You might just get your wish the way things are going. Dogs chasing frisbees it is then. Heh.

You don't say ..

Second round pick for Hamilton's record?

BC and Winnipeg cannot mathematically host a playoff game. Edmonton and Calgary have it tied up. Best either team can do is 3rd in the West. Okay. Thanks. The question was asked of O'Shea tonight and he was baffled. You're clearly more on the ball then me and O'Shea tonight. Feel free to delete this thread No .. you shall forever wear the shame of your idle speculation. STICKY THIS!

Washington has struggled this year. I don't think that can be argued. Whether it's chemistry / communication issues with Adams or simply a change in play style born out of the offseason rule changes, he's not made a tangible impact this season. Can he be a playmaker? Absolutely. Has he demonstrated that this season? Absolutely not.

It amazes me to think that if we simply take care of business down the stretch, we can be in the playoffs .. that we are in the picture now is amazing. Montreal won't be doing much offensively .. that side of the ball is a mess.

I know but you need backups. If Bastien gets injured, no Canadian WR to step in. It's doable but leaves us very thin.I don't see why we can't sign a Kito Poblah or Jade Etienne to stand on the side lines and look pretty in case of an injury.I thought it was reported (albeit here, so take that for what it's worth) that jade was done with football... I'd be interested in seeing what Poblah would do as a jersey filler... too bad that rifles kid didn't work out... Forgot about him, wonder if that Reaves kid is still around. Still can't understand why the Bombers didn't make room for him on the PR. Because he was more of a project that any of our recent draft picks?

Hate seeing Henoc make plays for the Als ..

But he's friendly with the media so that means something, right?

He almost fielded a kickoff that one time ..that was pretty exciting

I'd settle for a draft (under Walters) where we surprise nobody ..

Color me surprised ...

Yeah, that'll absolutely help his confidence....good call. We're in the business of winning football games and he's now cost us at least two. **** his confidence. Couldn't agree more. Why are we suddenly treating players like fragile babies? They're professional athletes who are paid to make plays. Lirim's performance was unacceptable. I wouldn't cut him but he needs to take a seat on the bench. If he can't respond from being cut, how will he ever be able to respond with big kicks? They should be bringing in guys who can do the job. Why must we be so invested in a kicker simply because he's Canadian? He's either good enough .. consistent enough .. to do the job or he isn't. Give me one person who can do all three jobs .. I don't care if they are Canadian, American or Martian. Just put the ball through the ******* uprights with some regularity. He did. Last season. More then any other kicker in bomber history percentage wise. He can do the job. Its up to oshea and walters to find out what went wrong. Oh, and we are vested in him because he has shown hes skilled AND Canadian kickers are valuable. Also, we dont want another peredes situation.. Except this one would be worse as we developed him.. One season does not make a track record. One season can be seen as an outlier or a fluke. You know what's valuable to this franchise? Wins. You know what's valuable to this team on game day? A player who can be depended on .. whose mere appearance on the field doesn't illicit cat calls from 25000 people in the stands. At the end of the day, he's a ******* kicker. He's a ******* kicker who is costing us games. He's a ******* kicker who has been so wildly inconsistent this season that if he WASN'T a non-import, he'd have been shown the door. To everyone reading this post, I'm sorry. I'm not usually the one to drop F-Bombs in a thread but we are talking about a kicker .. and a guy who is routinely shitting the bed .. he's not a sacred cow.

Yup, for sure. Ever since Nichols got here we've seen some improvement in the playcalling. The play calling hasn't improved .. we've simply seen competent play (in stretches) from the QB position. The game planning and play calling .. in game adjustments .. are as inconsistent as they've ever been.

Ha-rouge-llahu hasn't earned anything from a single year of success in the CFL .. if it wasn't for his passport, he'd have been sent packing long ago. It's a joke that he's allowed to miss kick after kick and still be allowed to trot out onto the field.

Yesterday it wasn't terrible play calling .. it was simply a lack of execution. That said, there are times where our illustrious OC looks completely out of touch with the tempo and flow of the game .. there are also times, where you watch plays develop and receivers are running their routes to the same depth .. they are in the same vicinity .. there's nothing that pushes the coverage off / draws defenders off a route .. whether that's play design ir on the receiver .. I don't know .. we also have one of the slowest developing run games going .. it's maddening to watch.

Best step away from the Mike's Hard, son. Bath Salts. Bath Salts. This post screams I'm so high, I'm ready to eat some face.

Pretty sure it was Capers at RT once Neufeld got injured. Capers at RT and Goosen at LG.

Hey guys .. as a moderator on the site .. and someone who has strong feelings about our political system .. I simply wanted to say that I appreciate the tone and intelligence in this discussion. It could easily devolve into partisan nonsense but, for the most part, there has been good back and forth. Kudos to you guys for making my job easy!

Winnipeggers ARE cheap .. people in this city are always looking to get something for nothing ..that said, when there is a need to pull together and support others .. to support a good cause ..the people of this city can be incredibly generous.

But how many times was Nichols pounded and/or hurried into throwing the ball away?Oddly enough, after Neufeld went out, the line settled down a bit and he (Nichols) seemed to stay upright .. Goosen at LG .. Capers at RT..

Hamilton has the defense to punch above it's weight and keep them in every game they play. If Mathews can be effective as a game manager, and there's no reason to think he can't be successful given his history with Austin / Condell, they will still be a force ..

It absolutely needs to be done .. makes for a healthier league all around ..

Why do people always equate "mobile QB" with a QB who runs? Mobility, first and foremost, is about extending the play .. awareness .. moving around in the pocket .. and yes, occassionally taking off and running the ball. Our starting quarterback is a "mobile" quaterback .. he's not some statue in the pocket in the mold of Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers or Danny McManus .. but his ability to move and extend a play with his legs is a vastly under-rated part of his game. No, he's not the same athlete as a Riley or Collaros but he does get the job done when he's forced to use his legs. That said .. if we can lock Nichols up going into next year .. that's not a bad thing .. he's proven he can win games .. is unfraid to push the ball downfield (for good and bad) .. and is a guy who can step in and still provide you with an "effective" offensive leader. Is he in the same tier as Willy? No.. but he doesn't need to be. All he need to be able to do is move the offensive IF his number is called.
