Agree, but it wasnt just that they lost. It was the way they lost that has people concerned. Unprepared, disinterested, slow. Essentially looking like dogshit from top to bottom.

You could be right.....Every other team showed more than we did, although it wouldn't have taken much considering the putrid effort we put forth in game uno......I hope it was a one off but considering the injuries we have suffered lately, this could continue....It was sad watching Grant and Bailey performing for the argo's....Not spectacular but they were still doing their thing...........

Well gents, after reflection and watching highlights of the other games…we could be f*cked. At least for the first part of the season. 

Good 

Yeah in 2014, Moore definitely was the top WR in 2014 - he could have gone anywhere (if he didn't get an NFL look) but chose to come Here.  Bryant came in 2015 where he (arguably) wasn't the best OL available until Ben Heenan & Brett Jones both signed NFL deals.

Right, for sure Bryant was more impactful.

My point was more like, Nick Moore was the first consensus #1 FA at his position whom they actually got to come to Winnipeg in probably 20 years.
Even Drew Willy that year wasn’t “their guy” until the better QBs had signed. 

I'll disagree & say Stanley Bryant was the guy who started our turnaround. He could have stayed in calgary & be part of two Grey Cups while we struggled. To see a generational player like that come here was absolutely amazing. Once a player of his calibre came here then others followed. 
Like we evaluated returners last year? We knew in 5 minutes they all sucked.

At this point I don’t think it matters actually. Zach looks at his first read which will always Schoen/Demski (or Lawler before the injury), if they’re not open he just pumps and pumps until one of the 3 breaks their route off back towards the ball, or he has to eat it. 
 
I was excited when they brought in Pokey Wilson, super athletic guy from a big school. Then I realized he’s going to get bargain basement looks and concepts. Best he can probably hope for is a short crosser or maybe a jet sweep if he’s lucky. 

I think Feltmate’s just being brought in because he’s available, solid and our ST sucks. 

So training camp was just for shits n giggles again. Yeah. Suitor during the Calgary Hamilton game goes every team has a returner and I immediately go the bombers don’t dip ****. 
 
is this the start of our fall from grace due to stubbornly trying to get 1 more play out of the veteran? Are we up stream  without a paddle. 

Dropping one on O would actually force them to always use 2 Canadians on D.  They do for the most part anyways.  Of course they could nationalize Alexander or Wilson or Jefferson.

So flip it to American. We start 817 Canadians.

Feltmate is a pretty good ST guy, correct?
Worrisome that Brady is sitting out. Not a fan of Augustine as the primary rb. Wish we'd bring in a guy. 
Wheatfall is interesting. I have to be honest, I assume Zach just targets Demski and Schoen at ton with Lawler out.

I don’t read too much into the Feltmate add beyond they took the opportunity to add a good player who was available 

Returner situation is ridiculous.
We started the season with a guy who didn't even return punts in the pre-season game.  The pre-season had no focus on preparing for the real game.  Special teams easily cost us 10 points in that game aside from Castillo.
Chris-Ike is an extremely raw rookie.  I was pretty surprised he made the opening roster.  Easily could have kept Rosery as a solid teams guy who can back up all over the offense and maybe even fill that blocking back role.  Now we'll probably bring on Murphy when we drop Mitchell and Chris-Ike will go down to PR for Feltmate in the next couple weeks who is more of a pure special teamer with not a ton of utility.

Think he meant did Gemmel not want to sit on the PR? 

I think Feltmate’s just being brought in because he’s available, solid and our ST sucks. 

So is ridiculously 

It was Chris Vargas. That game against the Lions was one of the most fun times I’ve had at the stadium. Getting to rush the field as a 10 year old was amazing. There was also a shoving match between Reinbold and Adam Rita over a very late hit on Damon Allen by a Bomber DB 
 

Yeah he’s a good player, but that was a prick move. Don’t really feel all that sorry for him.

Elks: worst team, also the worst looking team.

21 unanswered points from a 13 point deficit.... 
we used to do stuff like that. 
 
Thgis is going to be a **** week....
