Dumb shits do what dumb shits do. The one sequence in particular just shows how bad an idea him playing corner is... He gets beat but the safety comes over and saves his ass by breaking up the pass but Carter turns around and takes a completely stupid roughing penalty to move Montreal down the field. Just unreal how a guy can do **** like that and his coach still happily says he's playing the position. Any other db in the league played like Carter does they'd have been cut a long time ago. 

Carter brings Jones an apple everyday.

Trouba, Morrissey, Hellebyuck this summer. Laine, Connor and possibly Wheeler next year.  

That money is easily gone.    

 

 

With Stasny gone, that number must be up to $32 million now.

Well I think it's quite straightforward. We inserted new players in key positions to suggest it was lack of execution and not coaching/schemes. Three games in not looking good. I'd say by the sixth game if we see it continuing with no significant improvement time to take a different direction with the D coaching. Players are never absolved of their responsibility regardless of whose coaching but with what we are seeing so far with having new additions with the same overall results  I'd say the pendulum has swung more to something amiss with the D coaching approach. We can still right the ship if after three more games nothing improves. The clock has started, the pressure is on, no more excuses.

 

Our HC doesn't operate like that. I can't see him firing Hall during the season out of respect just because he has played & coached in the CFL for decades. He did fire his STC in 2014 but he was a former U Sports head coach in his first season with the Bombers. No, a Hall firing would be handled a lot differently. We're stuck with the guy, unfortunately. 

Okay, I admit I'm not a hockey expert like some of you guys here. Football is my game & hockey is more of a sidetrack for me but I do love the Jets. That's why I don't engage in much discussion here. So then, someone please explain to me.... According to Cap Geek, before Stasny left we had $28 million in cap space.  Only the NY Islanders were lower at $32 million. All in US $$ numbers. Now Stasny is gone. Just how are we up against the cap even if we have some UFA's like Trouba to sign? The salary cap is set at $79 million US next season. How are we up against the cap exactly???

Funny thing is post game Carter said he didn't struggle or have a bad game..like wtf...and that Twitter stuff is hilarious..what a moron

If you're Wally Buono, do you laugh, get angry or think he should have retired a year ago?

Like Jennings always plays. 

I bet the Man Love from Suitor must have been torturous.

We knew that the offence under Streveler was going to struggle in some games, but we were led to believe that the invigorated defence would be better than last year, specifically with the deletion of Hurl and the addition of Bighill. They lied.

It would be better but O'Shea kept Hall because of some warped sense of loyalty to the guy. Not because he did a good job. We all knew this would happen with Hall as DC. Everyone knew it except Miller,Walters & Osh. Just how the hell can that be?  Players have to perform or they're gone. Why shouldn't it be the same for crappy assistants or coordinators?

It's the 3rd n 4th paragraph.

Read again, it said "he did not suffer". Not that he died peacefully. 

**** the Knights.

I never saw the game so how did Jennings play?

Died peacefully choking on a steak?!?!?

The article didn't say that. His son said he didn't suffer. I know it's weird but at the same time that was never said.

At one point the Bombers were paying Willy $400,000 plus to do what he does, now I doubt he's earning 1/4th of that salary and he's struggling to hold a job on the worst team in the league.

Certainly hasn't improved as a qb has he? There has been no growth as a player. Willy  plateaued & has never gotten better. He is what he is & that is a journeyman qb who even has a hard time being a backup. 

Bbq chicken.  I swear you can't make that **** up. I like Brandon Banks comment at the end... Something like, "thanks for the entertainment fellas". I bet Wally must be wondering why he didn't retire. That twitter storm is pure gold. 

It's always a great day when the Riders lose.

I'm almost certain you could stick Willy in Dave Dickenson's offense and he'd still be broken.

Yeah, I agree. His best before date expired a long time ago.

Had to fix the post cuz I think that's what you meant to say.

But yeah.  Willy just has to be done because Matthews mostly sucks too but he comes in and they win ... Man just cut Willy already cuz he is beyond done.

Montreal is just a black hole. A pit into hell for qbs.

Just now, Bubba Zanetti said:

Yup, its time to go sell insurance

Don't understand how he just keeps getting chance after chance. He is not very good.

Drew Willy gets hurt. The Als win without him. That is telling. He is totally snake bit. 

Playing Carter at corner. He lost that game but sure looks good on him. 

They call a qb draw with a qb that can't run??

Als are brutal. The Riders are handing this game to them & they just give it all back. 

What happens to Willy is inconsequential to me as I'm worried about the Bombers right now. If the Als want to keep playing him & losing, then more power to them. 

How can anyone say the offense is the reason we lost last night?? It was a factor, sure. But not the reason.  It was our garbage fire dumpster defense & the arsonist DC who coaches it.

The offence didn't play well enough that is just a fact. Unless people think 290 total yards is good for a cfl team. Saying that, I'm not blaming streveler. I think he's played as well as anyone expected. Better even. Just pointing out that this is a different team with Nichols under centre. And that it's still early enough for changes to be made on D. None of that is wrong and is backed up by stats.

Saying both sides of the ball played poorly isn't putting the blame on one side of the ball or one player. It's just what happened.

I'm more worried about the D than anything. But it's still early. Still reason for optimism for me. I don't care if their is none for others.

I'd be optimistic about our defense if I knew MOS would do something. If he wouldn't fire Hall in the off season, I'd doubt he'd do that now even as the losses & yards pile up against that unit.

146 yrds of passing is not fine. Not in modern day football....Especially with this D. Nichols brings a more consistent attack. I like the strevalation but this is still Nichols team. And it's still a better team with Nichols in the line up.

Not trying to make excuse. Just putting things into perspective. The D is still the bigger problem. But being that it's only week 3, there is lots of time for things to change.

Streveler is a rookie. Last year he was playing at South Dakota State & had never seen Canadian football.  Dressler dropped at least 2 catchable balls early in the game that would have sustained drives although he did come back & made some nice catches later. No way I'm even mentioning Streveler as a reason we lost. I'm throwing everything at Ritchie Hall.
