The team in Laval has a private owner with a monopoly on Peps Stadium so he'd never allow a team to use it. That facility could easily be expanded to at least 25,000 but unfortunately it won't happen. The Quebec government won't help with a new stadium after the way Bettman has burned them.

This will only get worse when Halifax starts up. We don't have enough universities playing football to keep up, unfortunately. Fans want to see the CFL with 12 or 14 teams but that may just be impossible to do given the amount of Nationals we'd need.

I'm 63 & drive a school bus. I honestly know that my reflexes aren't what they used to be. Even my cognitive processes aren't the same as I was 20years ago. In the past few years, there have been a few times when I have been driving & completely forgot en route where I was going & how to get there. I look calm behind the wheel but meanwhile I'm panicking as I'm driving thinking where the hell am I going??? .Luckily, those few episodes lasted only about half a minute each time & I quickly regained my bearings but I never was like that when I was younger. However, I make up for a lot with 46 years of driving experience. But there's no way I'd feel safe driving a 40 foot school bus with 60 kids at age 73. I plan on putting my feet up in 10 years not wanting the responsibility for kids & teachers safety. Talked to drivers about my memory lapses & it seems to be a common problem among older drivers as most of them have experienced the same thing. So, I'm not alone. You guys in your 20's,30's & 40's, please believe me when I say things change as you age as a driver. I think a 73 year old commercial driver could be a safety issue.

You got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run. You never count your money when you're sitting at the table. There'll be time enough for counting when the GAME is done.

Not many 73 year olds driving or operating heavy machinery or trucks. Working behind a till at a convenience store is a lot different than driving a dump truck. Or operating a crane.

Just got back. Didn't notice anything different than here.

Age, reflexes & the ability to handle cognitively dangerous situations. I'm 63 & no way would I want to drive a commercial vehicle at that age. So safety reasons.

Why is a 73 year old working as a dump truck driver?

I think we can safely say that every Bomber player & coach contributed to that loss. That truly was (for a change), a total team loss.

It's confirmed. Tragic. Emery was just 35.

You actually have an opinion. Instead of asking everyone first. #stickyourneckout

I think that you probably care a lot more than you'd like to admit. After 28 years we Bomber fans have developed some pretty good defensive coping mechanisms to deal with the yearly depressing failures we experience . One of them is to say (think?) that we don't care when we actually do. That way, when they lose we can just say to ourselves that we knew that they would anyway just to make the hurt seem less & then get ready for Xmas a month or so away...

I live in Calgary as well but I still have that blue & gold blood in my veins. I can't give up on the Blue Bombers as I have 53 years invested in the team. I'd still be a STH if I lived in Winnipeg. This team can be frustrating at times & we all know that especially after last night. As fans, we've been waiting a long time to return victorious to The Promised Land. We know that it's our turn. We just don't know when that turn will come.

That's on Walters & McManus for sure. The coaches can only coach the guys they scout & sign. I agree that receivers have been a problem. We do have some young Canadian talent that I think will develop into great slots but we have nowhere near the group of Internationals Edmonton & Calgary have. The only way to improve is to keep signing receivers & bringing them in which is something I don't think we do enough of. That's what the Stamps do. Even with the group they have now Huff will still bring in guys for a look see. They target a certain skill set. The guys they scout are tall, fast & physical. (Except for Marken Michel who is a speed demon). You don't see many receivers with Edmonton or Calgary that are under 6'1 & 200 lbs. And they actually push the starters. they know that if they don't produce that they'll be replaced as there is always someone waiting in the wings. Anyway, that's what the Eskimos & Stamps do. It's something we don't.

From everything I've read here I'm glad I missed the game. I have it PVR'd & was going to watch it but I'm glad I heard the score first. Now, I think I'll just delete the game as I don't want to watch it. Why we always have trouble beating the Lions at BC Place is beyond me & it's starting to go beyond frustrating. The Bombers have the talent to do great things this year. Why we can't seem to put it all together is another mind boggler. Having not seen the game I really can't say what happened last night. I do have confidence that Nichols will bounce back. Not ready to write the guy off yet.

Lulay won't make it thru the season. JJ will be the starting qb soon enough again. I like Lulay. He's a decent guy on & off the field so I really don't want to see him injured again but I don't think he can stand up to another 13 games as the Lions starting qb.

We always play badly at BC Place.

Wow, what a deterrent that is. He'll never be bad again.

I didn't see the game. How did our D play? Part of the collapse?

Any changes will be made this off season so let's get thru this one before any talk of firing Hall takes place as it won't happen. Should Hall be let go, damn right he should but unless the defense totally collapses & I mean TOTALLY collapses, he won't be fired this season.

This is Nichols second game back. He'll find the chemistry with Bowman again.

Lulay can really light it up with the receivers he has. Our D better come ready to play.

So then, do you parade in the nude? Or just never go out.

Suitor & Black leaving TSN football broadcasts would be a huge positive step for the CFL. Both are assclowns & way too comfortable in their roles.

He won't. It'll be the Travis Lulay Man Love Fest all game. Or the Jonathan Jennings Man Love Fest if he goes in... Total BS.
