Wanna-B-Fanboy got a reaction from Wideleft in US Politics
Russians just paid this dude $1,000,000... for what?
Ooooh Rudy who are these people you are hanging with? You can't soar like an Eagle, Rudy- if you hang with Turkeys.

2011 was my first year as a season ticket holder so it'll always hold a special place in my heart.
That said... I much prefer the blue collar, grind it out, shut-up-and-play style of D we fielded for the 2019 playoffs. It was ruthless and majestic at the same time.
What I find interesting between the two teams is the difference down the stretch... 2011 got off to a torrid start (7-1), but never could rekindle that magic. They won the East, so getting into the Grey Cup wasn't particularly difficult (first round bye, had to win 1 game against a 0.500 Tabbies team).
2019 also got off to a great start (5-0), faced even more adversity (lost our starting QB) but pulled it together down the stretch instead of fading away. The 2019 squad certainly took the road less traveled... and did so in glorious underdog fashion.

Is there a bigger racist POS than this guy?

This is a point often overlooked. I mentioned it several times in this thread. Elements of the fbi WERE biased. They DID leak. But it was to hurt Hilary.
they forced Comey to make that stupid statement about hilary’s emails that arguably have the election to trump. And Rudy knew about it.
The only “scum” in the fbi helped trump

Dickenson and Hufnagel both touched him - thus he was golden immediately.

It's really too bad... it would've been nice to see what Willy 5 years ago could do on this current team...

I proudly wore my Swaggerville shirt every week that year.
It was a very fun year - an oasis in a dessert of horrible years. It was flanked by Doug Berry's unceremonial ousting after a terribly diappointing 2008, the Mike Kelly fiasco of 2009, and the 4-14 Lapo/Mack rookie campaign, and was followed up by an even more disappointing 2012 that saw Lapo unceremoniously shown the door, the most disastrous year in Bomber history that I know of (to christen a new stadium, to boot) in Burke's 2013 year, and O'Shea's extremely forgettable first two years here with Drew Willy and no stinkin' playoffs.
I don't understand the flack that the 2011 group got for bringing a little fun to what was otherwise a very dark cloud over the franchise. These years encompassed most of my fandom, too.

Mine too Piggy... mine too. At first I am a little sad that she doesn't share my fandom... then I'm like "Oh well... we're ******* GREY CUP CHAMPS!!!
Yeah, when Mike Jones defended that pass to Mike Jones- Mike Jones makes the catch, and takes a step while almost securing the football, Mike Jones bats it out of Mike Jones' hands- the replay on that Mike jones on Mike Jones play was incredible.
MIke Jones had himself one hell of a game.

I' am starting to think that Lapo's Offensive schemes and plays were very creative and far from predictable... I think it was his play calling.

Wanna-B-Fanboy got a reaction from Tracker in 2019-20 CFL Offseason
Both of these examples are more of: shitty roster management and shittier talent along the o-line than a gamble on the quarterback themselves.
Reilly was sacked on average 5 tomes a game for the first half of the season and was hit more than twice that amount and hurried even more.... you can't produce under that kind of duress- take Dane in the GC as a prime example. Once Reilly got better protection, he was producing much better...
Wily was a pretty decent QB, then our in-line became a sieve and Wily was abused and violated on a weekly basis... the Bombers broke Wily, he was never the same after that. I still remember that game vs Hamilton where he got rag-dolled and spun around and was clocked in the head... we totally ruined that QB.

Simoni Lawrence did what Simoni Lawrence does on Willy during a game here (un-penalized) that basically put the nail in the coffin for his time here, I believe.

Over the course of a whole season, Tim Burke's 2011 D was better.......but when it mattered most, Richie Hall's crew got it done.
