Larry Updike, that’s sad. A lot of those 90s CJOB guys were voices that were built into the background of my childhood.

The D as whole looks a little Rusty to me. Rod Rusty…

She’s very clear that they have “Too many old guys”

So my almost 3 year old heard me talking to her Grandpa about the game on the phone this morning. “What is punter dad?” “Something bad that the Blue Bombers have. They’ve got a bad punter. He’s the man that kicks the football the way I showed you. It’s called a punter, and he’s a bad punter” ”Oh, Bluebommers have a bad punter” ”Yes sweetie, that’s right. Your Gramdfather is probably a better one, and he’s 70” ”And Mommy is better punter than bluebombers?” ”Yes, That’s probably right too” “And Jenny (our collie cross) is better punter than Bluebombers?” It went on for about a half hour, with literally every name she knows. I’m building another one of us…

It was the slightest of overthrows. Somewhat on the QB but I mean, football is a game of inches. I don’t blame Demski for that one, granted I only saw the play the once on TV.

Not with this organization I don’t think. That’s just not how they’ve ever operated with any kind of personnel or staff, especially mid season. If anything, if this year continues as such, I could see Hall fully retired and JY somewhere else next season, with a total fresh start here but that’s way too far out yet.

I think the best option would be Griffin in for Holm, Holm moves to S, making it Bonds/Griffin/Holm/Bridges/Ford. Kramdi at dime for now (though I find him to be chasing after as many plays as he makes) Shuffle things around when they get Nichols and Parker back.

Do you think Griffin could be a good bandaid there? I’ll be honest, other than the fact he has CFL experience, I don’t know much about him at all.

“Fatigue makes cowards out of the best of us” Willie’s always had the tendency to lope around and seem disinterested when he’s gassed out, just now at his age it happens much earlier in games. It also appears that his top priority is almost always to get a PKD, a lot of the time at the detriment of making any sort of engagement with the lineman. Lol same, though pre-2017ish I felt this coming from anyone who was a fan through the 80s. It’s come full circle.

What felt like at least 1 pick 6 per game too. Byron Parker was a nightmare for us.

Normally yeah, I just remember those Argos always giving up a ton of yards on the ground. Roberts regularly ran for 100+ against them, and I remember them giving up like 300 yards to the ticats in a game. https://www.cfl.ca/2006/06/17/there_ll_be_a_run_on_argo_defence/ …Holy ****. Check out this article. Maaaaan, so familiar.

Yeah afaik match coverage took over in the mid-late 2000s, around the time the Sam backer turned into the dime DB. Yeah afaik match coverage took over in the mid-late 2000s, around the time the Sam backer turned into the dime DB.

Iirc they’d get pass pressure with 3 or 4 consistently. I also remember them giving up a lot of 150-200 yard rushing games

Between Sask and the Elks, no way we’re going 0-18 though.

Castillo, pretty sure even Costello probably could.

Do you think there’s enough individual pieces to improve? Or is this a 2005 thing where we have a couple bright spots, but give up 400 yards passing every game? Obviously there’s more nuance to it than one guy, but I don’t see it getting any better with BA playing safety. Also, if they’re running the old Rich Stubler defence to a degree, is it not just a matter of time before they start getting gashed by the run? I remember that being the hallmark of those Argo teams.

post of the year.

Agreed. The max protect worked well and the running game even showed some honest to god creativity. That’s about as positive as I can get tonight We played twilight zone

How else could we let our beaten down FS look like Kramer in jeans trying to cover the deep middle while we rush 9?

Don’t need him obviously. Zach’s the best and he always will be.

It’s too late. They’ve got to have a full on rebuild, it’s the only way.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think them crapping out would feel this rough, thought the good years would soften it more. I think I’m mostly still mad about those last 2 GC games, ESPECIALLY not getting the 3peat. In bloody goddamned Regina of all places. Venting here, but **** Dakota Proukop for throwing it and **** Buck for calling that awful awful pass play with all the momentum in the world.

I have a few pairs of cargo shorts, they’re very comfortable.

I’ve watched stinker games with other teams, simply because he was the ref

You know, nut grabber is just an expression for a close game right?
