Mr. Perfect

Knew it before this, he had already shown it previously. The kid is a gamer and I'm beyond thrilled for us and our long term prospects that he's on the team.

So give Toronto the East at this point? Drew Edwards @scratchingpost · 3h #Ticats coach Kent Austin on QB @ZCollaros7: "Right now, it doesn't look good but we'll see." #CFL

Throw Aaron Kelly in there as well just for spare parts since we could do so much better than him and doesn't really fit into this offence.

Penton had a blunder too. Referred to the Bombers as 2-0 in one paragraph then 1-1 in the very next one.

The call that annoyed me the most was the PI on Johnny Sears. Granted, looking at the replay of the call last night it was the right call as Sears was there early but that being said official #50 who was literally 5 yards away and had the best vantage point did not make the call. The official way deep in the secondary made the call 20 yards back but given his position at Sears' and the receiver's back there is no way he could tell where the ball was at the time of contact.

It would have been a loss of down had it been first or second down. However since it was third down you can't force a turnover on the penalty so it was a 10 yard penalty instead of the usual 5 for time count violation.

...Guess I'll put away the double revolvers....

Maybe I misread but I thought I saw something like 80 of his 120 yards last week were after contact. Derek Taylor @DerekOnGlobal · 17h #Bombers facts 2: Nic Grigsby rushed for 122 yards. A whopping 87 came after contact. That's just under 1/2 what Will Ford had all of 2013

Maybe I misread but I thought I saw something like 80 of his 120 yards last week were after contact.

Cory Boyd led the league in rushing when he was cut because he couldn't protect Ray. You can't let his stats justify getting your QB killed. He either needs to learn how to block and quick, or next man up.

Korey Banks ‏@24Banks 51s Don't blame me I did all I can and more. "DOGS MUST HUNT" or be put down.

Pick up his things?

Yeah....I have no idea what Modern Family is....but I do appreciate the knockers in this thread! Go Bombers!

How many two and outs did we have last week? Were any back to back?

Time to kick some ass

Well said. As fun and exciting as last week was, there will undoubtedly be some rough patches throughout the season and people need to keep that in perspective just like the happy times. Various people and/or aspects of the team will struggle at different points throughout the season. Willy is not immune to that. Hopefully people will be able to look at the big picture when that time comes.

Never really understand why people get so up in arms about power rankings? Does it matter? Does it help the team at all? They are a pointless thing that is made in the opinion of the author that means nothing whatsoever.

There's a lot of room for members in the Drew Willy fan club. I'll just reserve my role as founder/president.

Hit Burris early and often. Don't let his receivers breathe. The picks will come as he gets more desperate and tries to force things. Leggett will be tested as Burris won't be afraid to try to stretch the field.

Higgins is in a no win situation right now. It's definitely hard to see Popp staying after this year. He's completely botched the life after Trestman era in Montreal.

Considering Wettenhall made the hire, it's hard to believe Popp would have the authority to sack Higgins any time soon.

Of course it's early. BC will still likely finish third place in the division (hard to see them higher than that assuming Calgary and Saskatchewan stay relatively healthy). That being said it's been pretty apparent BC has been on a slow but steady decline since winning the Grey Cup in 2011 and it appears so far that will continue. Trading the fifth overall pick for Kevin Glenn on paper isn't a particularly good trade either but I understand why it had to be done or else the Lions would obviously be a joke this year. Wally hasn't done much in the last few years in terms of getting out of this slide.

One thing, with his height Collaros is not a pocket passer. Like you say, he needs to move around to be successful like Doug Flutie. Let his athletic ability take over & make plays. That's what he did in Toronto last year. And did you notice Austin ragging on the guy? There are times when a head coach should back off. Today was one of those days. How yelling at Collaros will give him confidence is beyond me. I just remember Austin always unhappy with Hank & he put up big number for him but Austin was never satisfied. If I was a coach, I'd be yelling at my OL for playing like a bunch of overpaid pylons the entire game. And that is why it is so important for coaches to be positive. It's also why O'Shea answers questions the way he does about player or team performance - sometimes it may sound a little redundant as to how positive he is, but there is a reason for it (even though those who don't understand football don't get it). Ragging on the guy (or a team) either in the game or media really doesn't accomplish a whole lot. Look at the way Berry handled his kickers and the performances they had. You're going to tell me it's a coincidence Serna has a career year when Kelly and Harris gave him as much support as you can possibly give a kicker? Coaches need to be very careful with how they handle struggling players. Austin piling on Collaros will do a lot more harm than good.

No he wouldn't have. Compare how long Collaros hangs on to the ball versus Willy. It's night and day. Yes Willy would have struggled, but his ability to get rid of the ball as quick as he does would have masked the issues Hamilton has up front to a degree.
