Who knows what this guy will do? He may throw for 300 yards in a blizzard. I hear Buckley will start. The big question is if the weather is bad will 10,000 people even show up?

Thanks for responding. I know there were a lot of frustrated users last game.

Could be the qbs just aren't throwing to him. May not be all his fault.

How can the Blue NOT host the semi?

Max is cooling his heels in a US Federal prison last time I heard. -

The weather sucks. Southern AB always seems to get crap weather like this late October or early November. I HATE early winters. The World Series is still being played for cryin' out loud. I don't think more than 15,000 will be in the stands. -
Week 20: Bombers @ Stamps "Week Of" Thread

No. We'd be the 3rd place team in the West at the worst. -

Are you kidding? They've lost two in a row. They lost at home. They lost up in Edmonton. They'll play & start BLM until such time as Dickenson says so. The Stamps want to go out a winner in front of the home crowd. They're pissed. -
J5V, why are you going off the way you are about being routed? If Nichols had played we'd have won. I'm damn sure of that.

If we don't have Nichols playing this weekend then we are dead. Plain & simple. We all know that as there's no way the Stamps want to be on a 3 game losing streak at home going into the WDF. As far as something to prove, I think the Stamps will play hard. We are in tough. This team has done some great things & I think better days are ahead next year. But we need to still fill some holes & replace Hall to have a chance to win the GC next season. I'm conceding a Mea Culpa on this season with the way things are going. That's not being negative but being a realist. But I'm certainly not negative on the Bombers future.

Should this regime be on the hot seat?
SpeedFlex27 replied to White Out's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
That was always the criticism of hiring a Canadian GM. Having to rely on other people in the organization as Walters has no connections with NCAA or NFL teams. I don't think our scouts have done a very good job. Yeah, they've found some good players but for the life of me, when Int'l receivers are all over the place why they can't find any decent guys is beyond me. It's always a struggle. Walters really has to review their US scouting & make changes. -

But they never kept him. Edmonton never found Bowman either. Or Reilly. -
Desperate. Trying to make a play. Poor judgement.
-
He's never been expected to come in & win a game. That is what was expected as the game was close when Nichols was injured.

Absofreakinglutely as he overlooks the scouting dept. -

Adams could but not Dressler. The number one is a slot in Edmonton (Zylstra) & Dressler would be behind him. Adams would give the starting wideout a run for his money. Is that Williams? -

Those guys are out there. We have to have scouts who can find them. -

I know we desperately need a new DC but I'm not ready to say LaPo should go yet. I think we give him 1 more year. Adams is a talent but he can't stay healthy. Although I'll say most WR's across the league have that problem. The way they use Dressler on those fly sweeps & catching the ball in the flats just leaves him wide open to hellacious hits so he's always one hit away from being injured it seems. Walters has to make receiver a priority & sign a number of FA's. As well as lber. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to White Out's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
LaPo likes to stretch the field horizontally & it seems 90% of his throws on 2nd down are always short of the first down marker relying on the receiver to make the YAC yards for a first down. I admit I don't like the system overall but it's been a godsend for Nichols as it suits him to a tee. In Year 3 of this offense with Nichols in 2018, it should be time to take it to another level by throwing more deep balls downfield. Outside of Adams, there's really no INt'l receivers on our rosters I really like. Dressler can't stay healthy & at 33 is it wise to bring him back? Denmark has absolutely disappeared the last 4 games. None of our qbs throw to him anymore & he's become a wasted talent. So, is it time to move on with him? The other Intl's? Don't really care as they don't do much at all. We need to restock & replace. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to White Out's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Imagine what we would be if we had the WR's teams like BC, Sask & Edm have. Why can't we find guys like that? Other than Adams we don't have any other receivers who can stretch the field as a vertical threat. Teams know we can't throw deep & we are an easy team to defend. How do you defend against Burnham & Arceneaux or Zylstra & Walker? Reilly just puts the ball up deep & lets his receivers do the rest. We can't do that. We need to build a receiving corp like those teams. My question is why can't we find those type of big & physical receivers? -

You should run for Mayor. Come up with a campaign slogan that's catchy & I'll vote for you. -
Doesn't Durant have another season on his contract?
