cause you can never have too many qbs. Bring in young guys and if they are worth keeping around you do it. I mean really what's the point of keeping The Fever around long term?

Jets wasted their early PP chances leafs did not waste their chances. Really is as simple as that.

which is all I am saying, good deal but it's not a steal until he gets closer to that PPG level.

Even when we look at 2007 when Glenn was MOP candidate, he had a great summer and then fell off the face of the earth completely in the fall. I always said the same would happen for Saskatchewan this year.

I dunno 6 million a year for a guy who has one 60 point season isn't the massive steal some people make it seem. He is a winger too let's not forget. It's a good deal but it is incumbent on Ehlers to progress and make it a steal.

The same Chretien who signed Kyoto knowing full well that he had no intention of even trying to meet the targets?

Bullshit. You make it harder for the deranged people to get guns and you see a lot less of this **** happen. Yes a really determined person can still get a gun, but you weed out a lot of the crazies. Let's not put our heads in the sand here. Guns exist for only one reason, to kill things/people, you don't make it so bloody easy for whackos to get them you make it harder to whackjobs to kill and injure mass amounts of people and ruin lives. There is a reason the majority of these things happen in the States and only sporadically in other countries that have better gun control.

when I watched it on the PVR is really looked like he just took a knee to the back of the leg/ass so my guess is he got a hell of a bruise.

Ehhhh not a lot to choose. in 02 Sellers had 63 receptions, Roberts had 55, in 03 Sellers had 48 while Roberts had 51. I'd say they were both used pretty equally. Over those 2 seasons we have 111 for Sellers and 106 for Roberts so a difference of 5 catches to me says it's both not one over the other.

I don't know that I have seen Williams catch a pass where he doesn't initiate contact with a defensive back. I mean I get that he's big and it's an advantage for him but ****, if they called PI then they might as well just throw a flag every time that guy goes down field for a pass. I actually think it was his interference that took away the possibility of Walker having a chance at that ball.

That's OK, I am a fan of the green bastards losing in any way possible.

Edmonton giving up few sacks makes sense given how elusive Reilly is. What are the pressures given up by Edmonton? Cause that to me would tell a better story. I don't think their OL is all that spectacular, they just got a qb that can get away.

We said that last year too though... and lest we forget 2001....

The vision that Roberts had was something else. Just always seemed to know where the holes were. Plus the acceleration and balance. Could change directions and being going full speed so quick made him hard to get a good hit on. I will likely never forgive him for the 07 Grey Cup, but dude was a talent that doesn't come around often.

I think this is true in other sports as well. You see it in the NHL a ton as well. Teams and players with a reputation of being good get away with a lot more than teams or players with the bad reputation.

AINEC

Was more about he didn't put in a lot of effort off the field. If he put in the effort that a guy like milt did to be the best he could be his legacy would have been insane. As it was though he was a guy with a ton of God given talent and just rolled with that.

Jesus Christ people, when Lapo was here before, I think 2003 Roberts was our #3 in receptions. Harris is a great receiver out of the backfield but let's not act like Roberts wasn't. He was a much better runner than Harris and that tips the scales. Roberts routinely made guys look like assholes when they should have had him dead to rights.

I think some of you are forgetting how good Roberts was... He was a great pass catching back too and he didput in effort blocking when asked. The only major plus for Harris is his attitude. Harris is good and a Canadian, but Roberts was better.

Roberts was the better talent, I would love to see what he would do with this offensive line... but Harris is way more of a professional and that matters.

Every quarterback in the league will have an off game if he's under pressure. Every single one of them. There were quite a few passes Reilly got out just in time but missed his target cause he had to rush it or he was gonna be killed. The Bombers on D were ready to play this game. Hell the Esks tried a screen pass at one point but the Bombers DL recognized they got through too easy and turned around and tackled the back for like a 10 yard loss. Just a real impressive display from everyone involved on the D side of things.

The CFL is always cyclical. Defenses rise and offenses adjust and defenses have to change again.

Reilly was off because the Bombers were getting pressure on him. Not to mention the secondary being healthy is a lot better than we've used in the past. Both Alexander and Walker had damned good games and broke up some deep attempts. I don't really care what the yardage given up wound up being, the Bombers D played pretty damned good against Edmonton. Medlock doesn't have his worst game ever and this was likely a very lopsided game.

Thing is, even if they aren't so **** hit you'd have a hard time saying the riders aren't 3rd best right now. Edmonton and bc in free fall the east a giant steaming pile.... It's a two horse race in the CFL right now

Pretty crappy terrorist who shows up after the game has started. What did he get stuck in traffic? Seems to me it's more a case of a nut job being inspired by terrorists and notching the thing pretty bad. Don't get me wrong it's sad for the people injured but 0 deaths is good news and really shows me an ineffective "terror attack. Crazies by crazy simple as that in my opinion
