Don't ******* jinx it guys

Lapo tends to try and over think things a lot, one of the reasons I was never happy bringing him back.

Here's a positive, we've already won more games this year than we have most years in recent memory and we have a huge chance to make the playoffs cause there are plenty of winnable games left on the schedule.

if it's a penalty at the start of a game it should still be a penalty at the end of the game too. I hate this idea that it's OK to cheat when it's late in a game but not early, it sort of invalidates the early part of the game.

You could see a few times yesterday where Dressler and Nichols were just not on the same page. They get that worked out the offense automatically improves because Dressler might be a midget but he's a good receiver.

This **** show and poor record looks real good on Jones. Couldn't happen to a more deserving *******

You want a medal for beating me in golf? Anyone can do that, I suck at golf and freely admit it.

They were calling super soft PI all game long why be surprised they did it on the final drive too?

Like any game the qb made some good ones, some poor ones, had receivers blow some on him. Lapo is going full 2011 though. D is dominating the turnover battle so he is full on just don't **** up mode. 0 risks and boring as shut offense that struggles without the D getting them primo field position

Wooooooooooooooo!

I am hoping that Weston Dressler is still pissed at Jones for tossing him aside and makes it his goal in life to make then regret it.

Yeah steep rock is nice. Lotta fun memories up there

Ooooo Moosehorn that's a shame as well... Full disclosure I'm from Ashern so I can't really talk either

My sincerest apologies....

Messam

Source please. You will have a hard time convincing me manitoba has more farming than Alberta. I question some of your other examples as well. Manitoba is a pissant economy. Government is the only real industry in that province

Free market system with huge social safety net due to high taxes. Sounds socialist to me. Hell isn't the Norwegian oil company state owned?

Economic diversity, which was the topic of conversation.....

But it's not their oil fund paying for all those thinga. It's being a socialist country.

And a giant tax rate too. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Another 2 cents is that the changes on the ol allowed the run game to be more of a threat and take pressure off the qbs and that coupled with the wake up call got the O in gear. The D was improving before they sat Willy because Hall has shown in his time here that he is willing to tweak things a bit when they aren't working. Said it before, there is more than one factor at work here

Alberta is actually fairly diverse, much moreso than a place like Manitoba. The problem is oil was huge. Like humongous big. It dominated and paid more money than most other industries could match. The Alberta economy before this crash was really overheated. An out of control boom. **** the royalty rate that's a poor argument. We paid low taxes and used oil to fund government instead of taxing people up the ass like norway does.

Let's look at the flip side... 2 losses to calgary who beat everyone, one loss to edmonton with the same record and on in the first week vs montreal.... Seems like maybe the record is what it should be.

It's a turnover league. Win the turn over battle win the game except for rare occasions. Not a qb league. That's the ignorant kind of thinking I'm talking about

What people want is for folks to stop attributing everything to the qb. Hell Willy won against the ticats when the D forced a pile of turnovers too but the haters kept hating on him. You can talk about the play of a quarterback good or bad in wins or losses without the absolute statements some people want to make. Qb is important but it's still just one position
