  1. When the Crow has an effective O running consistently......then I'll call him a "guru".  

     

    Frankly, midway through the season....that O, still looked like a LaPolice production - which probably irked Mack (after demanding radical change).    We still slipped into some bad habits, near the end of the season - like not using Simpson in the redzone and falling back into that stupid "horizontal" passing attack, at times.

     

    But its a clean slate, this year.

     

    That last game especially, we went 100% with Volny....what was Crowton thinking???

  2. Crowton's offense got progressively better last year. You could see him making adjustments as far as dropping plays that weren't working, etc, as he found his groove. Looking forward to see what he can do with a full year of his own offense.

     

    Yes that at least is one big improvement, dropping plays that weren't working and were never going to work.  Lapo seemed to have all the characteristics of an extremely stubborn person in terms of not wanting to give up on plays that the defences of the league had seen before, knew were coming in advance, and were not going to work anymore.  That 20 yard out to Kito Poblah standing still at the line of scrimmage was a perfect example.  Lapo called that play over and over again and Kito got murdered every time.  The defence knew it was coming.  By the time the ball got to Kito there were 3 DB's and an LB standing there smiling waiting to destroy him.  I'm glad that Crowton has looked at the playbook and simplified it.  When you get too complicated, guys make mistakes.  And QB's and WR's get hurt.

  3. Intensity rising at #Bombers workout as a fight breaks out. Looked like Alex Suber took a swing at one of the WRs

     

    Near brawl at #Bombers camp. Punches thrown. Looked like Suber lost it. Burke punishment drill follows.

     

    Another fight breaks out at Blue Bomber training camp. Coach Tim Burke responds by making entire team do man makers over length of field

  4. A lot of people would rage in an epic way. You think Mack is unpopular now the shitstorm that would cause would be a sight to behold... but I personally would be ok because I trust that if they say he's not good enough or not showing the required effort that there's a good replacement who will put in the effort. You remember how people reacted to Clint Kent being cut? Turn that up to 11 and that's the reaction if Hefney got the boot because he is a name and he's popular.

    I don't think they should cut Hefney out-right, but if he's dogging it and not bringing it then at least put him on the 46 man and make him sit and think about his bad attitude and lack of effort for awhile, and see if THAT finally wakes him up.

  5. Well then, why bother with a player having a valid contract or even having the CFL then? Why are we even here discussing football??? Let's just blow the CFL all up because we obviously underpay our players & the league is therefore  a POS.

    yikes - a bit of an over-reaction there - it's 5 pm in Calgary Iso - time to start pouring the Crown Royal eh? ;)

  6. yeah I think it should have been Bud Grant, if only because he is still alive and maybe (?) could have attended this gate event.  Plus, he freaking deserves it and is a big part of building the old Bomber mythology of being the best team in the league year in and year out.  Imagine the line of wheelchairs, strollers and oxygen tanks lined up down the concourse to shake Bud's hand at his gate....

  7. The only thing I would have like to have seen in this episode was the part in the book when Catelyn is watching Rob getting killed she covers her face and rips her face to shreds with her nails.

    Honestly having read all the books before the show came out, they've done a fantastic job overall, and IMO in terms of overall quality GOT has to be up there with Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, etc.

    Not sure about the hate for the show, or even the nerd comments, this isn't twilight, harry potter, star trek or star wars.

     

    Also thought I'd add that, I'm sure Strongside is happy with this season, that cave scene probably made his day.

    Seriously?  You'd want to see that?  I had another guy who read the book tell me that and I said dude you are totally demented.  That's just sick.

  8. that play we ran against Toronto with Simpson and Ford where the entire line swept right  and Buck faked the pitch to Simpson and then did a small toss to Ford running full speed against the grain was a thing of beauty.  Ford ran that down the field for like a 50 yard gain.  Imagine all the misdirection we could run with 3 RB's in formation.
