Maybe it was Hervey who made the decision? I can't see that being Maas's decision alone.

As a Conservative supoorter I can say this...The next time anyone wants to hate Trudeau, just think of Trump. Junior may be a lot of things & most of them I don't like as I disagree with his politics but he's nowhere near the monster Trump is.

Milanovich anoints Willy his starter like MOS did here. That's 2 head coaches that put their trust in a guy who has never proven that he is a starting qb. Lots of guys have wished they could have coaches like that & never did. He's been extremely fortunate that way while others haven't.

As far as the line being better for Nichols than for Willy, it's true but too bad. Professional sports is a tough business. No one said that it would be fair & that everyone around them would be good players. Willy still has been well paid for what little body of work he has done as a starter. It's up to him to show he can actually play & make a difference even on the worst team & he hasn't shown anything.

Trump just went off the deep end today lashing out with tweets against those who unendorsed or criticized him over the video released 4 days ago. He will take every republican down ballot from him with him. Giuliani & Christie are finished politically after this election. If you see his base they are crazed individuals. CNN showed a video today where a woman said to Mike Pence that if Clinton wins then Americans should take up their guns & start a revolution. You can hear him say, "No... No!"  That dirtbag Trump is going to get people killed with his rhetoric.

Now we're fighting about stuff like this? We're all better than that, c'mon.

The granddaddy of all Bomber trick plays was the Bomberooskie and few of us are old enough to remember it.

Guard Larry Slagle picked the ball up & ran with it for a huge gain. Guards in those days were 245 lbs on average so some of them could motor. I think center Bob Swift just shuffled it on the ground to his left to Slagle as he was the designated ball carrier therefore it was considered a fumble which is why an OL could run with it. I was at that game in 72. I think it was called vs Calgary. I even think Bomber Head Coach Jim Spavital called it the Slaglerooskie.

Meh, this is means nothing.  He's only prez for a couple more weeks, he can say whatever he wants.

 

Plus, I'm not a huge pusher for us walking on Mars.  If we do, big whoop.  How does that solve any of the problems we're facing down here on Earth?  Mars is a dead planet.

"Ah, the Earth is flat!!! He'll just fall off the edge of the Earth. What a waste of money exploration is. Nothing exists past the horizon. I always thought Chris was a nutbar claiming the Earth is round." So said Enrique Valdez, the neighbourhood know it all who lived 2 doors down from Christopher Columbus. Good thing no one listened to him.

Sure would be nice to have both of them in the lineup.  Burnett has played pretty well for Wild, but not having Leggett, would be a big hole.

Anyone see that tackle he made on Saturday? 

We all did as he saved the game. I hope he isn't out long term.

Hillary has hate in her heart.  Ha that made me laugh.

The only part that I really enjoyed was when Trump pointed out the evil chicanery Hillary and the DNC pulled to stab Sanders in the back.  That was awesome.  How Hillary just got away with that is beyond comprehension.  Basically a coup d'etat.  

You know that the RNC will change their constitution to legally allow them to replace a candidate for bad behaviour or if he's unwinnable. Or to prevent a candidate like Trump to become the party's Presidential nomination

what the hell was that play where he accidentally lateraled it to Whitaker?  That play would have made Jason Boltus proud.

It was a pass but similar to a lateral. The ball was live. Willy panicked. Good thing a surprised Whitaker fell on it.

yeah cause he's getting hammered like he was here. How come people are so willing to put it all on the qb when the team around him clearly has a ton of issues?

We'd never have got there with Willy starting. The Willy backers here can argue otherwise but no way. Nichols doesn't put up stunning numbers like Reilly or BLM but he's steady, efficient, understands LaPo's offense, makes quicker reads & has a quick release thereby avoiding being sacked. Willy holds onto the ball too long trying to make decisions where to throw & panics when the pocket collapses. We saw that all game long today.

The last drive Willy never even tried a deep pass. Not one. Even the last pass was more of a check down. The entire game he never went vertical downfield. Ugh... Most qbs would have thrown that last pass deep... Game was over sure but at least look like you're trying to score instead of playing safe. Glad he's gone.

Willy being Willy dump pass on 3rd down... Turnover on downs. Great for us. The more the Argos lose the better chance for the first or second pick in the draft. Hope they lose every game.

Argos ST has handed Willy great field position on a blocked punt. Let's see what he does with it.

Ray made that OL look bad too, so did Killgore, maybe, just maybe the argos OL sucks too? I mean they got no push on 3rd and short all game. I know it's popular around here to keep shitting on Willy but the guy is getting no time at all. 

He's playing like he did here. Same style. Same throws.

Well he's with Ken Hitchcock now. if he has the talent he'll produce on a better team surrounded by better players.

Drew Willy is not playing well at all. He looks terrible out there, almost like he's trying  to play himself out of the league.

He gives Argo fans no hope. Just like when he was here. There was no hope.

argos looks like the bomber O line last year

Willy feels at home.

Speaking of dumb, so are the sideline halftime interviews. other than Hank Burris & Bear Woods they've been duds for all the years TSN has been doing them.  It's all coach or player speak.

Being mic'd up is dumb. Maybe now the CFL will listen to teams & never do it again. Having said that, they should have done it still.

Wow! That is trivia erudition. I remember Bobby Kraemer with the Blue - Don Jonas was the regular QB I think. I was a kid playing football for Clifton Cougars back then. You could actually stand on the sidelines at Winnipeg Stadium during the CFL games, right on the sideline just down from the players bench around the 15-20 yard line or so and watch from there. If you behaved yourself no one would boot you out. Did that with a couple of buddies most games.

Did you ever sit in the Salisbury End Zone? Tickets were 50 cents each for sale at every Sal's restaurant. So one day in August, 1969 my friend & I biked down to a Sal's on Pembina Hwy & bought 2 tickets. Bombers vs Riders won 16-14 by the Bombers. The first CFL game I ever attended & I was hooked. That same season I saw Ed Ulmer punt the ball 91 yards from that south end zone vs the Lions. He had the wind at his back when he launched that rocket.

Ok for the historians out there, When was the last time a Canadian threw a Touchdown pass for the Bombers?

 

I'd say 1971. Wingback (now called slot) Bob Kraemer threw 2 that year, I believe. He was the Bisons qb when they won back to back Vanier Cups in 1969 & 70.

Last time I checked, a fumble recovery doesn't result in points unless it happens in the end zone, so even if this ruling was overturned, BC would've still needed to score and there's no guarantee of that happening. Everyone is acting like that call cost them the game. What cost them the game was not being able to convert on third and one because Khari got lazy and tried to call the same play that got them a 50 yard TD earlier. Went back to the well one too many times and Mo was ready for it. 

Everybody ASSUMES the Lions would have scored.

OL can go out of a 2 pt or 3 pt stance.
