  1. Even under video review pass interference is still highly subjective and inconsistent. I just wish that they would clarify exactly what PI is and call it the same within each game. Nothing worse than a cheap PI call going one way and the same thing being let go later in the game.
  2. if there's no symptoms though then he's probably fine. That's the thing about concussions is they're all over the map. Little bump on the head might put a guy out for months but a big shot might not have that much of an effect. I trust the doctors to make the correct call here because it's such a hot button issue these days.
  3. The team is 1-1 tied for first place in the west I do believe. So they got their asses handed to them against Hamilton, so what, a loss is still just a loss. Fix the problems for next week and boom problem solved. When you get your ass handed to you like that you are more likely to make the changes required than if you lost a close game.
  4. No one hates Marve, they only hate the constant Marve fanbois. The one people hate is without a doubt Brohm. He gets **** on from all comers because he's not Marve.
  5. There is nothing wrong with continuing to develop Marve slowly. The way some people want to handle the qb situation is akin to Mike Kelly. Throw guys in and hope for a miracle. That just leaves a trail of broken qbs behind you while Michael Bishop is starting for you.
  6. I just see some good assets in Marve I'd hate to rush the guy into a poor situation and ruin him like we've done with so many quarterbacks in the past. Really the way the D was playing yesterday there was no chance to win that game.
  7. Defensive line without a second thought. It's the same as on offence, it all starts in the trenches and if you lose that battle you've lost the war.
  8. I think you are confusing fanbois with fans who just want to see a QB in for us who is going to have the best chance of winning. With Willy's noggin getting a'floggin' (Ned Flanders h/t) a lot of us don't see Brohm as that guy. No there are definitely fanbois out there. You put a gun to my head I prefer Marve over Brohm too, but I get where the coaches are coming from here. Brohm is more of a pro at this point compared to the very raw Marve. Some people though, they act like Brohm is a moustache twirling villian and Marve is the hero who will fix everything wrong with the team. It's just so over the top.
  9. Intent doesn't matter for the flag on that play. He hit Willy right in the ear hole should be an automatic flag. I mean it's a flag if a guys hand accidentally brushes a qbs helmet. There's not grey area here, either the guy is hit in the head and it's a flag or he wasn't hit in the head and there's no penalty. Fines and suspensions sure you can argue about that, but there 100% should have been a flag on that play because you can not strike the qb in the head under any circumstances.
  10. I've been waiting for him to poop his pants and he hasn't done it yet. Meanwhile, I watched Brohm play the whole second half weighed down by pants full of poop. I'm not sure how wishing one of our most promising QB prospects in years poops his pants helps the team, or anyone for that matter, but what happens if Marve goes in and lights it up? Five years from now are you guys still going to be waiting to do the Nelson "Ha ha" when Marve eventually does have a bad outing? Hey I like Marve a lot just because he's an exciting player that seems to be able to make it work no matter how ugly it is and I want him to turn into a star... but the fan club has gotten to the point where it's annoying. I am convinced that Brohm could throw 80% completions and a few tds and people would still be screaming for Marve. Just so over the top I kinda want to see how the fanbois react to a tough outing by their shining star.
  11. I kinda want to see Marve go in and poop his pants just to watch the anthill get kicked but good. What is everyone going to do if it happens? Admit they were wrong? Make a million excuses? be an interesting thing to see for sure.
  12. Then put em in the game! The guys we're lining up now aren't doing the job time to make changes.
  13. The fact that there was no flag on the play was disgusting, the fact that TSN went out of their way to never mention that it was a head shot is disgusting as well. Not one person on the broadcast brought up the missed flag there.
  14. And if the Bombers hadn't turned the ball over to them so many times for instant points it might have been 600.Just pitiful that we came into camp saying we needed a better DL and the one we got looks worse. Oh how I miss the guys like Alex Hall or Phil Hunt. Walters appears to have failed miserably at recruiting for the teams biggest needs this offseason. That's bs.. The o line was the biggest need and he did that. Turner and westerman both were seen as great players. Randle was loved last season by even you. I don't pin this on Walters .. I blame the coach big time. We did better last year with Kuale!!! This purely is on the system and who he has playing where. He signed free agents for the OL. Westerman was seen as a great player cause he was a canadian from the NFL, turns out he's nothing special so far. Turner might still be great but the duo at DT is not getting the job done. One of them needs to be upgraded. Peach is better as a depth guy than the top DE, we need a better DE. that's 2 positions that need big upgrades on the DL before we can even think about having a good defence. Football is a pretty simple game and if you can't do basic things like pressure a qb you're gonna have a bad time and based on 2 games, our DL is pitiful
  15. if they'd actually stuck to the ignoring canon thing with Star Trek it could have been the best thing to happen to the franchise because it's so bogged down with ridiculous canon it's unworkable. Instead they decided that Into Darkness should be a crappy Wrath of Kahn/Undiscovered Country mashup with nods to every piece of canon out there.
  16. I suspect that he is being miscast. He`s always been on the smaller side for a DT and would likely benefit from playing next to a Doug Brown type who can just move people out of the way.
  17. More concerned about the DL than LBs right now, but I will say I like Randle a lot better at corner than LB.
  18. Think he let them get a little too confident in themselves That`s how it came across in the post game show to me too. Think he allowed guys heads to get a bit too big and was too pleased with how practise went.
  19. Too much worrying about the qbs after this game in my opinion. The Bombers scored a touchdown on their first possession by doing what they did in Saskatchewan and having a good mix of running and passing plays.... but then Bellefool did what he does and when the D folded like a cheap suit he got Drew Willy killed by forgetting he has a couple good rbs on the roster and exposing Willy to a constant and effective blitz. So then the backup goes in and logic says help the guy out with a strong run game.... but nope he puts him in the pocket and exposes him to the same blitzes. He's lucky he didn't get Brohm killed either. I said it all offseason, Bellefool is a problem at OC and he needs to go. As for the D, in my mind the defensive line is the biggest problem. Hall has always had a soft D, he doesn`t have a DL that can pressure this is what you get. Peach is his usual uniform filling self, Westerman looks more like Busterman and Turner and Anderson aren`t doing much of anything in the middle. Need a real threat at DE and a big time DT in there ASAP to turn this around cause the DL is getting abused consistently through 2 games.
  20. And if the Bombers hadn't turned the ball over to them so many times for instant points it might have been 600. Just pitiful that we came into camp saying we needed a better DL and the one we got looks worse. Oh how I miss the guys like Alex Hall or Phil Hunt.

  21. Those scoreboards don't pay for themselves. The unfortunate reality is that in this day and age you're going to have advertising out the wazoo in any new stadium.
  22. Recall if you will a game when Glenn was here and Edmonton just started rushing only 2 players and dropping everyone else back because they gave up even trying to get to Glenn. With Glenn though you need to hit him cause he is a giant puss when he gets hit and he goes away after a couple good licks on him.
  23. You went all the way back just to resurrect this thread for that post? Seriously?
  24. But what if you just get into diverging timelines when you go back in time and there's an infinite amount of timelines out ther... I've gone cross eyed...
  25. yep gonna go with Andrew Harris as well I think.
