  1. Each of those quarterbacks have previous CFL exposure .. expecting an American QB to come in here and make any sort of impact without having previously experienced the league is not in the realm of realistic. (Smith was on the Argos PR last year)
  2. What are you trying to do to me? First Drew Willy gets hurt now you wanna rag on Oregon's jerseys? I've just about had it with today! Hey I like the jersey's .. posted knowing you were an Oregon fan.
  3. On the plus side, check out Oregon's new jersey's (not an attempt to derail .. just adding a bit of levity):
  4. Just merged the related Willy injury discussions. Carry on!
  5. So reminiscent of how this organization failed to protect Khari ... what's the point of investing in a franchise quarterback if you are incapable of protecting him .. that .. first and foremost .. NEEDS to be the priority.
  6. @Wpg_BlueBombers Drew Willy out 6-8 weeks with tibial plateau fracture & partial PCL tear in his right knee. Forgive me when I say this ... **** .
  7. Trying too hard to make something happen .. best returners make one move and get up field .. he's dancing around too much or thinking he can get outside of everyone (his blocking included) to make a play. Never should have taken Veltung off returns. Case of fixing something that wasn't broke.
  8. As much as I love the Rider plight .. so much bad Juju associated with this thread .. going to have to sacrifice something to the football gods to keep on their good side (and stay somewhere close to .500 on our season).
  9. He makes our team better when he's on the field, so whatever you want to call him, he's a pivotal part of this team. Please also quote your stats properly. Nothing irks me more. http://www.cfl.ca/roster/show/id/4795 2012 SSK 69 95 72.6 709 43 5 5.3 4 4.2 93.7 2013 SSK 32 52 61.5 473 45 4 7.7 1 1.92 108.9 2014 WPG 305 478 63.8 3,769 58 14 2.9 16 3.35 83.9 2015 WPG 107 156 68.6 1,434 79 8 5.1 3 1.92 106.6 Career Total 513 781 65.7 6,385 79 31 4 24 3.1 91.3 Why let facts get in the way of thumping ones chest.
  10. Because upbacks fail to maintain or make a block .. I'm looking at Jesse Briggs on the first one this year .. missed who it was tonight .. I'll catch it when I re watch the game.
  11. Because BCs defence is nothing to write home about. We SHOULD look good (or at least competent) against BC - they aren't a very good team.
  12. Whatever works!
  13. Who is hurt that we can do this? Who comes out? Gibson.
  14. Heh .. I think that when I see Pontbriand catch the ball and get a head of steam going .. JFG .. not so much.
  15. While Durants salary won't count against the cap I heard he had a sizeable bonus that will Pretty typical of Taman's cap management approach so it wouldn't surprise me.
  16. Gambled on 3rd down rather than going for a 48 yard field goal with a kicker who is playing lights out. I meant to ask, why do people dislike Chris Jones personally? He seems ok to me. Just his thoughts and mentality on some things. His first year as head coach he refused the traditional handshake after a game with the opposing coach because he felt that it wasn't "genuine" . Apparently he has relented and shakes hands this year because he didn't want to bring "negative' publicity to the club, but I'm sure he still thinks it is an empty gesture. He may feel it's an empty gesture and I can appreciate not wanting to hear 'consolation' after a loss .. that said .. it's about good sportsmanship and the one thing I've always admired about the sport of hockey is that post series handshake .. those guys beat each other up .. it can get ugly .. but at the end of a series there's that show of respect for the guys competing across from you. I guess one could infer that Jones simply doesn't respect his opponents.
  17. The issue isn't that people are against having to provide ID in order to vote (whomever believes that is taking an incredibly simplistic view of things) .. it's that you are potentially disenfranchising 500k+ voters who could prove their ID but not their current address. Typically, people falling into this group are students or people who have recently moved .. but also impacts the elderly living in long term care facilities and First Nations who live on reserves. One method of verifying your address was the use of Voter ID Cards (those mail outs you get from Elections Canada at election time). In the last election, about 400k voters used the Voter ID Card as a method of corroborating their address - the Fair Elections Act eliminates its use. The other issue is that it allows parties to game the system in ridings where there may be a tight race. Party officials can challenge IDs, holding up / causing lines to back up and people simply leave without casting their vote. So why was this done? Potential voter fraud. There's no evidence of voter fraud and, as noted by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2012, the issue of voting irregularities wasn't one of fraud but of inconsistent training of and mistakes committed by elections officials. They found that the people who voted were eligible and voted in good faith. In fact, an EC compliance audit (completed before the SCC ruling) came to the same conclusion and recommended (among other things) that paperwork be simplified for elections officials dealing with people with ID issues, better training and more widespread use of the Voter ID Card. Instead, the Fair Elections Act simply makes it harder for people a segment of the population to vote and does nothing to address the root cause of the problem. C-23 was a terrible bill and actually does more harm to our elections process than it does good. But this is what you get when you limit debate on legislation and rush things through the House.
  18. This is Robotech man .. Keep that Transformer garbage out of this thread!
  19. This was my Saturday morning while I was growing up ..
  20. Just cleaned up some of the posts (moved the toon related discussion to General). Please keep it going there if you'd like.
  21. Ugh rocket Robin Hood pleeeeaase noooo What the hell is a Rocket Robin Hood?
  22. Moore, Denmark, Adams, Veltung and Kohlert? Now THAT's a receiving core. They could run sweeps with Veltung/Denmark/Cotton and keep the defense guessing. Run some cross-buck action ...
  23. Backlash from left leaning voters for the Liberal support of C-51.
  24. Wonder what Albert Johnson III is up to ..
