I'm guessing he'll retire. Sounded like he was leaning that way before Montreal signed him anyways.

I think the most alarming thing about the pre-season was the special teams. Lots of our potential real special teams guys were out there.... Labbe, Fitzgerald, Pontbriand, West, Sherman, Markett, Volny, Woodson, Thomas... these are some of the guys we will be relying on in the regular season. After all the talk about Dickenson, you'd hope they'd be a little better.

Oh, is it the Grey Cup next week? Nope, wait, still 17 more games after that one. Win or lose I'll still be on an even keel. Maybe start panicking after 0-4 but if we're 0-1. you'll have to excuse me for not freaking out. And if we're 1-0. I won't be planning a parade, either. It's one game.

Yeah maybe Stephan over Lucas, sure. Mainor's not going anywhere though.

QB: Pierce, Goltz, Hall RB: Simpson, Ford, Volny FB: Pontbriand, Fitzgerald REC: Matthews, Denmark, Anderson, Poblah, Watson, Etienne, Kohlert OL: January, Douglas, Pencer, Morley, Sorensen, Greaves DL: Hall, Turner, Gilmore, Mainor, Harris, Lucas, Thomas LB: Muamba, Labbe, Parker, McGee DB: Johnson, Suber, Washington, Stewart, Markett, Muamba, West ST: Cvetkovic, Palardy, Renaud There's your 42. They'll find spots for likely another 18-20 players on top of that between the injured lists, 4-man, and practice roster.

Yep, terrible facility.

I don't know about you but I'm laughing at all those freaking out over losing a preseason game with exclusively our second and third stringers in.

The Argos are the biggest charity case in professional sports... never have I seen a team receive so many handouts in the form of star players and straight-up cash. I'd be embarrassed to be a fan of that team.

Who is Patrick? And I don't recall hearing Dunn's name even once... it was mostly David James over and over again. We learned that Burris can completely ruin a totally green secondary... I think they ran the ball what 7 times all game? Didn't really test out our DL or LBs.

Nope not me I knew they were studs all along

You guys aren't actually going to believe anything Zontar says are you.... he's the biggest Ticat homer on the internet

Never!!

Oh I'm not freaking out by any means. I understand that the team last night has very little bearing on what the actual team will look like. Just feels like the new talent wasn't as impressive this year.

Hope you're right! Definitely agree on Thomas. I was excited about Marshall when we signed him but hadn't heard a thing about him until last night when he seemed to perform pretty well.

I think one thing we can say definitively is that we just didn't have the same level of new talent in camp this year. Where's the guys like Matthews, Simpson and Alex Hall? Can't point to a single guy who was brought in who looks to have the potential to be an impact player.

Yes BVD! That's awesome

On one hand Bluto cuts down the Bombers but on the other hand is desperate to poach our players.

I think that pretty much says it all. Depressing to lose 52 0 for sure but let's be realistic.... that wasn't the Bombers out there last night. Probably only 8 to 10 of those guys will be on the roster and they won't be starters.

Does this mean I can get my oil changed while I attend Sens games?

That's why I always say you shouldn't trust the Squirtle Squad

We're all gonna die!!!

I would like to see a big game from one of our D-linemen, and also improved play from our LBs... they were dreadful in the first game. Also want to see Kennedy step up, I think he's got great potential.
