Losing Randle sucks cause clearly he is well respected in the locker room and a pros pro, but it's a cap world and given that this team can scout DBs better than any other position moves like this have to be made. (Every offseason there's a big DB cut). I will be hopelessly optimistic and hope that he decides to come back with a bit of a haircut but I somehow doubt that. I'll bet Chris Jones throws a pile of money at him.

Right now they are, they're playing chicken hoping that people blame the Democrats, but I don't think it's playing out that way and people are rightly pointing their fingers at a Republican president, this coupled with the latest from Mueller means that it's only a matter of time until the senate drops Trump like bad habit and goes into self preservation. Hell even Fox News is starting to poke holes in Trump. The GOP cares more about the GOP than they do Trump and the second Trump is bad for the GOP they'll try and pull the "see, we stopped this mad man! love us!"

I am not so sure about that. The unity behind Trump is eroding, he is a useful idiot but if you think for a second that the GOP will put their well being second to Trump getting his way with a wall that most of them don't even want you're deluded. This idea that Trump is the only one that can motivate their base is ridiculous. That base is so ****** they'll vote for any republican, they should be much more concerned about driving anyone who is even a little bit of a moderate R right into the hands of the Democrats because Trumps base is too small to carry elections.

The senate will get their heads outta their asses before Trump backs down and they'll get funding without needing the president. They're just playing stupid games with people's lives right now, but you take away people's paycheques and they get angry and angry people vote assholes out of office pretty quick, they won't want to risk that. Can you imagine if in 2020 the Democrats won the senate and the presidency to go along with congress all because Donny Shithead wanted to build a wall? Republicans everywhere would lose their ******* minds.

probably look exactly the same as it did in BC since he's a pretty one dimensional quarterback. Guy just isn't smart enough a player to use all his tools to his advantage.

God the projection from that guy never stops.

Lock up the women and children

He is also a climber who will jump at any chance to "move up". He gets a shot he will go.

Can you lose what you never truly had?

He's the guy that found Milt Stegall and probably a pile of those good receivers Edmonton has had over the years.

Hey Paul Jones is a good get. Unless he has totally fallen off lately.

Was Elfrid Payton not a defensive lineman? Or was this a case of he was a linebacker when he was new to the CFL? Because when I think of that guy I think of a defensive end.

Plus Hillary Clinton was the single most unlikable politician ever. Anyone but her and I suspect Donny Moscow never wins anything.

what's funny to me is how often they bring up re-election chances in 2020, like give it up already, no way America is dumb enough to give that ***** another term.

Well I can't fault the casting in it... those people are pretty solid, I just don't know that we needed another men in black movie and without Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith is it really the same? I dunno. Probably not the worst movie that will come out anyway.

They are wrong. Those people wanted Nichols to throw back across his body. You want that? I don't. Maybe you do though, good way to get intercepted.

He was just a low level son, wasn't with the family very long, he really only got the coffee. He prefers children who don't get indicted.

Hey I saw the entirety of the field, when Nichols rolled no one was open. Harris was covered cause calgary ain't dumb and the only other option was one guy downfield who calgary rightly doubled up knowing there was no one else. It's on lapo to give Nichols some options when things break down, unfortunately on lapoland it's Harris or Harris are the options.

This post is so full of **** it's not even funny. There were plenty of times Nichols scrambled to extend the plays and no one got open for him. The fact is that Lapolice loves to dink and dunk down the field and Nichols is just going with the game plan. Blame Lapo for that horseshit not the qb.

That's because Hefney was a way way better player than Jovon. Johnson got the picks but Hefney was a much better player.

which is why everyone involved in that mess was fired...

The only 2 first overalls they earned were Hall and RNH (and even RNH New Jersey actually won the lottery, just couldn't move up past 4) the other times it was just dumb luck, so I really don't get hung up on that. Not like they were dead last 4 years in a row. They didn't go full on Buffalo trying to tank for McDavid. So really, if the draft doesn't reward poor teams how are they ever supposed to get better? Why not give the best players to the best teams? That's sure to help the situation.

That he's not going to throw his team mates under the bus. And his saying he played well should clue people in that it was the game plan to throw short passes and not challenge the defense deep. Ie. what I've been saying the entire time, Lapo played not to lose.

yeah but the people who made those picks have been fired. The Oilers problem was simple, their drafting was garbage and their farm system was worse. It was really only since Chiarelli that the drafting has improved and the farm team isn't a total gong show. Yes Chiarelli has made some bad trades, but the guy has made some good moves too and the Oilers are a better team than last season or the start to this season showed. Mclellan lost it last season and never got it back.

Keep in mind that the Oilers never would have got McDavid if the NHL hadn't changed the draft lottery. Getting him was blind stupid luck, it was also luck that they got the first overall pick that netted them Yakupov.... How fortunate....
