WINNIPEG, MB., October 6, 2016 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed International wide receiver Tori Gurley.
Gurley (6-4, 230, South Carolina, November 22, 1987 in Rock Hill, SC) has spent the past two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts. In 2015, Gurley finished tied for the CFL lead in receiving touchdowns with nine, while hauling in 58 receptions for 791 yards. In ten games this season for Toronto, Gurley recorded 36 receptions for 509 yards and five touchdowns.
Prior to joining the Argos in June of 2015, Gurley had spent the previous four seasons in the NFL, including time with the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, San Diego Chargers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneer. In 27 games at South Carolina, he caught 76 passes for 910 yards and six touchdowns with the Gamecocks.

Gurley and Elliott both likely making hardly much more than an entry level salary and they're not really in a position to demand a pay bump (even if their production warrants it) after they've been released.
They would be light on the pocketbook for sure.

Quite frankly, I think Milanovich has lost it. First he chooses Ray over Collaros and then Harris. Then he talks up Willy before trading for him, which drives up the price he has to pay. Then he over pays big time in draft picks, players and takes on a huge contract for a backup reclamation project QB. Then he fires 3 of his best receivers. Then he says that the Argos are a better team because of it. Oh yah! Almost forgot that his team is most likely not going to make the playoffs this year.
Yet, here we all stand.

I hate this argument with a passion. Pros make obvious mistakes all the time. Who here believed that the Argos were better off going with Ray than Trevor Harris? What did the Argos do?
Hindsight is always 20/20 isn't it?
Pros make mistakes, but no one can say that the Argos made a mistake by trading for Drew just yet. Give him time to get acclimated, learn the full offense and most importantly, have an actual training camp next season, then see what happens from there.

Combination of salary issues and arguing with the coach on the sidelines from what I saw.
I'd like to see him in WPg. Guy always seemed to have good hands and is a big guy, which we lack.
In terms of salary, I highly doubt that any of the three were a concern at this time.

But that was a play he wasn't allowed to challenge though.
That's a shame. After watching the replay of that catch, Durant certainly didn't look like a guy who was confident the ground didn't help him keep that one in his arms. I would have liked to have seen the replay from the other side.

Why?
Too much being left up to chance when killing the clock like that. Harris got tackled with 2 seconds left. Had he not been brought down when he was (say he runs another 10 yards) there is no time left to kick the field goal and we are off to OT for no reason.
-
That last play before the GW field goal and we let 15 of the 23 seconds left go down off the clock after the whistle. Blows my mind, and makes me want to claw my eyes out.

I am still not sold on Bass as a MLB. He was great as an outside linebacker but even though he has been getting better, he is still roadkill on too many running plays. Messam is going to demolish him.
I have a feeling we won't see Messam this week.

I was at a wedding on the weekend and a friend of the groom lives in Regina and has been a corporate sponsor of the Riders for over 20 years. So in his words he's lived thru the best of times and the worst of times with this team. Not only is he a corporate sponsor but he also has 6 season tickets for his entire family.
This is the first year that he's questioned if he wants his business associated with the Rider brand. The PR cheating and the Khalif Mitchell move is what he said has pushed him near the edge. He was a huge an of the Jones hiring but his arrogance has him wondering if he's the right guy for the job.
He's a rider fan thru and thru and he'll never give up his season tickets but he's seriously thinking about continuing his corporate sponsorship. So I asked him if they fired Jones, would he continue with his sponsorship. He said absolutely.
This HAS to be a concern for the Riders front office. I can see quite a few sponsors feeling this same way right now. It's not just your business, it's your reputation.

Interesting to hear that Lawless asked him about a trade. What do you think the Blue would have to give up to get him in Blue and Gold?
Wouldn't have to give up anything for him.

But 1.5 TD per game by the O.
My figure was based on when the offense started the drive, regardless if it was punt/kick return, or whether the defense forced a turnover.
If you're basing the 1.5 on conventional drives started just by kick return, then that's a sore stat.

Nichols' inability to put 7s on the board has gone very under the radar is all I'm saying. For all the opportunities he's had ... it's not a great record of success.
Average # of TD's scored in the last 4 games: 2.25
Average # of FG's scored in the last 4 games: 4
Kind of lopsided when we've scored an average of 33.25 points over the same period.

No it's using the facts to justify the viewpoint.
You use the fact that the teams we've beaten are sub .500, when Edmonton was 2-2, Hamilton was 3-2 and Toronto was 4-2.

Should also be noted that they won 3 of those games with a back up QB. 4 rookies in the secondary, and a couple rookie receivers. I don't understand the logic in stating all the issues with the teams they played while at the same time completely ignoring the faults on the bombers roster.
I get that the teams they beat weren’t playing with all the players they wanted to be. But the bombers weren’t either. And at the end of the day, none of that matters. They won.
Logic is irrelevant to some.

Matt Nichols To Be "Mic-ed Up" This Weekend
in Blue Bomber Discussion

The most economical individual seats at IGF are $25.75/ea. Cheapest seats by team (regular seating, non-youth):
Lions: $35
Stampeders: $34.50
Eskimos: $30
Riders: $36
Argonauts: $20
Ticats: $35.50
Alouettes: $29
RedBlacks: $27
Ticats and Alouettes have general admission areas that are $27 and $25 respectively.
If you are a family of 4 I almost always recommend the Co-op Family 4-Pack which is 4 tickets in the end zone and a parking pass for $125. That's a $60 savings.
