  1. It's not just Mauldin. It's the last couple of seasons. Both Osh & Walters have no contract next season.
  2. If we keep Walters expect another useless off season of non signings & defections. Not much of a risk to trade for Mauldin. He'd have helped us for a playoff run. We could have had the guy for a fourth rounder. Now we lose Jones. Walters has to go.
  3. Same for Zach. The play by play announcer for the Ti Cats back in 1972-75 is a member of my Facebook page CFL History. Ealey was a very good passer until he came to Winnipeg. He told me that Ealey suffered a shoulder/arm injury in 1973 before he was traded to the Bombers. The Ti Cats kept it a secret so when the Bombers traded Don Jonas for Ealey they never knew of the injury. It took him over 2 years to recover so he was just about healed up when he was traded to Toronto a year later. It would explain why Ealey played so badly as a Blue Bomber. You'd think the Bombers would have done a physical so I don't know why Ealey's injury was never discovered. Then again, the GM at the time Earl Lunsford was so upset with Jonas criticizing him in the media at the time. I think Lunsford would never have voided that trade & just didn't care. Out of spite Lunsford wanted him out of Winnipeg.
  4. Laura Diakin is a much more superior host. She's a true professional who seems to understand the game better than Kate. She should be the full time host.
  5. Then you have Marshall Ferguson gushing about the Bills telling viewers they're his favourite team. Imagine an announcer doing a CFL game saying he cares more about the NFL than the league he covers.
  6. We have the nicest uniforms in the CFL but we refuse to wear them. I put that on th equipment manager who probably gets to pick the color combos. Whoever makes these decisions can be summed up in one sentence, "You must not be drinking enough".
  7. Don't agree. Streveler can stay on the sidelines. he is what he is... a gadget qb.
  8. What? No way Osh would do that. The difference between Zach & Strev at qb is like watching someone jump off a 1500 m cliff. We're hooped if Zach gets hurt going into the playoffs. The need to find a veteran backup qb next season who can actually throw.
  9. If Wheatfall comes back keep him at wide receiver & move Clercius inside permanently. No speed but huge target who'd thrive at slot.
  10. Did you see the look on Brady's face after Streveler scored our last TD? He didn't look happy at all. I think he expected to carry the ball. Even though it was an RPO.
  11. I remember that game. That was Ealey's last game as Bomber QB. He was traded to the Argos & the Dieter Brock era began.
  12. Bierness & another one of her frigging BC roadtrip rants next year. Maybe if TSN got as excited as she does about covering a Lions game as she did the other 8 teams maybe every league game would be sold out everywhere.
  13. That would be perfect.
  14. Ray Jauch was cut throat. He never hesitated to cut a veteran if he felt he could bring in somebody better. I remember when he traded popular Winnipeggers Gord Patterson & Leo Ezerins to Hamilton in 1980. The fans were not happy.
  15. Yeah, forgot about Thornton. A CFL All Star in his prime as well. But he never fit in so Grant dispatched him to Toronto. Made sure Trick couldn't hurt the Bombers on the field. . I'm sure more than you believe.
  16. The scheme for Streveler would be part of the overall playbook. Just not the part zach would run. The problem isn't the change up of plays to suit Strev. It's his lack of reps in practice when Zach starts. Streveler can't refine & polish up those plays so they work. It's like moving into a new house that may be livable inside as the water, plumbing, electricity & heat have been installed but the inside hasn't been finished or painted & there's no carpet on the floor. Just the basics so the plays are rough.
  17. Streveler can't run? He did score a TD on the ground & looked good doing it last week. I think he's getting his legs back but his arm deserted him years ago.
  18. Just watching Titans on Netflix. Robin has turned violent who loves to badly hurt people. Blamed Batman for changing him. Afraid his violent side will eventually lead him to kill others so he left Gotham City for Detroit to start over. The scene where he stabs a bad guy in the nuts with garden shears was nasty.
  19. Grant always played his best players even if it meant parting wih some icons like Gerry James whom he exiled to Saskatchewan in 1963. He played no favourites with anyone other than Ploen, Gray & Lewis who earned his trust.
  20. Zach can complete 3 passes in his sleep. Strev needs a lot more work.
  21. My point is one guy hates it & another doesn't. Consult the players & nothing will ever get done. The Governors want change & they're going to get it.
  22. Those soft chairs by the fireplace sure look comfy at the Old Boys Club. I mean, the players worked SO HARD for that win last Saturday, they need some nice chairs to sit on.
  23. Calgary's not that far. An hour direct to Seattle from here by Westjet & Alaska Airlines. I've flown down to Seattle to see family before on a Friday afternoon & flown back Sunday night. If Seattle is having a home game, the plane is full of Calgarians both ways. I'd say a few hundrd people have Seahawks season tickets from here, Including a former player I coached as well as my orthopedic surgeon.
  24. With Streveler we should be using the Wildcat. We have an OC with a pee sized brain. And a Head Coach that is maybe the size of quarter. Move him & Zach around & Streveler can take direct snaps outside of the qb position in the Wildcat.
