The clueless loudmouth shtick is overdone on this site

dunno how long you've been here but.. this is basically his shtick

I've never seen a team miss the playoffs at 16-2 so no, this is not a must-win game.  Must-win starts when we hit loss number 10 and no sooner.

As posted by Ed Tait "it is absolutely ridiculous to refer to this as a must win game".... Jesus people... Its week 3!!

The Bombers are making two changes to the Squadron tonight and I'm super pumped to see both of them play. Jackson Jeffcoat is gonna show some kind of awesome tonight and who doesn't want to see Knox hitting constantly. That guy can hit.
I almost feel sorry for the Argos...

Can we get the run game going? Harris has 89 yards in two games and both he and the OL have said they have to be better.

CFL GAME NOTES
….The 2017 season has been remarkable in that each team has started their #1 QB in EVERY game.
-To date only John White (EDM: 104 yards on June 24th) has a 100-yard game.
-The four winning clubs had a total of just 3 Turnovers compared to 10 by losing teams and held an edge with far fewer penalties with only 24 compared to 36 by the opposition.
-Rushing is down - average per game has dropped to only 150 yards per game, just 19% of the total yards gained (rushing + passing). This is the lowest proportion of the total in the entire history of the CFL.
-The record for consecutive unbeaten starts by a CFL QB is now 19 for Bo Levi Mitchell after last week’s Calgary win.
-Current FG Made Streaks: Sean Whyte and Justin Medlock are now each at 24 in a row dating back to 2016.
-Teams have attempted 78 Field Goals in 2017, an average of 6.5 per game. This is the highest per game average in 26 years (1991: 6.7 per game).
-Ricky Ray will be making his 204th career start (105-97-1) and lifetime vs Winnipeg he is 13-10-1 in 24 starts. More specifically, Ray is 4-8 in 12 starts in Winnipeg 
-This start for Nichols will be his 16 straight for the Bombers. The last Winnipeg QB to start 16 games in a row was way back in 2008 when Kevin Glenn started 30 consecutive games across 2006-2008.
-Victor Butler and Shawn Lemon: Have combined for 9 sacks and 12 QB Pressures thus far

Bombers should not be feeling any pressure. They're 1-1 on the season. Just go out there and play solid football, and everything else will work itself out. Way too much hand-wringing going on around here.
Great night for some ball -- jealous of all of you who get to go to the game!! I'll be cheering loud from west-central AB! 
#GameDayWeAllPlay #ForTheW

Actually the defense hasn't been that bad.
We rank 1st in yds/game allowed rushing (an area we needed to shore up)
1st in interceptions and have played 1 less game and middle of road in sacks (again in one less game)
We last in yds/game allowed passing though, and in points allowed, though that is a bit scewed as we only played 2 games and if we have a decent outing tomorrow it will  bring us somewhere in the middle.
Some of the passing yards allowed and points against would most likely be better if Johnson was in, or as it seems anybody but Roc as well as 7 points were on a pic 6 too, so not the fault of the defense.  So after 2 games people shouldn't be alarmed on where things are at defensively until 5-6 games are played, then revisit.
The run defense is only going to get better I think once they get rolling, with  Loffler/Randle/Heath you can't do any better than that in the league and Alexander has been a real nice addition and Moe is probably the best SAM in the league...top 2 at worst
. Fix up that other HB spot and this defense will be dominant. It's just a matter of how our other 2 linebacker's pan out, and if we have a dominant d-line and a group of ball hawking DB's our linebackers don't need to be all-world...assignment sound, tough and smart will do just fine

What a clueless assertion. Are you actually trying to say not a single player on defense is good?
Westerman, Nevis, Leggett, Randle, Heath, Loffler... Six players off the top of my head that are all damn good.

Our defense is not "really bad".....they were pretty good last week until they got gassed from being on the field too long. Ridiculous to say if they're really good or really bad at this early point of the season.

cool story bro. 
 
Wild is one of the better WILs in the league imo.  not sure where you are getting your stuff from but the guys a gamer and nowhere near as bad as you're trying to portray.

Exactly. Everyone at the CFL head office could have agreed a 9-game suspension was warranted but current CBA wouldn't allow it.
I'm only speculating because I'm not sure what the CBA would allow, what the PA would allow and what the feelings of the Commish and the brain trust are.

the issue isn't the suspension handed down, it's the current state of the PA and how much it will "allow". The rules need to be changed, so harsher penalties can be handed down, uncontested, when warranted...

Scenarios:
One-game suspension and Hill does not appeal.
or
Two-game suspension and Hill does appeal, like the Carter gong show of last season.
 
Which is better for league? What if the CFL didn't think it could win an appeal on a two-game suspension?

at no point! they shouldn't ever have to be held accountable for making a bad call in regards to getting their ass kicked on the field.  after the game, by a review board? sure.. in game, nope.  to suggest otherwise is completely asinine!
 
 

where in all that stuff is there  any indication that he wanted to sign here? I can't find anything.
"going after a player" doesn't mean the player wants to be on your team.
again..... He took a pay cut to sign with Popp and Trestman.
Maybe Knox will be just as good as Bear Woods. maybe he'll be better than Bear Woods.
We already know he hits hard, and and is a good tackler.
we've played two games, won one of them, had elements  of a good defence, and people are dumping all over the team.
Have to at them.
 

Wild is looked upon as a smart, aggressive LBer who can cover on passing plays. As mentioned, the guy makes plays. But I guess this is an attempt to smudge the Scouting staff. 
Lets first see if no one else can play on the Wild side before we condemn anybody's recruiting...

Ehhh... not so sure about that one.  He's been the heart of the defence while healthy.  Was on pace for 105 tackles last year which would have put him 4th in the league behind Elimimian, Bear Woods, and Bighill.
Wild's problem is he can't stay healthy.

ok there post police.  like your posts are always chalk full of substance lol.

k, wait.. what?  you have an issue with my posting?  (which is a weird thing to bring up in a post where we were discussing not quoting a mile long post to begin with)  but actually, kiss my ass lol.  I've gone away from the "classic" post like as you've said for awhile now.  I've tried to add substance to most of my replies..
 
 

I feel cheated more often now than when there was no video review at all.  It's broken.

No. Just no. That never happened.

A tough first decision for the new Commish, but the quick response and the promise of a new policy is a good start for Randy baby...
So, Singleton gets an eviction (half game day pay) plus a full day's pay deducted. Plus all eyes ? ? will be on Will..

We played the best team in the league & lost. The Stamps will defeat a lot of teams this season. It's Game 2 of an 18 game schedule. Relax already BigBlue.
