  1. One wonders how Trestman would look without a HOF qb though... Cause he got some well established veteran qbs both stops.
  2. so you're saying he'd be a perfect fit in a Paul Lapolice offense?
  3. Spite is the only real reason to do anything.
  4. Trestman put in a system that didn't let Ray get his ass kicked game in and game out. Same as he did for Calvillo.
  5. I always said people were fools to sleep on Ricky Ray. That guy has done nothing but win ever since he got into the league. Yeah if you let him take a pounding he's going to have issues like every qb will, but we all knew trestman wasn't going to let that happen. He's a smart coach, he knows what's up. Quarterbacking matters in the CFL and you'd be hard pressed to find a better passer than Ray in this league.
  6. I am pretty god damned sick and tired of the Argos winning every cup they get into and the Bombers losing every cup they get into. Time to spread that luck around a little bit. ******* centre of the universe... Always trying to screw western Canada.
  7. Rocket surgery has been around for a long long time, but some people just don't understand humour.
  8. Can't blame a guy for drinking when you have to pump the tires of that team all the time.
  9. Just gimmie an entertaining game. Make it worth my while to watch.
  10. It's the combination of kicking the field goal and then following it up by kicking it deep. To me you gotta go for the onside kick there.
  11. I am willing to be rocket surgery is exactly what was intended.
  12. What dream is that? They did move Bass from the outside to the middle last year, they were hoping someone stepped up and took the job this year, no one did so it was Hurl who got it, also helped along by the plans to go NI at DT being scrapped due to Poop being too good to not play. I don't think there is any desire to have a Canadian MLB here, just a case of the Americans not stepping up and taking the position. That's on Kyle Walters for failing to recruit anyone good enough.
  13. Get out. You are no longer welcome here. **** the Riders. I like Glenn well enough, but **** the Riders and their ass hat fans. 70-0 is too good for those pricks.
  14. Yeah but being punched in the face is better than being kicked in the nuts... I haven't seen wonder woman yet but it strikes me that most of the praise for that movie stems from the fact that it wasn't a steaming pile like the two aforementioned movies. Damning with faint praise if you ask me. I think people really want to like these movies because they feature popular characters. I dunno I'll watch eventually and judge for myself but I really have no high hopes. I thought before watching Suicide Squad well it's no way it can be as bad as people say, in fact some people are defending it... nope worse than cancer, so I don't trust these people to put out anything half assed decent.
  15. Or maybe the coaches feel the need to have all the rotations because they don't feel they have the players required. As with most things it'll be a little from column A and a little from column B. Guys like Randle and Heath and Leggett never come off the field, why? because they're too good, if they had guys who were too good to take off there would be a lot less rotations.
  16. No giving a guy limited reps before he's not ready is pretty much the definition of bringing him along slowly. Trial by fire is saying "alright kid, here's your spot go play it"
  17. of course they can. any team can string together 3 wins in the playoffs at any time. Yeah I said we'll never win with Lapo, that's hyperbole, but it'll be an uphill battle to win with him, will take the D and STs dragging his ass along.
  18. Yeah how about something credible? Like show me something from one of the winnipeg guys, even someone like Paul Friesen who has any kind of insight from the management of the team. Just because people speculated that MOS might be on the hot seat does not in any way shape or form imply that he was a game or two away from being fired. Simple facts are when a coach is losing the chair he is in gets warm, but that is a far cry from a couple games from being canned.
  19. There has been a ton of talk all season long about Bond possibly trying the NFL and Kyle Walters didn't draft all those offensive lineman rather than other positions to keep playing 3 americans in that position. The fact that with Bond out the performance of the line didn't dip just makes it that much more likely to happen.
  20. Our team is run by good human beings and not a bunch of self serving assholes, if Lapo wants to interview for a head coach position they'll let him, the question comes down to whether or not Lapolice wants to. He likes being in Winnipeg and he he's gonna be a spot picker when he tried the HC thing again.
  21. Except they really haven't got a lot of cups to show for all the seasons of being first in the league... They got 2014, they got 2008 after they cleaned out their own gong show. So really judging by the team everyone loves to hold up as the best thing going we have 10 years to get 2 cups with multiple seasons of playoffs. Plenty of times Calgary was one and done in the playoffs as well. Can think of a bunch of west final games they pissed away at home. Did that make them not a contender? Simple fact is that all season long Winnipeg was one of the best teams in the league, that makes them a contender, that they lost a single elimination game doesn't change that. I think everyone agreed that all of Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary were contenders for the cup. Had Winnipeg won last weekend would people sit here and say Edmonton was never a contender? I somehow doubt that.
  22. yeah no kidding, pretty much the opposite of trial by fire.
  23. If those two are better than Neufeld you can easily trade the guy or just cut him if there's no takers (spoiler alert, someone will always take a NI OL). having depth is never a bad thing.
  24. No one except you. You believe the sky is falling, that is completely false. I mean really Edmonton beat the Bombers once this year, it just happened to be in the only game that mattered, but the thing about football is that it's a harsh mistress, lose one game in the playoffs your done no matter what else you did last season. Let me ask you this, is Calgary not a contender cause they've lost a bunch of playoff games when they had such good records in the regular season?
