God help us if 3 rookies make the starting lineup out of camp. This could be a rough year.

This is just such a dumb way to look at it. You don't just start cutting players out of spite. Injuries or not he's our best receiver and cutting him makes the team worse. The scouting staff has been incapable of bringing in a good receiver so far and who knows what's available in free agency. Can't cut Moore until we have a star receiver to replace him.

Yeah it gets taxed harder here!

I think he played all 18 games for BC in 2013 so he might just be on a run of bad luck the last season and a half.... I'm certainly not ready to write him off as injury prone this quickly. He could still play 14-15 games this season which is reasonable.

Just to be clear, we don't actually lose a draft pick in any case. It is a swap of draft picks. So say the Bombers have a higher pick in the 4th round than the Ticats in 2017, the Ticats can choose to swap picks with the Bombers. The round will be determined by the condition.

Sorry to disappoint you but if the Bombers beat the aforementioned teams and everything else remains equal, then the Blue will be in the playoffs.lol! First they have to beat those two bottom dwellers but that won't be enough. That is just two games. To make the playoffs they have to beat >.500 teams and so far each one they have played they have been crushed. Montreal and BC have shown they can beat >.500 teams so right now I have to give them the edge. Sorry.No need to be sorry. There is nothing in what I said that isn't true. Should I explain it to you? I'd like to hear it. Beating BC and Montreal only will put us at 6-12 and that's not going to do it. Unless this is some wordplay thing. Then forget it.

Pretty much sounds like every other country song ever.

Would someone just tell gbill his thread is fantastic so we can move on?

I'm not sure if that article is even worth worrying about, for a couple reasons. 1. Just because the NDP's supporters want something doesn't mean the NDP is going to do it. If I'm not mistaken, none of the signatories were actual NDP party members. Could be wrong, I didn't read that closely. 2. The type of sweeping changes discussed in the article would be difficult to accomplish with a majority government, but with a minority? Forget it... will never happen. And it will be a cold day in Hell before the NDP win a federal majority.

I think the Jets understand as well as anyone that Ehlers has accomplished everything he possibly could in junior. If he doesn't make the Jets, bet on him playing in Europe.

Only a playoff appearance should save MB's job and if that happens I'll be pretty thrilled. If he's able to right the ship and start getting positive results, why shouldn't he keep his job? Fan grudges?

The "Ehlers has to go to junior or the Jets" thing is overblown. He can also go play in Europe which would be fine... Not so different from the AHL really.

I think the combination of breaking the losing streak and having a capable QB in town will really help the guys relax and get back to business. 9-9 still seems like a stretch to me, but if they win this next game in Montreal and get on a roll, anything is possible.

He's on the practice roster and will be at practice tomorrow.

If I was the GM and I believed in Nichols as a backup QB and wanted Henoc Muamba as well, I would make cuts elsewhere to make it possible. The big-ticket contracts are the most important, they are who you build your team around. Make those decisions first and the rest of the decisions will be made for you.

In a perfect world, we don't see Tajh Boyd throw a pass for us until sometime in 2017. Sure would be nice to have an extended period of stability at QB.

Blueandgold should consider a career in professional gambling. I'm putting up 3/4 every week and can't gain any ground.

Almost like a guy named Crompton who was 4th on the depth chart and went on to become a 7-1 starter for another team..... what team did he play for before he joined the Als?? Coincidentally because the Esks made a mistake thinking that Nichols was better than Crompton.Nichols is better than Crompton.Not a chance. Definitely. I don't know what you see in Crompton. IMO last season will end up being his greatest accomplishment as a pro. He'll be out of the league by 2017. Every team in the league except Toronto and Calgary would be better with him as their number two QB. Absolutely false. You are wildly overrating Crompton. I'd take him over DeMarco in Ottawa but that's about it. I'd take the chance on an unproven guy like Jeff Matthews in Hamilton before I would go with a mediocre QB like Crompton. He has no future in the CFL. I'm hoping he gets the start this week so we can see exactly what Nichols vs Crompton looks like.

Kosmo with the GWG!

...this is how the cfl has been for how many seasons? Nope the CFL is the only league in the world with bad teams. Every other league only has good teams.

Montreal is the next game. That's what we're talking about. Try to keep up big guy.

Even worse. If he's charged and suspended lets see what favours the NHL does for the Hawks. I suppose the Hawks could claim he's in breach and terminate his contract. Not bloody likely. It's what L.A. did. Yeah and they're going to have to defend it in court. We'll see how that ends.

Cato is still at home after a family member got in a bad car crash, undetermined when he will return. Crompton and Marsh have been splitting first team reps.
