Nasty is that you? or maybe Migs? - Wow! welcome back! Someone to make fun of at last!

Nah - I agree about Ottawa, Edmonton and now the Argos - but don't think we will be able to beat the Riders in Regina next week. They are taking care of business in Toronto - something we failed to do.

Why do we need to give them the Apple? Just the roadmap would be all I would give them (and charge them for the roadmap)!

That is a good question. As for me I moved out to Calgary about 18 years ago. When I lived in the Peg (moved there from Dallas in 1981) I was true blue fan. Season tickets and all - lived and died each game. When I moved to Calgary for a number of years I maintained my season tickets in the Peg even though I also have season tickets for the Stamps. Then over the say, last 5 years or so I have become more or less emotionally detached. I don't watch all the games - I tape them and then decide if I want to watch them afterwards. I use to yell and scream at the TV (drove my better half nuts!). Now I watch the game with more or less a detached overview. If they win I am happy - if they lose; well life does go on. I think I have changed into more of a CFL football supporter than a Bomber supporter. In an hour or so I will be watching the Edmonton-Ottawa game and then the Rider-Argo game mixed in with some NCAA football. So bottom line I have moved from a live or die with the Bombers to more of casual fan.

just to be clear - you are not wrong. lots of issues in Bomber land. They have always been there just masked with a few easy wins against bad teams. Now we are one of the bad teams heading no where in the fast lane.

and our DB's would run away from it!

He probably got lost on the way to the booth or rest room and ended up on the sidelines - would have been better if he ended up on the Hamilton sideline!

I guess we shall see next week. I think our OL is better but our DL and theirs are pretty close to each other. They do have a better receiving corps and a far better secondary. And to add to that they do not have Richie Hall - that by itself is worth at least 2TD's for them. I think it will be a close game but in the end the Richie Hall defense will yet again crap the bed!

I don't think you can embarrass this franchise! Wade Miller and Kyle Walters are beyond being embarrassed. As long as 25K or so pay for tickets each and every home game they will just keep trucking along. New HC here and there, new OC and DC here and there. Few good players here and there - No Grey Cups since I can not remember when. They just keep trucking along same same.

Saskatchewan has a better QB and a far better DC - even if they had a Door Knob as DC. They will kick Toronto butt today - where we lost and we go into their barn soon and will probably keep the score close until Richie Hall fails yet again. Hence my thinking the Riders are a better team than the Bombers. As for me today is a great day 3 CFL games on, lots of NCAA football and tomorrow I get to watch the Bears-Vikings game along with the Browns and Pats play. Great weekend for football here in Calgary. I also just purchased two tickets for the Grey Cup! Not sure who will be there but thinking Calgary vs. Hamilton.

The Hamilton team played more conservative in the second half - They full well knew that playing against a Richie Hall defense they could crank it up again any time they wanted to. Hamilton is just a far far better team on both sides of the ball than Winnipeg, as is Calgary and Sask as far as I am concerned. You will never ever win anything of importance as long as you have Richie Hall as your DC. There is no way in the world we could have pulled this one out. I doubt we will win many more. Make the playoffs and one and done is what is in store for this club. Maybe they will fall into the cross over and then get pounded out east.

I agree - I think the game will be a hard played game and Lawrence will be there but I think the refs will be keeping a very close eye on him and the first time anything of major consequence happens he will be gone. What the Bombers have to watch out for is taking shots at him and getting penalties of their own. This game IMHO will be very close and may depend on a Medlock FG to win it - and given his season so far would be nice to see him win one for us. Also would be nice to see a Richie Hall Defense not give up the ghost in the second half.

Good post. I had not heard much all week regarding Strev's condition. I do think he was on the gimp during the second half last week and if his running ability is degraded then we may be in a jam against the Cats.

Yeah! Ah Nope ! Doubt MOS will change all that much. I do believe that if we have a good lead going into the 4th and Richie Hall screws the pooch yet again! MOS will not be happy!

in my opinion - None! Nada! LaPo is already penciled in as a HC somewhere. I think they will get into the playoffs - do their normal one and done and then disburse to parts unknown.

Got to say I took an in country R&R at China Beach (in Danang) and the beach was something I will remember always. Was nicer that the beach in Sidney when I did an out of country R&R after my first tour.

Sorry dude - trying to blame this on on the ref's failure to call what Adams did is just sour grapes IMHO. The Bombers offense and defense just plain gave up the ghost in the second half. I believe the office scored 3 points in the second half and we all know what to expect from a Richie Hall Defense - Nothing more to say - A Richie Hall defense will never ever win you a Grey Cup!

OK have to ask! Why are you going to SE Asia soon? I had a fun time there (Vietnam and Cambodia- yes we were actually in Cambodia) from 1969-1971 supporting Uncle Sam's Green Machine! And that was a very very sarcastic comment from my side. Was there humping the jungle for 2 tours and part of a 3rd. Enjoy!

Amen! Richie Hall should be fired before he gets on the plane back to the Peg.

Amen! Bombers need to come out in Q3 as if was 0-0 otherwise the Als get back in the game and anything can happen.

I am with you on this one. I like what Peterman brings to the table - reminds me of a bigger Rick House.

Mr. Noeller Sir - I have been on this forum since day one. I really can not post all that often as work tends to get in the way. Today is a travel day and I am in my hotel (not in Regina or Saskatoon) but Toronto which is even harder to like. So not going anywhere soon. But thanks for the warm fuzzies!

NAH! Saskatchewan is not that bad. I have a number of clients in both Saskatoon and Regina. If I had my choice I would rather go to Saskatoon but am in Regina often on business. Great people in both cities.

IMHO as long as you have Richie Hall as your DC you will not be able to go very far. Maybe a playoff game but it will be a one and out yet again. When you need the defense to make that big stop to win a game Richie Hall is no where to be found.

I think the other game is at Regina unless I misread the schedule.
