Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs Calgary
wbbfan replied to Taynted_Fayth's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The jets support also doesnt come with out cost to other sports, mainly the blue. Last year half the games chat had tons of jets talk and jets score updates etc. We could, and would have supported a contending blue team to the tune of sell outs in that stadium every game prior to the jets coming back. -
QFT. Weve hit and miss with some FAs, but man did we ever hit with dressler. I wish he had come over sooner.
-
Idk when it started but the oldest one i recall is joe morgan a saftey we got via the supplemental draft from south florida in i wanna say 2003
-
i know the riders who were low on NI talent didnt miss him and he was demoted from starting mlb and not given a look last year despite awful front 7 play.
-
Just reading a bit it sounds like it was as much personal as performance related. Though no one out side the argos room can say for sure. It seems like he is not coaching now, which is too bad he was a very good DC imo.
-
It felt like the fans in general supported reinbold for a good while, It was a pretty clear talent on the field problem imo. It did wear out though. People wanted burke to stay for the D he ran. And felt his D could carry the team. Iirc he had consideration before lapo was hired for HC. And some one interviewed him (maybe hammy?) When ever a coach excels at a CO spot they end up with hype and hope for becoming a great hc. Id take burke right now as our DC if they let him run his system. Reinbold is a good teams co. I wouldnt want kelly selling peanuts at the stadium.
-
so in other words chris jones 1.0
-
disregard hes handling it internally...
-
burke should never have been a HC. Reinbold came into a team that was allready cratered. On and off the field im going with kelly.
-
that face mask needs to be sent into the league. Another rider who needs a fine.
-
You could say that of DD and lowry as well. Raps have been regular season warriors and play off fluffers. A stretch 4 and a GOOD 3 and D sf would propel this team far. Though a better 6th man scorer would be great.

On offense; Establish harris and dont forget about him. Keep the offense rolling, low amount of 2 and outs. Stretch the field. and protect the ball. On D; Keep the pressure we saw in the 2nd half up. Stuff the run again. Limit long drives. Force turn overs again. On teams, pretty much do the exact same as we did vs sask. Kicking and coverage was phenomenal. Returning was good with some flashes though not great. -
they agreed to terms, didnt hear if it was made official yet. 3 years 65m. They probably look to move ibaka full time to C, and bring in a stretch 4 to hit 3s and spread the floor for DD/lowry. Id like to see l-nog get the back up minutes. Carrols days have to be numbered.
-
Id still take bc/edms wrs over the riders. Those 3 are the elite groups of wr though imo.

Iirc demski was just a slight hammy strain i think he will be ok. They better keep him healthy for us for next year. -
He did miss a chunk and the raps never really got back to their rhythm. Jonas is where i suspect it will come from. I imagine they move him for some one that fits with lowry n dd better. Too bad id love to see lowy and jonas work the offense inside out like the raps used to.
-
The way regions name refs and judges is sickening. Mazz and yama need to be banished from any pro refing. Hendricks is such a joke. That guy needs his walking papers.
-
9.5 games back is a crazy large hole to try and dig out of. Both bo bichette and vlady jr named to the minor league all star game. I imagine at some point after that we finally see them promoted a level. Here is hoping we dont try to rush things an do another marlins/mets deal.
-
lowry is there no1. DD has evolved into a stellar player no doubt. But lowrys on the ball D, offensive set up and offensive diversity is what makes the team go. The raps going a year with out DD can make the play offs the raps with out lowry dont. Its a lot of money, but they had to do it. I dont see them being able to add to the core with out a heavy re tooling. But if u re tool lowry is who you build around. Didnt they have a deal in place to fix that a couple years back? pretty much. Im not a fan the direction the league has taken but you cant stop it.

Denmark is still a darn good wr as well. His catch was pretty tough as well. Jfg bobbled one in blanket tight coverage but aside from that our wrs hands were really good, and they made a bunch of plays when given the chance. the return to lull after that is a concern though as well. Late game heroics is usually the strength of our offense. We had a bunch of chances with field position to seal the game and failed to do so. But it is the first game, and coming off a buy. We likely are not as good as the 6 straight scores, nor as bad as the i dont even want to know how many 2 and outs last night. Consistent offensive out put that grinds yardage and top would be nice. But if we score 3 or more tds a game that makes up for a lot.

yes 2014. hurl came over in 2015.

I think the balance this year is incredible. Coaching/management will limit the riders more then players this year. That D is pretty thin on names but every year a bunch of guys come into the league and shine. The stamps havent looked like the stamps of the last few years. This looks to be a fantastic year for the cfl. Also, our offense was mia for almost a half but still managed to put up 43 points. And nichols cashed in 4 tds. Should have been 2 more too which is scary. Maybe if they get more aggressive with the play call as the year goes on we will see a lot more tds and a lot less fgs. -

I expect it as much of this season to be a closely fought game. Dont think we win but i do think we play and perform better then we did against sask. -
good stuff, how was traffic after the game?
-
Why don't we use Weston Dressler as a rturner?
