Rich - this generous decision by Marshall and Fox Creek inspired me to match the $100 donation to the Christmas Cheer Board. I dedicated my $100 donation to "Richard Harris and Morning Big Blue". I challenge other posters here to make the same donation. Let's give until it hurts MBB community! (or not, totally up to you lol).... Financial Donations | Christmas Cheer Board

Right it was the tackle. Just sends the guy ass over tea kettle, hilarious.

There was another play, I think in the OT, where Jefferson just tosses the RB aside like a rag doll trying to get to Masoli. I think it was the play before the INT, IIRC. I didn't get a chance to re-watch yesterday as I got engrossed in the Jets game, something that hasn't happened to me in awhile lol...

Please pick Chris Jones!! Please pick Chris Jones!!

yes, good point. I hope we bring him back, and that we never have to find out...lol...

Very true Booch. Unfortunately the one area no team can really boast about depth is at QB. What would have happened if Zach had gone down in week 4 for an extended period of time? Would we still have kept rolling? I don't know. I just hope that the Mafia look at ways for us to get better depth at that position in the off season.

and I love it...

Congrats Fox Creek! Kudos to you for your great picking strategy, but next year... lol

I'll never get tired of watching that OT, so when I watch it again today I'll look for Woli. It was funny watching Adeleke throwing his hands up going "WTF" as Bailey was basically uncovered. You could also hear all the air get sucked out of that stadium on that catch, as the fans just all collectively went "Oh no, we not only need to score, we need to get two points after we score, on one of the best defenses in the past 50 years in the CFL, maybe ever". The look on Needy B's face said it all, they knew they were done.

Very true. I just hope we don't lose too many vital parts of the machine that has kept the steady flow of quality players coming in for several years now. Number one on the list for me would be a QB. We can't ride the Zach train forever, or wait and hope that Strevs' NFL aspirations finally end.

yeah, you have to think, knowing what he knows now, would Lapo have taken the head coaching gig in Ottawa?

So is Adam Lowry going to be taking first team reps now? LOL...no coincidence...

Yes Edmonton got blessed with so many good players in that exact same time frame both on the Oilers and Esks, it was a tragedy to see both teams win so often back then. Going into games knowing you were going to lose, no matter what. Kind of like how it was for teams that played the Bombers this year I guess...lol...

Rocket Ismail!

and right up there, our 2012 line up (sans Buck) of QB's - Justin Goltz, Joey Elliott, Alex Brink and some guy named R.J. Archer(?) who must have been a late season PR pickup....hall of famers! Lol - wow was our QB stable bad....

Whoever takes over, I hope that they instill the FIFO mentality. I realize in a sport where one guy makes more than an entire CFL team payroll that that isn't always that easy, but I don't see how a team of individuals can ever succeed, and that's what I see with the Jets right now, not a lot of team chemistry.

Did you see who Moon's back up was in 1983? LOL

Weird that all it took was Campbell leaving as coach for that team to fall down. Especially with all of that talent still in the stable and such an amazing QB as Moon still at the controls. Not sure what happened there.

That game made me wretch. Was at the gym on a treadmill beside another Jets fan and asked him what he thought of the Sabres game and he just about had a meltdown. It was the final straw.

Moon was playing in that 1983 semi-final game that Winnipeg won, wasn't he? Campbell had left after 1982 and went to the LA Express and then to the Oilers in 1984, where Moon joined him.

yeah, finally. Boy that felt good.

Yup I grew up hating Edmonton more than anything. I had to live through that period where they won 5 straight cups. And we never ever beat them. They always found a way to win, even if it was on sketchy roughing the passer calls on John Helton. That being said, five straight Bomber cups sure would be nice. Only three more to go! ok, then let's just call it luck on that kick-off that the ball bounced at just the right time such that it went high enough so that the returner couldn't bring it down, but low enough where he could still touch it before it went out of bounds. The Bomber bounce lol... Or maybe Sergio just planned it that way lol...

Also - I am glad that the organization handled it this way, and gave Paul the option to resign. It is hard when you hold someone in such high esteem, and I always hate seeing coaches fired mid season, like Mack did to LaPo. I would hope that if the situation ever came where it was time for MOS to leave (argh I hate that I even wrote that) that it would be handled in a similar fashion. Just my two cents.

Huddy should be following him out the door as well. Thanks Paul for all you did for us. Time to move on to the next adventure.
