The biggest turd is Kolonkowski. He was blocking Coatney their 350 lb NG. Then for some inexplicable reason, he abandons his block & goes to help Bryant double team the DE leaving a clear path for Coatney to hurt Collaros. Like WTF is this guy doing playing???? Obviouly, he thought that Neufeld was going to slide over & pick up Coatney. He never waited to make sure this happened. He just said Bye & now our starting qb is injured. MOS loves him so he plays but he is the worst OL in the CFL. Meanwhile a promising young Center languishes on the bench in favour of this assclown. Our qbs are in mortal danger as long as this guy keeps playing. Tui Eli needs to start. It's not even a question anymore. It's a fact. Our season could hang in the balance with this turkey being allowed to start.

Just an aside for a moment. Why is Paul laPolice talents being wasted interviewing someone from women's soccer on the sidelines? Why isn't he either in the studio or the booth so he can give viewers the benefit of his football knowledge? TSN has Britt Dort & John Lu for western games. They want to be part of the CFL broadcasts then use them. There doesn't seem to be a lot of vision or direction from the TSN producers this season. The panel is different every game. LaPo on the sidelines. Different panelists come & go. Not impressed with TSN one bit this season.

Lucky would be a short term fix. Like a band aid plus he's expensive.. It would wreak havoc with our salary cap. No thanks.

With the geo politics of today with two major conflicts going on, we shouldn't have the Olympics anymore. If they were discontinued, I'd be very happy.

Our best guys are not playing. We keep losing. What do we get? The big smirk. I haven't hit the panic button yet but seeing our offense in such disarray is very annoying. Seeing the improvement of Terrell Ford is very exciting. We may have a dominant corner in the making.

Our defense looked better today than it has all season but really benefitted from Jake Maier's overthrows of open receivers. A couple of those Stamps receivers were wide open. Really comservative play calling from Buck when throwng the ball. Brady made a difference but it's becoming obvious that he can't carry the offense all by himself. We have no vertical threat with Schoen, Lawler & Keric Wheatfeld out. We need to have an airlift of receivers coming in. Kolonkowski was manhandled by that 350 lb monster NG all night. Kolo couldn't handle him so naturally he played & Tui Eli stood on the sidelines. If you play Streveler in a gimmick offense all season then Buck shouldn't be surprised he has trouble throwing the ball. Still, we nearly won.

No surprise there.

Of course, you'll never give any credit to Cody Fajardo for anything. No matter how well he's playing. Fajardo's become an elite qb in the CFL whether you choose to be an Osterich & stick your head in the ground in denial. The Als have quietly become a power in the CFL the last 14 games & I can see them repeating as GC Champs if things keep going this way for them. Their defense is outstanding.

Football injuries are normal. But a run like this?? When the Riders suffered 9 torn achilles injuries four years ago in a pre season workout was that normal?

I never saw the game so no idea how he got hurt. Still. so many injuries it has to fall on the Head Coach at some point unless they're all non contact injuries. I did see Haba go down & it looked like no one touched him. So, who knows??? This isn't normal.

Did Schoen get a lot of reps in training camp? I know he never played much in the pre season. I mean, either we believe in bad luck or all these injuries comes down to prepping the players & coaching.

Kolankowski over Eli? Why play our best players??? It's only wins & losses.

Scarf Boy.

Is Eli's contrct up after this season? Expect him to leave if it is. There seems to be a pattern here. If you're not one of Mike's guys then you don't play much.

What a strange last couple of posts you've made.

No clue how to run this league or how to grow revenues for the CFL. Just useless.

I think that I may have 3 strikes but I'll wait till the results are up from last week's games.

Chevy is still here. The wrong guy left.

I think that was the beginning of the end for those guys....

Montreal has the best OL in the CFL right now & the DL is Top3. Dru Brown looks like any typical young qb just thrown in there. His head is still above water but he's struggling to not sink.

I wonder how Tom McGouran is taking the news? They were money together on Power 97 & then 92 Citi FM in the 80's & 90's. Their Morning Show was hugely popular on both radio stations. They then took their show to Vancouver at Rock 101 CFMI but couldn't duplicate the success they had here. Both came back to Winnipeg. Updike landed at CJOB & McGouran back at 92 Citi FM with a new sidekick Joe Aiello. Later, they did a podcast together statrting in 2014 but I don't know how popular it was or for how long Tom & Larry did it.

Strevler. Last chance for me.

I've seen this twice going back to the 60's. The downside of a veteran football team that suddenly loses more than they won. Dominant for years & then in one off season becoming the door mats in just one season. The first was the end of the Bomber of the Bomber dynasty of the 50's & early 60's. Head Coach Bud Grant knew it was over & moved on to a better opportunity in Minnesota. Took his best assistant coach in Johnny Michaels with him. Left his worse (Joe Zaleski) to take his place as Head Coach. Within a season or two we were lucky to win 3 football games. We were bottom feeders for 4 seasons until Don Jonas got here. The other was a few years later, we lost Mack herron, Jim Thorpe & other players & went from Grey Cup contenders to bottom feeders again even faster. Grey Cup contenders in 1972 & falling to last place with an anchor attached in 1973. Of course, it doesn't mean it'll happen again but the same signs are there. I just hope I'm wrong. When you step off the cliff, the fall is very hard & fast.

We don't pick up other team's cuts even if we know they can help us. I'm absolutely confounded how badly run this team has become.
