I get that Sheppard does well at other aspects of the game but man I can't understand why he plays and Mayo doesn't. Is the primary job of a receiver not to get open and catch the ball? Seems to me that Mayo is better at that then Sheppard.
He's a good blocker - better fit for Lapos dink & dunk gameplan

I always find discoveries like this to be very interesting.
The Titanic exhibit in Vegas was amazing.. it would be awesome to do the same for this. Maybe change the human rights museum to more of a Canadian history museum and have this as an attraction.
I don't disagree. I'll go to the Manitoba Museum rather than the Museum of Human Rights
The Titanic exhibit in Wpg was one of the best displays I've ever seen

Idiot drunks ruining things for kids. These people should be outed somehow and be forced to be embarrassed. The pathetic part in all this is its probably people who go on one of the bombers sites
I'm not sure why that would matter?

We do have to admit that there were games where teams were marching up and down the field - the difference in the game was usually getting turnovers at the right time.

Sometimes teams are mediocre because of the QB tho. Football and hockey man. .. the 2 sports where 1 guy can make the difference between being a playoff team or not... QB and Goaltending. Lots of similarities there
Goaltending used to be, not anymore. Most Stanley Cup champs are capable of winning with average goaltending - and they do.

The debate will be finally solved. Willy will be given a chance to start in Toronto and I predict mediocre results.
They've done a lousy job protecting Ray and have now acquired another pocket passer.

The fact that you do want to go back to a qb who's 1-4 on a 7-4 team doesnt make you wrong but it does call into question your decision making.
I'm pretty sure he's #2 on depth chart

Ya, no. If he made faster decisions and helped relieve the pressure himself that wouldn't have been the case. The biggest misunderstanding I find occurs here is people think our offensive line did this magical 180 when Nichols went in. Not so. Our new starter simply makes fast reads and dumps the ball away when there's pressure.
He also takes a lot of hits but stands in the pocket and gets the ball out. Happened several times yesterday. Willy did himself no favours and is absolutely as much to blame for him getting knocked around as our line.
That's the truth. He wasn't a golden boy 400k bonafide star qb so many of us do desperately wanted to believe he was. He was a mistake. To the credit of MOS he was able to identify it and move on in time to save his job and our season. I'm now firmly in support of O'Shea and will eat crow on him being a good coach at this point.
No, the biggest misconception is that it needs to be one or the other. At some point I would like to see I would what Willy can do behind the revamped OL - that doesn't make me wrong and it doesn't mean I believe in some mythical 180

2014 Willy was good backup we need to keep. 2016 Willy, not so much. If Nichols goes down, our season goes with him, unless Davis plays better than expected or we keep Willy and he returns to a pre-2016 version of him.

It'd be a miracle if we beat Calgary, but our D seems to match up well against the Esks O

Should be able to beat the Argos without Ray and give the Andrew Harris the time recoup.
Man - can't believe we're actually having these conversations...

Great game - with both Reilly and Mitchell grinding it out under pressure.
Odell Willis has taken costly penalties over the years, but this could be the most costly one yet. In case you missed it, he was offside, giving Mitchell another shot at a 2 point convert in OT.
Richie Hall better check the film - Esks were getting pretty good pressure on Mitchell.

TD's in garbage time to pad stats and make the score respectable - we've been down this road.

That's crappy. I love watching Ray play. Awesome QB.
I can't remember the year, but one season he was absolutely heroic for the Esks, playing behind a shoddy OL. IIRC he threw for 5000 yards that year.

let's not sell Bluegrass short.....some of the greatest musicians of all time, like Earl and Randy Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs and Marty Stuart.....
Yep, pure talent; no special effects needed. Good harmony that isn't manufactured is becoming almost a thing of the past.

It's the cfl... IMO unless you are down by 30 plus and it's under 3 minutes it isn't garbage time. Cuz seen it countless times... teams get up big... back off.... other team comes back and scores and occasionally even win the game. Winnipeg vs BC with Jyles is an ecample. Garbage time? Nope. It's the CFL. ... you play till the final whistle. If a team backs off... you make them pay. Was it garbage time when Hamilton came back and beat Edmonton earlier in the year?
To answer the question: no
However, there is no doubt that opposing D's used softer coverage, dropped back deeper and gave up short to medium passes more readily when they had a solid lead on the Bombers. Would they do the same thing for most of the final quarter or even the half against Collaros or Mitchell? Probably not - because there is a greater chance it would bite them in the butt.
Let's call a spade a spade. Most of Drew Willy's yard were garbage yards. If they weren't, he would still be the Bombers' starting QB.

I think Murphy is good at finding talent
Exactly. There have been several teams in recent history who turned things around quickly - as long as they had a decent QB and some core Canadians to build around.
