  1. Marc Trestman "not too interested" in coming back to the CFL? I guess he likes bouncing around the NFL like a rubber ball becoming more & more irrelevant with every bounce. The CFL saved his career once & it could again. Up to him I guess. You can't teach stupid. It just is.
  2. Nichols played with confidence. Willy played with very little confidence out there. The hits & injuries really took their toll on the man. He looked the same in Toronto as he did here. He didn't look comfortable when he played. His facial expressions & body language just gave everything away. Willy's teammates could see that & I'm sure that is why his teammates didn't play as hard for him as they did for Nichols. Nichols had some gruesome injuries as well to deal with but to his enormous credit he was able to put that in the back of his mind & not let it get to him. That's a quality a lot of us wouldn't have to be honest. To face your fears, come back from adversity like that & play well. I feel bad for Drew Willy but even coming back the way he did took guts on his part. At the same time, I admire Nichols for what he's done. He's courageous.
  3. This is like Trump & Hillary. You see one POV & that's it. Depends on what fans think of O'Shea.
  4. I'd never even consider that the Bombers should have tried a 61 yard FG if the Bombers didn't get the first down. I'd say 99% of the other fans would be the same. That the right play was to kick the FG? Never. Now at 58 yards with the game on the line on the last play of the game then yes it's the only play as it would have had a better chance than a Hail Mary. But not 61 yards with 36 seconds left on a third & four. The only choice was to go for it. Not kick. There's more luck involved than skill on a kick that far.
  5. Disagree. FGs aren't normally tried from 61 yards so I don't believe the coach would have been questioned if he gambled. Thirty six seconds left on 3rd & 4 you go for it. If you don't make it then okay you tried the most logical & statistically highest percentage attempt which is to gamble & not kick. if this was the last play then yes you try the FG. That wasn't the time to do that. O'Shea should have put more faith in his offense to get that first down,
  6. The Lions had a lot of calls go their way. Unless the Stamps totally collapse they should beat the Lions by more than a few points.
  7. Then it got stopped. I'd have accepted it. At least we were doing the logical thing trying to win. There were 36 seconds, not 6 seconds left. The FG attempt was a stupid call.
  8. Ultimately it DID come down to one call irrespective of the others. It was a gutless call. The season came down to an impossible FG attempt or 4 measly yards. I am having a hard time accepting the way our season was lost by a panicked O'Shea. If our O couldn't have got the yards I'd be happier to lose that way than the way we did today. At least we'd have tried.
  9. O'Shea turtled & panicked. That's how I saw it. He got scared & made the wrong decision.
  10. They never turned off Suitor's mic. He was just heard on TSN laughing while the Jennings interview started, "I told you we'd (BC) be going to Calgary".
  11. No. Neither should O'Shea with that dumb decision. I'd have rather lost trying to get the first down than on a 61 yard FG attempt.
  12. Jennings a pick, a sack & a fumble. What a great young qb says TSN.
  13. Why has the CFL gone so screwy the past few years? From strange PI rules to coaches challenges to Campbell getting nominated for COTY. What has happened to the CFL??
  14. Only a few will leave. In the end, they'll stay.
  15. This is sooooo flashback 1960's & 70's. Both Canada & the US were out of step then & are out of step now. But Canada was Liberal & the US Republican back then & are the same now. We had Pierre Trudeau. They had Nixon. Today, we have Justin Trudeau. They have Trump. It'll be interesting how this all plays out with our 2 countries.
  16. For what they asked Kohlert to do he was a huge disappointment.
  17. The CFL website used to have a free agent list & then would update it if a player signed elsewhere or with his team. It just would be good to know who is available & who isn't. Last season a lot of players went to free agency instead of signing with their own team.
  18. Warren Buffet was against Keystone as he owns a number of railroads. I've read that he wanted the oil to be carried by rail to line his pockets. He was a big Obama financial supporter,
  19. I expect the Keystone Pipeline will be built now.
  20. Why do people still think he is a free agent when it has been reported by credible sources that he isn't? The CFL needs to publish a free agent list & post it on their website.
