I'll say this with all due respect to the people posting in this thread ... (and this is not directed at anyone in particular) .. Why the **** does it matter what colour sweater the kid was wearing? Green, Blue, Orange, RED and BLACK .. who cares. It's despicable that an adult would *EVER* intimidate or assault a child. Where they are from, who they cheer for, what color jersey / sweater the kid was wearing is totally and completely irrelevant.

No need to necro a two year old thread.

It's been said already but this is a huge win for the Bombers in terms of what they were able to get for Willy (who I do think has a great chance to re-invent himself under Millanovich) and we *DID* also get ourselves a capable backup quarterback. That said .. I'm conflicted .. I've been hating on Glenn for so long now that in the event he has to start a game for us .. I'm not sure what I'll do. Hah! At any rate, Go Blue!

We'll be playing Toronto. Also .. too soon to start worrying about next week .. this team isn't good enough to look beyond the game right in front of them.

Yep. That's a banning. ?

They honestly have to play cleaner and it wouldn't shock me to see the Bombers drop this next game. These two games, LDC and the Banjo Bowl, the records are meaningless .. always tough games to play.

Trust in your playmakers to go out and make plays .. sometimes a little of that gunslinger mentality goes a long way.

We complain so much about the consistency of officiating and how it impacts the quality of the game that it's hard to imagine ANYONE advocating for calling a game differently based on time left or any other arbitrary factor. Yet here we are.

Heh. I had a brain cramp (lacking coffee) it is just a single in this instance.

We'd get 1 point and they'd still be kicking off to us.

Won't suggest for a second that we didn't benefit greatly from that call .. but I tend to look at it as the universe balancing itself out; a check in the right side of the ledger instead of a phone call from the league to say, "I'm sorry". That it came at the Riders expense is only icing on the cake.

Walters had always been very good / proactive in terms of cap management. Little things like this allow the club to remain in a stable position moving forward.

While we're on the topic .. might as well announce the new integration for MBB ...

Just make sure it's not past the first down marker ..

Probably a good thing for your liver .. just saying ..

They are both receivers. Moore spent time with the Raiders and Pettis played for both the Rams and the Chargers.

Generalizations are not your friend. i haven't posted much in awhile but I'm hardly pro team and I'm definitely not part of a clique. I tend to take the view that nothing is as good as it seems, nothing is as bad as it seems. It's called perspective and objectivity. I think one of the main criticisms people have with *some* of the negative posters is that they ONLY post when the team is shitting the bed and at that point, they aren't interested in a discussion .. they are just noise. We give people a lot of leeway to discuss their views and yes, from time to time, things get heated. Some of that stems from the fact that we've "known" each other for a decade or more and sometimes familiarity DOES breed contempt. *shrug*

Pruned a couple of posts from this topic for obvious reasons .. also just trimmed some associated comments (just friendly fire here guys, no need to be alarmed). Please keep to football related discussion.

With the issues SSK is having just being able to field NIs at the moment .. I can't imagine them parting with Demski at all .. heh.

We actually ran more in the first half than we did the second (11 designed running plays to 10 - 9 if you count a Nichols scramble). The difference is that we had markedly better starting field position and ran more offensive plays overall in the first. We simply kept Hamilton off the field. In the second half, we *were* more productive on first down .. we simply failed to convert and, as I alluded to earlier, ran almost 50% fewer plays in the second half of the game.

This. I am all for giving the "second half offense" under Nichols the benefit of the doubt but for a unit that is really struggling to find success over the course of 60 minutes, I hate seeing any kind of let down. The offense needs an identity, keep a foot on the throat of your opponent and do not let them off the mat. All that said, this win is very nice and I'm enjoying it.

Let's Go Blue!!

I wish I didn't have to be up at 4am or I'd head back to the stadium .. So .. close ..
