Toronto did not bring many starters, we still got smoked. What's the excuse for that?
it was pre-season. That's the excuse. And it's a damn good one.

Rotating every series is a head scratcher. Give each guy a quarter & like Hall said, establish a rhythm.
and if they had done that then everyone would be saying that it wasn't fair that Hall saw Hamilton's second team defence while Clement got to go against 3rd string. I have no doubt that whatever Burke did, someone would have complained.

they like football? they live here?
If they like football why go to an Argos game? Yuck. That said, I guess someone has to go.

you made me do it...
if you like... i can show you the parades from the other 4 Grey Cups we've won since your last one also...
Seriously? You have pictures from other Grey Cups? I guess I'd like to see the 1991 and 2004 pics, those were the only Grey Cup you guys have won in the last few decades where the league didn't hand you a franchise QB. The 1991 and 2004 Cups were the two I didn't mind you guys winning - 1991 because of Dunigan and John Candy and 2004 because of the feel good of Damon Allen winning it, you don't often see a grandfather winning a Cup!

was over 50k along the route and at City Hall for the presentation. big success. (have to say though that likely half of them were downtown worker types who just took their elevator down for their smoke-break... but nonetheless, it was great to see and it got lots of coverage on anything not owned by Rogers)
heh yeah and 49,500 of them were all thinking the same thing - who are these guys and why are they holding that silver thing over their heads?
-
why would the Muambas go to a game where their kids aren't even playing? Are they doing some scouting?

Agree regarding last night. As a stand alone it was meaningless. If guys want to take my legitimate concerns and dismiss them because "I'm just some negatron overeacting to a a pre-season game" that's cool but the real games are about to start and if you feel optimistic about this year's team then God love ya.
thanks Grapes!

Surely you can't compare that team with the players it had to the team last night. You can easily shrug off what happened to the Bombers in 1962 as just a bad night. With this team you can't do that as easily. This team doesn't have the experience, legacy, confidence or identity the other had. Also, Bud Grant would never have played an all rookie team.
actually Iso, that's exactly what Bud Grant did in 1962 when they lost 53-0. Exactly.

best start planing the parade route in that case!
hey hey - that's a good idea - because someone might actually show up to ours!

I think you're overlooking the fact that the Eskimos brought in Mike Reilly................
No, trust me. Not overlooking that at all. The fact that he was tied or barely ahead of Nichols in camp says a lot to me. Also his crap-tastic performance in the pre-season game didn't exactly inspire much confidence either. That said, he lights it up in the game tomorrow and I may hold out some hope for Edmonton this year. But not much.

I didn't think Etienne and Poblah were even competing for similar receiving positions anymore.
Haven't they decided to move Poblah into the slot?
I expect their plan is to swap between having two Canadian slots + two American WR and 1 NI Slot, 1 IMP slot, 1 NI WR and 1 NI Imp

Yes, the noise was a factor the first few years the Lions played at BC Place.... I don't think any team evr got used to it. They just had to cope with it.
I am hoping that's how IGF is going to be this year - so loud that teams can't deal with it on offense. The 13th man could be a real weapon. If the fans actually get to their seats.
-
I want to see Zach Anderson make Hank cry, like Muamba did to him last year.
-
Burke is using what he learned from Trestman? Oh man, what a terrible mentor!
-
they probably have 100 posters, but it's just Snuggles and Bluto with 50 different aliases each.
-
Zontar aka Dr. Snuggles - come on man - give it up! We'd do it for you!

what I remember most was that the Bombers said in the 1983 final that they couldn't hear anything because it was so loud (83 was the first year for BC Place, so no teams were prepared for the noise), so in 84 they used some kind of special ear plugs and practiced with loud crowd noise to counter-act the noise. 1984 was a totally different game. Of course it helped that Clements could actually play that game. Clements had a habit of getting injured a lot too. He played the Grey Cup game almost completely numb from the Novocaine shots as he had some seriously damaged ribs.

I'm told be a very reliable source the #Als have cut Quinton Porter. That means rookie Tanner Marsh has made the team.
