    Blue_Dragoon reacted to B-F-F-C in Bombers sign Geoff Gray to a 3 year deal   
    This deal may have been the reason we didn't make a play before the trade deadline last week.  Gray could be a long time player for us vs. short term solution at receiver.

    Blue_Dragoon got a reaction from blueingreenland in BOMBERS -Playoffs - ESKIMOS Out   
    Geez, BC just does not want to go away. If the Bombers somehow miss the playoffs at this point I would lose my mind.
    Until the Bombers officially clinch a spot I am going to be a very nervous fan, regardless of us being in the driver's seat right now.

    I remember that guy. His name was Herb. My understanding was that he was living in a box under a bridge, but then he invented a device which translated baby babble into coherent words for parents and made it big again.

    Blue_Dragoon got a reaction from basslicker in Edmonton Eski-dolts @ Regina Ridirts: Who Do We Want?   
    If the weather is bad we definitely want Saskatchewan. I've seen enough Kevin Glenn playing here in November to know that he is terrible in cold weather. Add in that Saskatchewan doesn't really commit to the run and I think a nice cold game against the Riders would be the easiest path into Calgary.

    Blue_Dragoon got a reaction from SPuDS in Should this regime be on the hot seat?   
    As bad as the team looked yesterday (awful), and really for the last few weeks, I hadn't even remotely considered the prospect. I think this regime has done a fine job actually. By and large, this season has been easily the most fun and entertaining one we have had since we moved into IGF in my opinion. Not only that, until our slew of injuries, I was very much convinced that we had a legitimate shot at making a run for the Cup. The fact that this even entered my mind is a testament to how far along this team has come from when O’ Shea took over a few years back. It certainly felt good to watch the Bombers be consistently competitive this year.
    Yes, I agree the depth has obviously been exposed as a weakness, but to even be able to assemble a team of starters that were able to lead us to being easily the number 2 team in the league (pre-injuries) puts this administration leaps and bounds ahead of those of the last several administrations prior. With a good starting line up secured I have no doubt more depth will follow next season via the draft and free agency.
    Unfortunately, I also believe we will be one and done in the playoffs at this point, but I chalk that up to terrible luck and bad timing. I don’t think we can fire our front office wholesale even if a one and done scenario does happen.
    Richie Hall can go though. You’ll find no argument from me there.

    Blue_Dragoon got a reaction from JCon in Pyrrhic victory?   
    My god...
    I am thrilled with the win, but almost think I would be happier with a loss where nobody got injured.
    If some of these were as serious as they looked I think they could seriously jeopardize our playoff chances.
    On offense, our already devastated receiving corp lost its best player in Adams and it looks like it could be a bad one. This on the heels of a knicked up Dressler and Flanders. Nichols also got up wincing after a hit and looked sore all game, although he did finish.
    Then on defense we lose Walker (did he ever come back in?) and the core of our defense (IMO) Mo Leggett. Leggett's at least certainly looks serious and potentially season ending.
    Edmonton still statistically has a shot at taking second so we can't just rest the starters yet. At the very least though I hope we let our borderline players rest against TO rather than risk further injuries.  As long as we win at least one more game we are secure in second and even if we don't Edmonton has to win out, which I think is unlikely.
    Still, what a devastating win today. I hope I am just being overly pessimistic in this case.

    Blue_Dragoon got a reaction from Judd in OK, it IS Willy ...   
    Nichols' results only began to diminish after he lost nearly all of his starting receiving corps. Hard to hold that against him.
    Bond was a breath of fresh air. I'll be really annoyed if they don't stay with this version of the o-line.
