A guy as smart as you should have already known that...No? And guys cut who aren't immediately signed elsewhere is just a nonsense point...just like all the other teams, as they have their own staff who they have invested time and money into and trust in, and use their own resources..... and wont scrap heap other teams cuts right after camp...let alone by season mid point...thats also one the reason's we lost one of the best up and comer scouting guru's who chose to follow TG as opposed to stay here and put time and effort into his off-season to just watch his handiwork get shuttled out the door with nary a chance in lieu of a HC's favorites...and aging out inferior vets and ZC got hurt wose than MBT and Osh refused to pull him and we got royally arse whipped in an embarrasing loss...so whats your point?...Right...you have none other than to combat me and lose...again....please continue as the forum enjoys it Go back to your usual "he's cooked" retort on players....it's about all you got dunno...as that seems polar opposite to our draft strategy

I'll take the blame for Bryant. Without fail, anytime my wife buys a new jersey, that player is either traded, has a career ending injury or retires. She wanted to get a Bryant jersey 2 years ago and I told her not to because he still had gas in the tank. My bad - should have bought her one for Christmas and this whole mess could have avoided!

raw Talent it self is almost never the issue. Elsbury has no gap in talent behind any C in this league. Vaval is one of the most talented guys in the league but doesnt have a fit on D or O. With great coaching though, even adequate really, you make use of what you have. And bring out the best in your players. Almost no one is playing there best ball or even close to it. That isn’t a player issue, that’s coaching. We cut guys who other teams use. And often use better then us, despite us having had them in the room for a lot longer time. player quality is an issue at some spots, mainly because our roster is clogged with dead weight. One of the realities of scouting is the miss rate is high, and un predictable. Because of this you have to flood positions with new guys in order to find the ones worth developing. who will grow with coaching and reps. I think reese is one of those guys, but look at the volume of talented pass rushers it took to find him. The few guys with a real talent disparity are ones like korny who is at best a fringe player. Another major factor in recruiting, is you have to know the fit for your need. like we don’t need a speedy catch and run 5’8 170 lbs wr right now, if that’s all bring in you see screwed. And as brady said, the players don’t even know what the Os concept is supposed to be. This late in the season to not know at that level, you can imagine the position the scouts were in during the months leading up to training camp. Now, i’m not excusing walters or the scouts. I do agree we haven’t down a good job of bringing in guys who jump off the page. But when the systems on O and D are as flawed as they are, and you have log jams filling a good portion of the roster with old guys who can’t play but won’t lose spots, you also can’t fairly evaluate the job done by the front office. I’ve said it before, bad teams cut good players for the wrong reasons. And they cling to bad players for bad reasons too. Good and great teams find value in those cuts. Until we fix our systems, we will continue to fail at identifying using and developing players. We are a bad team, no matter the record or areas of success. We have no plan to create a win condition, and we have no tactics or execution to achieve those win conditions. On O or D. We are just fumbling through throwing random crap at the wall and hoping it will work. Our wins haven’t been created by us, they have happened to us. Same as unforced turn overs vs forced turn overs. The good news is that most teams in the league right now, are also bad. And frankly, atleast 3 are much farther from being good than us. Film study at this point is redundant. Both in the season and in the tenure of our systems/coaches. The fix, can be done with out film study. You could after today’s game, no matter it’s out come, begin installing changes that would drastically improve our team. We all know those changes, at this point. The mafia may not admit it, but they know it too. I look at how people are viewing our pass pro around the league. Talking about not having the time needed, but no one says big stan’s name. No one wants to besmirch his legendary career. Be it cjob, pregame with walby, the freep, 3dn, cfl.ca or tsn, no one is willing to say what is clear to be seen by even the most casual fan. He is brutal now. Hes getting almost 2 penalties a game, and getting destroyed with giving up pressures. He’s beaten with speed, power, technique, motor, every thing. Last year, you could beat him with speed, And some moves. But not with power, and not with motor. Not with any competent pass rush move. Now, he’s a free path to the back field. He’s not a turnstile, he’s a screen door from a trailer in a hurricane. No one from out side the team wants to say it, so they watch in relative silence. Waiting for the team to do, what any other team would’ve done long ago.

especially when reviewing film you either cant see the deficiency...wont admit it...or refuse to believe it....like us And further to that...that maybe the way we prep guys...our scheme and how you deploy them....aka put them in right position to succeed really really sucks...and deficient players are actually victims of their coaching...or lack there of and maybe not that bad....there is that aspect too I know you wanna lay most blame on Walters and the scouts and shield Osh and his deficiencies...but end of day he has the most control of the roster...game day and PR...decisions made in a game or leading up to it...Not Walters or the scouts, and he is control of how we prepare or at the least overseeing how his assistants are preparing and maybe act on something he see's isn't ideal...if he even has a clue..Thats a head coaches job and a key responibility. He is responsible for pretty much the end product...and well.....we've seen recent results....and the why's for it and we do neither...or have a real hard time identifying...and we already know for most part Osh wont fix anything with a player...especially one he likes or is a longer tenured vet

Exactly.....For some taking the blinders off would be a travesty....Stick with the status quo and things will all work out would/should be their mantra...Change and going down a different road can actually bring success .....but you'll never know until you try something new ... A few players sitting on our pr and roster would whole heartedly agree with that

Watching Montreal play, they will devastate us. Might be the first team to hit triple digits!
