  1. those bleep bleep bleeeeeeeeeeeeps thought they would pull some garbage in the last game and series and not have to see us again. Oh how the tables have turned. I seriously hope the umps are smart and keep the games under control.
  2. Pretty much. Virtually no chance they play this week any way. With the waiver wire gone these guys probably have a decent amount of offers right now. Chance to star on some teams, and contribute on contenders. Maybe they want to play out the year and try the nfl, maybe get a big deal for the remainder of the year plus next year etc.
  3. We dont, but thats a symptom of the greater offensive problem. Awful calls and design. +1 pound the ball. run 25-30 times a game minimum with both backs and watch our TOP soar.
  4. coombs has been a WR in TO. Hed come in imop for lochard as a wr and back up harris at RB.
  5. Never gonna consistently put up 6-10 runs in modern baseball. Pitchers are too strong and the low strike is called too much. Plus tulo, saunders, travis, martin and bautista missed a TON of time this year. 175 games combined. In the last 10 games in September the jays offense averaged 4.2 runs a game while they gave up an average of 2.7. But They only won half of those games. The bullpen was awful. Major swings is what you get with big fly offenses.
  6. No kidding. That following a hand full of trades including the willy trade which is border line block buster with how much TO gave up. Oh man thatd be soo sweet.
  7. This is hands down the craziest late season transaction period ive ever seen. No idea what toronto is thinking. Id take any of these guys.
  8. late September with an offense like the jays its better that way though. Because it isnt sustainable for long.
  9. Might happen any way. If the reports they dont want to pay EE are true, and bautista has only been consistently hurt of late. Not much of a baseball purist, but I dont like the suicide series of 1 game. Hes been soo erratic this year. If they are going to have any chance to win a series though hes gotta pitch like he did when he came back last year. Not my first choice but a good game from the offense could cover for him.
  10. contracts actually protect players who are healthy from being placed on the IR. We cant keep hiding him on the 2 game because we have too many game time decision injuries too frequently. He hits the PR, hes gonna be claimed by another team that day.
  11. Yeah he can. Would love to see him in for the next game smith/mcduffie/dressler misses. If every one is healthy and performing then its a great situation to be in. Mcduffie has shown some really good flashes at wr. Keeping him at DI and rotating him in at WR while returning might have the best effect while he gets used to starting at wr.
  12. while you offer none, and no counter points only none sequiturs and ad hominems. Probably are going to back into the play offs at worse. And I believe that wade will extend mos and walters. Should he? Thats not so easy.
  13. I think its as simple as he makes the play offs he keeps his job he misses and he doesnt. And despite the last two games I think we make the play offs.
  14. the huge majority of the start of the game is preparation and coaching. The first drive on offense is scripted and practiced. The nervous energy at the start is real, but for the majority of players its an asset imop. We got away with poor starts, kicking too many field goals, playing half a game, and giving up long drives through out the win streak. The last few weeks where sask was at our throat, then TO was rolling against us and into the loses weve seen the same kinds of problems. Now the turn overs have mostly dried up and weve looked bad again. But such things are to be expected from a shell shocked fan base that has seen too many awful years in a row and had though this year was just another one allready. Not to mention these fans now have the jets to cheer for and its that time of year. People turn toxic and negative quickly and easily. Turning back not so much. Plus MOS tearing a strip off the team late, seemingly trying to fire up the flat squad says a lot. Weve never seen him fiery like that on the side line before. Hes allways stuck to his, they are pro's they allways play hard and prepare.
  15. as dragon said we suffered from chronic bad tacklers last night, even from our best tacklers. That said calgary racked some a ridiculous edge in TOP some thing like 15 minutes more then we had. And when defenders get tired, tackling is the first thing to go. Hes came up with a massive one on one tackle against toronto its not some thing that would be expected of him. Nor would the early missed tackle that got calgary a first down instead of punting by ian wild. No one player can have this loss pinned on them. We spotted calgary a 2 td lead and hardly showed up at all in the first half. You just cant do that. You know your playing flat when MOS pulls the team aside mid game to tear a strip off them. Fogg got beat like a red headed step child, and really none of our dbs looked good. Not even mo. I think its coaching. How you start the game is a huge portion coaching and preparation. Its some thing that mos can learn and improve on though. But this junk of they are pros they are allways prepared and play hard has to go out the window. Even he now has to see that simply isnt the case.
  16. is it flanders fault we got him the ball like 5 times in that first half?
  17. Not nearly as fun after a loss, and 2 in a row but here it is. 1 Timothy flanders. 12-65 on runs 5-63 on catches. didnt get nearly enough touches in the first half but he was a monster in the 2nd half. 2 Ian wild. Played really well a side from one missed tackle. 10 tackles 1 st 1 sack 3 Nichols is close to 3rd star, medlock again some good punts a monster 54 yarder and 5 field goals. Kevin fogg too got beat a bunch in the first half, but great returns and a big forced fumble. Im going with fogg but its really close. HH Gonna say westerman who had a big sack while the game was close to force a punt after not having a sack in the last 5 games.
  18. Considering our system isnt set up to funnel to a guy like him, taking him out of the line up for wild or bass and paying him a fortune to be here one year at a time is a waste. That money could be much better spent other places. Even then we dont have the ni depth at lber for that. And thats one spot. Even at that point we'd need an extra DI free'd up to have the back up. we have zero qbs under contract for next year, suhk chung is a fa and we have a bunch of money tied up in other vets. We be taking wild/bass out and paying a ton of money for a year to year guy whose hardly played since he was here to what? move kohlert for mcduffie starting or sheppard?
  19. would be nice, but not really viable. Not while starting 2 imps on the OL. We just have to do a better job finding NI wrs and fitting them into our system. Jfg has shown hes better then his last year and a bit, he just doesnt fit into what we do. same with kohlert.
  20. when you have to stretch out to make a catch, or dive to make an attempt your vulnerable. our wrs have seen a whole lot of that this year. I prefer good players to size.
  21. That grade is his over all but yeah, there numerical system is kinda funny. Like baseball. 99% of prospects are ranked low 60 high 50s number but the difference between a potential no 1 guy, a potential first round pick and a guy picked after the first 10 rounds. they score 30-80. But a scout who over blows a top pick like him loses his job when the guy is a miss. Even though you miss more then you hit. So they protect them selves by being understated on top guys.
  22. bombers favored by 3.5 points, im betting this is the game of the year for us. Close fought, full 4 quarters against a good hungry team.
  23. no joke. Soo much hope for him, such great physical tools. Soo little football player. it was a shame. Iirc we let him go and he went some place else and had a sick 2-3 games then disappeared for good. No question mos had to live with a banged up willy so long even john wayne bobbitt even feels bad for him.
  24. Yeah and to consider he was originally a DL which are even smaller usually then OL is crazy. Taking a quick glance only a hand full of active OL currently are 5-10 % under 300lbs as listed. Michael couture whose listed 285 seems to be amongst the smallest and his knock was of course needs to gain weight.
