LaPo will never be a HC again. His record is abysmal. Like I said earlier, it has nothing to do with injured qbs. It's the lousy way he calls games. And he's so conservative. So conservative that Margaret Thatcher would have more imagination with her playcalling than LaPo. He never plays to win but not to lose.

August 11, 1960. The Bombers opened the 1960 season by defeating the BC Lions 35-21 at Empire Stadium. They'd go on & win their first 9 games of the 16 game season finishing at 14-2 for the regular season.

I have no pity for TSN.

That's okay. He truly stepped it up & picked up the slack. Props to Schoen. When's the last time we've seen that??

When Stanbeck is healthy, he'll be the Als starting tailback.

Apparently, 1960 was the best of the Bomber teams from 1958-62 but the Eskimos had one last kick of the can left in them & they upset Winnipeg in the Western Final series that year. Had we beaten Edmonton, we'd probably have won 5 GC's in a row.

Why is Duron Carter returning punts & kicks? He is no risk to break one at all. Dumb coaching move. But I like it. Lol.

Jefferson & his big wing span deflected that 3rd down pass.

I can't believe I'm watching Duron Carter play.

Read #2... Media & fans ask the same questions we used to. The conservative play calling by LaPo. Not being aggressive. Kicking 2 FG's when they could have got first downs. Yes, LaPo lost Masoli but to me it's obvious that even with the veteran qb they'd be 0-6 or 1-5. As we found out here, LaPo is an overrated OC & is drowning as a HC in Ottawa. Should the RedBlacks GM throw him a lifeline or let him sink to the bottom? It won't get any better with LaPo in charge. LaPo will be fired eventually. It's inevitable. I just hope that O'Shea doesn't bring him back here. https://3downnation.com/2022/07/22/refs-ruin-the-rally-11-other-thoughts-on-ottawa-losing-to-montreal/

Rourke next year...

He's another deep ball thrower like Reilly was. He's impatient. He's a rookie. He doesn't put together 10 or 12 play drives like ZC or BLM does. As the season goes on, it's not like defenses will figure him out but figure out the deep passing schemes the Lions use.

You can't feel sorry for a guy like that. He gets paid to win. I've een nothing from Evans to think he's the long term starter for the Ti Cats.

Dubois doesn't care,.

You watch how hamstrung they will be next year when Nathan Rourke wants ZC typr salary of a half mill a year. How many of their FA's will stick around. They built their team to win this year with Rourke making $80,000 this season. They'll be in tons of salary cap trouble next season.

ME!!

Rider practice: "Where's Duke??"

Were you?? Blink played in the 2000's. not the 80's. So there goes that theory. You know what? You win. I have better things to do then get caught up in a merry go round argument like this?

Zach, this is an excellent video:

For their time, they were fit. You can't compare eras as well as you can't compare what hockey players did in comparison to football. Hate to say it but Dale died in his 50's. From cancer.

What does what Dale Hawerchuk smoking & beer drinking have to do with what players from the Bombers did to prepare for the season? Two different sports. In 1984, players in the CFL didn't show up to training camp 30 lbs overweight.

Bad career move for Ray. That was a shitty team & he was fired. He had built something in Winnipeg & just walked away for the money. Cal Murphy tweaked it & he won a championship.

Hill was always around the football. He blocked quite a few punts & FG's as I recall.
