Interesting QB stats from last week....
Would you sign somewhere where there is no clear cut starter and you have the chance to be that guy rather then a backup under an established QB?

Chris Matthews out 4-6 weeks, Pierce or Hall to start Saturday
This would be true if Buck was obviously better then the other guys, but he hasn't been. If Buck plays, it will be interesting to see what he can do with Marcel calling the plays, but I'm not holding my breath that it will be much better or that he can stay healthy. If Buck doesn't give us a substantial increase in QB play over the other two guys, which Mikes advanced stat thread shows, then we are delaying the advancement of Hall or Goltz by one more year for no good reason.

Community Ownership or the lack of same and how to go forward
I can't find the exact rules, but it does look like shareholders get a say in the board. http://www.riderville.com/article/roughriders-hold-annual-general-meeting-20130622015438

Bellefeuille: Burke decides QB on Saturday
http://www.cfl.ca/page/game_rule_ratio But really, if you have no one else, why wouldn't you dress Buck to have him on the sidelines, even if he is hurt, just to have his input.

Wow, was I wrong ...
Fan, short for fanatic. fa·nat·ic - A person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, esp. for an extreme religious or political cause. Most teams fans over pump what they have and under value what they don't. It is what makes us passionate about the team. Just have to try and keep it in mind during the highs and lows.

Creehan has to go... replace him with who?
We could just call him Beautiful Sheet. I always thought feuille was leaf. Weird the google translate says it is sheet.

Crowton fired
With limited practice time, he has to work with the existing playbook. He will keep what he likes, and slowly introduce his own wrinkles week by week as time and practice permits. Play calling can also play a big part in turning the offense around as well as perhaps making some half time adjustments. As long as we see improvement in the offense week by week, then he is doing his job. What he will likely be stuck with is Crowton's terminology.

Crowton fired
Not a surprise, and I'm not sad to see him go. But at the same time, we can't go a week without firing anyone!

I know I've put off buying a new jersey, where I probably used to get one every couple of years (when you consider the 50's and 70's retros in the last little while). Through in the fact that I have Jets jerseys that compete with my jersey buys, and they do have to be suffering merchandise wise.- GDT - Game Day: We All Play
We actually just recently had our first suspension. But for the most part, posters here have been great, and a very civilized discussion.- Odds that Cory Watson is left unprotected during expansion draft?
I'm not saying Etienne is a shoe-in to be the next great Canadian super star, but going into this week the Bomber's best receiver was ranked 21st in the league. In an 8 team league, that is unforgivable. Have to fix the offensive schemes and QB before we can really start evaluating the receivers.- Odds that Cory Watson is left unprotected during expansion draft?
Does that mean the end of the Kito Poblah experiment?- Bombers Sign Deangelis
Thats a better argument- Bombers Sign Deangelis
I wouldn't change the game to appease those people. They will hate the CFL no matter what. Even if you played with full NFL rules, they wouldn't watch it because it isn't the "best" players. If you want to make an argument to change a rule to make the game better for the people who watch it, then that should be discussed.- MBB Logo Design Contest
Blue is #265185 Gold is #C1A874- Morning Big Blue Pick 'em Pools

In this week's Pick 'Em pool, 52.9% are picking the Bombers so far. Pretty low percentage for a voting base made up of mostly Winnipeg fans.- Site Update
Short version: Working through some site issues. It will be coming back Long version: I need to keep the "default" theme of the site going for some older browsers. The new menu system (which was what allowed the About drop down to appear) wasn't working properly on it, so I disabled it until I can figure out what the issue is. Once I do that, the other menu system (and the About menu) will come back. Nothing to do with the new look. This has always been broken, but I just found out about it.- Site Update
I agree. Ideally the new banner will be mostly blue and lay over top of the existing gold.- Site Update
At the bottom of the webpage there is a link that says Change Theme. Click it then choose Morning Big Blue. Unless you are running IE8, in which case, you may run into problems Some people had to change back to the software's default theme for IE8 to work properly. If you do change the theme and it works for you, then the Pick 'Ems link will then work as well- Site Update
The site's main theme got an update to Blue and Gold. Here is a screenshot for people who are on the default theme. - A Clear Explanation For BB Woes
