  1. Just the fact that he pulled off the Ricky Ray trade should keep him there for a decade or so.
  2. No one has to "support a gay lifstyle"- all people have to do is treat them the same as everyone else with the same rights and priviledges. Sexuality is not a digital either "perfectly straight" or "totally gay" choice. Sexuality is an analog thing along a sliding scale and homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom as well. I have seen a few examples of homosexuality in animals, but only when the other option wasn't available. I have also seen bulls and boars beat each other into a bloody pulp. At any rate, I don't think comparisons to the animal kingdom help homosexual rights very much. For example, many male mammals and birds do nothing to help raise their offspring. Do we then use that example to defend deadbeat dads?
  3. Or the scouting and recruitment down south needs to get better. I'm hoping for a shut down American left tackle.
  4. I can see where you're coming from. After so many years of futility it's becoming harder and harder to believe that they'll get it right.
  5. I think we'll see alternatives to oil in the near future. The key is to have a variety of energy sources. I'm somewhat concerned about Canada's narrow outlook.
  6. If someone chooses to live a high-risk lifestyle, be it LGBTQ or otherwise, they will still encounter situations where they have to deal with certain sanctions. The ability to donate blood is one of these, and for very good reasons.
  7. Considering some of our International receivers this past year...going after a guy like Ernest Jackson has merit...
  8. I'm nervous about the fact that it's even an argument...
  9. It's an indoor GC...Burris might have done well...
  10. Your next OC won't be able to do that either. Any opposing D worth their salt will shut down the run and make your rookie throw more. The best you can usually hope for with a rookie QB is your defense keeping the game close or perhaps chipping in with turnovers and points. You have good points for sure. I just can't justify losing that many games without Durant. Terribly predictable play calling also. No sense moving beyond a vanilla scheme if the QB can't execute it. Who's your QB coach? Either your young QBs were incompetent or he did a poor job of preparing them. Guys like Marve (2014) and Collaros (2013) are proof that it can work if prep is done proactively throughout the season.

  12. It's always uncomfortable bringing dates home when you live with mom. Especially when you're 47...
  13. That seems to be a chronic problem with all crews...some games I almost wonder if it isn't by design to protect the QBs.
  14. There were also games where Pav was outstanding but the Jets still lost. eg. vs. Pittsburgh
  15. Calgary isn't going to gift wrap 28 points the way the Als did. Stamps will win, they might even shut them out.
  16. The Als Defense deserved better yesterday - great game by them. Without special teams and 747 Crompton dishing up TDs - the game is not even close. Then again - all the woulda, coulda, shouldas ran away and hid...
  17. It's obvious that Reilly wasn't going to have a long term CFL career, but Jones is doing everything he can to expedite that process. Which brings the pocket passers vs. scramblers debate to mind...
  18. I'm not sure why he hasn't already...
  19. Yeah, their run game may have worked here and there, but they used it far too much and made it easy to get stuffed after a while. And when Sunseri -or whoever was in as QB- actually did throw the football, it would go to someone like Schilens or Swain rather than throwing to our main core like Dressler and Getzlaf. They didn't throw to our good WRs enough. Because as I said, predictable and easy to defend. Seriously you had rookie qbs in (or a dumb Joseph). Take away the big threats and trust that the young guys won't be able to go through as many reads. You are clearly too used to having a good qb like Durant behind centre and don't understand the extent that a wet behind the ears limits what an offense can do. Do you have make him sound like an idiot - even when he basically agrees with you?
  20. I'm uncomfortable with the direction this thread is going...
  21. What's with the infatuation with 300 yard games? The leaders in this stat. were Ray and Willy, despite the flying pigskins neither managed to secure a playoff spot for their teams. In the end oddly wins seem to count more than passing yards. Since we're playing chicken and egg...Michael Bishop: 11-1
  22. More Canadians on the OL...while we're at it...
