im truly stunned that the concept of not caring, not watching, not paying attention are even being discussed, let alone acted upon.

its the bombers for christ sakes, the reason for this forum.. shitty, embarrassing or horrendous to bare thru, its our football team we claim to be fans of and love so much..

 

I think it's a matter of "I care too much", so I just can't watch the games anymore.  It would be like watching your faithful dog get kicked and beaten by hooligans while you are tied down and helpless - it would hurt to watch that for sure, and that's how I feel watching the Bombers this year.  There's nothing I can do to stop the beatings, so I'd rather just not watch at all.

A majority of posters on Riderfans are saying they'd deal Willy for him. I'd be all over that. I don't know if Willy will turn into a starter, but getting him for the expiring contract of an import de who most likely won't come back is more than worth it.

 

Willy plus a pick - 2nd round - and this is done and done.

I highly doubt Hall will be back.

 

He's not a big fan of the situation here.

 

I can relate.  I'm not a big fan of the situation either....

 

I don't know much, but I do know the fastest way to screw something up is to let government run it.  They'll be still arguing over their climate change policy, and how many disabled trangendered Asian people need to be on the board to be ensure no discrimination, while the team has given up and moved to Saskatoon.

I forgot to add that on the next play after Reilly got his head smoked, when he was in the shotgun he totally bobbled the snap.  He was probably seeing three or four footballs at the time.  How he made that TD throw is amazing, given he was on another planet at the time.

I still can't believe they put him back in the game, even for one play.

 

I watched that TD throw that Reilly made on the next play, he just kind of threw it up and let Chambers catch it, then he stumbled around wondering what sideline to go to.  He was completely gone, his eyes were totally unfocussed.  I just can't understand what they are doing in Edmonton.

@Kelowna.... If he's cleared to play by doctors, case closed as I see it.

 

Dave Campbell's response to my tweet saying it didn't make much sense to force him back into action.

not sure how wise it is to rush your QB back into playing only a week after he took such a horrible hit to the head.  I watched that hit, downright awful.  Not sure how Reilly got up from that.

Mike Reilly taking the first team reps in the walk through portion of practice this morning

Maybe Chris Jones is Bombers HC next season. He wants to be in charge & has been overlooked in the past. The guy is ready. He has had more success than Dave & has been a coordinator longer. Won Grey Cups in Calgary & Toronto as a DC. In Calgary he also assisted in player personnel. He seems like a decisive guy. Certainly more than Burke ever will be. But that's the risk... Hire another guy with no CFL HC experience. It could be a great or terrible decision.

Meanwhile in Toronto at the CFL offices there's a guy named Higgins...

 

And Burke two won cups in Montreal as DC. But I hear you on Jones.  That guy is a total son of a be-yatch, much like Cal Murphy used to be.

 

 

 

Looks like it might have been Randle's choice to leave.

GOD & Family decision our choice. Doing what's best for My family. Always have faith.

Bad sign that people get a whiff of this poo show and bolt. This season cannot end fast enough.

not too swift on the uptake? he apparently has am NFL sniff and didnt want to commit to a 1 + 1 deal..

 

 

 

Oh sorry I missed that.  Other then it being mentioned in this thread.  Which is of course the same as official confirmation. 

 

 

Are you sure you're not a member of the Winnipeg media?  Your instincts to jump to the negative conclusion in every circumstance is something they value and cherish.

Reilley better change the way he plays or his brains will be like scrambled eggs. The hit was vicious but he put himself  in that position  so it has to be on him to take care of himself.

 

The Esks have the luxury of two QB masterminds currently looking for work - Mike Kelly and Gary Crowton - capable of designing packages and coming up with plays to make sure Reilly is more protected from now on.  Oh the surfeit of riches of available talent!

 

Dickenson as head coach, Khari Jones as OC, please please please please please

 

 

 

 

Add Collaros as QB and you've got yourself a sold out barn next year.

Should have signed in Winnipeg - he could have been on the nine game by week 5!  At any rate, saw this coming, and it's too bad.  Kid was having a heck of a good season on a craptacular team.  I never saw this game so didn't see what happened, I'll watch the replay on TSN broadband.

Eskimos quarterback Reilly out indefinitely with concussion

 

The Edmonton Eskimos say quarterback Mike Reilly is out indefinitely with a concussion, and dispute suggestions they should have pulled him from the game after he took the vicious blow to the back of his head.

Team general manager Ed Hervey says staff will monitor Reilly’s progress and then make a determination when — or if — he comes back this season.

 

looks like all the huge hits finally took their toll on Reilly this week and he finally got hurt.  Too bad, two weeks too late.  It would have been fantastic to have had to face Kerry Joseph in a back to back series.

 

People forget that last year was still the Lapo offence and not the new and improved Crowton offence of this year.

No entirely true, Crowton put more and more of his stuff in as the year went on last year. All those improvements were credited to him putting his stuff in. The new and improved stuff for this year was done for one reason, to try and prevent Pierce from getting crippled, but PIerce can't play that way so they scrambled to try and change it... and PIerce got hurt. The real ironic part is that a quick release offence is actually something that would benefit Elliott more than Pierce. Just a giant **** up in thought process from the get go. 

 

 

This is me every time you bring up Elliott....

 

Lilo would fit in well with us Bomber fans...

 

 

it sucks when your team is in a place where the outcome of a particular game means less than looking ahead to next season's roster (trust me, i've been there a few times) but i view this interregnum period with Miller at the helm as a big positive for the Bombers and the potential is there for a 1 year turnaround.. 

 

Yeah bluto this season for the WBB reminds me a lot of the Andrus year the Argos had to endure.  Same kind of situation, no QB, a coach who just looked lost all year, only hope is for next year when the team can clear the decks, bring in some better coaching talent and rebuild.

"Tyler Pencer Should be Ready, but Isn't: Bombers' Burke"

 

Guess they had a free agent editor exodus.

 

Tyler is Tyson's even meaner twin brother. 

Fire Cortez,  Bombers then hire him as HC next season?

 

yeah hire the guy that finished even worse than us last year...nope.  I'd rather give Dickenson a shot at the HC job.
