I was out at a charity golf tournament today, so I had the PVR set and managed to stay in blackout mode, so I played catch-up on the PVR, avoiding texts/BBMs/FB msgs from 17to85, Coorsman and a few others........man that's some kinda game. Leggett and the D were outstanding for the most part (I still don't understand why Tasker is allowed to sit on the 1st down marker with nobody around for miles on 2nd and long) and full marks for that win. Macho's kick recovery is incredible and I'm going to give credit to MOS as much as the players. Great call. I really think the offense is going to take a lot of time to figure out what Lapo is doing, so this was a little bit of progress (as noted earlier this week, all I really wanted to see). Jace Davis is going to be a beauty in this league for a long time, if he stays healthy. And cap tip to TBurg for a nice post in this thread...maybe my favourite post of his ever.

Sask has played ONE game and didn't look awful in it. Likely better than us in either week. Not sure how anyone can say they're destined for the bottom based on last week...

Jesus...I went cross-eyed midway through the first page...

But that's totally fair because the post is relevant always...

All I want is to see a little bit of progress. The past two weeks have seen regression from this team....want to see something positive going forward...

except that it's not Willy v Masoli. It's Willy vs Ham D and Masoli vs Wpg D.....

Billeck said Fogg was directly replacing Johnson, but he was waiting for 1v1's to know more...

Scott Billeck ‏@ScottBilleck 1m1 minute ago Bruce Johnson's right hand appears to be taped up today. He's not practising and didn't yesterday either. #Bombers

Ed Tait piece from Monday practice says Dressler returns this week, but still no Johnny Adams. Also, Trent Corney and Bruce Johnson questionable for this week, while Randle sat out yesterday but should be good to go Thursday (took a vet day)...... Curious what happens if Johnson comes out (maybe a good thing, depending on back-up...)

Is this still the "Around The League Regular Season New" discussion thread, or is it another complaining about Friday thread? I can change the title.......?

Dressler returns Friday, says MOS...

I'll go with Messam.....

this does reek of that, in a big way....

Riders signed St. John finally.......booooooo. Was hoping to see them get ****** a little harder on that situation.

I think he's getting a little old for some of those stupid skits/videos they do, but he's at least a sports guy. He's played some high level (CIS) sports and knows hockey. Way better fit than Strombo.

Exactly....for my money, Weber's beard is a better player than Subban......but in 5 years, Montreal might think differently about this. Whatever, though, I can't stand PK Subban...

also, they're obviously signing Lucic on Friday, but even with that, it's a massive downgrade at LW. Humongous downgrade...

I feel like I might spend the entire afternoon crying. An absolutely embarrassing abortion of a trade by Chia, who has now dealt both Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin and got completely schooled on both deals. Hall is their best player right now (McJesus will be soon, but at this exact moment, Hall is their best player) and to only get a B-List (at best) D like Adam Larsson is embarrassing. To not even get picks or anything thrown in....just....how?

I seriously wouldn't put it past Jones to issue this as a way of "keeping his cards close to his chest" and then having a completely different line up on game day...

I heard people bitching about him LOUDLY when they were losing early, saying he wasn't using Cornish enough....and when that fumble happened and the momentum completely changed, heard people cheering loudly about how DD is the smartest OC in the league..... This is Calgary sports fans.....

This....in a nutshell.....what keeps me from posting more.

their depth chart is fantastic. The kid they drafted at WR this year is starting at S and a kid that was WR/TE for BC is ahead of Lemon at DE......

Calgary is such a ****** sports town. If you're not winning all the time, they have no use for you and will stay away in droves. Doesn't matter Stamps, Flames whatever......unless the team is winning, they're not interested. They'd just as soon go watch a UFC match at Boston Pizza as go to a live local sporting event...

what kind of message are you sending to players if you bench them for no fault of their own?
