Matthews would be a luxury. We don't need him. With Moore being off and on hurt and Kelly pulling a disappearing act I don't think luxury is the word you meant.

was the attitude that the coaches were ridiculous and no one wanted to play for them? Cause that's not a bad attitude, that's just an astute observation.

Sadly it's still not as bad as the winless streak in Calgary which stretches all the way back to 2002. wow. did not realize that either. I did. Largely because I've lived in Calgary since 2003, and have gone to every regular season game we've played here, and have yet to see us win. Really hope we break both trends this year.... Willy seems like the guy to do it. Since 2005 here and not only do they never win, they rarely ever play well. Usually it's a dirty beating.

That's how you know your football team is some kind of bad, when players turn down that kind of money and prefer to go to Regina.Dressler turned down a higher offer from the Stamps as well. So what's your theory now?Chemistry with Durant, familiar surroundings, good relationship with management, playing with a contender. It's that simple. I will go with a lot of under the table money from local businesses as the maim reason. probably lower cost of living, I very much doubt the stamps were offering as much more as the redblacks were rumoured to be offering.

That's about as bold a prediction as the latest reebok jerseys. Avoiding mistakes has been paramount in the CFL for quite some time now.

The best way to keep your qb clean is to make plays all over the field. Make the defense adjust to what you're doing.

What??? Meant to say "there". Typo on my part. Flames own the Stamps & President Brian Burke's son was gay. Burke is now a huge proponent of welcoming gay players into both hockey dressing rooms & football locker rooms. Cornish mother's a lesbian. He was very vocal in his support of Michael Sam coming out just before the NFL Draft. Of all CFL teams THEY (Stamps) would probably be the most welcoming. Hopefully my post makes sense now. It seems kind of sad to me that this discussion is even happening in this day and age

By hook or by crook just find a way to pick up a win here. These games are very very important if you want to make the playoffs.

So bold and exciting, the kids will be lining up to get into the stadium to watch the team that wears these electric jerseys.

AH! you missed LaPo's coaches' Corner. It's amazing how much that guy learnt since being here. Didn't help them win the game though

Unless Kuale is sending opposing players to the IR he's useless plain and simple.

we were 3-1 with Sears in the lineup and 1-0 with Kromah in the line up... do you have a point you would like to make?

I took Allen early in my fantaseh draft thinking that no matter who the riders used as RB was going to get yards, then Chamblin gave me the finger and benched him for a couple fumbles never to be seen again.

how do you consistently double team a DE that comes from all different areas? would rather see them design some plays to slow down the rush. The OL being able to get a good consistent push for the run game would help that.

Sometimes coaches make mistakes, sometimes they lose sight of the big picture. They won't take a player out because he's not making mistakes when the reality is that they might have a better option despite the other guy not making mistakes. For my money Sears is one of the best defensive player on this team, he just has the bad luck of being hurt a lot, but if he's healthy he can be better than a number of players that they aren't taking off the roster because "they're not playing badly" I like O'Shea overall as a head coach of this team, but he needs to be more proactive making roster changes.

Neg lists are only for players who have never signed a CFL contract before.

Sears is just a play maker. If he's healthy he's the kind of player you make room for. Not liking this attitude from the coaches that they can't take guys off the roster. You can take guys off the roster even if they're playing well because guys like Sears have the ability to be the best guys on the team.

So you got Bombers missing the playoffs then?

With as crap as Burris is playing it really looks good on him spending all that money and strutting around like some kind of brilliant GM when he signed him. Seems pretty obvious to me that Ottawa is going to be the last place team in the CFL this year. Good thing they're developing a qb that can lead them long term.

that 6-2 record is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

I think the offense works better when there's two guys rather than just having to rely on one. I don't think either is good enough to be the whole ******* show like Stegall could do, but when you give Willy multple options it makes everything better.

Calling Vega a healthy scratch... man oh man has Penton not been paying attention? Vega hasn't been healthy for a long time. What he should say is "Fraser played well enough we don't need to trot out a one legged Vega"

I just do not understand, with so many corporate head quarters in Toronto how can they not find an owner who actually gives a **** about that franchise?
