Well sure, if the goalie starts playing worse, the team will struggle more. I think that's true of every team. Make no mistake, this team is not dominant by any stretch. But they're better than last year and trending up. Whether they've "turned a corner" or not... I don't know. I'm not sure what that means or what that would look like. Teams don't just change overnight. That's why I thought all the panic after 2 games was so silly. Three week training camp and the team hasn't completely erased all their issues? Shocking! But they've gotten steadily better as the season has rolled on and that's what matters.

Yes of course they have brought in players to fill the PR, that is the absolute bare minimum though... every team does that. There is a big difference between bringing in prospects with no CFL experience and signing guys like Derel Walker, or making trades for established CFL players.

I think some of your imaginations are running away with you. It's been a 2A and 2B situation all season. Nobody from the Bombers ever took a stand on Davis being the undisputed backup. But you gotta put someone higher on the depth chart. The fact of the matter is that Davis and LeFevour were probably separated by the thinnest of margins, and the coaches weren't happy with how Davis performed when he got the chance, so they go to LeFevour to see if he can do better. There is no big conspiracy here.

I didn't realize Frank Renaud was back on the team. Those fringe Canadian special teamers sure do bounce around a lot.

The biggest disappointment for me this year hasn't been the coaching. it's been the lack of effort from the GM and scouting department. Last year we made an effort, bringing in TJ Heath and Kevin Glenn for the stretch run. Around the league you see it this year, Edmonton brings in Derel Walker and Aaron Grymes, Saskatchewan never stops bringing in players. But we chose to stand pat and that was definitely a little disappointing for me.

I think you give too much credit to "most of us."

Playoffs are a must, for sure. And I think we're on track for that.

This one is more interesting. Groping and grabbing is obviously very wrong, but she also mentions him being "openly flirtatious and talking about sex." To me, that might be a little creepy but some women might have no problem with it. And it's certainly not illegal. I think as all this comes out, we have to keep in mind that flirting is not necessarily sexual harassment. Talking about sex is not necessarily sexual harassment. EDIT: Just noticed she was 17, so yeah that's a fair thing for her to complain about. But when it's all adults, I believe my point still stands.

I'd argue that Bond's impact on the running game was much smaller than his impact on the passing game. But sure, there is a drop-off there. I still think they can be successful.

Not at all. Well, I suppose indirectly. It's not a small group of people who want Maurice gone. And unfortunately nothing short of a Stanley Cup will change their minds. Maybe even that wouldn't, for some.

Yeah I'm a little baffled by it as well, to be honest.

Some people just want Maurice gone and no amount of wins will change their mind. So now we have to deal with "Yeah we won but can you believe our second line was so bad.... Maurice has gotta go."

This is almost as clueless as the Greg Carr suggestion.

Why is it always about loyalty? Why would MOS have more loyalty to LeFevour in his first year here than Davis in his third? That makes no sense. This is about who they think will play better and obviously the answer they came up with is LeFevour. I can see why most would disagree but have no idea where this misplaced notion of MOS doing it out of loyalty comes from.

Wait is anyone surprised that Andy **** is part of all this? I thought he was a well-known creep.

Interesting thought but my first reaction would be that it is too difficult to consistently and clearly signal when you're running around with the ball, rather than the fair catch which is a guy with no one around, waiting to catch a ball.

League winner predictions: MOP - Reilly MODP - Elimimian MOC - Singleton MOL - Bryant MOSTP - Ty Long MOR - Wilder Jr.

Only been 2 games since Mason started. I can't see them going back to him already.

It's pretty incredible seeing this all come out. Hopefully this causes some of these Hollywood scumbags to think twice. This is what happens when you have men who have an incredible amount of power in their industry, to the point where they believe they are untouchable.

I'm expecting a big, big game from Flanders. He'll be hungry.

Maybe not. Hard to get a good read of MOS. We'll only truly know once the season ends and we see who the coaches are next year.

No doubt. Not sure what the issue is there. Seems to be a lack of chemistry, I suppose. Or maybe playing with Wheeler/Scheifele made Ehlers and Laine look a little better than they really are (everyone looks good with those two). Probably a combination of both. Anyways it's only a matter of time... that's 3 very good players. Little is historically streaky so once he heats up and the line develops some chemistry we might be looking at a super-deadly top six.

I'm just shocked that there were people on Twitter who were offended. That never happens.

LeFevour, Harris, and Flanders run for over 200 yards combined.

Big central division implications for this one. I'd expect a bit of a close, higher-scoring game but nothing outrageous. Gonna call 4-3 Jets in the shootout. Goals from Laine, Matthias, and Scheifele.
