For what they asked Kohlert to do he was a huge disappointment.

The election was rigged.

They do. Every year in the off-season. Kind of dumb to do it now given that a ton of extensions will be signed before the new year.
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.

That would be awesome. Go Keystone!! It's about time.
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,

I expect the Keystone Pipeline will be built now.

this conversation already exists in another thread, but for about the 15th time: Franklin is under contract, and it has been reported that the Bombers are one of the teams most interested in him.
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.

Lots of nervous people in the US tonight....

I really like Marc Trestman. Having him back in the CFL would be a great thing.

I don't think Lapo is any kind of world beater as OC, but I really fear the constant changing of schemes...we have swapped out so many OCs over the last decade.
I agree. I think Nichols runs LaPo's offense to a tee. He understands it & it suits his talents as a qb. It's not pretty because our Canadian receivers aren't good enough. If we upgrade at Boundary Receiver & get rid of Kohlert replacing him with someone who can actually produce we'd be 15-20% better production wise on offense. He shouldn't be replaced unless he leaves himself.

The astonishing thing about Hillary Clinton is that the Republicans have been tossing nothingburgers at her for years now -- how much time and money did they spend investigating Benghazi? And they haven't made any of it stick.
So, either she is a Professor Moriarty-level evil supergenius, whose plans are so perfect that the authorities are powerless to stop her. Or the people who are prosecuting her are utterly incompetent.
Or, perhaps, the charges against her are horseshit.
Curious as to whether you can vote in the election.

Hoo boy that would be a big middle finger to Nichols, bringing Franklin in ... JF has taken Nichols' job before.
Yeah, probably. Though Nichols is our starter as he earned it. Jones just didn't care for Nichols in Edmonton. Nichols is more entrenched here as the starter than he ever was with the Eskimos. Franklin would be for the future. He'd have a better chance playing here long term than languishing behind Mike Reilly in Edmonton.
-
Maybe we use our first pick to trade for Franklin? Just a thought. Riders fans seem to think he'll be a Rider sooner than later. That's all they've talked about since Chris Jones got to Regina.

It's about time we got the #1 pick as it was taken from us in the 2014 Draft to give Ottawa the very first pick. It was Our Turn!!

Bunch of bullshirt to be calling down the play of a QB who was 10-3 as a starter.
More of the same to question how we got to be a 11-7 team...playing in the West division, especially when you consider the Eastern 1st place team HAD A LOSING RECORD - the 1st time in CFL history.
Just what does a Coach have to do to prove his worth?
I think he hasn't learned to manage his players yet. The Nichols situation in Friday's game. Not pulling him when he probably should have. That really concerns me. Glenn could have come in yet he didn't until Nichols leg was almost broken. Ottawa's offense was going nowhere. They really weren't a threat to come back 10 points down playing a bunch of rookies.

think he was banged up but wanted to keep playing. Using your star rb to run out the clock in meaningless minutes to pad his stats can be dangerous. Ever see the Wilis mcgahee injury?
Hes gonna get the extension. Unless some crazy fringe situation like TO fires milano and offers him the job.
Despite the win streak ive been concerned with his decision making for a while. He continually makes poor roster choices. Seldom putting the best roster on the field. Falls in love with "His" guys despite poor play. weve seen multiple co-ordinators and the same passive systems. We see DI's miss managed, we see poor starts, poor focus, and poor effort on a regular basis. We didnt have 1 game where we played start to finish. Idk if we even played 3/4 of a game. Tons of penalties, and the same ones over and over. We see players dramatically under perform from previous situations. He makes excuses and passes pure BS like they are pro's of course they play hard the whole time.
But hes a part of our turn around. we fell back arsewards into 11-7. This team could have easily been a 13+ win team. Weve stuck with him through all the thin now we are going into the play offs, and next year will be going into the season with the expectation of repeating and improving. Thats gonna show how good of a coach he is. Hes earned the chance to improve. This is the best case scenario when you scoop a CORD with limited coaching experience. Especially never having been a HC at any level. Next years TC will really give a great view of how he is. hes going to have tons of talent. All these young guys being a year older. Additions we make, especially with our draft position. I hope he takes the next step and develops into an elite coach. Id be liying if i said i wasnt worried about it though. Plus im not sure any elite coach will be available. Short of that it wouldnt be worth making a move.
Thats for sure. The OL wasnt horrible, but it sure wasnt as good as it was with chungh and bond.
I said this on chat when the game was playing. This could easily be a 5-13 team next year. Did we win with luck & smoke & mirrors this season? Our defense scares me. We lead the league in takeaways yet we are the worst against the pass & the run. Yet despite that we kept winning. All the luck we had with takeaways could turn sour. If our overall defensive play on pass coverage & defending the run doesn't improve next season to at least middle of the pack stats wise it could get bad. So, I'm happy with this 11 win season but really unsure about next year as well as our head coach.

Did any body take into consideration that maybe Harris was a bit knicked up, and they didn't want to aggravate anything?
Did he look peeved about not playing? I thought he looked unhappy.

I'm not convinced O'Shea is the right guy to lead this team for the next 3 or 4 years after the questionable judgement I saw tonight about playing Nichols the way he did. We all know that a new contract for Mike is just a formality. That Wade Miller will give him a new long term deal & quite frankly who knows what the Bombers will do next season under O'Shea. I don't have that warm & fuzzy feeling that he can have continued long term success.
His judgement as a head coach at times just leaves a lot to be desired. Last night game just showed his stubbornness & that lack of good judgement as he almost sacrificed Nichols for the win. I'm sure Kevin Glenn could have gone in & did a fine job carrying the lead midway thru the third quarter to a win. Yet until Nichols got hut that didn't seem to be the plan. I just wonder why that would be? I get the will to win but when Ottawa is going for Nichols knees then he has to come out. We were lucky we didn't lose Nichols in that game.
One last thing: We sure need Bond & Chungh back in there next game that's for sure.

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.
